Rumour Clint Gutherson

Would be a very handy pick up just not for us. By all reports a great trainer, price tag will scare most away. Couple clubs would benefit from him though, Raiders be a good fit

Prefacing that this is an extremely loose rumour but have heard from two separate people that we are monitoring Gutho very closely.

Weidler has now tweeted that discussions with Parra are ongoing (still…). Has anyone heard similar?

I heard the same thing we should do a deal with parra swap fox take Gutherson he does have a lot of experience and he scores doubles triples he is a smart player people may not agree yes his knees are strapped so what he would be a great addition to our club older heads who want to win he can catch a ball and knows how to play smart the only thing he gets pissed off at the refs because he is the captain of the club and questions there decisions!!!

Foxx can go
Montoya on the wing
And Tracey can be used several ways
Wilson will stay
GUS has a good cheque book


Either way whoever else joins we will be a massive force trust in the process trust our coaches and management

Was lambasted on here when i mentioned him in a seperate thread.

Im all for it. Ive seen enough poor positioning from Tracey to declare him a non -progress FB.

The only options moving forward are Pappy and Gutho and id take either. Pappy still has acceleration. Gutho probably has better durability.

Both have experience, footy smarts and ball playing ability to improve on Tracey. Gutho probably one of the best 1on 1 defenders which Tracey is not.

Tracey is good he needs to know how to defend better I like Connor Tracey he has done well for us .
Take your pick. Pappy will snap his ankle or knee in a second or maybe the worst of pappy has gone but he is a great player as well… Gutherson is good too stats say everything about those 2 players

You get him for what he's worth since Eel will have to contribute. He's not a big enough upgrade at fullback or centre for us to probably consider tho.

Why do you guys see this as a disadvantage?

Instead of Mahoney doing it and us getting penalised, we have Gutho doing it and we sway the refs in our favour.

Because it’s a Karen thing to do and only players from the Chooks, Melbourne and Parramatta do those things. We weren’t bred that way :tearsofjoy:

Doesn't seem to have worked for Parramatta

I actually think Gutho has been successful at it. He has good rapport with the refs.

Its others that do it that gets on the nerves of refs

Gutho has the best captains challenge strike rate by a long way
 
Purely for the sake of curiosity, would Gutho have stopped Koula as the last line of defence in place of Tracey? I should preface that this point is not a dig at Tracey, several defenders looked amateurish as Koula danced through 4 or 5 defenders - asking because of his ability to position himself well and has the footy IQ behind him… or maybe he struggles due to the inability to cover ground quickly?

I can see someone with NRL leadership & experience coming over, whether that’s Hunt or Gutho remains to be seen. Nov 1 will be super interesting though because there’s 5 or 6 teams with serious coin to spare in the cap.
 
Gus is a calculated genius, if he’s making the decision, whatever it may be, it’s the best for the Club…always. He’s had success everywhere, smart operator and he is the reason where back in the frame… he created our dynamic pathways program, the halves Academy, all our feeder clubs spanning the Eastern Seaboard, NZ and the Pacific, brought over Ciraldo and turned our mindset from Boys to Men by bringing in Experienced NRL talent who immediately set high standards.

whoever we pick up, it’s the right choice if it’s come from Gus.
 
Gutho may have been a good buy for 2024 season but no longer required after a successful 2024. Standards at the club no longer need to be lifted with effort and that is his big strength effort.

What you say is true, but he offers more than that.

He's one of the smartest footy IQ in the game (i have DCE and Cleary up there with him), he's one of the best bomb takers (wet or dry conditions), best 1 on 1 tackler and one of the best Captain challengers in the game. He's also very good at intercepts, dummy half runs and field goals.

Age is certainly getting the better of him, but as he is the complete package, its hard to not believe he would be more than serviceable..
