I'm not on Drugs but Burt needs to be Fullback

[Nickeel]

We do have another forward who kicks at 71% who no-one has considered??;-) May be a handy backup to Piggy !

Any guesses ??

Caylo? :lol:

I think people forget Morro is a kicker. I wonder if he has been in practice lately?

Goal kicking will be important at any stage of the finals but Grothe's dummy half runs will be equally as important out of our own end.

.

For sure...but I'm just tossing it in there....if you were picking on form, over the last month, Burt has been in much sharper form than Grothe, and we've got plenty of guys that can dart out of dummy half.

PJ is/was a very good goalkicker as well in his early career as was Timmy.

We do but Grothe is far more effective out of dummy half. The makeup of the team will be important and we will need to take a goalkicker in. Burt may well be an option as well defensively from kicks in behind the line.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

I have had a total brain melt here but who does our kick offs?

 

[Parraren]

I'd probably go with Burt over Wade at fb.

I'm expecting a close game and goalkciking could decide it.

 

[Jizmizm]

Morris did the first one on friday, thats all i can remember

 

[mickdo]

I think Burt if he's on, and Morris if he isn't

 

[The Engineers Room]

He has been quite good at that since returning from injury to the top grade.

Yes from me, but how do you drop Wade? or do you? what are your thoughts there?

McKinnon had me pulling my hair out. He tried a shoulder charge and the Cowboys player pushed him off and scored. Another attempt was aweful. He looked like dropping the ball several times and there was hardly any support running. Thank goodness he is leaving. Burt is 10 times the player.

 

[True EEL]

i think Burt needs to be there somewhere for his attacking skills AND his seemingly improved goalkicking as it may end up being a very important factor

as good as O'Dwyer has been maybe him or Ben Smith make way for Burt or at least go back to the ebnch and probably play as an extra forward?

Hayne or Burt to the centres if Wade stays at fullback?

 

[mickdo]

Burt is 10 times the player.

Ok, definitely too many drugs there. :crazy:

Wade always looks dangerous to me. Unfortunately, the danger he presents is to our team, both in attack and defence. I just don't want to see the final stages of Parramatta's season as Wade doing something stupid that we all know Burt wouldn't do.

You can say whatever you want about Burt but he doesn't make as many errors.

 

[True EEL]

Burt's major liability is his defence, however, Wade's didn't look to impressive either on Friday night and wee need all the attacking ability we have...

I'm not saying Burt isn't good, but to say he is 10 times Wade is just a bit over the top. We need Burt for his goal kicking regardless.

I've been saying that we needed a recognized goal kicker way back when Delaney was out and around when Burt came back onto the scene.

Although during our winning streak, it has not been needed, but in the last few weeks, it could've made a difference if we had 12 points instead of 8 points like against the cowpats.

Come finals time, it might be required.

My backline would be

1. Wade
2. Hayne
3. Burt
4. Smith
5. Grothe

Odie to be 18th man.

In defense, Burt would probably shift to winger and Jarryd in one and swap back around in attack.

 

[mickdo]

Has Jarryd ever defended one in before though?

 

[The Engineers Room]

Burt's major liability is his defence

I disagree with that.

Burt at fullback has made quite a few great tackles.

 

[yy_cheng]

Has Jarryd ever defended one in before though?

I'm not sure, but I don't like Burt defending in the centres.

 

[mickdo]

I don't like Burt defending in the centres.

100% agree

 

[Suitman]

I'ts probably a bit late in the season to experiment, but I'd have Hayne at fullback and Burt on the wing for his kicking.
If not, then McKinnon at the back, Burt on the bench.
