Luke Burgess seems like a particularly nice bloke. He is a reasonable defender. He seems to be able to kick okay. But his pass is not up to halfback standard.
How many times in the Fiji Test did it land at Cooper’s feet or above his head or behind him? Way too many is the answer.
The next question is how many passes were shaped like the Harbour Bridge? The answer to that is all of them.
The person who throws the most passes in a game is the halfback – 40% or more. It beggars belief that Luke is still in the Wallabies team. He is not an international quality halfback.
It’s not very nice bagging someone who is clearly giving his all. I don’t blame him. I blame the selectors.
My next question is can anyone tell me why he is in the team? We have better passers than him. Discuss.
