Luke Burt

[slide rule]

Game has changed a lot since then. Size really does matter now. That first try on the weekend we don't score it with Gards trying to catch.

No, but a lot of the tries Gardner has scored, most other players couldn't have.

Burt would bring experience and help teach up coming fullbacks how to be a fullback, o I think grads on the way to recovery could get help and mentoring from Burt

 

[Dan-ce]

Burt is like Gibbs. Very under-rated.

Does the little things right

Spot on.

Burt would give as great utility.
I don't think we will sign him.
I do think he would actually go exceptionally well in this team. Much better then at Parra. I would play him at fullback, tell him to feed off carney and pop up behind smith/bukuya... I think everyone would be suprised how well that goes.

It would be seen as a step back.. which wouldn't be entirely untrue, but some of the younger players need to be more mature and understand their time will come, learn off someone like burt with his experience, you will get your turn to shine.

Honestly I would prefer Minichello! he is unwanted at the Roosters.

Wasn't aware of this, could be also a good purchase.

Mini is still a good player but isn't the idea to get someone to cover for Gardner now? Can't see them releasing Mini mid year.

Incumbunt NSW fullback comes to mind

 

[Gards]

I think Mini offers more than Burt overall but how is he faring injury wise these days?

LOL

 

[Gards]

Play 2 consecutive games these days and your deemed incumbunt.

 

[19ninety9]

keep taking the piss snowman but mini was a better fullback in SOO last year then Dugan or Hayne of 2010

 

[Gards]

Mini did some good and bad things in SOO but overall did the job considering he's getting on a bit age wise now and when you compare him to what QLD have in fullback Slater...

Anyways it's a different kettle of fish SOO. Do we want Mini at the club over Burt?

 

[sharks2010]

I would prefer flash

 

[stevekneen10]

i would prefer neither...

As I said, we need someone to replace Gards this year. Easts will not release Mini now so it's a pointless discussion.

 

[sharks2010]

If the Burt thing was going to happen you would of thought it would be done by now

Disagree. Taga took a while. Go back and read his thread if you wanna see indicative timing.

[henry]

By signing off you mean retiring?

Good if true. I'd take Burt for the rest if the year actually
