Weidler started by saying a couple of clubs we’re looking at Burton, Weidler had spoken to Burtons manager who wants Burton to stay at Penrith as he’s learning a lot from the coaching staff and Nathan, Gus made a few comments saying he saw Burton as a Wade Graham type player who would end up as an edge second rower, Gus also felt Burton should stay as he believes we’re building something special, all the coaching staff need to do is sit Burton down and define a role for him ie the 14 jersey as a subWhat did he say?
He talked about Cleary and Luai playing together since they were 16, then Burton appears on the scene.What did he say?

Said edge backrower in about 5 years time, when he gets that over 20 body that people getThat’s weird Gus saying he’ll be an edge back rower. Just a few months ago he was saying Burton would be the best half out of Cleary, Luai & himself.
Burton has better hands than Graham ever did, better kicking too. I think he could be a back rower if he added the bulk, but he could also be a half if he wants, or even fullback. I think it’d be a shame to not see what he can do in the halves before switching to the back row.

That is what I said at the time. Gus signed Luai and Cleary long term yet somehow Burton is now the better half

Burton hasn’t been with the club for long, and when he came he was a winger. I’d say it was too early for him to make a good judgment on Burton at the time.
The change is likely due to the fact we can all see Luai/Cleary are the preferred halves regardless of Burton's talent. If you want to fit him in it has to be in another position now.

How many halves do you see Burton's size? So was too soon to say either way
Possible, but it only takes a medium term injury to Luai for Burton to force his way in. Luai isn’t established enough that he’d automatically hold the position. (Although he’s played very well this season, even exceeded my expectations and I’m a fan)
He was selected in that position for several games but the coach didn't have the faith in him to bring him on. Meanwhile May has owned the 14 position, slotting in well at centre, backrow and dummy half. I'm kinda thinking that as good as Burton could become, he might be surplus to requirements, especially with all the interest from elsewhere forcing his price up.ie the 14 jersey as a sub
