Burns facing pivotal decision on futureManly Sea EaglesJason Avedissian 09May07 OFF-contract Manly five-eighth Travis Burns says his future at the Sea Eagles should be settled by the end of the month. The popular 22-year-old returned to Manly's squad yesterday for Friday night's clash with Parramatta at Brookvale Oval after serving a two-match suspension for a dangerous throw. Burns was named on the bench, with the in-form Michael Monaghan picked at five-eighth. Clint Halden dropped out of the squad after suffering a calf injury in the victory over the Raiders on Sunday. Burns yesterday revealed there are other clubs chasing his services for 2008 and beyond. ``There are a few options out there,'' the Queenslander said. ``I've got to sit down with my manager (George Mimis) and find out what's the best path for me and make a decision which is best for my career. ``Manly have been great to me and I love the club and all the boys. ``But it's a decision I've got to make for myself. ``I'll weigh up a few options in the next couple of weeks. ``I'm not worried about it at the moment and just want to keep playing well for Manly.'' Burns said watching from the sidelines over the past two weeks had been difficult. ``It's been pretty tough watching the boys, but I couldn't do anything about it,'' he said. ``I've been training with the boys since I've been suspended and it was hard to sit on the sidelines. ``We'd won six in a row and it's just one of those things that happens in footy.'' Burns was banned for two weeks after being charged with a grade one dangerous throw during Manly's win over the Gold Coast last month. The NRL will hold a player forum at the Crown Plaza in Coogee this morning between David Gallop, RLPA president Matt Rodwell, players and club officials.

I certainly hope so. We need his attitude/passion at the club. |
