Burbo

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

Anyone know what was wrong with him?

Club just said 'sick'. Typical great communications from the club.

Sure missed him. He's been one of our best lately and would have plugged the defnce massively as well as made actual breaks. I actually think if he'd played, and Seibold had a clue about the use of Bully and Caleb, we win.

 

[chuckee]

We did miss him. He has been the best Trbojevic by far.

Wishing Burbo a quick recovery
Burbo has his moments . Just wished those moments were more consistent

Burbo is the least of this teams problems. I’ve been critical in the past, mainly due to his discipline and that dopey “what me sir?” Look he gives after piggy backing teams out of their own end. But honestly he’s actually coming along quite well. Defence is solid, can hit a hole, good support player and will continue to improve with age. It just shows what we get when Waddell comes in. Hoping it’s just the flu as we need him next start v broncos.

 

[Bradza]

He had tonsillitis.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

We need him back. This year we've lost every match that Burbo has missed.

 

[The Who]

He had tonsillitis.

Probably from yelling at his older brothers: "RUN FASTER BRO; RUN FASTER!"

 

[Sheikheagle]

I said in another thread brooks sure missed him.

Well yeah.. last night was the first and only game he’s missed.

He had a cracker last week but I’m not quite ready to call him the saviour yet. However when his only replacement is the worst player in the comp in Waddell then Burbo being out will stand out more than usual. I think it just reflects poorly on Seibold and management to go through a whole off season, after losing Lawton, and not bringing another backrower into the squad. Chee Kam doesn’t count because he’s 33, never been any good and seemingly unlikely to play NRL again.

 

[Daddycool]

I’ve been critical of him in the past, but he has improved this season. We certainly missed him last night but more so, that we had to play Waddell in his place. That really showed the stark contrast between the two of them.

I’d like to see him playing 30 to 40 minutes and going flat out in that time, than trying to pace himself over the whole 80.

 

[bob dylan]

He is still a work in progress. Like Garrick at centre.

Its only been the last month I have seen much in either of them.

Jazz has taken over the locking role and has excelled in that position.

 

[Thewestisbest]

He will be a rep player if he maintains his form and workrate. So strong and boy is he a tough bugger.

I still firmly believe that if he had played last week we would have won.

We missed him big time.

 

[Frogz]

We missed him big time.

So he is a 20 point player then? dream on

 

[Cochrane]

Maybe this year is the making of him becoming a fair dinkum first grader.

Get back to me at the end of the year, but liking what I'm seeing

 

[mickqld]

He has improved enormously over the last month. Great to see how a solid hardworking dependable edge he's becoming.

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.

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