From Danny Wiedler Matt Burtons manager David Riolo asked the Bulldogs for permission to negotiate before Nov 1.  This was granted.

Riolo is trying to get ahead of the pack as there are numerous centres hitting the market come Nov 1. 

The figure that has been offered to Matt Burton is as a centre and around the $700K mark.

Are we in the market?  Should we go for Birton as a centre or should we get him as a 5/8? 

Thoughts?

    • Well put Offie and JC, I failed to mention his goal kicking, he is a genuine first choice kicker and the naysayers have seemingly ignored that.

  • Burton and blaize r centres

    We got volk Moses luai and that kid so yeah I hope they sign

    • What's this thing about Blaize in the centres, Centre these days is primarily a defensive position, can you imagine Blaize lining up against Best, Herbie, Toika, Xeri, Mitchel.... he would be the focus of every club that plays against us.

      Some people seem to think he was a success there at Penrith, for what 2/3 games and it was a makeshift view and hardly helped Penrith in their quest!

  • I wouldn't touch Burton blaize with halves money

  • I'd be happy to grab him purely because it's an upgrade in talent over what's already there.This team needs more talent in the worst way and you put him next to Luai next year and we could be onto something here but if we don't add more we'll see the same old.

    While I don't mind Jordon Samrani he's not an out and out strike centre and if we aren't in the business of upgrading our talent pool the teams screwed.

  • Burton brings leadership and professionalism.  He also has a great working relationship with the fox and will be able to unlock 🔑 him. Really good defender.

"I agree, the Knights were on the cusp of a premiership without Dylan Brown on the field. The Eels are knee deep in a rebuild.
Best would be mad to leave the Knights unless we're offering him insane money or terms."
