Finals fever fires the rumour mill

DON'T hurt our Burt and dont knock the rock.
True Parramatta believers might do a Parramatta Stadium re-enactment of the Cumberland Oval grandstand burning if the Eels let Luke Burt go.
The local product, the little big man, the little bloke . . . everyone loves Burt.
No, no, no, Parramatta chief executive Paul Osborne said of media speculation Burt could be released early from his contract, which expires at the end of next season.
Hes playing well, isnt he? Hell be here next season and the way he's playing, he'll be here even longer, he said of the 20-points-a-game man.
Parramattas hot run to the finals not only has their fans in a fever but also has the media in a frenzy of speculation.
Jarryd Hayne is now supposedly the $4 million man.
Osborne laughed at that one and was relaxed about the pressure of expectations on Hayne; pressure like Andrew Johns saying the fullback could ultimately be the best player of all time.
It doesnt seem to be affecting him, said a confident Osborne.
Hell be here for a long, long time.
Thats what he said, too, of Daniel Mortimer, a player the world will want when, like Hayne, his contract expires at the end of next season.
The same can be said of rock-and-rolling coach Daniel Anderson, if the success continues.
But whats with the haircut? Anderson looks like he could be a 50s teddy boy.
We are half expecting him to walk to the coachs' box in a leather jacket, stovepipe jeans and winklepicker shoes while listening to a Gene Vincent record.
Rock'n'roll, daddy-o.
