So apparently he's re-signed with Parra and officially ended the longest and most intense negotiations over a slightly above average player ever.
It makes me sick to say it but Parra are in the right here and his behaviour is making me a bit wary of Manly signing him.
It is absolutely fine to chase cash brcause these guys have a limited shelf life but the media appearances and constant Chinese whispers swirling around are concerning
I think Des could reign him in but this is some massive ego tripping ATM and I worry about that kind of stuff on team harmony if it continues.
I have to admit I am enjoying the delicious irony involving Parra fans here. Last year Mitchell Moses had an offer of $900K on the table for nine months and he and his agent strung the Tigers along for that entire time, negotiating through the media, Cleary did the right thing and pulled the offer to prioritise keeping Teddy
Hey?
Most Eels fans were with the club, so not sure where the idea of irony comes from. In fact most would have been happy for Gutho to walk to the (phantom) 800k offer from Manly. He's good, he's not that good.
Also Moses was in the second year of a contract with Parra last year...
I actually didnt mean to post most of that. I went to write that post the other day and halfway through CBF. Seems that it keeps a draft ready to go. I only meant to post the second part.
But FWIW, the irony part was about a lot of Parra fans saying about Moses that the mean Tigers pulled the offer on poor Moses and he just wanted to be loved. Truth was his scumbag manager played it out in the media for 9 months before singing with Parra and then Tigers pulled it.
but like I said, CBF posting it the first time and wish I hadnt the second time.
nrl.com said:A commitment from the Parramatta Eels to upgrade Clint Gutherson’s 2019 contract was the sweetener that helped seal the skipper’s three-year extension overnight.
NRL.com understands the Eels have decided to bump up Gutherson’s current deal, using the money they haven’t spent in this year’s salary cap to reward Gutherson for his strong start to the year.
smh last week against melbourne he made darius boyd look like clive churchill ffs
Well that's that drama over. Time for Kent and the media cronies to move on to bigging up the next none story.
