  burt is more dangerous when he is in around the rucks, and around tired forwards, so a interchange would be good to put him

  Its important for people not to get hung up on fitting our top players into our Top 17. If you have a good roster, you need a good 20 or so players who you think are pretty much going to do as good a job as anyone else in the roster. Even when you're going well, you're typically going to have 2 or 3 injuries and ideally you don't want your team to too much poorer for those injuries. So if for example, Luke Burt's role next is to come in whenevery we have an injury anywhere 1 to 5, it means barring long-term injuries we're not going to have as much disruption from injuries/rep duties and we can afford not to play blokes when they're not 100 per cent.
  
  Those are the rosters than win premierships...

  Well said Bourbon. And as I've said, you've only got to look at the stats and our impressive metres gained numbers to realise that Matt does really well in keeping his forwards rolling forward.
  
  Add to that he's a tenacious little defender with a high work rate and that he can kick from dummy half and I'm more than happy to go into next year with him as our 9.

    Hey Phil, I decided to move my comment into it's own blog! A little self-flagellation on my part ;-)
