With Hiroti injured and Talakai the obvious choice to replace him, does Fitzy go back to Atkinson on the bench or go the 4 forward bench with Burns or Puru. The 4 forward bench definitely fills me with a bit more confidence.

rudolf I thought went alright. Offers more than Uele.
Burns reminds me a lot of early Matt Prior.
If given the chance in the middle of the bench he could possibly be a better option than a few others

I fecking love these mate. Kind of have The Drones feel.
Of The Drones, they moved to Sydney from Perth, there were two song writers at the time, Gareth Liddiard and James McCann. They had a falling out and Gareth moved to Melbourne and kept the band going. James stayed in Sydney and formed The Lowdorados, some songs crossed paths.
They remained friends, so much so that The Drones covered The Lowdorados with the song "This Time".
How do I know this?
I played in The Lowdorados and recorded the song before The Drones took it to another space.

Original version:

Thanks mate. Yeah mad, The Drones are great, and that’s a cool connection. There use to be a video of it on YouTube but can’t seem to find it anymore of the Drones playing the final song at the old Tote which was a cover of My Pal by GOD with Joel from the band. Great video if you can find it

Well there ya go hey! My Pal is one of the greatest songs to come out of this country, and to come up with it before they were old enough to go to the pub… legendary stuff.

I did a cover of it a few years ago but in a very different style. No distortion or drums, more ambient and dreamy, and as with all my stuff, no vocals.

When we signed Burns, he had a low ceiling, we should have remembered he game from the dragons, who could make a champion player look like s**t, before that was at Panthers and looked ok.
A couple have mentioned similar to Prior, could be the case I think he has that ability at prop an offload a step that could really benefit is.
He is off contract end of year, here is an example of the club they should be trying to move OK on to keep Burns
