Burt is more than capable of slotting into the 5/8 position.
Here are some reasons why he could be:
1. Has an excellent kicking game.
2. Has good vision
3. Good dummy half runs.
4. Can lead the attacks by himself.
5. Adds experience, Spark and skill to the halves combination.
6. Can help mortimer develop into better player.
7. Has always wanted to play in 5/8 position.
What do you guys reckon??

It reakon it could be worth a shot if we dont sign anyone.
He would bring some sort of kicking game which is beter then the one we have now.
His defence would be my only concern.
We can test him out at 6 in the trials if need be, to see how he copes with the added workload, and the possible defensive issues, and if he handles himself well in both regards in perhaps 2, if not all of the trial games, then I'd say give him a crack come Rd 1 and start him at 6, thus paving the way for Jordan Atkins to play on the wing.
