Truth Hurts
Senior List
FinalWord said:Watched a bit of Leigh Burke last week and also last year. Excellent Mark, Moves very well and a good kick. He could be anything.
Just hope he matures as a footballer a bit more. Instead of throwing his elbows around and giving out cheap shots now and again he should just concentrate on giving some respect to his oppositon players a bit more and then he will no doubt earn more respect. Remember last season he was throwing around alot of cheap shots & Devin Brown from Eaglehawk cracked him. Not only did that shut him up he didn't get another kick for the day. Same happened at G/Square last year.
I'm sure once he matures he won't be so hated amongst other BFL opposition players which puts even more pressure on him.
He could be anything and will be interesting to see if he does mature and limits his cheap elbows iv'e noticed he throws. He is a very important player to South who have a very well balanced side with good depth also as illustrated from their Reserves results of late.
Good on you for trying to be objective mate..... I have played along side burke, and week in week out last year sides would try to get into him because they know what he can do..... he might have gone back into his shell a bit then... but now he stands up for himself... goes in hard, and i've never seen him give a cheap shot yet in any game he has played in the last 2 years! Has been on the receiving end of a few though... square trying to grab his nose and so forth.... as for Devin Brown, never whacked anyone in his life.
Burke has matured, and is a ball player.
