Been seeing everywhere in a lot of comment sections of posts that have to do with like the Spencer signings and just who eels are rumoured to go after.
Very interesting as a lot of comments on those posts are talking about another signing particularly an outside back is already lined up.Normally I'll brush it off but been seeing to many to think it's probably real.
Thoughts?

I find it hard to believe we don't end up with at least two more signings. Now the quality of those signings i do not know but we have spots to fill as Joash is leaving as well.
When you look at our current outside backs, you can't go into a season that thin on the ground. No doubt at least one or two quality signings coming you would think.
We will know more after nov 1st there will be alot of movement going on. I reckon burton may end up at parra in 2027. Dogs want brimson who is on 950k and no way does canterbury have cap space to get him. Titans won't pay any freight either. So maybe eels take burton off the dogs books and brimson to dogs to play fullback
I always felt Burton would not leave to play Centre. But his options could be limited therefore we could nab him to play Centre. If we did that would be amazing.
I reckon burto would play centre for 1 year then move to 6 in 28 if he was to come early to parra.
1.longi 2.kelly 3.burton 4.penisini 5.samrani until fox comes back if not sacked
It would make sense if we offer 6 money of course he would come early to secure a long term contract. I know people are saying Dogs will keep him, honestly they have pushed him out the door. They gave the reins to Crichton of all people another centre... if Burton was happy he wouldnt go to November 1st. Im liking this scenario to Preston. On all accounts Preston wouldve got a larger packet going to November 1st from alot of clubs. But he chose to stay, in my opion, for unders. If its a two horse race I think we win, especially if Perth are serious about a 1.7mil contract for Latrell, they wont be able to afford Burto. Alot of their curernt squad are already on overs to bring them to Perth.
Our outside backs are middle tier guys who'll do a job but we need at least one of them cough Iongi to improve them and a drop of class to be signed it's crucial.We can't live with Samrani and Penisini in the centres all year they just don't frighten teams much like our wingers.
Best would have been perfect but from the sounds of things he's not moving we need someone who that is cross your fingers and wait for the next media report.
Burton i'm for sure confident. Having Burton, Lenui, Moses, Luai, Sua, Paulo, Hopgood, Jack Williams and maybe Fox and the having young guns like TDS,Iongi, Samrani, Pensini, Tuivati, Teacum brown and then you look in our pathways we are more stacked.
The Future is now and Ryles is setting this team up for long term success and there is a reason why he's getting another deal on his contract.
