Full credit to Luke Burt

I hope I don't put the mock on him but well done to Luke Burt for making the U20s grand final in his second season as coach. I was one of the people who doubted Burt's appointment because it looked like the club was settling for the easy option rather than search for the best man possible but their choice is certainly vindicated now.

I watched the boys this evening and there is a clear parallel with the NRL team in that their game is also based on power and brutality. We bashed Penrith out of the contest in a very impressive 80 minute performance. Special mention to Dylan Brown who played beautifully at just 17 yrs filling in for no. 7 Troy Dargan.

"I didn't have much time for him, but i've had my arse spanked and it's all credit to the kid. He is playing some very good footy. Hope he has a huge break out year for us."

"Da Silva against tiring defenders with 25 min left in a game is probably going to cause headaches. He's lightning fast. Riley is your 60-70 min hard working 9"

"I was a stern TDS supporter while also liking but not loving Smith. It is no question at all we are a better outfit with Smith. After a full pre-season Da Silva looks similar which is not a great at the moment."
