Yeah based on that interview I'd say we're a 90% chance of getting him early. Penrith are just publicly setting the terms of the negotiation. As long as it's not included in the cap hopefully we can afford any compensation they want.Interestingly I watched the Chanel 9 news story regarding Burton to the Bulldogs where both Andrew Hill & then Panthers CEO Bryan Fletcher were interviewed. Fleatcher said that the only exption to release Burton early "if a compromise highly in favour of the Panthers was agreed to between the two clubs". They seemed to be spewing that he's signed with us.
So there is still hope for Burton to land at Belmore for 2021 & Hill says we have space.
After today's 2022 signing news I was so excited I was "Shakin A Tail-Feather", if he gets released early I swear I'll start break dancing.
Earlier in the day I wasn't optimistic of getting him early but based on that comment from the CEO it almost looks like it will definitely happen. If we get him for 21 we'll definitely make the 8. Fuck all the bookies who said we'll win the spoon - they can shove that spoon up their asses
