Would we consider Burton?

Posted by Parra-all-the-way on September 20, 2025 at 3:35pm

Reading places Burton is exploring his options and we have been suggested as potential targets. Wondering you consider him?

For me, 💯 yes. Him and moses in the halves, wow! Two good kicking options too.

Would be amazing but seems a bit unlikely.

Carter Gordon would be a wise pick up, plays similarly to Burton

  Good call on Carter Gordon, the forgoten man. Big fast and skilled. Can play 5/8 or centre.

If you could design a 5/8 to play along side Moses it would be Matt Burton lol. Easy yes

The kicking combo with Mitch would be awesome, but his lack of genuine pace worries me. I think Moses needs a quick and zippy 6, otherwise they just slow him down.

  He's pretty damn quick and powerful runner of the footy, if the eels manage to land Burton they'll be something else

    That's until Moses decides to play origin and get injured again 🤣

      How many accounts do you have lol. Do you think nobody can see

  With the exception of Moses he would be the quickest of any our three quarters with exception of JAC.
  
  Crazy talk Joey have you watched his games he has scored at least 2 length of the field tries that I have seen.
  
  Deceptively he is very quick! More importantly quick enough and just as quick as Dyllan.

    Russel would be quicker than Burton

      Not according to the trackers!
