Being on the Edge of the Edge.

I intimated a few days ago about starting a thread about something i saw on Saturday.
A few days late but who cares.

It's about our Edge forwards, Wilton, Burns and Nikora.
I've seen posts about the Sharks needing some "meaness" in the forwards, and how AFB doesn't provide that.
I was kind of in agreeance until I saw the mongrol that Wilton and Burns bring to the team. They give away more than a penalty or two, but those penalties are worth it.
I will say that Nikora too has this mongrep in him and does give away a penalty by playing close to the edge.
Right now though, these two, Wilton and Burns, are playing those close lines of edge that will give away penalties but at the same time put the opposition in second thought.

They are playing exactly the same way that Fitz would play the game.
In my opinion, the Sharks are playing destruction mode with Burns and Wilton, in a very good way.

Forgive me for typos, I don't care, the sentiment is on.

Absolutely agree Mate and very well said. I am really enjoying the work of Burns, Wilton and Colquhoun. Even though I expect Nikora in the QLD team, I like him coming off the bench.
