Burt signs on again

[Avenger]

I am not a fan, however I commend him on his loyalty. He could have received bigger money elsewhere.

Lol! Like where?

Souths wouldn't see wingers as their priority- I reckon he's just about maxing up here to be honest.

do you have proof of that???...anyone who thinks Burt is "maxing up" it would have rocks in their head.

I dont mind re-signing burt, He may not be in the top 17, but if injuries arise he'll be handy to have.

 

[Suitman]

I'm disappointed.

Firstly, I'm not a big fan. Solid first grader, nothing more.
But when we are possibly letting players go of the potential of Williams, and keeping dead wood like Burt, it seems that the broom that is sweeping through the place at the moment just isn't wide enough, and there are a few bristles missing in the middle.

i think that luke wouldve either taken a pay cut, or remained on the same money as his last contract tbh. he's just set up a family here and loves the club.

he's not exactly someone i could picture taking the club for all they are worth...

maybe williams is already gone?

 

[Stagger eel]

who knows for certan whether Williams was sacrifised or not, for all we know Williams may have been priority and he couldn't offer him what he may of been offered else where, therefore Luke became the next option.

 

[strider]

no one knows how much he signed for and whether there are any other alternatives available .... so cut the guy some slack for a change .... can't fall back on the old "one of brian's favourites" bashing avenues anymore - obviously someone else seems something in him

 

[True EEL]

this is somehwat of a surprise as he has dropped right off the radar at Parramatta, but apparently Michael Hagan thinks he's ok...?

if he was signed for depth he probably would only have been retained one a one-yaer contract so he may well be in the 07 plans for first grade still

i know this won't be popular (especially with all the 'Hayne-itis' that is going around) but with McKinnon apparently gone - Luke Burt could well be given first shot at fullback as this IMHO is where he plays best

if he could improve his defence, this would be 'his' position definitely as he utilises his running game and support play best from fullback and is ok on the wing and simply isn't a C

Hayne on the other hand, may best be suited to the centres.....now there is a thought!!! he is almost a little small for the wing these days and may also be wasted out there, so (fullback) or centre appear to be his spots

maybe Ben Smith (or delaney) could be moved into the forwards at either lock or second row, i mean he (they) sure has the size for it

or will Hayne even be tried at 5/8 - since we don't have one anymore?

 

[Suitman]

I'm all for trying new things but sorry, Burts defence just isn't good enough in the one on one defensive situation that a fullback so often comes up against.

Been there, done that.

Also his kick returns are very poor. The touch judges are more likely to be taken out than the opposition forwards.

Boom boy Burt...good to see.

[Maroubra Eel]

Good signing for Reserve Grade.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Burt's gotta be on a downgraded contract.

So that leaves us with even more money to spend.

 

[Phillips]

a step in the wrong direction imo

 

[redeel]

what fantastic news .Lets keep all the crap that cant cut it in 1st gr and let the guys who can actually play permission to neg.
Burt should be thankfull Parra thrive on mediocrity, and will continue to do so under another suspect coach in 2007.
The only place for burt is at 5/8, but his kicking in genral play, has never been seen ,so he will just be there to fill the void,and be the speed hump he always was ,is.
WHEN IS THIS GUY GUNNA LIVE UP TO ALL THE HYPE HE HAD WHEN WE DRAGGED HIM FROM THE CRIBB TO PLAY 4 US,ANSWER,NEVERRRRRRRRRRRR
