Napa is an older and not so dumber version of Hetherington. With the porn.

We are much stronger with Burton in our top 30 than out of it. We are playing for a premiership. We don't have to do the right thing and be nice. The majority of the Dog's side is rubbish. Any player they want to force on us will be low quality or someone past it.
I wouldn't bend to their or Burton's agents' demands.
It would be much better if he stays and learns off 2 quality halves here for another year rather than be thrown into the frying pan at the Bulldogs.

It’s bound to happen when managers make waves like this.

When it’s printed in the media, people are going to believe it.

Exactly right, people seem to not be able to help themselves than to have knee jerk reactions to these articles like they are all 100% factual.

Im not saying i believe it but its certainly possible he is a young guy, competing with just Naden for a starting for the centre spot is a lot more attractive then competing with Naden and Momirovski, if there is any truth to it I dont think we get much value out of forcing him to stay. It depends how much he really wants out, if his manager is just bullshitting then sure we are better off holding onto him most likely but if he genuinely wants to go to the dogs now i;d be looking to get something for him cause if a guy doesnt want to be here they are not going to be playing good footy.

That is why you don't believe the press. He might phone in NSW Cup performances but in the top grade he will put in 100%

IF he is phoning it in he wont get anywhere near the NRL side and he wont be worth anything to us. I dont think he would do that but if it gets to that situation we are the losers, we pay a guy to phone it in and then leaves without us getting anything.

Hmm, disagree on Burton being better off staying here. Nothing is as good as genuine experience, and Burton hardly played any footy last year as it is. He’d learn a lot more playing in FG than at training with us, and if there’s another Covid outbreak he’s risking no footy at all this year.

I hardly watched the bulldogs last year, but looking at Napa’s stats it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

Running the ball is a weakness, he only gets slightly over 8m per run. The better props are around 9m. On the plus side his errors a very low, only. 3 last season.

In defence though he seems pretty good, decent tackle efficiency.

I’m a little surprised the Bulldgos would turn down the Napa for Burton trade, having Burton play a full season at 6 would seem like a big benefit.

Would be the contract amount I say. Maybe we want him on very small deal. They want us to pay more. Will come down to how much they want Burton

The dogs have been too busy buying backs. Their forward depth is terrible. One Prop is suspended for 4 weeks. Napa and Hetherington are their best two props. They couldn’t possibly release Napa, no matter how crap he is these days.

Just put him in Flegg to prove a point. Players have too much power in these situations

Sure, but they’re not winning anything this year. For the long term it’d be better for them to get Burton in playing FG.

This article has changed the Burton situation for me. " Ivan was allowed to break his contract with the Wests Tigers so I thought he might have some understanding here."
Hopefully we take everything off the table and flip laundy the bird.
Its all bullshit, i don't think we need Napa, his name has been thrown around as soon as lauire swap was finalised, another Hate piece from the legendary f**kWIT hooper
