King Gutho linked to Dragons

[JubileeJeffro]

Luai had an option of going to Souths or learning from James Maloney, he took the latter & it paid off for him. I hope Sloan would do the same, it would be good for him to have a proper fullback teach him fullback play. All the little tips & tricks which only good fullbacks know.

Also no one else will pick up Sloan, it's a position of depth in the NRL & we're his last option. I'd be glad to get him off our books if he chucks a tantrum if we get Gutho.

I think the dogs will target Sloan if Gutho heads to us.

Dogs have Connor Tracey and Blake Taafe. Why would they target Sloan.

Read somewhere and fully agree that Gutho would not like the commute from Manly to the Gong. Move the operation back to StGeorge territory and it could help with recruitment. That plus move the present GM of football out of the club completely and permanently.

The case for Gutho
Sloan could learn so much from Gutho
He played 21 out 27 games in 2024 and rarely has a bad game
Goal kicks 71.7% 38 goals. He makes a good replacement kicker if Val Holmes plays SOO.
He turned 30 in September 24. There are plenty of backs in their 30s playing well.
Gutho is a well liked team man that gives it all every game. The evidence is Parramatta fans are screaming that they don’t want to lose him.

PS. he is not my son.

I can't see Hunt and Gutho in the same side. Any deal to sign Gutho will involve moving Hunt on. I reckon Flanagan wants a clean start with 'his own man' as captain with no other allegiances.

So Gutho 5/8th and captain and Flanagan Jnr half back.

Although if I was Gutho I'd want some pretty strong assurances that we are going to sign some forwards. Or why bother?

Not sure what more Sloan can learn after 2 full seasons at fullback. He either has a good offseason and commits to the position or time to move him on. He'd benefit from a better pack also.

He was strapped up . Bandage up. Like a mummy. Knee injury. 3 cracked. Broken ribs. But kept playing on this year. Tough King Gutho

A better pack won’t make him catch bombs any better nor tackle better.
