Nah Dragons probably
Not sure I didn’t see him in his juniors, at rep junior level HM, SG he was a running six played 7 a couple times for Workers in Cup. I see he has the straightness of a 7 but lacks the place kicking and strategist of a general.
That will all develop with time though for now we also will have Doueihi at 13 to help
Burtons boot has kept the dogs in many games this year. Converting tries is not the only stat that counts in the halves.

Well, Faataaapaaaey and Charlie Murray are great reserve graders, so yeah, there's that. But all snickerty aside, we have the biggest playground in the entire Sydney area, and I guess that's where the focus is going to be.
Richo has said a few times ,there will be approx 2 players stealing wages over out put
Klemmer gone Hunt on minimal Bateman ?
The equation is ok to push / move Bird n Hunt on and set a standard

And the Elephant in the room for me is his Voice - he is Brooks-like when it comes to being the guy who can call the plays - too quiet!

A lot of discussion about Burton on this forum. We have any number of very good players who would know Burton and be able to advise Marshall and Richardson about him and his value to our team.

No he isnt at all. As a 20 year old islander his voice is above and beyond most. I see him talking and ordering constantly out there

No thanks to Burton. Not in a position of need for us and the $$$ he would want would be high. He would have no place in our team. Might look good running around for Wests in NSW Cup.
We have 2 left centres already that are absolute talents in Taylan (who is already a gun at NRL level) and Masi (who is elite for his age and is only going to get better).
In the halves, I am not replacing Luai or Latu with him. AD, Andrews and Madden also on our books gives us plenty of options.
If Burton leaves Dogs, Perth will be calling his name.

Ryan Matterson on his way back to Parra , when he was with us I thought of memory he was very good and money was an issue not his ability , I would see if Parra want to move him on and pay a bit to do so , he is a good lock option and always runs hard and tackles hard , if cheap after Parra tip in I would look at it , leaves AD at 7 and Latu when fit at 14 or reserve grade to learn more as he progresses

Canterbury moving on Burton and apparently looking to sign Brimson or Kini…. Two guys I like a lot …
They are always looking to work that squad to improve… you simply cannot rest on your laurels …
Unfortunately our unwanted guys are hard to move on …

Well … that will help … although we know existing contracts on players coming or going is never an insurmountable problem for Gould
I'm led to beleive that part of us taking on bird is that the dragons are paying a large chunk of his contract.
And you need to remember that hunt was going to retire so getting 300k a year vs no income was appealing - definitely nowhere near 600k..
Maybe someone closer to the situation can chime in and let us know
Our unwanted guys are players who should be playing KOE... their unwanted guys are nrl players..
I'm sure if we go back two years the dogs were in the same boat

No exgirlfirends. Especially ones that are selfish lovers.
Pawa would love to get rid of him.
I used to know his uncles, met the footballer once or twice maybe, but had the other, his Dad I think, in my black book, we used to get up to trouble, before the days of mobile phones. Uncle BF played with the footballer as kids, until Tez got a contract and Uncle BF got a second shoulder reco. Terry ripped one of his fingers off as coach in Pomlandia. He was jumping the fence to get a ball and his wedding ring got caught on the fence and it was that bad they cut it off, from memory.
His uncles were good blokes to have a beer with and we were pretty keen on Ryan at the Tigers, but not anymore.
