Luke Burt-The best kick returner in the NRL.

[spiderdan]

burt had some good stats at fullback but surely anyone can see we look a more dangerous side with hayne at fullback.

 

[Stagger eel]

Burty is the best fullback in the game, Hayne to Wenty and he can take Fui with him.............

love the sarcasim Jakey boy, just love it.

 

[Pazza]

burty looks great on the wing, plus burt & hayne combined well to bring the ball back!

 

[Stagger eel]

yeah the back 3 really shined yesterday actually our wingers played better than our fullback despite the horror and disgust of the Hayne lovers.

That's because our fullback is winger being played out of position

Totally agree Jake, Hayne is a myth, and done nothing to justify his spot at fullback:x

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Your a tigers fan yeh?

So we'll move bert to fullback for next weeks game?

haha .. scareddddddddddddddddd

You could play Todd Lowrie at fullback and the Tigers would make him look like Clive Churchill.

You mean pull out most of his hair and cut 10 inches off his legs? Man, you tigers are bad dudes!

If I was awarding ratings out of 10, then I'd be giving all 3 of them an 8.

Hayne did happen to put Burt away on those 2 nice runs. He also busted the line in the first half, but couldn't find a support. And, but for a nice tip by their winger, would've put Burt in out wide late in the game with a lovely long ball.

And he just presents himself to run the ball so often - and often looks dangerous doing it!

If he hadn't rolled the ball along the ground twice (Brett Finch style) I think we'd all be saying what a sensational game he had.

Having said that - Burt and Grothe WERE both really strong!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

:lol:

You're only laughing because you know its true! :lol:

Wait, why am I laughing, I should be crying.

 

[SDM]

Are the tigers going to try this time? Last few times I have been to this game they sure as hell haven't.

Hayne would have got a seven I reckon for the main reason he was trying too hard. Some of those passes off the hip could have caused more problems than they were worth. There were times yesterday he needed to step up and did but there were times he could have let Mortimer take a bit more control and been the running option out wide looking for the pass rather than trying to give it.....

 

[JessEel]

Why does it have to be Burt Fullback and Hayne Wing or vice versa.

Does anyone else agree that we do best when they interchange their positions throughout the game, and depending on who's kicking for the opposition?
Surely it doesn't matter what number they are wearing on their back, as long as the job gets done... i think that keeping that position rotating (and throw in Joel Reddy there too, as he can play both) allows for alot more attacking options, and keeps the oppostion on their toes.

Luke's strength is his talk. Watching him at fullback, he's just constant talking - barking where the holes are, where the play is moving - shift left, drop back. Makes our defense alot stronger IMO

yeah - he lost a point for taking the tackle at the end of the match instead of kicking it into touch - or even better - kicking it dead. He gave the knights one last play !

I was closing my eyes at that point...... I would rather he held the ball and turned around and ran into touch.

I noticed that, and until now it never rated a mention..

can you imagine if that was Lowrie that did it???

:?

That's been shown to be a fallacy...

Luke might say a lot back there - but it doesn't mean (a) anyone is listening/ can hear him or (b) he's saying the right things

Because our defence with Hayne at FB is significantly better.

I don't mind Luke taking a 5 minute stanza there during the game, but when we have one of the best FBs in the game - both in attack and defense - we have to use him for all he's worth!

Back on topic - Luke Burt rocks at kick returns :sarcasm:

 

[spiderdan]

if our defence is structured properly then luke should be playing a secondary fullback role anyway. in attack though, i think hayne offers a lot more. i also think luke has looked an even better player since moving to the wing.
