You guys are optimistic man I'm telling you Burton is getting over 7 fighures if he is released and it's multi year and the above plus.Perth would be the team for me there about to get dispensation from the nrl and they'll be able to blow away Sydney teams with there offer years TPAs and just straight up salary I doubt many if any Sydney teams will be able to match what they offer.
It can work, Burton is not like Norman where he tried to take over. Burton is more than happy playing 2nd fiddle and eyes up. But can also do some organising if asked upon him.
You're exactly right Angry. Star of the night even though earlier I had stated he had nothing.....except a kicking game!
Haven't seen that quality in him before and may have to re-assess him. Chuckle

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 disappointed with Stefano this year. He's been bog average and got bullied tonight by a second rate forward pack
I hope so we need something...with lomax fucking off we have no elite players in our backline besides Mo and Iongi. and Moses cant goal kick anymore he is rubbish last few years
With new teams in place ready to strike Burton goes to Perth I think Parra have shown there hand and while they may go to 7 figures I think a team like Perth go deeper and are getting dispensation from the nrl also.It's going to be a tough sell for Parra to get Burton in here.
Me it's always been a strike centre a right winger and a middle to change our fortunes.If anything it's outside backs we need especially.Mentioned this ages ago but to land Burton it's 5 years 1.2 mill per season as a starter and the kicker after footy opportunity and a big fat TPA to finish the deal off.IMO that's what it'll take to land Burton.If your not in this ball park don't bother offering as that's what it'll take.
Coryn last week you were making similar offers to land Farnworth. So to your thinking we'd have Moses, Burton and Farnworth chewing up more than one third of our entire salary cap. There's another 27 other players to squeeze into 8 mill, that's not even $300k per player.
I know someone will point out all sorts of holes in these figures but I don't think people realise how difficult it probably is to juggle an nrl roster on an ongoing basis with any number of things that are occurring all of the time.
"Well Lorenzo doesn't take off if the plan is to try and move Burton to Centre. So Lorenzo is there already then you lose Burton as a quality player.
If Ryles goes Burton, that is his future 6 I reckon. Remember, Ryles went for Galvin with Lorenzo at…"

Dogs would pitch in for next year you would assume. $750k is a decent price for an experienced 5/8 with rep level experience and a premiership winner.
Though to get him over i reckon you need to go $850k. Which even then i feel is not too bad.

I know that Coryn, it's same as people saying he would be happy with Centre when he can get 5/8 money.
Im saying same as you.
Although, Perth has this money, yet signed nobody. Why?

Best player on the paddock tonight
