Matt Burton's future with Bulldogs uncertain as Dragons express interest

Matt Burton's contract situation with the Canterbury Bulldogs remains unresolved, leading to interest from the St George Illawarra Dragons. Reports indicate that the Dragons are monitoring Burton's status closely, particularly as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2028 season. Having made several high-profile signings, including Kodi Nikorima and Luke Metcalf, the Dragons may target Burton to enhance their playmaking options. With Burton's recent move to the centres, his future role at St George, if signed, could be at centre rather than in the halves. The Bulldogs have shifted their focus towards Stephen Crichton and Lachlan Galvin as their primary halves pairing for the remainder of the year.
