"Don't agree withgoing after Burton. Apart from his kicking game and ability to convert, he offers nothing else in attack.
He'd be the usual average. Why have the dogs gone cool on him?
Draw from inside, or wait and be generous for the more talented.…"

"OK I'll bite. Just for one moment imagine if the two rumours that have emerged over the past week come true. Spenser and Burton would make us a real threat in 2027 and if we could jag Herbie in the centres....well! My juices will flow once…"
"All that was said by James Hooper is that he`s been getting mail for a ` coupla ' weeks that Eels and Bears are monitoring the Matt Burton situation at Canterbury . Nothing to get excited bout yet , if at all . "
"Unless Ryles does not think he is up to it? As to why they are going for Burton."

Excellent
Will need him next year
Wraps are quite big on him, probably the reason we weren't that upset losing Stefano.
Hughes and Hollis are the future.
Now we know why the club didn’t break the bank on Kane Evans. This is straight out of the Melbourne Storm playbook, don’t overspend to retain forwards.
Yep. Maintain a strong starting foward pack and try keep them for many years. Than buy below average fowards from other clubs and train them to be solid bench players. Once they believe they are too good and want too much money let them go and than repeat the cycle of buying an average bench player. Conversely, you can do what we are doing with Hughes, invest in your youth.
Wondering if he will get a debut towards end of the year if we rest RGC or Paulo, terrific defender being an ex back-rower, mobile and tough as nails workhorse
Good news. Replacement for Evans already, although he has some learning to do. Next mission is in the backs.
Big wraps on the kid. I remember one of our nrl forwards saying Hughes is a real footballer.
193cm and 115kg.He's big for a young bloke and good on his feet.Runs a good line and can tackle.Would be great to see him get a run against the big boys.Hollis is almost there and while he is even bigger in stature he looks another off season away to build a bit of muscle, and once he's done that he will be a massive human, he is 197cm and could easily reach 120kg.We are all good for props.
Yeah, doubt we'll see him this year, but definitely will be in the frame for 2021. This is purely a move to stave off competition for his signature.
