The Kurt Mann of a season or 2 back would have been absolutely perfect, not sure if he will be capable of playing anywhere near his best due to his age in 2027.
I think most Wests Tigers supporters agree we ideally need Twal back playing prop and need to find a good 13.

What do you think of Burton at 13?

8. May
9. Brailey
10.Twal
11.KPP
12.Fainu
13.Burton

14.Api
15.Sione
16.Pole

Seyfarth, Hunt, Bunty, Sukkar and Roberts depth.

If Salmon can play a role as an NRL 13 then I think Burton can. Be nice to have his long boot as well to take pressure off our 7, whoever that may be.
Im bringing Api off the bench next year for that sharp impact around the ruck and to take some load off him

No doubt that Matt Burton has the game, the size, strength, speed and skill to be an exceptionally good 13 if he wanted to, but similar to Doueihi, I get the feeling he would not be open to it.

I would swap AD for Burton. I don't know why players who have the size wouldnt want to a ball playing lock.
