Burt rates as potential star
In this week's Big League, editor Neil Cadigan rates Luke Burt as potentially one of the game's superstars.
"Two stunning tries Burt has starred in - one he created for Eric Grothe with his brilliant returning of a kick against Brisbane and the other that he scored against Newcastle last Saturday night - indicated that Burt may finally be ready to establish himself as one of the game's genuinely brilliant runners of the football, a player who can take your breath away. "
"I really believe his ability to find open space from fullback and his extraordinary anticipation and sense of opportunism could see him join Anthony Minichiello, Rhys Wesser and Billy Slater as the most exciting running fullbacks in the game."
