Burty

First rule in the book for fullbacks - take the man with the ball.
Burty did that, so the tackle was alright by me.

I have played footy, and Burt brought the man down - all that matters. He could have offloaded, yes, but burt saw Hayne was covering the support so he had license to take Morris down anyway he wanted. He should have gone for the legs in the situation as offloads wasnt a factor, however he chose to shoulder charge him, and it came off so . If it didnt come off, i know alot of you on here would be calling for his head, i just thought you might refrain from burt-bagging since it worked... however the bias some of you have got is overwhelming

Watch the replay, Morris went down but got back up and wasnt held.

All I am saying is that it wasnt smart football.

Smarter than missing the tackle and Morris scoring.
C'mon guys - GIVE BURT A BREAK FFS.
We won, he saved a try and he kicked the winning goal.

Save the knocks for when he loses us a game. :crazy:

I think its really stupid to say it wasnt the right decision.

Did Morris score? No, no he didnt. Therefor it was the right decision.

you are really nitpicking here arent you? fair enough if he missed morris but he made the tackle so whats the problem?
