  • Burton anyone ?

    I was thinking, with Gus making a push for Galvin, why not consider signing Matt Burton from the Bulldogs? He's a solid five-eighth, and with Xerri and Crichton locked in at centre and Tracey holding down the fullback spot, Burton could fit perfectly at 6 alongside Walker. Plus, if our current young talents pan out, he could potentially be the heir to Teddy when he retires. Just seems like a smart move to strengthen our lineup for the future! What do you all think?

      I’ve always said I’d love Burton to play alongside Sammy in the halves. Who knows what’s going to happen though with DCE, Reynolds and now Galvin all looking for new clubs.

          Why would Burton leave the Dogs?
          Why dont we just buy everyone.

            I'm not a fan of him in the halves he's still best at centre to me. I think we should stick with Savala until we see what Rodwell starts developing in to now is a bad time to be in the halves market you won't get any genuine value unless you promote from within and it would be pretty bad to have 3 players in the spine on $1m+ a year.

              Worth a look. When does his contract expire?
              1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
              1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

                  We can’t buy everyone - the Dogs are.

                    Dogs virtually built their side again from scratch the last couple of years so had the luxury of starting again
                    they had a reserve grade side previously so their only option was up

                    I still think they are a good 7 and another prop off being up to

                    although results show maybe similar to Penrith with a bigger back 5 and edge making mtrs and worker style props on the middle

                      Tough one with Burton
                      think he would complement walker well with mincing game and big body however don’t know what his position is - a good 6 and centre but unsure of 6 is his best spot

                        They snaffled Hutch from under our nose.

                        At that point it felt like we lost our aura.

                          We have seen some nice glimpses of what might be with Savala and Sandon Smith.
                          I'm happy to see out the process and stick with the plan , it's exciting watching a new team develope with no expectations.
                          The effort has been 110% , we might not win every game but they are easier to support when they are having a crack then a team full of superstars not having a go.

                            Plenty of young talent coming through our own ranks, No need to spend overs for an established player.Leave that to teams like Parra and the Dogs.

                              Exactly that's why Gus was shrewd and said Galvins worth $800 K at this stage.
                              Dont think dogs are letting anybody go except maybe Sexton to fit Galvin in. Sexton hasn't been resigned and that's no accident
