You’re forgetting that Matterhorn has drawn a line in the sand.
Ooo, I'm scared @:cool:

The Eels do have a strong roster but compared with other sides they have a proliferation of solid talent rather than one or 2 standouts. In particular they have heaps of decent forwards. Their forwards overpower the opposition, then they apply pressure with repeat sets and Moses bombs. That's about it.

Their attack has fallen away alarmingly. It doesn't help that Moses has a sore back, the hooker is out, Papali'i moved to the middle. Manly scored points against Storm with very little ball, we will score more against the Eels and I don't think the Eels can score enough points to beat us.

Sore back big deal - I have a sore back, it doesn't stop me performing.
 
MIGOTY and it really is. This will define where the rest of the season is headed. If our boys are focused and serious about being contenders then a win and top 4 is a must. Lose and we can kiss this year goodbye. No bulksht excuses, no blaming ref fukups or bad luck with errors. This is simply MUST WIN.
 
and Gunt fails to sign a million dollar contract extension
He is not worth a million dollars. He is not in the same class as Turbo & Tedesco, and isn't even at Ponga, Manu & Papenhysen level. Actually I don't even think Gutho is worth what he is getting now, and should just take the Eels current offer. There is no other "good" club that really needs him, that would pay that type of money for him.

I'm sure he knows this. He didn't utter the $1-m price tag. The whole speculation is premature. He's contracted until the end of next season. No club can talk to him until November.
This is a media beat-up. He'll re-sign with Doesn'tmatta eventually. Move on.
