That 70's Porn Star - Billy 'Stardust' Burns

[RedV Resurgence]

I watched his first few games and though to myself, of shit this guy isn't up to first grade standard! actually, he is far away from it.

After watching yesterday, I saw a number of touches that suggest he actually has something. Some good tackles; the draw and pass to put Dufty over; and some testing the line.

For now, I'm putting his first few games for us as he was lost and not confident to take too much of the ball.

I hope I'm right, but I do see potential there now.

Think he has a lot of potential. Will look better after a structured pre season where they can aim to put some more meat on those bones.

Looks a good project though.

Any first grader should be able to draw and pass, make a good tackle, and test the line. He will have to do a bit more before I am convinced. Let's see how he goes against the Storm.

Glad Bill Burns only has to satisfy Hook to get a run in FG. And his girlfriend or wife of course.

Remember Aitken? 5-6 years of not passing, let alone draw and pass.

Good point. OK, I concede. Burns is a brilliant player, state of origin material.

I think there’s a lot to work with In him.
Personally happy to give him some time & like a previous poster at least an off-season with the squad.
I recall some comments from the panthers forum on here saying good things about him which is unusual when a player leaves.
They would have seen more of him than us.

I would much prefer Billy instead of Kerr in the second row.

Hook must be disappointed with his overall game, cannot keep playing him at right edge in my opinion.

Kerr rans hard and strong but has hands like feet. He couldn't catch a cold let alone the bloody ball.

Yes- he has a good build for a backrower and going by that catch and pass for the try assist, has good anticipation and ball skills - another 5 kgs and he could become a very awkward customer.
