Official Matt Burton on his way

[Rockdog]

Dude doesn’t sound like he’s too eager to come over, tbh.

At least he’s leaving Penrith with no unfinished business. I reckon he would have found it bloody hard to leave if they hadn’t won it.

Definitely got a vibe about it that he doesn’t wanna leave hopefully we lock him up I remain to be convinced he can be a star half behind our forward pack let’s hope so

Think it’s a totally appropriate post on his part.
Not burning any bridges, sure, but a pre season bonding with his new team, as THE man, is a new challenge and something he’d be looking forward to.

He's only leaving to play in the halves, if the spot was open at Penrith he probably would've stayed there for less than we offered.

Have no doubt, but hopefully that changes to our benefit over next few years and others need to pay more to get him to leave the Dogs. Making him feel welcome and having a team that can show his skills will be the first step. I can see Burton being chosen as the NSW bench utility next year if he starts the year in decent form and improves as the year progresses. A platform to grow with and an opportunity for premiership glory in a few years should be enough to keep him with the Dogs.

As has been said if Panthers hadn't won, he would have been hungry for a premiership and may not be as patient as he needs to be for the Dogs to be in that position. He has one ring now he can be part of a re-build and more premiership glory over the next several years. It will mean more to him when he is the one controlling the team rather than just a cog in the machine.

Yeah definitely, as he cemented a spot in the 17. We nabbed him at the right time and hopefully we tie him up to a long term deal. Definitely a player to build around.

He seems to a person of integrity, if he is treated well at the dogs, he will quickly feel that he belongs, and want to give back in return. Having a doubting fanbase, or fans who turn on him the moment he makes a mistake, won't help.

Silly threads like "will he be the worst ever signing" won't help. If he saw that, without knowing the Bulldogs fan base humour and/or negativity, won't help

Thankfully 99% positive and welcoming reaction from our fans at him joining us

He will feel the love with his first run and line break, then pass to Fox for our first 2022 try.

Definitely. That’s why I was holding my nose snd cheering for them all finals series. Not to mention the added confidence it will have given him.

How sweet will that be....Burton makes a break and offloads to the Fox who runs around the fullback to score...bring it on!!

When I went to the Penrith v Melbourne preliminary final in Brisbane, I felt like yelling out to Matt to come over to the sideline to give him a bulldog welcoming hug and thank him for coming to our club...I'm hoping he is our next Terry Lamb and stays with us till his retirement...All the very best Matt and welcome to our club!!!

2022 Beware of the dogs.
