He played everywhere but FB is fine. I'd play Luai at 9 or Burton at centre to get it done
Edwards is playing well at the moment, but he’s susceptible to the crop of youngsters around him.
There’s more to the comparison between Burton & Ponga than just their head gear, similar style of player. Just style at this point, not talent.
Burton honestly looks like he could play every position in the backline.
Burns looks good as well
You can see the difference when Burton played with Cleary. Cleary brought him into the game well.
Problem with the kids in key spots. Would be running 1st if they still had someone like Nicholls still in the side
I hate to say it because I like Edwards but I'd play Burton at 1 like Ponga with Luai at 6.
What about Staines then?
I haven't really seen him. Seems a lot like Edwards from this game.
See that run? Edwards can't do that then got Laurie too.
Naden on wing for Mansour. With Burton inside him he will score heaps of tries
Watching first grade. Put Burton at centre and you'll lose everythingbgood about him. It'd be like putting Ponga at centre. Edwards is a good runnet and so was Aekins. Burton can kick, run, ball play. That's next level to these guys.

I agree with that.
Whilst its good to find a way to get him in the 17 he is not using all his skill set at centre. Sounds like a bit of a waste to me.
Then still have ordinary centres though. Naden and Crichton in defence are behind Burton
You'd be completely taking him out of the game. Put Edwards there to make use of his strength. Mitchell who's best centre in the game barely does anything due to how the position works.
Was Tommy Turbo out of the game in Origin? Or GI when he was centre?
Come on be realistic. Turbo played a one off game there in a rep team. Inglis played there because his knees gave out or he had Slater earlier in his career. If you put Burton at centre you might as well not play him at all.
