MM , why does Scotty Burns start on the pine?

We have had some bloody shocking starts this year and we need to change it, try Scotty in the guts first up, please.....

There was a question asked to Scotty Cummings about that and he replied that Scott can't play the full 4 quarters out at 100% so they's rather play him 3 quarters at 100%

play him for the first 3 quarters then, we cannot continue to give starts

Or just rest him at the 20-25 min mark of every qtr. We need Monty Burns ON the ground

Ev, I don't think that would be a good idea considering the goals scored against us during "red time" every week.
I think this is what Burnsy is saved for BUT having said that, I think he should start on the ground in the first quarter till things settle down a bit.

Um, didn't Burns start on the ground against WC? I'm pretty sure he did, or maybe my eyes are failing me.

what was more of a concern to we is why we started with McKee in the ruck, when

a) statistically McKee's 1st qtrs are his worst in terms of ruckwork

b) eagles would have wanted nothing more than a flying start to drown out the crowd
