Why are we paying Walker 650k for his 10 odd games a year?
My expertise stops at the pronunciation. After that it’s the chicken or egg dilemma.

As much as I hate to admit it but I cant see Gutho in Sea Eagles colours again, I hope I am wrong. But we have another Bennett and Boyd situation over there with him and Arthur , he loves Arthur and Arthur loves him and he is Captain as well . They hold him in high regards over there, so I cant see him coming home anytime soon. He is very important to them
Yes he does love Arthur and he has won a wooden spoon with Arthur

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Arthur, Moses and Arthur are all unsigned for next year.

Tom's on $900000 and Jakes on $700000 according to Zero tackle. Not sure what Kapow is on though..

He was brought in as a 5/8 originally wasn’t he? If so thats probably why
I’m pretty sure it’s reasonable to think he’d be around 800K, think it started a bit lower but has increased a little on a back ended contract

IIRC his contract is 600 or 650k per season and yes it started lower and this year it is costing 850k.

Of course there is the old game played by clubs trying to make opposition clubs use up their salary cap but bidding for their players and upping their price. But Des wouldn't stoop so low...would he?
They all do it. It’s a 2 edge sward with the player magager driving price up as well. Clubs will play along to absorb opposition cap space.

Walker was brought in as a centre, but Killer was reluctant to move back to 5/8 because he still wanted to play centre.
That was unfortunately one theme of Killer's career.....reluctance. He was a reluctant 5/8, reluctant goal kicker and a reluctant rep player. Yet he was one of the best at all three as well as being the best centre in rugby league during his time.
Edit: just about the only thing he wasn't reluctant with, other than playing centre, was being Manly captain. He seemed to thrive on that. Like Freddy Jones, Bozo, Thrower, Fatty and Tooves before him, he was a natural leader.

Just on Gutho.....I have to totally agree with @master blaster in that I think we've seen the last of him in a Manly jumper, unfortunately.
Pity, I know he wants to play fullback and its probably his best position, but I honestly think he would make a great centre and lord knows we need a good one.

We can’t pay gutho fullback money obviously but we need a 5/8

I’d kill for a killer 2.0

He left
I liked the kid but he left
Serious though
My opinion is that if he was to come back it would be on big money and the assumed right to be a regular 1st grader no matter how well he plays or doesn’t play which takes the edge of competition
Some of our youngsters that are now hungry & competing their asses off at the beginning of their careers represents more value
I Don’t think he is a dud but these kids coming though will thrive on the competitive environment that i think Des is trying to create
Let him be the parra saviour
Get the cash from them and allow his career to bevjudged on his decision to okay in blue and gold
