Your team for 2019

What is a game breaking tackle?
I'm gonna backpeddle on the gamebeaking part lol but his tackle effectiveness improved tenfold when he stopped defending there and timed his running out tackles. Lets just say I'd rather have Buhrer running at me.
 
He hasn't played dummy half before, if there are any games let me know. In terms of defense I disagree. Put him at centre and he looks lost, in the middle and 2nd row he makes game breaking tackles unlike Buhrer who just cleans everything up. Guerra would make Sione's role a whole lot easier.

Buhrer is best known as a ball playing backrower. He has the skills ie passing of the football. Sione had his shot at fullback and showed no signs of the ability to pass a ball. So why try him in FG at hooker where all your attack starts. Like I said it will be conedy gold for every opposition fan and players.
 
The only people rating Buhrer higher than Sione are his parents and wife. Sione hits harder and runs harder. Bit of a joke how many threads end up talking about Sione and his shortcomings.

Comedy gold would be Edrick playing hooker, Sione would be more frustrating than funny.

There's no denying his to slow for a back, last stint proved to be to small for a backrower, and lacked the passing skills of either as a modern day backrower or centre, I am sure I don't need to remind everyone of how bad his defence was until he was moved out of the centre position this year.

Does 1 or 2 nice defensive shots per game, but usually that's at the expense of plenty of misses, runs a pretty good line I guess are the positives?

He was solid at the back end of the year without being a standout, am hoping he becomes the super sub next year that can cover 1-5 at a pinch and 11-13.

The fact we signed him up until 2021 was lunacy considering he hasn't nailed down any position successfully is lunacy. No club was going to touch him and we easily could have got him on a 12 month contract.

In all honesty would any other fan be excited too have Sione sign on?

Hits the opposition very hard with his head. His brains have been scrambled multiple times defending against centres. Going down low on big props with his sub par technique will most definitely end with an early retirement.

As a bench utility that will require to do some hooking, Buhrer wins hands down. Right now it looks like that will be the role as I can’t see Levi consistently putting together 80 minute games week in week out.

Remind me again how many concussions he had this year. You've just shown me you can't be taken seriously. If Buhrer is in our 17 we're in serious trouble.
 
I suspect Buhrer was carrying some injury all 2018.
On 2018 form you wouldn't want him, but was much better in 2017.
Same as Ross. We recently learnt that Ross had a ligament that needed to be reattached in his groin, and he carried that all season, but Brown doesn't let it get out when guys are playing injured, which is sensible if you don't want players targeted, but it's frustrating to know that a lot of our guys have injuries that we know nothing about.
 
Although it wouldn't be how I would use my bench you could definitely carry 2 props, Sione (covering edge/lock) and Buhrer (covering hooker and everything else). Brown started this year with 2 props, Lamb and Buhrer.

A long way out and 6-7 signings to come, but could be a question of Barnett or Sione, rather than Buhrer or Sione.

So off to reserves you reckon? I doubt putting him in reserves would solve any of the concussion issues you have with him.

He will probably come off of the bench. Beaumont hit the nail on the head, if Buhrer is in our 17 come round 1 I'd be worried.
 
If the interchange goes from 8 to 6 this year id be happy to have Bruhrer and Sione on the bench.
Ese and Glasby can both play 60mins each.

But ideally we sign 1 or 2 top props and all players earn their positions.
 
I hate the ole reducing the interchange will bring fatigue in and the little man back into the game.

No it will bring in more wrestling and the related injuries and more rips and tears on players who should be on the bench but have to stay out longer.

Leave it as is, 8 is fine.

Exactly, policing the rules of the game and stopping the ******** wrestling and keeping players back the full 10 will also bring the fatigue back into the game. Teams like the storm struggled at the start of this year when the refs were doing there job.

Not sure how many? Will bet a decent amount it won’t take long till he gets concussed while defending in the middle. Especially when fatigue kicks in and doing multiple tackles in a row.

Whether it’s Buhrer or Sione coming off the bench to play hooker you’re already in serious trouble. Need a hooker and at least another 2 middle forwards that will walk straight into the 17.
