Who would you guys rather keep long term. At some point it is between Burton and Luai.

For me it’s Burton no question, others will disagree as Jerome is playing pretty good footy right now but I think Burto is going to be on another level completely.

Keep them both. Find a way to make both play in the 17


How would you do this? Unless Luai went to fullback or hooker. I see Burton as a half.
Issue for me is that he looks like a Cleary clone. Luai adds a bit of a suprise element to his game. If all want to play halves then one will be squeezed out.

Wish people would stop saying this. Burton and Cleary aren't the same. Burton has more natural instincts and is bigger. Not anything against you just a common misconception about the players.

Burton will make a good fullback. Cleary would be similarly versatile, I think he’d make a good fullback or hooker it he wanted to.

Burton's size means could play forwards.
He also is very fast with great footwork

Same could be said for Luai should his form drop

So Tyrone May as the left edge forward? I’d put Martin there and May on the right. Jerome needs a proper back rower next him more than Cleary in defence and Martin had his best game on the left edge filling in for kikau last year. May on the edge should be interesting, he will add something a little different.

On tv Yeo was listed as second row and May at Lock.
