you move Blair to centre and drop Esi or Morgan. Burt keeps wing spot. Simple as that.
agreed get rid of tonga
More so there was no chance you would have seen him drop 2 bombs and let another bounce like we saw Sio do last night. Let the bloke go out in his own glory and get off this true legends back.
For the future of the Eels I think we are better off developing the next Gen. So we leave Burt another year and we gotta blood a winger next year, what's the point in that ?
bench spot for mcguire and move mguire to hooker or do what eva ...
The best winger Parra have atm under the highball cannot even get a look into the FG side because we MUST have Parra juniors coming through the ranks.
SK is too much into HIS ideas and NOT into what is best for the team.
Would make a great politician.
Manly won the comp with Robertson on the wing, Storm were minor premiers with Anthony Quinn. St George and New Zealand have done rather well with Jason Nightingale.
Plenty of other teams have smaller wingers.
Quinn's not exactly small. I'd have used Turner as an example. But you're right, all of those players didn't have the size of Yow-Yeh or Inglis but they made up for it either through the speed heart or brain. As the great Jack Gibson said about Peter Sterling "He's quick between the ears." This applies to Burt. He's probably quicker than Sterling in terms of running but he's got a fantastic footballing brain and is a dependable player who will do what's best for the team.
i think it might be time for burt to throw it in, i love luke burt and he has such good footballing vision but last night when ever he was given the ball the play broke down.
i think you give him a couple weeks in his preferred position on the wing and if he doesnt aim up drop him.
or you can drop another under performing player and shift blair into the center as he is pretty large as it is.
but i feel burt wont be resigned at the end of the year. with hindy fui benny and burt off contract you would resign hindy then fui then benny then burt in order or preference.
Team stability is massive in sport. Remove Burt and you will cause all kinds of trouble within his last year. This not based on 'mates' this is based on the huge respect his team mates have for him and us fans have for him.
