Official Matt Burton to join the Bulldogs in 2022

[Oldpanther]

There is no right or wrong answer. Obviously Penrith want to keep him but in all likelihood he wont be in their top 17. I think its wrong to when people say "he doesnt want to be there". The club has treated him fine. Developed him from a young age and gave him his shot. The only reason he wouldnt want to be there is because he has been offered a starting spot and a shitload more money elsewhere. Its got nothing to do with the panthers treatment of him so I think if they made him stick to the last year of his contract he would be ok with that.

But on the flip side I heard Phil Gould on a podcast a few months ago talking about the systems the panthers set up. He said the most important thing was to develop the juniors into good people as well as good footballers. All of their juniors must do some sort of study to have a backup plan. When they asked him who the biggest success story out of the junior program was he said some guy who didnt even play first grade but has since succeeded outside of football.

So if their stance is to do whats best for the player then they let him go and develop his career elsewhere. But judging by their CEO's comments he doesnt share the same opinion as Gould

Our current CEO is an idiot. Gus has his moments in commentary but did good work and cares about players before anything else.

Lol, slutos!

Sluttos was an absolute dump and full of patrons with poor hygiene and low morals.

We would occasionally venture there after being kicked out of the Revesby Roundhouse.

All those old moles from the landsdown caravan park frequented the joint

Has the hitman Peter Johnston been mentioned?

You just did my bro

 

[D- voice]

He also reminds me of Scott Hill

I think he reminds TBaz of himself

I tend not to discriminate against girls with low morals,
Lets just say it’s way down on my checklist.

I just hope he stays off the roofs

And hopefully his choice of beverage is not a poofs one

 

[halfcast]

We need to make Daryl Clark, the english hooker a priority signing next. I rate him better than Josh Hodgson.

And if we get the fox then this team is a finals contender. We might be short a strike edge back rower though which im hoping we can develop..........or angus chricton leaving the roosters

DC is a must.. a real 9 is a must

And here I thought the bad smell was coming from the Georges River down the road

IMO Burton will be at Belmore the week before Christmas.

The fact that Baz and Hill have publicly stated we want him here, and we have left cap space for him, is an indication

The fact that Penrith have gone from a "definite no" to "OK we'll release him if our conditions are met" is another indication

Finally, the fact that we're negotiating for an early release (according to Assassin) means Burton wants to leave otherwise he (or his manger) would have told us he wants to stay at Penrith in 21 as I can't imagine we would be negotiating for an early release without his permission

Unless Penrith's demands are outrageous, he'll be here for his first week of preseason just before Christmas. Hopefully JAC is here too (on loan)

Burton can't be that dumb to want to stay at the riff for another year and earn 250k less. Letting Smith go to clear space makes sense now. Cmon Burton just party with Todd Carney and Pearce for the rest of the year and you'll be at the Dogs in no time. Don't forget the poodle.

 

[Hulk76]

The whole thing about 'if their terms are met' is just bullshit so all clubs think they are not weak and roll over. It actually gave me confidence hearing that as I now believe he is a genuine chance of being released.

 

[Dognacious]

Wouldn't give up on release. Penrith will have less interest spending the year developing him as a centre, now they know he's going. They only wanted to try that to keep him.

They might be waiting for us to sweeten the transfer fee. We will pay it I reckon, Trent will want his halves pairing together asap

Hahahaha that’s the place mate. Old pink building. Not sure what’s there now

From memory, just the delapadated building. There is a servo next to it.

PS do you still get the window washers at the Mechano set? Fkn pricks make your windows dirtier lol

That’s the one mate. Always massive brawls over taxis and who got the last pie from the servo haha. I haven’t driven through there for years but those blokes looked like they had crawled out of the sewer haha

With a little bit of Ponga in his big side step.

 

[Tassie Devil]

I think It’s a balance between a number of factors but none less then what club do Penrith what to be perceived as? Extremely professional with high standards that can’t be compromised I.e you sign a contract then you honour it.. but also that club known to be a hard ass and always put their on field performances before anything else... the latter may upset player managers.. there is a lot to shift through before making any decision. I guess Penrith could always ask us to pull out of the race to sign Leniu if they give Burton up a year early. There is a lot they could ask us to do considering they hold all the chips.

Sluttos? Pink Palace?

Why didn't I hear of these places when I was younger? Sounds EXACTLY where I could've picked up. Probably the only place if I'm being honest!
