Round 2 Vs Bulldogs [THE MATT BURTON CUP]- Bankwest Stadium 3pm Sat

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I've seen the end result of death via train, I seen it twice. It is confronting. I feel for all of the witnesses, the train driver, his crew, the passengers, the emergency personnel, the victim, and his loved ones. All are going to need on going support. This applies especially to the train driver, the young fella's friends, and family.

I think the Panther on the prowl folk would be deeply upset about it. Hopefully they can reach out to those emotionally claimed by it.

School and the social for a lot of young people sucks.

So now we've been going through all the drama a while and it's turned up to 11 with the game this week all the arguments = Panthers must weaken themselves or they are evil. I've read comments today saying players are owed a starting spot if they are our juniors but not other clubs juniors and we should use lesser quality players to advantage other teams.

I wonder who Gus is referring too when he refers to the kids coming thru, our embarrassment of riches who we haven’t seen yet.

I like Gus but he's being biased here on multiple levels.

I'm also over people referring to professional rugby league as if it has some kind of emotional baggage attached. It's a job they earn more money than most people in the country so they can shut up and do their job.

The SG ball hooker and half loook really good. Ryley something and Connor mason. The Harold Matt’s teams has won 5 in a row so they are travelling well. Really there’s no reason our junior squads shouldn’t be full of talent we have invested heavily in this area since Gus took over.

If James Kent or Paul Hooper mention Matt Burton in a mirror five times does he get released to Canterbury?

Yep Burton’s on 120k minimum, probably a bit more. Playing reserve grade is not going to hurt him.

For context I'm on just under $50k haha

In fairness to Gus he has always been about looking after the players interests first and foremost, he demonstrated that time and time again during his most recent tenure with us.

There is no doubt it is in Burton’s best interest to be granted a release early to join the Bulldogs.

It is not in our clubs best interests and we are entirely entitled to hang onto to him as first choice cover for either Cleary or Luai should one or both incur injuries or are selected for SOO.

Yep most people fall well short of 120k it’s a huge wage for a 21yo. The idea we are hurting him is crazy.

Harold Matts are flying.
SG Ball has some talent ( well most of the good players are playing higher grades)

But you don't look good in headgear as Burton does

 

[betcats]

The fact is with Burton showing up and doing everything he should for Penrith the dogs have no leverage at all to get us to release him hence the desperate crap coming out of certain parts of the media, it’s really the only way they can apply pressure to us.

Puru in Flegg is Ball aged too. The well isn't drying up atleast

Brandy already said, there's no pressure
They need to just come up with a better swap, if they really want him

Which is why the moral argument is coming out. They don't have a logical or business argument.
