Personally i didnt think he was particularly good in the 2nd half. Solid but nothing amazing. He had his thigh strapped n seemed to be limping a bit tho.

That 2nd rower Jack Morris seems a goer.
And a great solo try from #14 cant remember is name
#4 Akafolau (sp?) has some potential

Dargan was subdued by his standards.

Morris is my sleeper talent in this team. Love the quality of his work and he is a massive effort player in cover defence and kick chases.

#14 was centre-come-backrower Tui Oloapu. Awesome try.

#4 was Dane Auckafolau, the middle brother (Eldest=Eric/Youngest=Noel) of the clan at Parra.

In my defence we were dreadful that first half, went to the pub and missed the last 35 mins lol.


Go Burty what a coach!!

I'm not saying he's a great coach but I did think your comment was unnecessary tbh.

Such hate for a player that achieved a fair bit for our club whether anyone likes to admit it or not.

Burt must be doing something right!!' There wasnt many expectations for the 20's before the start of the year yet we 4 wins from the first 6 games, a fair effort especially we have been without French our best player. And Twal didn't play either today.

Harsh but fair IMO, I was never his biggest fan but he has the boys 4 from 6 with a young team so good on him.

Fair? Does he hold the Eels try scoring record? Did he play in 2 GF's? Bit hard to be so ordinary and play NRL for over 10 years.

You don't have to be at the level of Hayne to be appreciated by your own fans! Some times we are such a shit fanbase!!!

because I don't think he was the worlds best player it makes me a shit fan??? :lol:

Get off your high horse, he was a skilful and clever player but he was a massive downhill skier. Was a good first grader when the team was playing well but pulled a Chuck Norris when the team was doing it tough.

Point out where I said you need to think he is the best player ever? You had a dig at him and I said it was unnecessary.

He was never on his own when times got tough on the field. He was a f**king winger for f**k sake!

Meh!!

We'll agree to disagree, too rapt after smashing Ricky's boys to get into an arguement.

The game was very different from when Burt started his career to when he finished. He was a pretty good winger when he started in the late 90s, but by the time he retired he wasn't suited to the wing at all.

Not good enough. You should contact Burty and apologise to him, offering to mow his lawn for the rest of the year, help with the house cleaning and taking kids to school. Who cares if you have to fly up and down twenty times per week for the rest of this year. Be a MAN you merkin and pay for your penance.

Also, Burty is an Immortal Eel.

How many times did Burty get you up from your seat screaming for your club?

A few hundred or even a thousand times or so.

Whatever it is will be far less than wanting him removed from the game.

As I said a bit earlier, he is my smokey. Been kicking the tyre on him since last year.

Ahh...I didn't read back past the 2nd last page, which seemed to be confined to discussing whether Luke Burt sucked or not.

Seems to have a good sense of what's going on around him, reasonable footwork and a big ticker.
