Burbo

[The '47ers]

If he keeps these efforts up it'll take me a month to go back and erase all my bagging.

I am really enjoying seeing Burbo prove some doubters wrong…
Best thing is that he is not the finished product yet…

Don't worry, I'll be joining you.

Credit where credit is due, he's making me eat my own words and the last 4 or so games in which he's played, he's done every well.

Keep it up Ben, you're on your way to proving me wrong 👏🏼👏🏼

It sure has been quite the turnaround for Ben.

 

[globaleagle]

Whatever switch he flicked a few weeks ago... superglue it in that position.

 

[jbay]

Its the sort of form he showed at the beginning of last year.
The coach must have a lot of belief in him.
To stay solid through the tough times and back him

Ben has somehow become the most consistent and reliable Trbojevic. What a world we live in

 

[Frogz]

I never said that Kermit. I said we missed him big time. Did you watch Waddell playing in Burbos position against the Eels? Burbo and DCE were huge for us tonight and a massive step up from Arthur and Waddell.

Hey Miss Piggy, anyone would be a step up from Arthur and Waddell.

 

[Eagle 1]

Ben was a big presence on the field last night, so strong and unflinching in defense last night. Ben has really come into his own now.

 

[Budgie]

Thrilled for Ben. Potential was always obvious. I could never really understand the relentless bagging of him

 

[Rocky]

He has the pedigree of a champion thoroughbred. On that basis alone it was always the right thing to give him "time".

Those Isiah Yeo comparisons some made on here, may not be total pie in the sky stuff after all.

 

[Stewbojevic]

I’ll eat my words, he’s come a long way

Mr Piggy please. Don't misgender me, I'm a cis male swine.

 

[Frogz]

You can never be too sure nowadays....

 

[Thewestisbest]

You can never be too sure nowadays....

Especially when it comes to frogs and swine.

Go back and watch all the Eels' midfield line breaks and where most of them happened.

Both Burbo or Waddell should not not be in our 17.

 

[Phobia]

Both Burbo or Waddell should not not be in our 17.

I don't know how you watch that game on Saturday and come anywhere close to that opinion.

Funnily enough, playing players out of position doesn't help them! Ben is a second rower, and Waddell is a middle. That's it.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Both Burbo or Waddell should not not be in our 17.

You're right, of course. I forgot we had so many other second rowers whose irresistible form means Burbo has to be dropped...

Who were they, again?
