Unfortunately for us been one man down eventually took its toll and two trys were scored on the wing where our missing man was stood.

I've checked the replays and to be honest I couldn't see where your missing man was stood.

But didn't at the end as in 'didn't have the ball' you assumed I meant for the full tackle which was wrong. Watch it again Burn is up ended head first. Yeaman then adjusts so as to put him down safely.
If Yeaman had driven down it would have been a spear which is why I said 'spear position' instead 'gave him a spear'.

I may watch it again if I'm feeling particularly masochistic, but I don't recall Burns going beyond horizontal.

Very sporting from Yeaman I'd say.

Doubt the outcome would have been the same the other way round.

Had it been the other way around , I'm sure Burns would have ripped off yea mans head , paraded it on a spike then gone home to drown some puppies.

Well you obviously know your players better than us, so we'll take your word for it.

This is hilarious. Burns is an average NRL reject who happens to be better than any half Hull have had since Cooke defected east.

Strutting round looking good in SL cos he can no longer hack it in the NRL. That sentence was purposely written to describe Ellis.

Burns isn't as good as Head or Dykes or even Long. The problem with all of those is they spent as much time on the treatment table as the pitch.

Re: Fc v kr match thread : Sun May 18, 2014 8:22 pm  

Who cares if Burns isn't good enough for the NRL, 90% of the imports in SL aren't.

Look at Dobson, Burns may be a knob, but he is a better half than anything we have at the moment.

Burns epitomises what you want in a halfback,good organiser,passionate,gives 100% every game and makes sure everybody in the team gives their all.For me that describes a top rugby league player. Terry newton,ben westwood are 2 examples,hate them when they were against you,but would love to have them on your side.

He's just decent at SL level. I'd much prefer Smith, Green. Ratchford, Brough to name but a few. Just because we're weak at half back doesn't make Burns better than he is.
