At best Morgan is better than a backup, but I agree Gutherson has more talent. As soon as he is deemed able to defend at NRL level he will walk into the side.
At best??? When has he ever been at his best??? Don't tell me he has hit his ceiling already??? I was waiting for his breakout year in 2019 when he really shows us what he can do.

Some crap

When driverless cars are eventually allowed on tje Road, if it gets in an accident and kills somebody and you're the owner, are you liable?

Good question. If it malfunctions then maybe the manufacturer. If it malfunctions but you haven't kept maintenance and servicing up to date then you'll probably be in the shit.

Kaysa when fully fit is a better value hooker than Peats.

Kaysa was dynamic in that game against Melbourne when he eventually went down with the injury that cut short his season- was easily the best game he's played in the top grade. That was the same game Peats thought he'd done his ACL again... I remember when Andy Raymond on the sideline reported Peats thought he'd done his ACL I was pretty gutted but then the way Kaysa played that night I thought if Pritchard can keep this up we won't lose much, if anything, if he get the 9 long term...

Hoping his injury problems are behind him now and he can finally fulfil that potential in the top grade

agreed .... I've thought the extremely limited time kaysa has played NRL he has been great

he was enormous in that game (against NZ, not melbourne) last year when he got injured

people always said he was a worry in NRL cos he was too small and his defense was suss ... but I reckon he hits harder than most - never seen any evidence of suss defence at NRL level (tho as we all know too well, small sample size)

I agree - I'm a big fan.

He does hit hard for a small bloke, and he has great technique.

Did he get injured twice?
He definitely did his pec in the last tackle of our win against Melbourne.

Yep against Melbourne he did his pec. Hope he can stay fit has some class about him. Keep off the sleeping tablets as well or at least fill his piss cup with his own

Are we really looking at Gutherson as a fringe guy?

We have been playing a fringe guy for years due to injuries, surely as highly touted a player as Gutherson comes in as a first choice option? Morgan is a backup at best. Gutherson is an Origin player at best. Lets hope we get the best out of him!!

i haven't seen enough of him of judge.

it fills me with delight you guys praise him this much. maybe finals appearance isn't too big a stretch in 2016.

haha ... i'm a dill .... i could have sworn it was NZ .... but yeah it was f**kin melbourne hey :crazy:

He got in injured at the Auckland Nines this year as well. IMO they are held in NZ.

Just my opinion of course. I don't have any source for this.

He really isn't that small, his is 88kg. Farrah is the same weight / smith is only 92kg.

I also agree he has more potential than peats. Has a better running game.

Wouldnt surprise if we go all out to keep Norman but not peats (still make offer but not compete with other clubs) if he stays fit.

Finals should be very possible, considering we were only 3 wins away this year and who we have added to the squad.

Hayne >>> Eels. 3 1/2 year deal from June 2016. I'm calling it.

Inside source or gut feeling ?

If it did happen he would be pretty useless for 2016 as his fitness levels would be f**ked coming back mid season. NFL do no where near the fitness training NRL does. He would struggle big time and maybe would be a winger at best.
