Te Kura has been building; he got up to 50 minutes in Cup last year and then got hurt and when he came back at the end it was 30 minutes. Madge didn't let him have a break yesterday and Hunt was doing it last year too making him play nearly the whole first half. I think a balance is needed during the season. I'd rather 25/25 split then 35/15.
He just needs football every week.
He's not a second rower. Played front row all 37 Cup games for Bears and Tweed.
He's come off the bench more than anything else, 20/37 Cup games have been bench.
He's the type of player that is good value around the place even if he doesn't ever play; gives good perspective. He's one of those guys that has played local Gold Coast league, he's 28 this year and managed 37 Cup games across two clubs in his career.
Last year was his last chance and he had a good Cup year and has done his best at the Broncos- second best 3.7km run time and was good yesterday.
No idea what Burt has done to turn it around, but he's played 35 of his 37 Cup games under him...
