The kicking combo with Mitch would be awesome, but his lack of genuine pace worries me. I think Moses needs a quick and zippy 6, otherwise they just slow him down.

He's pretty damn quick and powerful runner of the footy, if the eels manage to land Burton they'll be something else
Those trackers don't tell the whole story. A lot of those results/data are influenced by fatigue, stamina, injuries and the individual player's actual need to reach top speed at a given moment. Roger Fabri said that if you lined those blokes up fresh over 100 metres, the results would be a lot different to the trackers.
"Sanders not playing, it has not worked at all for Sanders. If anything in hindsight for him staying Parra would have worked but he was seen as the Fogarty replacement and it seems he has not come along as planned for Ricky and Canberra. Now they are…"
"Would we? I mean if he comes available i think we would have a look. Do we want to spend close to a mil for a 5/8? Maybe. Though with Burton it seems Centre is his best position yet he wont go to a club to play Centre.
But would i be interested? Of…"

Would be amazing but seems a bit unlikely.
Carter Gordon would be a wise pick up, plays similarly to Burton
If you could design a 5/8 to play along side Moses it would be Matt Burton lol. Easy yesÂ

With the exception of Moses he would be the quickest of any our three quarters with exception of JAC.
Crazy talk Joey have you watched his games he has scored at least 2 length of the field tries that I have seen.
Deceptively he is very quick! More importantly quick enough and just as quick as Dyllan.
Russel would be quicker than Burton

Not according to the trackers!
That's all BS. So since Saab is not on it, you don't think he is the quickest in the NRL?

As far as halves go he definitely is up there, he's not a plodder 😂
