This is an opinion based forum, in case that concept is lost on you. If he had waited, then a bigger offer could have come along, with a more successful club. He is only 21 years of age for crying out loud.
He could have also suffered a season ending injury, fell out of form or just didn’t kick on like a significant number of prospects. There is as much chance of failure as there is success for a young half in the NRL. You take what you can.
He took a deal based on what was best for his career. If he thought that his best place was here, I’m sure he’d have stayed but he didn’t.
We all need to move on from Burton leaving. He’s not the first and won’t be the last.
