Gould confirmed the news on social media on Friday evening, with Burton\u2019s value to be determined by where clubs think he is best suited.<\/p>\n
Burton was the 2021 Dally M Centre of the Year but has predominantly played in the halves at the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

He was switched to the centres late in the season with Stephen Crichton partnering Lachlan Galvin, and the halves conundrum is something the Bulldogs must solve in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Talented youngsters Alex Conti and Mitch Woods are in the mix, with the latter desperate to stay injury free after a number of hamstring issues.<\/p>\n
The Bears and the Eels had been linked with Burton for months, while the PNG Chiefs will naturally be linked to anyone on the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatt\u2019s manager has requested permission to test the market,\u201d Gould tweeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBulldogs at all times retain last rights. It\u2019s a good way for both Matt and the Bulldogs to gauge his true value. It will give both parties more information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould has confirmed Matt Burton is free to test his value on the open market…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":938561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-938560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=938560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/938561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=938560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=938560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=938560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
