Correct. Immeasurably more comfortable for him to strut about and shout the odds in a mid table SL team now he can't hack it at the top level.

Your right,burns cant hold a candle to windy miller,thats why burns made 127 1st grade games in aussie,windy miller and rankin made 26 between them and most of them off the subs bench. Must try harder.

Your points are entirely irrelevant to my post. Burns is unable to hack it in the NRL now and is much more comfortable strutting about shouting the odds for a mid table team in a weak competition. I never mentioned Miller or Rankin.

Given a decent half could earn 3 to 4 times in oz what he's earning in east hull, why do you think he left the NRL?

So every aussie who comes over here is looking for an easy ride,so that includes dobson,fitzgibbon,newton,galea to name but a few at our clubs.If you pay peanuts you get monkeys,thats youve got windy miller and rankin.we had fantastic service from dobbo,galea and newton,before you mention mason I agree,but we have had some great service from our aussies in general as have many other s/l clubs.By your reckoning luke walsh,justin carney,joel monaghan,trent waterhouse etc must be washed up as well.

Fitzgibbon wasn't that good,had better service out of Ogre........that players you mentioned are usually finished in Aus,no chance of S.O.O or test football so they come here,in the case of Monaghan..he had to leave woof woof

didn't Burns have no option but to leave as teams didn't want him due to the 12 game ban he had?

All those mentioned came here before the new TV deal pushed oz salaries way beyond the reach of british clubs. Now, the only ones who come over are those who can't get a decent deal in oz

He was contracted wasn't he but his club were happy to release him as he isn't good enough for the NRL

Re: Fc v kr match thread : Sun May 18, 2014 3:32 pm  

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.
