I think another player of this man's rugby league calibre would be a gigantic boost to the Eels premiership chances. Matt Burton would have been a great asset in my opinion.
Came extremely close with Hayne in the side. In fact I would go so far as to say that the 2009 Eels team was far superior than the Eels 2022 team. The Eels should have been handed the premiership after it was discovered that the Storm cheated and was stripped of the title
No are you? I'm saying that Matt Burton would have been an extremely handy pick up by the Eels recruitment and would definitely have an X factor to the team
I agree Monts.I like Burton a lot. Gould has a good eye for players who can fit into a team with a winning style of football. I have said it before but the combo Burton has with Ado Carr is exceptional --Just watch how tactical thinking becomes a big feature in how the Dogs play this year and Burton will be a key player. Definitely a top 8 side this year. Pity we didn,t get Goulds smarts.

We never won a title with him.
Burton is a good footballer but not a great either

All he has is a great bomb
Absolute rubbish. Hayne is in the top 10 Eels players of all time possibly top 5 in my opinion
David Fifita would win us the comp if he is added to this team
Loll, and what drugs you currently taking
With the right halves he would be devastating
You're not seriously comparing Jarryd Hayne & Matt Burton are you ?
