Imagine you’re Matt Burton

Imagine you’re Matt Burton

just signed a 900k a year contract for one of the biggest clubs in the game

Not much serious competition for your jersey

every fan wants you to succeed so bad at 6

The whole team is basically built around you

club signed some of your past teammates to help you even more

Have arguably the best left edge attack in the game at your disposal

All you have to do is play above average every week and you have a big chance at becoming a club legend

Imagine you had this massive opportunity in your fingertips.




Sold out game against our biggest rivals in round one, everyone else on the team is itching to prove a point to the comp and what do you do?

2 runs for 18m. Basically fuck all beside that.



As hard as it is to admit it, this is someone who simply doesnt give a shit anymore.

Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Oh joy another Burton thread(2 others at least on page 1 of bulldogs discussion) ...

If he wants to stay at 6 he better fire against Sharks.

His options are playing 6 for us or going to another club.

Why pay him 900k a season to play in a non spine position when Crichton and Xerri are better centres than him.

Pretty hard to play footy behind a no go forward useless pack is what he is probably thinking.

Maybe there’s some accountability with the club also, they’ve identified him as that player but sadly he looks anything but…

 

[ChesoBulldog]

fuck it
Move him to fb or centre
Bring in O’Neill
Baptism by fire
Berala bears junior, dogs culture….he gets it
Burton never will

Hard to argue against

Guys you need to be supportive of him, send him good vibes.

I've imagined it...

Jet skiing on the weekend, after carving it up on the water, I come back home to the home beer keg set up and have some ice cold beers in the man cave with the boys.

He's never been dropped to NSW cup once in his whole career. (If I recall correctly).

Even if you ignore the fact that our forwards were horrible you then shine the light on the 13 errors.. 7 pens and 3 6 agains that were given away a half cant cook under those conditions you need to have the ball to run the ball.
