Luke Burt free to negotiate

Just read in RLW that Parra have given Luke Burt permission to negotiate with Pommy clubs for next year. Sad day when a great club man like Luke is given his marching orders. - & he's been in great form!! - But, what do you do under the salary cap??

  • Luke Burt is an excellent clubman & super reliable.
    Unfornunately, the $200K we're paying him needs to be used to keep Hayne, INU, Mateo etc...
  • i hope not i wanna see him stay here till he retires
  • Doesn't Burt get some sort of exemption being with the club for more than 10 seasons?
  • i wish we can keep him but exactly Wat Gilbert Said "what do u do wen your under the salary cap"
  • Burt is going nowhere, he's just settled into a home in Kellyville with his family. Take information from RLW with a grain of salt. I often run into him shopping, so next time I do...I'll varify this information from the man himself.
  • i think the afl system of 1/2 salary exemption for players over 30 years old is quite handy. would help with developing and retaining players long term
  • He's only 27 or 28 - He was a 1st grader at 17-18!!
  • I don't want to start another endless blog about our team next year, but where would you put him?? - Hayne, Grothe, Reddy, Tahu, Inu, ..........?????
  • Agree with the player loyalty exemption!! - What if players, when they have been at a club for 10 years or more get a 50% reduction in the cap?? -I'd certainly be happy with that! - I think if you have given your all to a club, like a Hindy, Burt, Menzies, Lockyer, etc.... you deserve a bit of leeway!!
  • hindmarsh said he will be at the club next year
