Apparently he was mistaken for burbo when having a beer with his father before the game at Gosford.

Yes that was me. They are so alike are they twins?

I understand that Ben is going to open a new bar at Mona Vale - the Burbo and Beefsteak.

I have to apologise, I thought Ben's career would be under the shadow of his more famous brothers, like Trevor Chappell, Dean Waugh or Zeppo Marx. Instead the tries Tom (left side corner) and Ben (right side corner) set up yesterday were mirror images.

And actually Ben's first try was last year against the Dogs. Until the Bunker robbed him of it with a stoopid interpretation that went against more than 100 years of sensible kick return rules. See 3m36s.
They sure look like twins but no, Luke's 22 and Ben is 20.

I like him at centre. I don’t think he is the right build for a modern day edge player. The best edge forwards are beasts in the modern game. Harper was his usual turn style self yesterday and Parker is out for an extended period. I’d like our centres to be Koula and Burbo!

I think tonight showed again why he is not an NRL centre...
Rushed up many times when not needed and Garrick did the correct thing as a winger when your centre makes a decision and went up with him and then Reynolds put in kicks over the top and behind and Cobbo had a field day.
Second row is his spot,don't think picking a guy in a position because he has a build suited to a particular position is how you select a player...
People may say Parker is not the swiftest......but Burbo is glacial in comparison.

Whilst I agree,BenT is not a centre at the moment,there was nothing they could do about those Cobbo tries from kicks.They were on early tackles and pin point accurate.I know it’s easy to just blame someone or look for an excuse for tries conceded,but sometimes you just have to give credit to the opposition.If instead of kicking and Reynolds puts the ball through the hands in those plays,they don’t score,other than miss tackles of course

I didn't watch the second half last night and while he was super enthusiastic in the first half and tried to put some shots on - to me he is not a first grade centre. Last week people on here were raving about him... in my view he went ok - missed some tackles and scored two tries where he really had nothing to do but fall over the line. I am still on the fence but I am not sure he is a first grade centre or backrow. He is still yet to prove anything to me.

Reynolds post game said they’d spotted in their preparation that Manly rush in and that’s why he was able to nail those kicks. It’s Manly’s defensive tactics, so a bit rough to blame Burbo for it.

I dont think at all Burbo can be blamed for that
I agree, but Burbo is a different centre when he a Schu play together

I flip and flop with Parker,mainly due to the potential of having Tuipulotu playing there and having Saab back(yes i maybe on my own with the my positivity around what Saab can offer) but the more I watch other centres more I realise that there’s not many,if any,better defensive centres
