Whispering

Where’s the dislike button?

 

[SnowDragon]

I can’t see where we play Gutho and get any value at all. He is a great defensive and organisational FB, but starting to slow down. All effort, and a good team man I’m sure, but isnt he on close to 1M? I don’t see any value in him unless you short term fullback him, which I don’t want as I’m all in on Sloan.

 

[blue bags]

That's the details I'm hearing
1 million
Is being worked on
EELS to pay some of it
Just to offload him

 

[RedVDave]

Can we sign anyone under the age of 30? Same old sh!t nothing ever changes we are a cash grab retirement home for unwanted players.

 

[Black Panther]

That would be a terrible signing if true, but such a Dragons thing to do.

 

[sammymills]

To play where? Fullback - we already have Sloane and now Val
Centre - we already have suli and now Val
We need props and an elite half

 

[JubileeJeffro]

We need RCG not Gutho.. he is past it!
Why would you sign a guy that needs his knees drained to play…

 

[lombard]

Wasn’t this just James Hooper saying he thinks Dragons might look at Gutherson on NRL360 last night. We only have 1 space left unless we move players on and that will be for a front rower. Next they need a back up half back. Holmes and Allan can cover FB also next year already if needed.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

2025 = hmmmmm I can see the appeal and that Gutho plays in the line

The real issue we have is solving our halves for 2026 and maybe 2025.

Gutho to 6
Flano to 7

Hunt retires ?

or

Gutho to 6
Hunt 7
Cook 9
Sloan / Holmes FB
Flano to no14 for 2025

 

[Inisai Toga]

At the right price he could align with us. Always admire his energy and commitment in every game. Bring added leadership qualities which we need. Still an effective player despite arguably loss of speed. Would strongly depend on price but see the fit.

 

[hewi]

Not needed, past his prime and a waste of money.

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Not needed, past his prime and a waste of money.

Better off leaving his cap issues with Eels, means RCG or others more available.

 

[CozDragon]

I don't particularly see what he brings for on the field advantage but I think he would offer a lot off the field.
He would be a very good mentor for Sloan and the rest of our young juniors coming through the ranks.

As long as we get him on the cheap, say no more than 4-500K, then I think it is an ok signing. Any more than that and I don't think it is worth it.

Centre - we already have suli and now Val

An Elite half all day .......

Coach Flanno rebuilt Sharks team many years ago. By getting experienced players

 

[matPORTS]

We have one roster spot left.

Parramatta are looking to move on Gutho & RCG.

Can we:

Offer Blake Lawrie in a swap deal to get both & with some part freight also?

This makes sense - as Lawrie can go with his mate Zac, and Parramatta will need to replace RCG in their engine room.

1. Sloan

2. Holmes
3. Suli

4. Gutherson
5. Tuipulotu

10. Sele
11. Leilua
12. Su'a
13. JDB

14. Cook
15. T Couchman
16. R Couchman
17. F Molo

Depth =

Eisenhuth
RFM
M Molo
K Flanno
Allan
Egan
Buchanan
Finau
Matt Feagai
V Fifita
Pasifiki-Tonga
Marshcke
...

(not 100% up to scratch with our current list movements but imagine Flanno would be looking for similar depth quality)

he would be a perfect 14

Hooper is on our bus ATM. He is also bringing anyone on board with him. He loves his dream fed scoops that to this date.. NIL have been spot on. Flanno leaks info and uses those with hair.in the media to his advantage.

Can’t see Gutho & Hunt working together.
Both like to run the show.
Could work with Kyle though.
