News D-Day arrives as Bulldogs set to ‘blow Panthers out of water’ with Burton offer

[DaveV]

Averillo at 5/8 Burton in the Centres....Seems logical to me.....

No logic in playing Burton in the centres at all he’s an out an out 5/8. Averillo in the Centres is a logic move though where he played a lot coming through the grades.

 

[Vlasnik]

Averillo to fullback, Burton and Flanno in the halves, Use JAC's money on a dummy half. Offer Grant a Million and see if he bites.

 

[Morris1]

We really don't need JAC, if so to replace Dwz on the wing. Hoppa has another yr in him at fullback with averillo filling in there with injuries etc. By then averillo has one more season to get accustomed to nrl and can be our full time fullback by 2022. If averillo kills it move hoppa the centre.
We could save some money and sign naden to as a starting centre to compete with hoppa and cotric.
My hopeful 21 starting backline.
Hoppa
Remis/meaney
Cotric
Naden
JAC
Burton
Flanno

14. Averillo (there will be injuries and avo will end up starting alot of games in 21)

Hooper has stated we have offer Burton 2 year deal worth 800k on his blog with foxsports. I would have at least offered him a 3 or 4 year deal

22/23 and we'll try get him for 21 too.

Ahh that makes sense

$400k per year? thats pretty conservative if this kid is the be all and end all they claim..

 

[Dogs79]

22/23 and we'll try get him for 21 too.

You think it would turn into a 3yr deal, or still 2yrs and they move it to 21/22?

I was expecting around $500k considering the rumoured added attention from Tigers, Cowboys and Melbourne. Think if we offer $400k, then a 3rd year would have been more attractive also.

Id say the initial offer for 22/23 or contract if agreed, stands.

We're trying to sign him for 22/23 and if successful then we're going to pressure Panthers for 21 too. So 3 years.

 

[Haddaway]

Some guy on Wikipedia has updated it so it reads "Vincent Henry Jr announced Matt Burton will sign with the Bulldogs on Monday" lol

If Flanagan is on $300k , Burton is worth 600k. He's a steal at 400k.

Agree at 400k he’s a steal

The opportunity to own the number 6 jersey and work under the halves whisperer will be too hard to turn down

I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank the Penrith Panthers junior system and pathways for delivering us this kid

 

[Cosmo24]

So around four times the amount he’d be on at Panthers. Pretty obvious decision for him you would think.

Would be a supreme acquisition for the club

 

[2144superman]

IF the Panthers were to release him for 2021 then it becomes a THREE-year deal and not a TWO-year deal.

 

[GreenTurd]

The opportunity to own the number 6 jersey and work under the halves whisperer

And talk to god for at least 6 months [emoji106]

 

[B-Train]

I'm not assuming it's a done deal til there's confirmation. Hopefully we get that soon.

Panthers have to upgrade both origin halves no way they can upgrade Burton
