If Burbo had a different last name he wouldn’t even make reserve grade.

Very harsh, Burbo and Brooks seem to have a good combo going, combined well, lots of tackle breaks and one clean break,Burbo looked strong today. They'll build on this in the Saints game next Sunday.

Well you were absolutely correct. I think he's been going alright and couldn't understand all the critics. Well he showed you all today. Was fantastic in defence, played in different positions, scored a try and had a real dig.
Congrats Burbo.

The B in Burbo stands for Beaver.

Do we get to change this thread title now?

 

[Not Paul Kent]

Not only is he incapable, but his effort is poor as well. He is slow to get back to marker and constantly concedes line breaks.

Purely nepotism at play here, only in the team because of his brothers. Unfortunately the contribution of his brothers is now waning, given one of them only plays once every blue moon. Burbo needs to be released.

I think my patience with the Trbojevic last name has come to an end.

This post is so weak

Well done Burbo, you shut the naysayers up today.

 

[JenEagle]

He is really good in the centres

Look i think we just need more consistency is what everyone's saying about burbo.Not drop balls,missed tackles,or silly penalties one week,then a good game the other.

Sounds almost like a young player sort of thing

When gets thrown into the deep end at centre. We have seemed much better defensively a number of times now.

Until our next loss at least

Sure I was shiiting myself with the injury toll. But when Ben T went to centre I was cheering. Then he scores. His one on one defence is great. He doesn’t run in blindly leaving the winger with no option but to follow.

Seibs can’t and won’t put him there with a full complement of centres. But if either of them are out, BenT to the rescue.

 

[wombatgc]

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give two farks what we say

Are you sure? Fk that. I thought all the players would be pawing thru Silvertails in their recovery/vid sessions. Surely it’s Seibs first stop after the presser.

This is why i think Turbo would be better going to centre and keep Hoppa at the back makes the team stronger in defence and attack

I see Turbo was on here the other day. He went straight to seibs and said am I coming back as a centre ? 😂

 

[Raffa]

His game tonight is another shocking display. Can’t bare to watch him in manly colours.

He’s having a great first quarter today.

Very true. He is miles ahead of burbo. Much better and younger too.

Very true. He is miles ahead of burbo. Much better and younger too.

And a LOT more expensive.

Do not forget that thing called , the salary cap.

Burbo does some good things, and has upside in him.

I was mightily disappointed with him last night though, especially that first half.

Those dropped balls in good attacking areas just killed us, at the time, after all the defence we had done.

He had a golden opportunity to step up in a leadership role, and simply didn't.
