It's not zero chance - there is a chance.

Wasn't Klemmer still contracted to us yet he somehow left for Newcastle. How did that happen? Did he just request a release, become a free agent and then Newcastle offered him a deal 2 minutes later or did he have a deal with Newcastle before he requested a release?

Clubs negotiate with contracted players all the time.....this is how it works in the real world. It's not supposed to happen but it happens all the time

Nasheed did say we were negotiating with him and I hope its true. (yes I know the source is Nasheed but I'm hoping he's right).

Penrith have 3.5 months to extend him...but that's assuming he wants to stay. Penrith are flying but he's not really a part of it so how much enjoyment does he really get out of it. I'm assuming that if you're not in the 17, you don't really feel part of the team (I know I wouldn't). The only way he'll get a run is if Cleary, Luai or May get injured and I don't think he would be happy with that

I can see us signing him in November on a 3 year deal. If we do that and he then requests a release, there is a chance Penrith will release him depending on whether they have another gun junior to replace him. They may not release him immediately but I can see it happening.

Or I could be completely wrong and you could be completely right.........who the hell knows but I sure hope it's me :laughing:
I'm not saying that we WILL sign Burton. I just know for a fact the dogs have talked to him. I showed the evidence too. This is not in dispute.

what we really want to know is what has occurred from it. I don't know. There is a few deductions to take from it.

1. the dogs or Burton's camp have circumvented Barrett's recruitment gag, or they don't care to comply with it.

2. in a wet dream for the kennel, the bulldogs are interested in him on some level.

Now what I REALLY wonder is what Barrett thinks of Burton?
Everyone's making a massive assumption that Barretts persuasion will get him here. The evidence also suggests Barrett doesn't want him.

barrets responsible for the attack and the halves control the attack and Burton's been relegated to 4th choice.

straight out Barrett most likely prefers Tyrone May.

my punchline be this;

Whilst we know the dogs are interested in Burton, Barrett might be the one to veto and kill the deal!

Why would the club contact Burton without Barrett's permission? If the club is talking to Burton then obviously Baz would support it. We cant be in a position where the club is signing key players without the support of the coach - that cant happen under Baz

I don't buy this crap that because he is the4th choice half he is therefore crap or not as good as the other 3. He's the 4th choice because he's the youngest and least experienced player out of the 4.

Baz will know what he can do so if he wants him I'm fine with that. If not, then I'm fine with that too because that means he'll have a better option lined up

The only news I have received is Foran is not happy with the 1 year offer.

Des is trying to bring Kieran back to Manly, but has to offload a couple of players. I have been told that Des has offered Dylan Walker to Barrett, to ease cap pressure off Manly.

Barrett has said NO to the offer, and has told Des AFB if he needs to ease cap pressure. Haven't heard anything since
Has Des made his mind up with AFB?

"I showed the evidence too. This is not in dispute"

My mate can send me a text message and that makes it legit? The only thing you showed was a bleeding anus which I find hard to believe a person with inside knowledge of Bulldogs recruitment would be updating you with info about Burton and also sharing videos of that nature.

He doesn't know anything.
His mail has been spot on thus far...

He did advise via private messages of Thompsons signing to replace Tolman well before it was announced, likewise with the Cotric signing and the sacking of Pay, again well before it was announced.

I'm waiting for a couple of announcements now as advised by Packy...

He sure does know a lot more than you Mr salary cap overs king

I don't state I know salaries as a fact. I just use common sense and educated guesses (history would say I'm very accurate, so I'll continue to do so). He has no idea (inside info), it's all BS, if you want to believe him good for you. I don't really care at the end of the day.

I'm a serious person, why are all your posts trolly? I showed you a screenshot of your "source" lying/being wrong and you can't accept it. You know what, people don't reply.

Nasheed must think Barrett selects the team instead of the head coach.

Wow, the article hasn't been posted yet
Anyway, I'm gonna treat this news the same way a hillbilly Trump supporter treat any news they hear...
If it news I like, I'll believe it (even if it's BS)
If it news I don't like, then clearly its "fayk nooz"
I don’t support Trump or any other Politician who’s arse points to the ground for that matter, but to read your dribble judging anyone who may be prone to follow any of them makes you worse than any aforementioned hillbilly. Keep your negative opinions to yourself and stick to the narrative of the thread. You seem to think you are funny but in actual reality you just come off as a fuckwit.

If we are recruiting to the new 6 again rules

We need:

6, 7 & especially 9 to have speed - halves & hooker must have speed and a running game no exceptions.

1. Hopoate a ball playing fullback can unlock fatigued defence.

2 backrowers who can run hard lines

2 props who can generate quick play the balls, Napa is a flop in the modern game. Maybe Ogden & Toomaga can do that job.

Manly looks toxic at the moment maybe Barrett can get Fonua-Blake.

I strongly doubt that Barrett, formerly the greatest five eight in the world, Penriths attacking coach, doesn't have massive input on who the halves are
. Potentially he is even the one that 100% selects the team. And right now he thinks Burton is the 4th best half at the club.
below May.

I'm surprised that people here think that Barrett will be busting his guy to move him to Belmore.

Mum just as surprised the kennel is so adamant Burton is good. We simply don't know. Remember Lewis candy I first grade with a bang too. Burton has only played a couple of games.

It's just one of these fads people have jumped on.

Burton clearly has an effective running game.
Lewis clearly has a non existent running game.
Verdict is Burton is better than Lewis

It was a fucking joke moron....if you don't like it then fuck off. Luckily I'm not in the business of giving a shit about the pathetic feelings of little snowflakes like yourself so if your offended then that's your problem. Instead of bitching about it, you can always block me.

As a never trumper I've been called a socialist, satanist, pedaophile, etc - that's just the way it is.
BTW, in case you haven't noticed, even though this is a footy forum, we do get off topic pretty regularly.

Anyway, thanks for the unsolicited advice champ but I'm going to kindly ignore it - I'm going to share my negative opinions with everyone and I'm going to constantly go off topic....and if you're offended again, feel free to bitch about it and I'll pretend to give a shit

I'm not saying that Burton is a dud but I'm not sure why everyone's jumping on making as if he is the second coming and Barrett will puppeteer a poach.

It’s quite obvious that you do give a shit and are the one who’s the offended little snowflake otherwise you wouldn’t have replied so quickly and weakly worded. I wasn’t offended I was merely pointing out what you come across as, and your so called jokes aren’t funny, but if you think they are then clearly your wit is singular and outweighs your intelligence which is why you have to resort to gutter trash talk and putting others down. You try very hard to make out you’re an intelligent person but that all goes up in smoke with your fake gutter macho facade intervenes... keep up the good work cupcake!

I still don't understand why barrett would be frothing for Burton if he doesn't use him at Penrith.
Leui is good but he is no Quentin pongia.
Ummm because Barrett is not the first grade coach dummy! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out lol

Then this is even worse.
it means Cleary has the say on Penriths halves and attack. Which in turn means Barrett can't be credited with activating their attack.

Which was the whole reason we purchased him?
