I’m not convinced that Burton fits that list. Sure he can add a 40/20 to swing momentum, but those other 2 are tackle breakers. Burton probably could easily go back to the centres and be as useful as he was and all 3 could potentially make a move to fullback. Burton seems a bit like the Mahoney signing at the bulldogs where it was the best they could get at the time, probably on the higher side salary wise, but now are surplus to requirements

The whole chat was just about the defining factors in those elite top athletes who keep the drive to keep winning long after they have secured their legacy and their financial future. I’m not a Panthers fan as such. But you could just see in that last game it felt like Cleary was going up in levels in the game and putting the team (a good team) on his back. I was just interested in where the drive comes from to dominate when you’ve already proven everything as far as the NRL is concerned. Anyway chat bought up those other dudes as comparisons and what is mentally required to stay at the top for a decade or more. And I have to concede if anyone is gonna grab that ‘generational’ great tag and pull off ‘the impossible’ it’s Cleary & Cleary Ltd.An insight into my convo with Chat at bedtime tonightView attachment 14558
Be interesting to see what type of protection Hughes plays with, the Mal Maninga arm guard comes to mind.
I guess the thing is that the worst he can do is break it again. Till that happens all goods say's Doctor Storm.

Broncos should start Mam and move Hunt to hooker.
The old man duo in the halves was a failure earlier in the season.
Carrigan out is huge too.
Penrith played the best brand of footy you could wish to see last week.
Broncos just gave too many journeyman on the bench.
I keep writing off the Sharks but are they a better team without Toothless McInnes.
Storm are pretty much full strength and if Hughes is ruled out they can play Pezet.
Penrith v Storm final.
