Burton playing ?

Burton playing ?

Yes

 

[Speed2burn]

Hoping Tupou kills it. He needs to consistently be playing first grade

 

[BrendonWT]

i know its looking ahead but jarome hughes has copped a 1 game suspension so there is potential for no papi, munster, hughes and solomona in our round 4 match with the storm….. surely we cant drop points there…. now thatd be embarrassing

He looks like a quality player. Fingers crossed he soon becomes a starting outside back.

after last week, nothings off limits

He is probably our only quality backline prospect coming through

Can see him being in the centres after he bides his time on the wing for a bit

Especially the way Storm have been playing this year. I wouldn’t put it past us, dropping a game like this though. Let’s see how they go this afternoon, hopefully they give us some more hope going into next week.

Can see him being in the centres after he bides his time on the wing for a bit

Yeah sometimes you can just tell straight away with players like that. Does all the little things right and looks to be naturally talented/athletic.

 

[Le Tiger]

This game could be a real high scorer. The heat is unbearable, expecting a lot of fatigue from both teams.

Hopefully we can hold the ball. Get 80% completions in weather like this and we should win.

You missed last week?

It's interesting. When he first arrived (from union) I saw him play ressies and although he didn't really do much, I just thought there was something about him that stood out.

 

[oldschooltiger]

Good luck today WT. This will be our first win of the season

 

[TurnStyle]

Anyone surprised Bateman listed to start? So far this year Sheens has benched players I think should start (Api) and started players I think should be on the bench!

Wouldnt surprised me if he starts on the bench. Just makes sense to me.

... On second thought.... 🤪

Watching Fox, and Ennis highlighted Api's effort to chase through on the last second field goal attempt against the Knights, and the lack of effort to do the same from everyone else. This is why Api has been made captain, he competes on every play and the rest of the boys need to follow his example. The same level of effort and desire from half this team will see vastly improved results. Let's hope we start with today 🤞

Mick Ennis is a flog

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

if we’re wearing our black kit in this heat today well we’re already off to a bad start

 

[rusted-on]

Mick Ennis is a flog

Maybe he is, but do you disagree with what he pointed out?

Hold the damn ball
