Until the next game....That’s the new, new worst call I’ve seen.
This game is losing me. What a fucking debacle.
It's being over-officiated to the point where it isn't a spectacle anymore. I get very little enjoyment out of it these days. Only watch it because I've watched it for over 40 years and it's my default mode now. But it's getting harder and harder to watch this shit.It's tough to watch what should be an entertaining sport be ruined by the people that run it.
In fairness, Cooper Johns was picked ahead of him for that game before he was a late scratching. Burton isn't a virtual unknown, but I don't think anyone could anticipate how quickly his game would develop in the space of a year. Penrith were fortunate that the NRL aren't sticklers, but at the same time, it's good to see a story like that come to life like it did.
Gus is too much, but it was good that he was on the call and could speak for a lot of these juniors. I don't think I've heard such an insiders call for a game in years.
