    How good was....Nathan Burke?

    Time to run the ruler over the coach of our women's team, Nathan Burke.

    A Saints hero, one time record Saints games holder, trademark helmet. I saw the tail end of his career, not his best. A tough mid I seem to vaguely recall.

    So how good was he? Was he a mid? What current player is most like him?
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    Very hard at it
    Only have to look at his nose to see that
    Complimented Harvey’s silky skills with his hardness
    Fairly decent skills as well

    Fit, committed, good skills, tough competitor, capable of playing on almost any non key position/ruckman spot of the ground - good concentration to take on a job on a opposition prime mover, and capable of inspiring with his defensive acts

    A very good player without being a star - but any club would have loved having the dependable type that he was
