      • 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.

            • Not if Lorenzo takes off. It gives him time to fill into the position, but takes the pressure off him in the process. 

              • 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 the club.

    • 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
