Burgo's Brainy Bench Breakdown - 2021 Round 1 (Dragons)

[bort]

I live for this kind of $#.t. Thanks Burgess.

Wondering how you explain this to the mrs, if you have one...

Mrs Burgess: What are you doing in there? You've been on your laptop for hours.
Burgess: I am going through the sharks game and writing up a minute-by-minute summary of all of the interchange players.
Mrs Burgess: WTF for?
Burgess: For a bunch of dudes on a sharks forum.
Mrs Burgess: Why?
Burgess: Cause... Shut up, that's why.

Halfway through Tolman
Mrs Burgess: Oh that lazy boy isn't getting the ball again
Burgess: THEYRE DECOYS MARIE!

Either that or his dad checks in on him, "You winning son?"

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to burgess1978 again.

Something like that. She understands that I am a total football nerd. For every minute I spend on here I spend 3 with a pen and paper planning drills/structure/combinations for my junior team.

She does tease me about the forum occasionally - but moreso back in the day when I'd jump straight on after losses to vent (mostly about Pomeroy)

I can't promise I'll be able to do something like this very often, but I'll see how I go.

 

[sharks86]

Awesome stuff, thanks for spending the time on it. Cheers

Hey Burgo, you want to do one of your reports on Townsend against Raiders ?

That's a big ask mate for someone who played 80 mins and touches the ball as much as a 7.

 

[egg]

Yeah it is .
See if he's up for it .
Would be really interesting .
Mistakes and positives over 80 minutes

Instead of doing the bench this week?

I vote scrap D and just do review of Moylan and Chad when we have the ball

Up to you mate.
I just reckon Chad's inputs would be interesting this week

No deal. Defence is half the game, and if I'm doing Chad I'm certainly going to want to look at the Kris try and also point out Chad's work in cover defence

Feel like you might have already started mate

Thread title needs to squeeze in the word Barnstorming before I Rep

Not sure I’d describe Chad that way.

Maybe round 3
