Must be!

Apparently our U16 cubs played the Titans yesterday up the north coast which they have for the past few years at this time of year. Any story or post from the club … No! 🤬

Just saw a post from Stephen Isdale that we lost 28-32 with son Iszak man of the match. Very talented young fullback!

C’mon WT including our new Comms Director, you can do better!

Christ mate …I ain’t reading all that …

all I know is Melbourne win about as many games in 1 year as we do in 3..

But this is a discussion about whether we spend our remaining money on Burton …

Exactly right about Melbourne Storm winning many more games than us each season and that is why I’ve made our player comparison with them.
In summary Melbourne Storm and the other top quality teams in the NRL are top quality teams because their top tier players are far superior to ours.
Many of our fans keep clutching at straws wanting to blame the likes of Alex Twal and Alex Seyfarth for us not being a top 8 team, this is so far off the mark it’s not funny.

Can we afford Burton or not with the current cap situation ? The original comment I responded to also wants to play him at 13… according to you we can’t have our general play kicker playing that position …

I’ll say this again …I don’t believe Sayfarth belongs in our Top 17…. But he is still in that situation if they don’t add to the squad …Twal is fine …improved out of sight this year …

I’ll say it again, yes it would be nice to have a better quality player than Seyfarth in our top 17, but he is not the reason we are not making the top 8.
Put him on the bench for any of the 5 teams currently still alive in the 2025 competition and they would still be in the same position they are now.
I’m not sure where the Matt Burton question comes from, but one things for certain, he won’t be happy playing centre for too long, so whoever potentially signs him from the Bulldogs would have to do so with plans to play him as their 5/8.
If he leaves the Bulldogs I would say it will be to the Perth Bears.

There are probably several reasons …but I don’t think he helps much either … he gets dominated on both sides of the ball …opposition teams pick out the weakest players to exploit… like what happens when Naden and Toa are playing poorly …

The question comes from people in the thread specualting that the Tigers should sign him…it seems you don’t have an opinion on that which is unusual…

I can see him with Perth in 2027 as well…but that means he might be elsewhere in 2026…I don’t think the Bulldogs want him next year and might need his money freed up to spend elsewhere

This place has descended into fairyland again.

It might be fun to speculate about star players under contract coming to our destination club to play in their non-preferred position but it’s just a dream.

Ha, I don't know mate, maybe we could put 10kg of muscle on Burton over the summer and turn him from a 5/8 into to a beast of a prop, can you dig it, I'm sure he's busting his arse to get over here.
