Burbo

Burbo was folding people today. His defence was hard! Looks like he’s finally feeling the mojo.
I've noticed that in the last few home games. He is really trying to belt blokes in the tackle contact. You could feel a couple of those hits from the stand 😂.

He's also taking on the line head on instead of veering sideways but he can really come into his own if he can develop an offload.

Like a player possessed...
Reminds me of World Championship Wrestling back in the day when playboy Gary Hart hypnotised good guy Mario Milano into growing a moustache and becoming a bad boy.
And just don't try and tell me it was all staged @:D .

Apologies, I digress 🙂
 
He's running it really well too. He has been marked well by opposing defenses which is why we don't see as much fruit from it as we should, but he actually draws a lot of interest from the defensive line.

What would really take his game to the next level, I think, is a reliable offload to Koula.
 
He hasn't made quite as big a jump as Koula, but he's definitely shown a lot of improvement this year. He's also been our most consistent Trbojevic. One of the few bright spots in another dud year.
The guy is 24. In modern League you need to be good in early 20’s or people right you off.

In the past front rowers came to life in their late 20’s. That was the norm.

Modern world expectations ???
