Fox sports are reporting Matt Burton’s future at the Bulldogs looks increasingly uncertain after Trent Barrett’s departure from the club.

Burton has a player option in his favour for the final year of his deal in 2024 and is free to negotiate with rivals as of November 1 and he has stated that he intends to test the market.

The Daily Telegraph’s Dave Riccio believes Barrett’s exit could be disastrous in their bid to re-sign Burton, who is on a reported $500k, long-term.

 

I couldn't copy the link but the Dogs can have Mahoney if we can get this kid!!

  • Nut! 

    Id take him in a heartbeat, I think if he goes anywhere itll be back to the Riff. If that happens though, lets snap up Tago. 

    Out of all the Panthers boys I think this guy would come cheapest and I really like him. Seems so calm. He can play back row too. 

    Crichton and his brother feel too 'Panthery' for my liking as does young May. 

  • If we could get him for 500k then hell yes.

    A centre pairing of Burton and Penisini would be outstanding. 

    This would be a good backline. 

    1. Guth

    2. Sivo/Russell/Dunster 

    3. Penisini 

    4. Burton

    5. Blake

     

    • I just hit 3rd gear looking at this BEM...

  • Love to sign him, but whats betting he ends up back at the Panthers.

  • I don't think 500k for 3 years is a bad deal especially for a player of his ability and potential.

    Burton in the centre and back up for Dylan and/or Moses due to injury/suspension is a good price and adds that extra attacking element we desperately need

    • It would also be nice to take him from the dogs after the Reed fiasco 

      • But we still haven't learned anything from the bloody Sutcliffe debacle.

         

        • I still haven't forgiven them for 1984

  • It would be great if we could get him but we'll more likely go for players no other club are interested in, as usual

    • I agree Slugg

      We need to be like the Roosters where every player off contract is linked to the Eels

      We need a Politis
