Main thing is that there is Laundy DNA
People saying her has signed or 99% signed?? Surely if he was signed for 22 and 23 it would have been announced by now. Let's face the truth he has not signed......hopefully he will soon but he must be considering other offers

Or his manager knows he wants to sign with us but he's trying to milk us out of more money. The longer they stall the more desperate we become so we might just up our offer. That's what I would do if I was his manager - especially when there are 3 other clubs after him. That's why we need to put a deadline on it. I'm not a fan of this "give them as much time as they need" crap otherwise it'll turn into another Lattrell Mitchell saga (if it's not one already)

Jake Clifford was linked with the Knights at least 1 month ago and it only became official today. I'm sure they tried to get a 2021 release but weren't able to too. I'd assume you'd want to know 100% before announcing.

I think the key is Stephen Crichton staying or going. If he goes they might offer more to Burton to stay, and try convince him to be a centre. Or his manager wants to wait and see how it plays out as well because it might force more money out of the dogs. This is assuming he hasn’t already agreed to 22/23.

Is this thread still going???? :grinning: Man we sound needy :(
We've waited 3 years to potentially make signings that'll turn the roster/results around (as is we're still much same same, 3 roster spots to fill so still hope). Every day that keeps passing is torture. Not too long to go hopefully.

When is anything ever 100% in the silly season. They could keep negotiating for a release in '21 even if 22/23 is announced. An announcement wouldn't change much, so I reckon they are still negotiating and nothing is signed yet.

I think the right way would be to get a 100% from Penrith that he won't be released first, maybe they're waiting for clarity on Luai or Crichton to re-sign and we've given them a deadline before we'll announce it anyways, or like you said we haven't signed him for 22/23.

Dean Ritchie on Bsb this morning saying Burton is in Dubbo with family. Doesn’t return to training for at least 3 weeks.

Has offers from panthers , dogs, sharks and tigers. Still thinks he will end up at dogs but nothing about when decision will be made
