  Luke is no the reason why we lost at all... I know this, I think we all do but dude he is not doing too much out there and I think it's time we use some other players.

  Yeah dropping Burt will give us a win for sure! "insert rolling eyes emoticon here"

    I don't think dropping him will bring us some wins and like i said it's not the reason why we lost tonight but we do need to start looking at a long term option soon.
    
    What are our stocks like in the wings in the lower grades?? do we have and guys with speed or size coming thru?

    Agree. Burt is not the issue, really.
    
    Even if he is not playing amazing, the problem is the overall intensity in the team, lack of strategy and lack of direction (halves). Hayne has to compesate for this and when he does, we do well.
    
    The problem is that the opposition is going to do everything to shut him down, and when they do, contrary to other suggestions, we do not seem to have other options. The answer here is that the other senior players need to step up and show more commitment.

  burt still has speed remember the try against the rabbitohs and the try last year vs the panthers when he covered 50 meters and stripped the ball of sammut.

    Yeah he had a top game that game, I remember it well, but it's been a long time and even if at all this year since i've really seen him do something outstanding like that, hence the blog.
