I'm going to stick up for Luke Burt. There are a whole heap of threads in which people are bagging the poor guy, and I couldn't be bothered posting in every single one so apologies for creating yet another thread on the one topic(sort of).
The poor guy has never really been given a full time spot in the squad. Sure he's been there, but he's been shunted around the backline, never had time to settle into one spot. I personally believe his best spot is in the number 2 jersey. Since his long term collar bone injury, he's played wing, fullback, centre, and even some five-eighth. Playing at the back last season, we saw glimpses of what sort of player he could be, but then he was moved to the centres and struggled. I just don't think he'll ever reach his potential as a player by being a stop-gap measure, I think he needs to be left on the wing fulltime this season. Seems to me he is a confidence player, he can be a devastating attacking player when he is on song, and one of the quickest players going around.
I don't think he deserves even half the criticism he continually cops, he's a good player and clubman with the potential to be so much better, and I think he deserves the chance to become that without continual bagging from fans of the team.
