Burbo

As backs should be.
Imagine if burbo was a line break threat, Koula would be top try scorer

Backs should all the 3rd for centres for run metres?

Nit picking but missing the point.

Koula one of fastest in NRL.

Burbo is not a line break threat. There is no arguing that.

You literally said we don’t have centres that make big metres which was easily proven wrong with facts. That’s not ‘nit picking’.

No I believe we are discussing different points, I'm not comparing Burbo and Koula.

I simply replied to your comment saying we dont have centres who make yardage by pointing out Kouka is 3rd for all centres for run metres.

Coming out of our 20.

Burbo showed steady improvement last season and has largely played to a quite good level this year
Haven "t noticed those occasional wider hole running good outcomes this season, more concentrated in closer ruck attack but sure that he has not lost any of his general mobility to make the most of this ability and his back up and support play has been quite impressive in 25 as well .
Defensively , pretty much holding his side of the ruck in good enough check and more then robust at times also
Definitely in the keeper category the past 18 months or so and maybe still has just a little more up side and probably a benefit too that he has filled out quite a bit the past couple of seasons

I think Burbo has been one of our best this season, except when defending out of position in the centres. But I agree he is very much a first grader now and he hasn't hit his ceiling yet.

Incidentally - one thing I am noticing more and more, from things like the above photo but also his behavior on social media, is that Saab can be a bit of a knob.

Saab is a probably my least favourite manly player. Big Andrew Tate vibes.

One week half the people on here want to give him a wristie after a game then next week than want him hung, drawn and quartered .....

I’ve been pretty consistent in wanting to give him a wristie the whole time 😂

He is average at best and indicative of what we have come to accept as good enough. Would not make any top 8 side starting 13.
Similar to Croker - “ trying hard” is good enough.

Knobness has been increasing in the opposite direction to his form.

His hands must be so tired from the gang signals that he can’t catch on match day when it counts.

A Coen Hess situation.

You know, a bet each way.
