Hahaha!. My Aunt and Uncle and cousins lived in the Hurstville area and so did I for a bit. Does that count or should I just stick to some rubbish on the topic? Hahaha!
Yeah it definitely counts DD. I remember going shopping with Grandma in Hurstville. It was a magical place back then.

I must admit we also went to Roselands occasionally which I think is Dogs territory?

Guess Hunt can go to Dogs then, wouldnt be too far from where he lives now? :p

Funny how the world turns.

It was my grandson’s Baptism yesterday and at the ‘afters’ one of the son-in-laws mates came over to tell me that he and his missus now live in the St George area… Lugarno. :D

They like the area very much, the neighbours are Saints supporters and he thinks he should become a Saints supporter. I told him to join Saints Leagues and come to a couple of games at Jubilee.

The more the merrier RedVee. Tell him the Dragons will kill it next year.

This Gutherson roomer has hanging around for 15 pages now, there is really no evidence that he will be leaving the eels and definitely no evidence that he will be coming to the dragons, the only time dragons get their player is when it is done before all the roomer and media get into a lather, the longer this goes the less likely that it will happen.

Yep, it has been going on for too long now. Forget him.

Media said we were meeting with gutho (and jac) this week, but I'd suggest like all other signings, he has to see if any of the other 15 clubs are options first.

Hunt apparently won't talk options until mid November (post tournament), but clearly his manager has been.. But that side of the equation will take time.

I do hope that is the case Rev and he leaves the meeting in a positive frame of mind about where Flanno intends to take the club with himself- Gutherson playing a major role should he decide to sign with the Dragons .

Clint Gutherson’s tenure at Parramatta is over after the club granted the captain an immediate release from his final year at the Eels.
Gutherson has played his final game for the Eels and is on the verge of securing a three-year deal with the St George Illawarra Dragons just 24 hours after they agreed to a mutual termination of the contract with their captain Ben Hunt.

Gutherson is the second NRL club skipper in as many days to sever ties with his respective club after his management requested an immediate release from his contract on Wednesday afternoon.
The Eels held a board meeting on Wednesday night and agreed to grant the fullback his request to part ways effective immediately.

The Eels will not pay any part of his $875,000 salary with St George Illawarra indicating they were in a position to pay the fullback the value of his Parramatta deal.
Another club has also expressed interest but the Dragons are in the box seat to announce his deal as early as this week. The Dragons have also expressed interest in securing Gutherson in 2026 and 2027 on a lucrative contract.
Gutherson will likely play fullback at the Dragons next year.

Gutherson’s future has been up in the air for several months after new coach Jason Ryles informed him that he planned on moving the veteran out of his usual fullback role.
At first the Eels offered the position to Blaize Talagi but when he signed with the Panthers, Parramatta secured Dylan Edwards’ deputy Isaiah Iongi from Penrith as their No.1 for next year.


Gutherson, who was told that he would be used as a hooker/lock if he stayed at the Eels in 2025, is convinced he still has plenty to offer at fullback and the Dragons are keen to hand the 30-year-old the No.1 jersey next year.
It’s expected to see Tyrell Sloan shift to the wing to accommodate his arrival.
“If it was to happen, Tyrell’s still got a big part,” Flanagan recently said.
“I think it’d be fantastic for Tyrell’s development to have someone like Gutho around. Tyrell could play on the wing. So if I need to have that conversation with Tyrell I will, but I haven’t as yet because it’s a little bit pie in the sky stuff at the moment.”

Gutherson will also come into consideration for the Dragons’ captaincy role that has been vacated by Hunt’s departure, but the frontrunner for the job is South Sydney recruit Damien Cook.
