As a centre Burton would be great, as a 5/8, no. His spiral bombs are almost worth it.

  Mathew, I hope you realise that Burton played all his junior football as a 5/8 and could not break into the Penrith side as a 5/8 owing to the Cleary/Luai combination..... if one of them was out for any reason Burton went straight to 5/8. He is a good footballer where ever he plays! also the reality is we do not have a 5/8 after Luai and his positioning gives us flexibility if any of our "perhapser" juniors don't come through.
  
  Personally I suspect Burton is not a happy camper at Belmore and if you are judging him as a 5/8 through them you only have to look at the Dog's performances and fcuk ups in their halves..

  Holy hell.
  
  Pay a lot for a 13 and then just chuck anyone we can afford into the spine.

I want him as a centre. Even if we had gaps at 5/8 he wouldn't be the type for me to fill it.

I'd pay 900K + for him as a centre.

Can play centre

Can cover 5/8

Can goal kick for the right money yes

Burton at 5/8 for the eels isn't the same as Burton at 5/8 for the dogs.

He hasn't been too effective for the dogs in that role because Galvin isn't a genuine 7, he plays like a running 6 with ball skills, two 6's don't make a 6,7.

Moses is a game managing 7 these days and all the eels need to supplement this is a ball running 6, that's what Burton is as a 6.

I would definitely sign him to play 6 for the eels with the option of moving him to centre if need be, the money we would be paying him to play 6 will be matched by a lot of centres in the next year or two so if he ends up at centre for us we won't necessarily be overpaying him.
