Never was but bottom team paying on potential he probably gets it. He's worth 700-800k. We can't afford to lose him so he'll probably get it here, similar to the Ponga situation.

LOL it didn't take long for this thread
In 24, maybe, but at this stage no...but we have to pay him well, based on potential, just to keep him.

His worth $750k max. Everyone complains when we lose but the conditions were bad today

We were all sucking his farts, but him and Kylie were very disappointing today.

Yeah, h e should be ashamed of himself. Some poor bloke even gave him a cool name "Bomber Burton".... :tonguewink:
I took it away from him 10 mins in. 1 trick pony couldn't even do his 1 trick.

Don't worry bro....he will come good again. This Origin shit has got to his head a bit and taken away his concentration on the team....he's only 22.

Bad sign is he has one good game then rubbish the next.

He better wake up against Souths.

He was ordinary today, hynes outplayed him big time
Csnt understand why he put conversational kicks and not spiral kicks
Hardly ran the ball either
SOO....too risky to get injured in this weather. Nicho had nothing to lose as he is not in the top 17. I thought even Talakai was tame comparing to his normal self.

Cant anyone see he is heavily targeted and Flanagan doesn’t assist in any way at all take Cleary for example burton kicks and takes the heat off Cleary to play…. We need at least 3 modes of kicking attack plain and simple look at storm Hughes, grant, Munster…… 2004 we had anasta, sherwin, Hughes plodding 40/20’s……. Flanagan runs a simple unders to a flat footed forward or kicks a basic end over end kick with no pressure….. so burton is playing fine!!! It’s the other attacking option we should focus on!!!

I’d rather have him in the side then not but I think the hype after origin from commentators was over the top. Many of those commentators have agendas by trying to get us to overpay for him, Rothfield is the perfect example talking him up as a million dollar player.

He played like hes played most of the season, average for the most part. Having a monster kick doent equate to be a quality 5/8.
Nothing to do with SOO. He played well SOO in a team full of guns.
People place to high expectations on the bloke. Its the journos and commentators hyping him as something he isnt, a million dollar player lol.
Im glad hes with us and hope he re signs. Be good with a quality 9 next year. If Gus miraculously snares a quality 7 even better to take the pressure off him.
Has heaps of potential.
