Burbo

[SeaEagleRock8]

Is there really that much difference from Burbo to guys like Blore, Sorrenson, Garner etc? I don’t think so. There is always a few on the cheaper side that are needed to balance the team.

Plus he continues to improve. Pretty clear to me that he's adjusted better to NRL this year and I expect him to be better again next year.

Yes there is , huge difference

Melbourne : Hughes, Munster
Penrith: Cleary , Luai ( 4 titles)

If you haven't got absolute superstars as playmakers you need great pigs- Fog/ Brooks aren't like the above.

Canberra is classic example : Fog and Strange ( although he has grown hugely over season ) weren't superstars but their pack is great.Burbot would not be close to making their 17.

It's 'cut the mustard'

Where Does The Phrase "Cut The Mustard" Come From?

As with many slang and idiomatic phrases, the origin of cut the mustard isn't so ... clear-cut. But, let's see if we can't crack this etymological jar open just a bit.

Lol, not to be confused with 'doesn't pass muster' 🙂

Average at best... but what does @BOZO think?

Can Burbo please clean up his errors? Three bad handling errors tonight in attack. Two of those he looked shocked to be receiving the ball. If you are a back rower running those lines, you have to be expecting the ball EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Otherwise his game was excellent again, and really happy with his trajectory… just clean up that one aspect.

I remember Choc had terrible hands but he went alright and made up for it with other aspects of his game.

I’d much prefer to see Burbo work on that aspect of his game and improve it, rather than compensating by other parts of his game.
