Rabbitohs winger Braidon Burns has picked up a double during this year's Charity Shield bout against the Dragons, and surely Souths coach Michael Maguire will be forced to rethink his starting lineup for 2017 to ensure Burns features in the regular season.

With Greg Inglis out of the clash, Madge fielded a backline of Alex Johnston, Bryson Goodwin, Hymel Hunt, Siosifa Talakai and Braidon Burns.

And this effort from Burns proves he could be in contention for a more permanent place in the side.

Burns joined the Rabbitohs from the Panthers U20s side, and told the Triple M call team post match that Madge is still assessing his options.
