News Matt Burton wants out

[Noeasyday]

Cleary has been ruled out for this week's game.
It'll be interesting to see if Burton starts OT comes off the bench.

Imagine he gets snubbed..lol

Again Gus. He overpaid so many players and if he didn't we'd have more space now which would probably allow us to replace Burton. We are lucky the good he did setting up the juniors gives cheap talent or we'd be where you ended up after Des.

Gus is a little hard to listen to though when it comes to the Panthers juniors and how much better prepared they are to most of the rest of the league

I would think Luai at halfback, May at five-eighth, and Burton off the bench

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

If Burton gets snubbed, Panthers can’t say they’re keeping him for depth anymore.

I'm 99% certain Burton starts. Would be something to see if he doesn't, the media will go to town on the Panthers if he doesn't.

I am curious to see what happens IF Burton has a longer stint in FG in the Panthers halves and kills it

 

[Bulldog1966]

Hope he does, love to see how he goes in prime time up against some tough hombres.

fair enough

Can't wait to watch him. Panthers have made a huge mistake choosing Luai over Burton. He is all class.

I was thinking along the lines of if Burton shows up Luai and/or Cleary but has been forced out of the club to get a FG gig

yeh sorry i was quoting beasty saying he 99% starts, love to see him play tomorrow night

 

[Spoonman84]

I really hope he gets the start as it will be a great test for him. It will be interesting to see what role he plays if he comes in and calls the shots like a game managing halfback or Luai will play that role and Burton plays off him. I’d love to see him control the whole game and see if he’s up to it.

Is the obvious choice considering the noise but imagine they pick Jaemon Salman instead lol

They kept Luai as
1. He played with Nathan through juniors
2. If Luai for example came to us instead of Burton the Samoan connection at Penrith would have been weakened and perhaps we would have had a better shot at snaring Leniu. I believe Panthers were cautious of this in their assesment as well

 

[Wahesh]

Im at a function this Saturday night with a very senior panthers official so ill be sussing him out

How did it go?

 

[Oldpanther]

Burton should start. May is too much a utility to waste at half while the actual half is on the bench.

 

[Moedogg]

Hope he tanks and Panthers lose.

 

[Typical dog]

I've been guilty of putting a bit of shit on Ivan recently, but it will be good to see Burton playing in the halves with good players around him. We will be able to see the potential he has when the forwards give him some opportunity and space.
