Burton to test the open market

[Arazern]

The open market might not reward him. A lot of work needs to be done for him to rate as a starting 5/8. Swap him out for nearly any other 5/8 in the comp and I don’t think we would be worse off or much.

Well by the way he’s been playing it might not be a bad thing if he wants to test the open market cause right now he’s not even worth the 500k a year he’s on lol

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Storm are after Wighton

Fuck I hope that comes to fruition, would be great to see. That whole raiders side needs massive change, could see it happening

Trust in Gus

Gus is a smart operator. He'll either keep him if he thinks he's worth it or go after Munster and open our premiership window sooner rather than later.

THIS x 100

True but there will be a club who offers him big bucks....we have to hold onto him.....he ya not be playing well but is a future star.....Wouldn’t be surprised if the storm make a play for him or the Dolphins will throw big bucks at him

THIS x 100

His decision will not be so much about money....it will come don to which club will enable him to reach his potential

BURTON TO TEST THE MARKET


Bulldogs off-season recruit Matt Burton will reportedly test the open market after November 1, looking for a significant upgrade on his current salary.

The 22-year-old premiership winner, who traded the Panthers for the Canterbury-Bankstown side, moved on a two-year deal with a player option for the 2024 season.


Now according to The Daily Telegraph, the gun playmaker will test the market and see if he can find an upgrade on his current $550,000 contract.

It is also understood that Burton will not take up his option, meaning a bidding war could kick off with rivals ready to hand the halfback a significant payrise.

Burton signed his deal prior to his contribution in the Panthers grand final winning campaign and could command more than $700,000 on the open market.

While he is still settling into life under Trent Barrett, noone can deny Burton’s quality, having won Dally M Centre of the Year in 2021 before shifting back to the halves.

[UndeadShadowMan]

He will get 700k & extend his contract here Gus will take care of it

Lol I’ve seen better posts on the kennel this is just some knobs opinions wow

 

[diddly]

Plenty of dollars available from the end of 2023 onwards.

I wouldn't be upgrading Burton's contract for any reason at this point. He has done sweet fuck all to justify upgrading his contract.

 

[Dogmonster]

Just bring him in the office on monday with gus, have big willie and Tpj hand him the new contract and pen.

 

[CQDog]

How do they know immediately after a win that he will decline his option. Dumb article, dont read too much into it.

Pretty much tbh.

Burton has the ability but has lacked the consistency that we all expected, with the right guidance and proving his worth with action he can ask for more no doubt.

This win just hurt every other teams chance and lowered our cost. He was so happy to win with the boys. That’s where bonds are built. Beating adversity has a very big effect on friendships and him and fox were the two most passionate with this game. He’s here to stay!

 

[Raysie]

News Lmtd agenda against us continues.

 

[NPC83]

He doesn’t look at unhappy. He’s usually one of the first celebrating when we score and I thought besides looking a bit disjointed and still settling in he’s had some good moments he can build on.

 

[Malla]

Anyway he’s not going anywhere
Kikau and Mahoney coming next year
