Ah well.. I'm a little dissapointed though. I wonder who we will target now. Some are saying aitken is already a done deal

Good! Yes, he played a good game today, and scored an amazing try, but we don't need to outlay that sort of coin on him. Save it to upgrade our youngsters.

From another journo following this:
Just spoke to Clint Gutherson in the Parra sheds.
He has denied that he has signed an extension with the Eels, as per report on Matty Johns Show.

Would I like Gutho to sign with us ? Yeah.....wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.
Would I pay 750K ? Nope.
Would I sign him at the expense of some of the young brigade coming through ? Not a chance.
Re-sign Fainu before you do anything else. Then I'd be giving Jake and Tom long deals.

Walker is going. Cap fine ends.If we are chasing him they obviously think they have the money and I don’t think Des and Gorman don’t know how good these kids like Schuster etc are. Des spoke about it openly on Fox a couple of weeks ago.
We can win a premiership with him and DCE. We won’t with DCE and Kane /Croker as well as they have stepped up this year. No brainer in my book but if they let him go they are insane.

I don't understand why the Eels would low ball him. They have nothing without him...
My hate for the Eels has coloured my perspective on Gutherson, especially given he is Dalai's pet, but I have to hand it to him, he is very effective. He seems to read the play really well. You don't see too many footballers running straight through from dummy half to score 70m tries...he's done it twice in three weeks. He looks awkward ball playing (probably because he is rangy) but it seems to work...that was a nicely timed pass to Sivo into space for a try today and he can throw a good cut out pass to an unmarked player. He is making it hard for me to justify the overrated tag I slapped on him earlier in the year.

Nothing wrong with that. It’s a funny game our game.Can easily catch you out. To make it to first grade a decent basic amount of talent needs to be there to reach that level for a start.After that it comes down to personal discipline , environment and coaching.
A player one doesn’t rate can suddenly improve if he finds himself in the right environment. Parker is a good example. I had him pegged as a gutsy reserve grader.
He’s no star and never will be but he has found himself in the right headspace, in a familiar position and is a competent first grader right now.Absolutely nothing in his previous 30 or so games suggested the form Des has got out of him.At times he looked like a rabbit in the headlights and totally out of his depth.Its a credit to him and to Des for finding the key to his improvement.
Clint has steadily flourished as a leader at a place where he is the man, as opposed to being in the shadow of Tommy and battling constant injury.I always rated him but he’s exceeded my expectations by a fair way.
If he comes back he won’t be in anyone’s shadow Would love to see him and DCE go around.
To be honest getting a Manly player wrong in terms of judging his ability is good news. Means another valuable addition to the team and that’s all any fan wants.

Wouldn’t be out of place. I believe Cam Murray or the young roosters hit man are the favourites.

He’s re-signed another 3 year deal at parra just mentioned on matty johns show.
This has been refuted apparently, see posts on previous page
