Matt Burton

The Eels most disappointing player in the last 4 weeks has been MM. If possible i would like to see him moved on.I know he was DM 7 in 2019, but he has fallen back into his old ways. Against the Broncos he was less than average, apart from his 5 mistakes, realy dumb passes, and he NEVER takes ownership of the forwards, he should drop into first reciever 2nd and 3rd direct forwards to open up where he intends to attack.

Either way i would like to see the Eels chase Matt Burton. This kid can play and for less than MM i think offers more.

  • Yeah I really like this kid

    Would definitely be worth an enquiry.

    Moses is a very good half but for whatever reason is playing well below last years form.

    • Why should Moses play good football? Who is his competition for his spot?

       

      • Good point Don 

  • So my thing is Matt Burton is a unproven player hasn't played a full season.

    Now you want to put him next to Dylan Brown another inexperienced player who hasn't played a full nrl season.

    I don't think switching out the spine on regular basis is a recipe for success.

    I mean it's a fair point about Moses's form he needs to go better and be more consistent but changing him out for a guy that's done nothing seems like sucide to me.It surely isn't a recipe for success in my eyes.

    • Yep that could be a worry, 

    • Surely you know how it goes on this site? Any player not in an Eels jersey is a gun and would be an awesome signing. Any player in an Eels jersey is rubbish and wouldn't get a start at any nrl club. 
      The hilarious example was Alvaro and G Jennings. Both of these players were lambasted on this site regularly. But a few weeks in warriors jerseys and suddenly they're amazing. The grass is always greener at the 1EyedEel. 

      • Realy,, i think the Eels have a fairly competitive team, were probably lacking  2 or 3  top shelf players or is the problem with our coaching sraff. 

         

         

         

      • Exactly right. People banging on about Sivo's apparently poor defence even though statistically our left side is one of the best defensive edges in the comp, maybe even the best, obviously can't remember how we went with G Jennings on the wing. 

  • Burton is talented . Like most of the panthers young team they are riding a wave of arrogance but see how that goes when the big boys , big occasion arrives.   Burton. Would be a nice lock . Got that wade graham look about him .  See him at Canterbury before us though
