No matter what you think of Burt....

[forward pass]

....He is an incredible goalkicker!

Not many tough ones last night I know, but all year we can count on nearly every try being 6 points.

Has never kicked better.

 

[Gronk]

Did I hear right that if he keeps it up he will finish the season with the best % ever by any regular GK in history ?

 

[Gronk]

RLP has him on 93% with Adam Reynolds on 86% in 2012.

I know it will be the best in 10 years.

No matter how good he is - he still missed the most important goal of his career in the 2009 Gf where he failed to convert Fui Fui's try. He should never have missed that kick which if converted would have made the last moments of that game very interesting.

Build a bridge buddy , it's done and dusted. That conversion was from 2m in , so whilst disappointed can forgive him .
You may as well crucify the Crow for shanking the Sulkowicz conversion in '77 and the conversion and penailty in '84.
All kicks probably less difficult than Burty's

I do not rate him as a footballer, but f**k I think his missed 2 kicks all year. he can certainly slot it over the black dot.

 

[caylo]

He has missed 3 kicks this year (40/43) and Sandow has kicked 14/16 so he isnt a bad backup either (and I'm pretty sure he had kicked 13 out of his last 14).

All up parramatta has kicked 54/59 which is greater then 91.5%, not a bad stat but just about the only stat we are doing well in this year.

Exactly. Tony Archer was going to get the Storm home no matter what.

Burt as goal kicker will be very hard to replace

 

[EELICIT]

yeh burt can kick the bladder out of a steeden !

 

[Ashley Schaeffer]

I'd never fault him for missing the one from the sideline in the grand final.

The one from in front to win the game against the Tigers the following year however.....

But aside from that he is definitely having an all time year goal kicking wise.

 

[Bigfella]

He's gotten better every year - as a kicker.

The way they went over last night was effortless and never looked like going close to missing. Hasn't all year either

 

[Someone]

i rate him both as a player and a goal kicker. stellar career at the eels just like hindy and i hope he too gets the send off at seasons end that he deserves.

Agree with you there mate.

He's kicked some beauties from the sideline. You can't expect to kick them all from out wide though. It's not like he choked and missed one close to the uprights, that was a very difficult kick which even the greatest goal-kickers couldn't be faulted for missing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

merkin can kick a footy.

 

[Fifty Metre Line]

Better than El Masri.
In every way.

 

[Joely01]

Does anyone have his kicking stats for when he was at Wenty this year?
