Like a lot of our players ‘ adding 5 to 10 kilos in the off-season will work wonders.

Would be good if the 5 to 10 kilos were all muscle not a tub of lard.

He's a back rower that continually gets shifted to the centres when someone goes down. I'd prefer to judge him after an extended period of playing in the back row. I also think he has something to offer

It happens so often, but Hook won't put a back on the bench?

He must see versatility in Burns. But in my opinion he is definitely not a centre.
Someone like Brayden Wiliame would be a much better option on the bench to cover edge/centre, although he is off at the end of the season

Or he will just get slower and less mobile than he already is. Another Griffin mistake we will have to endure as Griffin is a stubborn mule (i.e Norman)

I won't bag Hook for anything. He is still in "the honeymoon period" with me, and possibly will be there next year as well. I am just so grateful to have someone other than Mc85 coaching us. (I will declare that I respected Mc85 as a player, but he offered nothing as a FG coach).

Kite and Frizz much the same in their early years. I'm prepared to be patient with Billy Burns.

The honeymoon is over if Norman is selected again, it makes no sense for the present and absolutely no sense for the future.

I stick with forgiving Hook for anything at the moment, but I can't disagree with anything in your statement. Would love to never see Norman in the big red v again.

B Moz couldn’t catch a cold in his early years
as well. Luke Patten was another.

 

[This Year?]

Burns needs to be put in the 11 jumper and left there. He runs some great lines at times and needs stability and structure for his game. Under no circumstances should he be put at centre and I don't understand why it is when we have others who can play there.
Kerr needs to be back at prop. The experiment was fun while it lasted, but we get rolled in the middle way too easily and miss his offloads badly.

 

[Gomarchin]

I hope I'm wrong but he doesn't instill any confidence in me with our without the ball. I know he's played out of position but he looks very average to me.

Chris Walsh, John Jansen, Graham Wynn, Scott Gourley all had butter fingers early in their career and all went into very fine careers.

Burns like them us quick and can run a line just needs some time to adjust to the pace of the game

I dare say that if the above mentioned players were starting out their careers now under the new rules including the constant attempts at stripping the ball they may have been worse than than Burns and Kerr for that matter.

I personally think he will pan out a pretty handy player.

In my opinion Burns has far more upside than Kerr who is still disappointing.

Beau Scott had terrible hands early on too then once he sorted that out he turned into an absolute beast for the red V

 

[George Dragon]

Billy has a ankle injury, in a moon boot.

 

[RufusRex]

i heard broken foot :-(
Sad

 

[hewi]

Bummer, won’t be back running till January some time I guess

 

[saints4ever]

f**k this shit started early

Billy Burns reminds me in some respects to Brent Kite. Long lean frame in our 1st season. Brent pumped up about 8 to 10 kgs next season and took off. Brent gained power through the extra weight? Billy can run a good line. Add an extra 8 kgs he could take off.
