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

He isn't ever going to play on the wing and we don't need 4 forwards.

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

I can't see us releasing a prop when we are already thin there especially while Thomson is suspended

I think it will be more than likely Ogden that will be let go before Atoni (I am just guessing).

He’s already played on the wing

Why cant he play wing? Were weak on 1 side, Has pace enough size and has proven he can navigate the sideline for tough put downs, Also much easier to defend there then in the centers where he got smashed last year.

I would give them wakeham ,Napa or Nick meaney I feel that's fair enough

 

[Bulldogsteve]

has anyone thought of a round 4 swap, when we have thompson back in the team?

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

No one holds a grudge like Cleary piss off and do what’s best for the bloke

Agree.
Avo to #14 will kill it

 

[dogwhisperer]

Burton is better but overhyped imo. If he was playing for us last year he would've been smashed on here. Won't be as easy playing behind our pack when compared to Panthers.

More smashed than Lewis, Cogger and Wakeham?
I doubt it

You mean when Pay put him there? Lol

He will be pushed to the bench or moved to centre..Katoa/DWZ are our wingers at this stage.

 

[dogwhisperer]

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!

Burton in addition to the other signings collectively we’ll be much much better. I said make the 8, I didn’t say we’d win the comp

I'd love to see what a real coaching staff can do with Okunbor when he is back.
He has SO much potential but has lacked quality coaching and I think he owes the club for the debacle last year so should stick with us for a while.

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

First time I disagree with one of your comment. Burton like Averillo are young, in tough years have given the fans hope for the future. If Burton was with us last year no way he would get a bashing on here, If he was shit house like Lewis year after year I would agree with what you’re saying.

 

[Pity Fool]

Panthers just screwed themselves in the arse by signing Momirovski for next season, it has just given Burton a perfect reason to seek an immediate release even harder now! Not only was he stuck behind Luai and May at 5/8 now he’s pushed even further back behind the likes of Crighton, Naden, Whare and now Momirovski in the centres! Cleary didn’t think this one through correctly and will lose Burton to us even earlier! #freeburton

[Malla]

he’s finally gone to the media thought cleary and panthers PA would do all they can to prevent this. Oh well

as for averillo, he will share the utility role with Lewis, then slot into centre when Hoppa leaves next year.

Elliott was our best forward last year and you want to bench him
