The problem for mine, apart from his lack of speed, is that he tries to do all that from fullback. As a one off trickshot per game, fine. But trying to be everything all of the time and it affecting his role as FB is detrimental to his game IMO.

Well most of those are part of the fullbacks role...

Guth is looking real uncomfortable getting peppered with questions on League Life...
You could see him starting to wipe the sweat from his brows and his forehead looked like it just had a bath...in summary doesn't believe there has been a formal offer from Moanly, intimated waiting for one but ultimately leaving it all up to Sam...Sam's been doing a good job of it so far...

Sam is a f**kwit and I hate to see anyone who is not a rapist, murderer or pedo sweat so I do feel sorry for him in that regard.

In all them places I suppose. But, when there is a turnover or an early kick from the opposition, i have noticed in our games this year (that I've seen) that a lot of times there's no one home.

Well there often isn't. The fullback has a role in attack, he doesn't just sit back behind the line and wait for a possible turnover.

He's also usually closer to the line on early tackles to better marshal the line and cover line breaks.

Yeah, he covered a lot of line breaks on Saturday, didn't he?

That's a hineyrulzism.

Just because he is there for it, doesn't mean he stops it. I'm simply pointing out why the fullback isn't normally waaaaaay back for a long kick early in the count.

I never said he should be waaaaaay back early in the count. Hineyrulz is entitled to his opinion. Maybe I'm blaming the wrong person. It's just dawned on me that if the people who's job it is to do the shit that Gutho feels he has to do as extras, can't do their job, then they should be the merkins who can f**k right off.
Give him $800 000 x 4yrs I say!

Based on what?

Based on fact everyone gets better with experience. It's not like players hate him and he is a brilliant tactician. Players seem to love him he just lacks tactics some better coaches do. So I am sure he has learned. I reckon he learnt from 2018 he can never had small wingers. So he bought 2 new ones. I also reckon he learnt you need a few big bodies in the pack. Hence Lane and Jnr.
The guy is not completely hopeless. If anything he has been a little to loyal and nice. Needs to be more of a merkin. And he will. And with Potter to help in attack he doesn't need to be a tactical genius.

At the end of day there are 15 other clubs and all their fans expect a top 4 finish and finals within a few years or after a rebuild period. Reality is unless you produce a superstar and have huge tpas your just the same chance as the other 15 who have the same hopes.

And the other 13 that don't make the top 4.
