Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Jane Murray]

Burton will go. Plenty of teams will throw crazy money at him

I hope not.

 

[franklin2323]

I hope not.

You can't keep them all. Too many ordinary teams that have stupid money to burn

 

[Blues Riff]

None of those lads will be thinking about all that shit at the moment. It's a different ball game. Some teams are crumbling.
Look at the victory song. It's all inclusive this season. Staff, injured players, reserves all part of the success.
Whatever needs to be done, we seem to be doing. Long way to go yet. Everyone will get a shot.

Edit - hoping to see young Brian smashing the Esky lid every week.

I realise that. Burton is a bloody good player.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Don't forget who we're playing this week...buzz's sharks. My guess is he's throwing bullets to destabilise the team before we smash his peptide boys.

Good point. The vile fiend usually stirs up trouble when we play the Sharks. Either an attack piece or a dud rumour.

Look at who is locked in so far:

Edwards (24)
To'o (21)
Naden (25)
Crichton (19)
??
Luai (23)
Cleary (23)

So in theory the backline is locked in for the short term.

I hope he stays and presses for the centre spot but I think he will join a few ex team mates at Tigers

I hope not. He was training for the lock position, he is built for that.

Like I said before if he needs Time at training to develop a position outside the halves that's reasonable but the club will regret losing him.

Hopefully the brains trust are working on a deal right now.

From the rumours here it doesn't sound like they are but hope so

 

[ACTPanthers]

God knows how May has leapfrogged Burton... He brings nothing more than Burton so I have no idea why he jumps straight into the side - Maybe being house mates with the coaches son does have its advantages...

I think he has a confidence in May defending in the middle that he doesn't have in Burton.

What rumours? All I’ve read from reputable people is that he is highly rated by the club, The club has its priorities, they might have to move on a player or 2 (Mansour, Whare, Tamou)to have sufficient salary cap room to resign him long term

Young players don't have patience these days. Player managers don't allow it

May came on at lock Sat night. That is a way Burton hasn't before

Yep. Other teams need talent and will come knocking doesn't mean the club doesn't want him

 

[Lukemac]

Mansour out, Edwards to the wing, he is faster and better in the air than sauce. What we may lack in go forward we will make up for in speed and finishing.
Tamou to go, he has been great but we could use the money to keep critta and we have heaps of forwards in Ellis, tetavano, lenui , hetherington, leota, fish etc.
Burton to fullback. He is quick, tall and would be a qenuine threat at the back. We must keep the best players available and find a spot for them. It’s a no brainer. Burton would be a better fullback than Edwards and Edwards a better winger than sauce.

Naden is built for the wing, if Burton wants a permanent spot, centre wil be his if he can wait till Whare moves on

Unfortunately the Edwards to wing experiment was tried early last season when Edwards was having a rough time at full back. It went very badly. Edwards showed that he isn’t a winger.

Tbf during that period he looked like he wasnt an NRL player at all.
