Burton boot

Was Isaac Newton wrong about the law of gravity? Pretty strong evidence against it provided by Matt Burton in perth on June 26, 2022.

Sub question: is Burton the best all-round kicker in general play, of all time? For the power, control, accuracy, and short game... And he can do it all at pace, under pressure with no time to set himself up. He's got the power of Pat Richards, the touch of Thurston and can torpedo it like Ricky Stuart

Who's better?

He has the biggest boot I've ever seen. He's not currently the best in the game at any other aspect of kicking, much less all time.

In the old days when the ball was heavier they would go higher and further. Now they are light and just float around more. Bring back the leather ball lol

As for Burton, good player, must be why dogs are going so well.

It's a wonderful weapon to have,

I actually don't know if he has the biggest boot though. Latrell can murder the ball. Burton would be more consistent though.

He's got a long way to go before he's even at Andrew John's level, let alone the GOAT of kicking one Ricky John Stuart

2nd best kicking game on the park last night. Once he gets a bit more control and accuracy this might be a discussion. Bloody good player in any event.

David Bishop who came from Welsh RU to HKR was biggest kick for touch I've ever seen. Used to be able to make 40m on penalty kicks!

Yeah not convinced. However, if Burton can coax an opposition player into an old fashion kicking dual, where both teams sit in middle of the field and watch it like a game of tennis, then he should be considered a future immortal.
