Burgess earns a start

[maxta]

Stood up in a well beaten pack.
1 of the few good things to come out of the game.
Hope he is in the run on side to make a stand against the Storm next Sat night
The opening exchanges were an armwrestle in the 1st 5 minutes that the Eels slowly won then basically owned us.
The 1st half score was flattering & not a true indication of the dominance in the middle - Burgess walked into storm & imo, more than matched them in tough conditions.

Manly has had a weak front row for years. Our back row painted over the cracks , but with them all gone we are left with this rabble.
Time to open the war chest.

Agreed liked a lot about Burgess and he will be a real asset this season.

Burgess and Lui were our best last night.

Burgess and Lui both stood out in the forwards and in the first half

Our best forward well done mate. Lawrence needs a rest by the look of him.

It was Lawrence's first game of the season. He's been recovering from surgery. Cut him some slack.
I thought Big Willie was OK also.

Yeah I'm not being hard on him. Just noticed he was playing in pain and should have come back next week.
