News Matt Burton wants out

[Spoonman84]

I’d love to know what stage things are at. Has he gone to the media now to get it over the line or is it a last ditch attempt to get negotiations going again?

 

[Cujo]

I want Burton but I also want Averillo to get a year at 5/8

yeah its a difficult one....though a much better position than recent years when we didn't want to see any of our halves on the field!!

 

[bradtalo]

Offer them Wakeham, Lewis, DWZ and Napa. Take their pick or all 4 if they want. We got 3 decent halves options with Flanagan, Burton and Averillo plus Bailey-Bondi (?) as back-up. Only place it leaves Averillo though is wing or 14.

The chances of happening sky rocket now that Burton is pushing from his side too. He’s got to play the Klemmer card.

Yup im fine with him kicking some stones but our boy @Malla has been saying this would happen all along

it must be last ditch i imagine

Mate if Matt Burton comes and plays at 6 you bet your bottom dollar we'll be making the 8. Matt Burton along with the other signings like Allen, Cotric, Flange, Hethro etc...far out

wow back.....lets give them a chance to get things together & get some first grade experience...we have a number of other deficiencies which are regularly brought up here which need to be resolved as well!

100%
Burton is a solid starter where as the other clowns weve had for 5 years have been project players we hope come good

Why would they take Wakeham and Lewis? They would know their not getting value out of the swap and I doubt they’d want DWZ back.

Yeah I got that feeling from Riolo’s comments too.

Maybe we'll trade them a centre/fullback and avo will slot into centre. Boh

 

[Apex Cedar]

Idk I’ve got a feeling it will be Odgen or Atoni heading there way

It’s been ongoing. This is a last ditch effort. He’s tried to do things the right way but Ivan is a hypocrite turd

 

[Moedogg]

On paper the team is looking really good. Hooker and another prop seem to be the missing pieces....

Yeah I knew that Burton and his parents had a meeting with Ivan before Xmas trying to get out but Penrith are digging their heals in by the looks of things.

Burton wants off the penrif bus

Wishful thinking. We're stuck with them unfortunately. Wakeham made junior rep sides though so a slight possibility. I really don't think he could handle hooker for us. Too small to tackle monster forwards. He'd be a speed hump

You have to look at from who Penrith would want rather than who we want to get rid of.

 

[Cook]

If Barrett wants Burton so hard, he mustn’t have faith in Averillo filling the void. I’d love to see Avo get a shot, although don’t think he’d handle anywhere near a full year in top grade yet. Be even worse I suppose if Avo killed it next year then we have no place for Burton.

Strongest line up IMO and top 4 potential. Avo can cover injury in the halves and if outside back goes down throw a back rower out there
