News Matt Burton wants out

[CrittaMagic69]

They released Laurie who is a back up fullback... Cleary is being a **** cause baz got one over him

They got Momirovski in return and have Staines and Crichton as cover for fullback.

Laurie was 3rd in line at best and on a development contract so we couldn't use him until June 30th.

Funny thing is it's been said by Nathan, Gus and Ivan that he was going to make Nathan wait longer to debut and some of us (read me) suspect it played a part in getting sacked the first time. He was heavily criticized during his first run at Panthers for being conservative and only giving guys a shot in first grade when given no other choice due to injuries.

That is completely different to a career path being blocked for a junior that will remain in your system for years to come.. as oppose to a player that has signed elsewhere because he is of first grade talent and is stuck in reserve grade for a year till that contract starts..

Like I said, I have no problem with Penrith holding a player to a contract.. they just need to drop the bullshit spin that they keep feeding people..

If they simply said, he is contracted to us and we need him as depth in our top 30 and unless it's to our benefit, we have no need to release him..

Sounds like our last couple of coaches.

Probably I’ve got no idea how it works

I just don’t think you can keep someone from earning their value either and at the moment he’s got a club who is paying 125k or so and another club who wants to pay him 450k right away. He should be allowed to go an earn his value. If the contracts were similar then he should stay at Penrith but they are not even close.

This touches a very valid and important point...

Is it possible that we signed Ava to in order to trade him for Burton? Except we carry his salary on our cap.

Plus 2 back up halves as well as burton and this proves they are being *****

Even if Burton was paid the same amount as he is being paid at the Panthers he'd want to leave early. The game time's the big one.

 

[Gawd_Dawg_BB]

Meh

Just stop, it's actually getting embarrassing now. Burton is ahead of both of them as a half and you know that.

Which is basically what Brandy did.

That comment I responded to just reminded me of the many arguments had about Ivan as coach among our side.

Nah if we lose Nathan for any reason Burton will be straight in. He has the better game management and kicking game in particular.

Brandy may be, but Ivan has not, hence why people are getting their backs up..

I like hate hypocrites and liars.

and Ivan Cleary is salty cause baz got one over him lol and you know it

Got what over him? Burton was never re-signing with Penrith with Luai/Cleary favoured ahead of him. If we didn't have Baz he probably would've signed with the Storm for 2022.

Ivan was boasting about how he is in their plans lol what are you smoking

 

[oldpuppy]

For mine it's a shame Avo got injured and we might be forced now into a seemingly regretful trade. I'm not sure if we can let go of a middle forward at the moment in order to gain a half. Maybe a choice of Lewis or Wakeham would suit us to swap. If okunbor wasn't injured I would even suggest Meaney as excess even though I like him.

INSIDER NEWS FROM A PLAYER

We are preparing to have Burton with us against Newcastle.

PS won't name the player publicially, but those with a good memory will know the player and the link I have with him.

He got picked ahead of him on the bench, not the halves.
