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.

      Renzo I feel has struggled stepping up from JF to Nsw cup. A big part would be the fact he is surrounded by rookies in his team so there is plenty of inexperience around him which hasn't helped. Will be interested how he goes next year after a pre season and a full strength cup team around him

  Hi Offside, Why did the Warriors suddenly fpiled up points against us. I saw in NRL website that it was 16-14 at around the 43 or 49 minute mark. Next time I checked, it was 42-14.

Would we? I mean if he comes available i think we would have a look. Do we want to spend close to a mil for a 5/8? Maybe. Though with Burton it seems Centre is his best position yet he wont go to a club to play Centre.

But would i be interested? Of course.

  Yeah I just don't see him as a 5/8. His kicking game is strong, but you need creativity and great passing. In that respect I think we can aim higher. As you say, he makes a great centre with kick options, but not for the money he would be asking.
