Hello to all. Finally got a recognised email address so I could add my thoughts.
It disappoints greatly to read so many supporters putting the knife into Luke Burt.
While he may not be the worlds greatest, he has been around for a long, long time working his butt off and getting bashed from pillar to post each time he brings the ball back. If he was the size of Hindy I have no doubt he would be making 40 tackles and doing 15 hitups as well.
He has demonstrated an ability to sniff out a try by supporting the ball carrier but sadly the opportunity to do so no longer comes his way through being perched out on the wing and no real ball players.
With all the crap we went through earlier in the season (and still going through e.g. robson) around the halves, I wonder was he ever a consideration at 5/8. A player of his cool and experience might well have flourished and provided guidance to morts and some of our younger forwards etc..
If, as some other threads suggest, he is off to the rabbits in 2010 then I think he deserves to be shown a little more respect in his remaining time here.
If we had a few others that tried as hard week in week out we may well be in a better position than we are.
Had to get that off my chest... hopefully my next post will be something more positive after we thump the dogs this weekend.
