The Guthersation

[Scorpio]

It is a difficult choice because we have Croker, Elgey, Metcalf (out for 2019 with injury), Cust and Schuster as potential 5/8 material next year.

Obviously if we sign Gutherson we will lose out on some of these players, either through salary cap restraints or because their best opportunity will lay elsewhere.

Gutho would be good to have back, but the question is at what cost?

Someone should give him what he wants to play where he wants.

Maybe I'm old school but I quite like the coach picking the team not players.

Except for last week... you didn’t like Dessie picking Croker... not one little bit.

If we sign Gutho to play 5/8 I imagine Croker will go along with Hodko

Elgey would be first back up, for next year then who knows as Cust and Metcalf push through.

Schuster could taste grade next year but remember he is only 18. Also he may end up at 5/8 but I also remember him playing backrow.......maybe the next Gift/Kosef

The good thing about Guth is he is flexible.....so if Schuster or Cust absolutely burst through then he could play centre

 

[manlyfan76]

I count 8 teams in the comp who could use a fullback of his quality (Bunnies, Storm, Eels, Dragons, Tigers, Cowboys, Titans and Panfers). Someone should give him what he wants to play where he wants.

Broncos.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

What if, deep down he wants to play prop?

After that little shimmy yesterday perhaps he wants to play lead cheerleader?

Gutho is a real character on and off the field.

Parra should make him their million dollar man

He’s the man,
The one million dollar man,
Catch him if you can, Love him if you can,
Because he’s the man,
The one million dollar man!

Funny, my wife and I were discussing Steve Austin just last night.

Gutho's big drawback is the fact that he has had two ACL's on the same knee

He is a high risk of another ACL which would most likely finish his career and see him end up like Nick Kosef

Don't forget Thommo will be gone at the end of this season how much is he on $500 thous a season I think ??..
Can anyone confirm how much he gets. Whatever it is it will be freed up for next season..

 

[Shoe1]

Gutho and Eels boss denied he has signed and is still in discussions.

Have they denied signing with manly?

 

[Eagles2nv]

Have they denied signing with manly?

No, but "in discussions" would imply he is still fair game

Bit different, a dribbler like me on a forum picking a team to a player demanding a position. I'm sure Toovey hated putting his head in a scrum and considered himself a halfback but did what the coach asked.

I agree with Des.....he is too expensive for us. Sign up the kids coming through.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

After that try celebration do we really want him back?
Unless it was code... maybe he was surfing? Cant do that in parra river

[swoop]

Which is ironoc because he WAS the young guy coming throuh.

Vert ironic but he's going to cost too much now.

 

[anthonyb1965]

I wish the eels would hurry up and sign him so this thread can die.
