Eels in the media

Well yeah, the ones who are about 27 are playing to their potential while the ones who are much younger aren't yet. These include spine players Mahoney and Drown.

Some of the older guys aren’t playing to their potential either. I don’t think guys like Waqa Blake, Matterson and Lane are playing to their potential. I don’t think the team as a whole moves the ball well or runs good lines in the opposition 20m zone.

Makes you wonder what on earth the coaching staff are watching when reviewing games when it comes to our attack.

Everyone is so flat footed is ridiculous barely anyone is moving with any energy off the ball compared to penrith who have players in motion even if not involved in the play

If the likes of Yeoh and Capewell can be origin players why not Matterson and Lane?

Kent is 100% on the money. Gutho is either a malicious little shit or completely f**ken stupid. He is a bit of dead head but there's no way that he's unaware of what Ayoub is doing. Not the actions of a player dedicated to our club imo.

Its completely uneccessary and will heap further pressure on a team that is shithouse at dealing with pressure.

ive always been a big gutho fan, but yeah, its pretty hard to believe he has no idea whats going on .... and if he doesnt, then now he knows and should have a word to his manager to cut the shit

"I'll just leave that stuff to Sam and focus on playing footy"

How about telling your mate Sam to stop trying to pressure the club through the media while we're in a form slump.

Too busy writing letters to send out to the fans under the pseudonym Junior Paulo. Like that’s a real name.

Definitely sounds made up.

I hope he doesn't do an ACL between now and then. That would be awful. For him. Sam won't be happy.

Let's see if the media start making shit up now.

They've been cannibalising the game consistently since 1995.

Gutherson and Arthur's gone after 2022.

Does Ayoub overrate how popular Gutherson is with the fans? Hoping we pressure the club to JUST GET IT DONE FFS!!

I wonder who really decided to postpone negotiations? There's been a media narrative that we lack a superstar, which obviously reflects on Gutherson. As a shorthand, here's how his fantasy points have gone this year. Anyone feel free to add a timechart:

Round	Opponent	Fantasy points
12	Souths	33
13	Newcastle	79
14	Wests	69
15	Canterbury	55
16	Penrith	36
18	Gold Coast	88
19	Canberra	43
20	Easts	61
21	Souths	23

Certainly, Souths know how to shut him down. His numbers against the Chooks were blown out by their shitty kicking game allowing a lot of kick return metres. But Gutherson is a stats padder from way back, which is not to say he's not a good player, he just isn't as good as his high involvement makes it appear. Sometimes he should just catch and pass so someone else can make the big play.

Anyway, it would have benefited Gutherson and Ayoub (but not us) to get the deal done before the Penrith game, but certainly before we started this six round horror run. I can't see his value increasing by the end of the finals. Maybe that's why Gutherson wigged out at his team mates a couple of weeks ago. He could see his value dropping sharply between then and the first of November.

I remember Britney Spears shaved her head around the time she had a meltdown. That's all the evidence I need.
