Opinion Burton Hypothetical

[kap123]

Hypothetically, if the club were looking to extend Burton from 2024 and upgrade what would you pay….

Keen to hear the varying opinions

 

[BELMORE]

$1 nothing more

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Whatever he wants.. it’s gonna be his team

 

[Dogzzz of War]

800k

 

[Mak Dogs]

800k

That’s what I was thing 800-850. Even if he wants more just re-sign him and king

 

[Doggone1975]

5 year contract
Y1. $800,000
Y2.$900,000
Y3.$1 million
Y4.$1.1 million
Y5. 1.2 million
Equals 5 million over 5 years

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Nothing because he isn't signing an extension right now.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Yeh I was gonna say wait til rd 16 or later..better for him too.

 

[bradyk]

I'd be extending him before November this year. Pay him whatever he's worth (800k?).

This is assuming he’ll accept market value to continue playing for us. He might take less to play somewhere he feels he’ll be successful at, or simply market value at some other place. If we’re performing poorly next year, I don’t see him sticking around. Wouldn’t blame him either.

We’re on the up relax

 

[B-Train]

As much as it takes. 4 years $3.2 million sounds like a fair deal for both sides.

I don't think he's looking to sign anything any time soon though. I'm sure Gus will address it once he settles in to the club and we hopefully stay competitive to the point where Burton can envision competing for premierships once Mahoney and Kikau arrive.

I’m sure he knows we are heading in the right direction and he’s still young and he’s already won a premiership

 

[Aristidiz]

Needs to be $900k+ if we realistically want to keep him around

 

[B-Train]

We're still going to have to perform on the field between now and then for him to be convinced. If we're bottom four and firing Baz, he'll could test the market. If we're competing for the top 8 and building nicely, then he might re-sign.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Too early, far too early, ridiculously too early.

Always a Bulldog

 

[King Gus]

2 kebab shops, a house with a lambo in the driveway and 1 million a year.

 

[Moedogg]

Leave these things to Gus. Expectations of massive contract will kill the kid. Let him develop first before throwing massive money.

I'd try paying him money first. It's the most conventional payment form. If that didn't spark his interest, maybe I'd move on to shiny rocks or maybe assorted chocolates.

Before the end of this season we need to put an offer in front of him to extend him long term.

If we allow it to tick over into November without this deal being done we are a huge risk of losing him.

We are going to be a team finishing 10-12. If a Rooster’s or Storm come calling he will sign for less knowing he is walking into a successful team.

We need to lock him up and build a generation of Bulldogs around him.
