I think this is a great thread and Burgo does a fantastic job of putting together what he does on the pathways, but we need to remember that these are 18/19 year olds fighting their way in the pathways so just be a bit wary of criticising or picking at things like we do to the NRL guys.
Maybe he'd do an even better job of fighting his way through the pathways if he didn't give up on chases.
Age is no excuse here, Sait chased.
It was poor and there is no excusing it.
We mentioned it amongst ourselves and most think the coach will likely raise it too. Not like we are ramming it down his socials, or even saying we want him gone.
If the coach doesn't raise it and Gabrael chooses to come on Sharks Forever to see what people are saying about him then I think he will find everything generally pretty favourable. But I'd like to think he can watch that video and identify that yes it's not a good look and not ideal himself.
No reason to think he can't learn from that poor effort and not do it again. Otherwise appears to have been going well and you are supporting that too.
I won't be holding it against him unless I see it become a regular thing, but we haven't had much exposure to him yet and he's coming into a top 30 contract so he's gunna get a few eyes cast over him.
