Averillo looks average
I looked at those junior highlights to see what I am missing, and even they were pretty pedestrian compared to some of the more sensational highlight reels
Not sure he is going to achieve what some people think
He was nowhere last night
Loved Cotric’s game, what a beast

I notice Darren britt has been named at prop in reserves.
We know hes a second rower. Is this an attempt to bluff penrith into taking him if he shows half a brain as prop?

I honestly think so.

What we SHOULD do is just say we will take on Hetheringtons contract in full, which penrith are paying half on. that should be the deal.
I hope they go easy on him he would be 51 years old by now

Yeah same here. Pea sized heart overall. Wouldn’t care if he was gone.

Whats it matter if we get Burton or not when he is going to play behind a beaten pack every week.
Bingo... Better off waiting for his own personal performance, however Flanagan needs him badly

This signing must happen. Burton can play a variety of positions so if we sign him this week it will solve all of our problems.

When he puts pen to paper Monday I see our team line-up next week as :

1 Allan
2 Dwz
3 Cotric
4 Burton
5 Burton
6 Burton
7 Flanagan
8 Ogden
9 Burton
10 Hetherington
11 Elliott
12 Burton
13 Jackson

14 Burton
15 Atoni
16 Deitz
17 Burton

Obviously when Thompson comes back from his mid afternoon snack suspension it pushes Hetherington to the bench and #17 Burton out of the side.

Surely he can’t be upset though because he is still filling 6 spots in our 17

I would argue he could also play full back other than that strong line up

Nasheed here,
Doesn’t Burton have any Lebanese advisors?

There is a seriously easy way out.
The Moses strategy.
Tank!
Not put in, go through the motions. Play like Ogden. Do chips and chases.
Start talking up how much better a club the dogs are.
They will have no choice to release him because of low key branding harm.
It is slightly unethical, but you could argue he is being harmed too.
I do understand why Cleary is taking his position and good on him. It’s time to fight back.
Next game he needs to do chip and chase stuff and pose with dogs fans after the game.

let’s see if they release him after round 2.
If not, I’m happy to give my details to the club to help coordinate and orchestrate and make this happen.

Big upvote to myself on this one!

I propose we put a team together.

The trick is subtlety.
You don’t want to go in and instigate something that will put the club in disrepute.
You want to trigger the fans by doing some slightly ‘off’ things.
Pose with dogs supporters after the game.Be filmed hanging out with Lichaa, Thommo, me and the players at Awafi. Wear a beanie at woolies with a pic of a bulldog on it but no our logo. Say dogs are the club he admires the most.
Playing like an idiot, but in a way he’s enjoying himself. Chips and chases. 40/20 attempts. That type of thang.
Be a liability on the field as well as a low key agitator off, and I personally guarantee my team can do the job in three weeks Max.
Someone please forward this to Khoury.

Not bad, but I'd probably have Burton in for Ogden and Burton in for DWZ.

No worries Nashweed....I have just forwarded your idea with your photo to Mr Khoury. You're obviously "tied up" at the moment.....

He said that he will get back to you personally, just sit tight next to your computer and wait for the call.

Blue over Burton continues
With the Bulldogs and Penrith doing battle this weekend, the talk around Matt Burton's future is no doubt going to resurface.

As far as Penrith are concerned, he won’t be leaving this year. The Panthers know they will struggle to win a premiership if Jarome Luai or Nathan Cleary get injured and Burton is in blue and white.
It's why Canterbury even offered to release Burton back to Penrith if they got an injury to their halves, but Penrith were having none of it. You can't blame Canterbury for trying.
