Another typical Many stuff up

He was re-signed as a centre in Apr 15, with the ability to fill in at fullback when Tom wasn’t available. That as we know, is a lot of the time.

This has been covered so many times. Our winning percentage in the intervening years might have been somewhat greater, if Gutherson had been allowed to stay.
I too wish we'd kept him.
No doubt it was to help free up cash for Marty, Api, Walker and co, who were some name signings for the great new coach Barrett in 2016.
In fairness though Gutho hadn't played all year (2015) due to an ACL and it's always a little question mark after that injury.
And while Matai and Snake both fell into disrepair, they'd both played nearly all games in 2015 so that was a bit unlucky.
And Turbo only debuted in 2015, then played nearly every NRL game in 2016, 17 and 18. His awful injury run only really kicked in in 2019.

Maybe we should've kept him, can't say I like the thought of the Gutherino in our colours though.

Seems latu proved most of you wrong with that last performance. Shame for manly that both boys are so loyal to the Fultons who gave them a chance, in the end cannot blame them even though they were our best young talent coming through. Good luck to the three young boys of their pathway ahead.
 
The week before he didnt prove most of us wrong. He played well last week, hasn't been that good overall this year and I've been surprised by Sams drop in form, he was a gun last year.

So when he is consistent, you know, week in week out, then ask us and we may agree with you.
 
Latu is 12 months older than Joey Walsh at 20.
He made is first grade debut last year at age 19. The same age as Joey Walsh is now.
Latu and Samuela are first graders now and will only get better.

They should have been playing for Manly and would be playing first grade for us now.

Except we have Brooks and Waddell for similar total money.

We are a joke.

Oh yeah, & where in your 4 post history did you extol the virtues of Latu Fainu & say the club should have kept him?
