I was giving ivan the benefit of the doubt but it does come across as spiteful by playing him in the centres in CC. Especially after they publicly said he is next in line in the halves, to then go play him in the centres is a dick move regardless of an injury to Crichton.
Apparently Ivan and the panthers are the best place to develop him :p so its in Burtons best interest not to get an early release :tearsofjoy:

Circumstances can change very quickly - i still think Penrith are short of middle forward depth so any injury / suspension there would make a difference.

I hope the club has a change of mind and agrees to swapping Napa.
He doesnt bend the line at all and now that shoulder charges are illegal his defence isnt a strong point.

Nothing else has been said about big Ava either.

I think there is more to it than that mate. It wasnt just a direct swap. They wanted Napa but it was reported they also wanted us to contribute more than half his salary.

So therefore we would have to pay Burton $450k plus at least $300k of Napa's salary. I dont think we have that much space

I also understand that they wanted us to repay them what they had already paid to Burton, maybe $60k or so.

I didn’t know that.

From the sounds of it they were just taking the piss with all of those demands and were never interested in a player swap

I'm sorry to hear that mate. How bad is it? I was going bald on my crown (for about 10 years) but in the last 9 months I've been using some topical shit and now it's about 90% regrown. There is hope for regrowing it back
Embrace the chrome dome!
It’s the way forward!
All you need is sunscreen...:-).

This is just speculation for click baiting.
Vossy interviewed Ivan Milat/Cleary this morning about Naden and said that he is dropped for the first 4 games and when asked who would replace him, he first mentioned Momirovski and how good he is and then said maybe even Burton as he has had a few training runs in the position. He is not giving it away but would you rather an established centre or someone who has a FEW training runs. Click baiting as usual by the Terrorgraph!!

I agree bro, I do. I was just posting the latest article on the saga. That’s all.
