Lots of rumors im seeing on social media. Has anyone herd this? Are we happy with this if it happens? I think burto/moses could be lethal

"I thought Hayward lifted the tempo when he came on and really had the bulldogs punching holes in the middle which gave Burton room to run which is when he's at his best. Less organising more running (Galvin is much the same). Melbourne must be…"

And as soon as Centre is brought up he requests a release.
Even better. Opens up the cap to fill that spot too.
But then you lose a quality player.
Burton goes alright. He's not the most gifted ball player or creative player but he has a good running game, good defender, and a very good kicking. Next to Moses and Iongi he will play his role well. Just need a decent back rower and centre outside of him.
Nope. He is a centre that can kick.
Fair, though clubs will pay him as a 6. Let's see him with a proper 7 though. Who knows.
Burton is a true left side player. He and JAC had a lethal combination at the Dogs. I wouldn't be surprised if JAC recommended him to Ryles.
Agreed. DB was never a natural right to left kicker and adding a left footer gives us a dynamic we haven't had in a long time. If true Burton is a cracking buy. I said a while ago when everyone was saying he would go to Perth for the coin that it was a big move for a guy with a young family. It's possible he is very comfortable in moving to the centres if Lorenzo develops into a must pick. Burton would also be a great backrower in the modern game
If he was comfortable moving to the Centres, he would have stayed at Penrith and even Dogs for 2027.
He left Penrith for the big coin. As for the dogs who's to say they're not pushing him out or he's disillusioned with the direction of the dogs. I'm tipping he wants to stay in Sydney with a young family or I reckon Perth might have got him by now. If Parra offer him a good contract with the option to start at 6 but no guarantees he'll stay there I wouldn't be shocked if that's a genuine option for him. He's also played origin at centre and would unlikely play 6 at origin so I doubt he's as against playing centre as you might think. Bulldogs already have 2 pretty decent centres so 3 doesn't go into 2
