Burton 6
Tracey 4

Is better than the opposite way though. I still think Burton can be a great 6, he's just killed his development moving to a **** side to be the guy before he was ready.

Throw him in the 6 at Penrith and everyone would be frothing on him.

 

[bort]

At the detriment to their spine.

Leaves them potentially running:

1. Taafe
6. Tracey/oloapu
7. Sexton

Doesn't matter how good your edges are if no one can get them the ball.

Karl is out, potentially for year

 

[Gumby]

They got Drew Hutchinson also.

 

[Proud Shark]

They got Drew Hutchinson also.

True, but I'd say a hutch/Sexton halves combo is equally uninspired.

All you need to see is how Mahoney went from looking like a top tier hooker to a bottom tier one. Dogs had no go forward and no platform to play off.
He didn't magically become **** and Burton isn't either.

Read something about him trying to avoid surgery the other day, not exactly sure how that'd work.

I thought surgery was the only thing that would allow him to play again?

 

[Sevshark]

That's what I thought as well but it was a tweet from Gus that said he was weighinghis options

 

[Wiz]

All in for a player that is like a 3rd choice fullback?

FB spot is Crichtons

Tracey will be their fullback

Crichton is their centre

 

[Gumby]

Has Tracey signed with the dogs? Last I heard we weren’t releasing him this year.

 

[Sparkles]

Tracey will be their fullback

Crichton is their centre

I don't eel as sure as everyone else seems to be that Tracey will be fullback. Why wouldn't he slot into the centres?

I see what you’ve done there with the Eels mate ….

Few rumours around we want a promising junior from them, similar to Bradbury deal.

Gus might put up more of a fight but feel like they’re more interested in getting him than we are releasing him

trust me lad

Crichton and Xerri will be their centres and Tracey to fullback when it’s done

Yeah we have no motivation besides being g nice to him to release him.
Weakens us and strengthen opponents.

What have bulldogs/gould ever done for us?
Chipped in towards Woods? They wanted him out

You want him, make it worth our while

Finally! I’d be asking for them what we need. A middle forward. They don’t really have anyone that would strengthen us there. So therefore **** em. We keep Tracey.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Does it weaken us that much if we let him go?

 

[Gumby]

Does it weaken us that much if we let him go?

If dykes and Kennedy go down again yeah. If they stay healthy we’ll be fine I believe.
Surely Iro is next in line to play centre. Tracey down to our 2nd3/red back up in the backs behind Dykes, Iro

 

[Capital_Shark]

Does it weaken us that much if we let him go?

We'd have been ****ed without him this season.

 

[bort]

Does it weaken us that much if we let him go?

If we don’t get many injuries, no

Bit of a ‘rather have him and not need him’ situation.

Could throw all your decent depth pieces away thinking does it weaken us that much…

If dykes and Kennedy go down again yeah. If they stay healthy we’ll be fine I believe.

we don’t know if Dykes will do any training for fullback. He might, especially if Tracey was to leave. He might be focused on 5/8 though.

Tracey might be 2nd choice right centre. If not second choice left at least Iro would have to be extremely close (talking as though Talakai unchanged of course). I’ve never seen Iro play right I don’t think.

 

[bort]

We'd have been ****ed without him this season.

That’s only with the benefit of hindsight - might not need that next year, not worth worrying about
