King Gutho linked to Dragons

I’m interested to see how it plays out. I agree on the 3rd year. Hopefully it’s at a lower amount.

I asked the question to see if there was total support or if some aren’t a fan.

Was a good question

I was sceptical to start with, but I’m happy now. We need another leader around the place - off field as much as on

Big question mark for me is a replacement half for Hunt. That’s a pretty significant missing piece of the puzzle. I can’t really imagine K Flanno and Gutho in the halves so I’m going to hold off on any excitement about the signing until I know that’s not the plan. As for Lodge - in terms of culture, he would bring the opposite of every other signing that we’ve made. I can’t see how that adds up. FWIW, I would have a hard time cheering for Lodge. As I do for JDB. As I did for Packer. Just my perspective

All you blokes want gutho?

Absolutely, finally someone with a good footy brain, big ticker, big motor and undeniable leadership.

I for one, am willing to forego missing Hunt at half, and build a team around real footy professionals who don't dish out on their Club.

We are not going to win anything with our current roster, but we may build to something if Flanno gets the right people in. We were never going to win anything with an overpaid hooker playing at half.

Yeah I’m ok with it, particularly for the first two years.
He’s a leader which we’ve lacked for years & his efforts can never be questioned along with being brilliant on the captain challenges & appears to know the rules better than some refs.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I reckon he goes good. Gotta keep him off the injury list though. Flanno is helping you, this is what he does, shops at Costco and gets you to be competitive. Gotta lose his son though, he is trash.

It won't be...

Sharks fans don’t like Kyle, I know plenty.
So far he’s been good for us, interested to see if he can take that next step.

I didn’t like him when he was with us. I don’t think he is what you need, I may be proven wrong but so far no yet.

The argument so far has been that he has not been getting his share of the ball bcs Hunt is a hog. He did play well when Hunt was away on SOO. We will see.

Yeah he’s not a top tier half but I don’t think he’s “trash” This season he played well for 80% of his games, he was dogshit a few times but was more consistent than most.
I am genuinely intrigued to see how he plays without (c) hunt sulking around the pitch next to him. You may be right, he may fall apart but I don’t think so, I reckon he will go good.

No but unfortunately Flano isn’t me

 

[blue bags]

I saw an interview with Paul Gallen maybe two years ago where he said he made $15m out of his post-NRL boxing career. As a boxing fan, I was gobsmacked. These footballers are utterly rubbish boxers. Still, the public wants what it wants.

Just on his side of the contract, $15m is 150,000 people paying $100 to watch him on cable or whatever. Is that possible? Maybe.

I read 20 million $ from boxing
It is what it is
If you have a big name
Promoter's will use it sell it

 

[TheRev]

I dont Lodge has a big name though in terms of selling fights.. he might get a few haters for his past incidents.. might sell some PPV's, but hes not hated like Gallen was.

But if Lodge doesnt win his first fight, his career is probably over before it began.

 

[TheRev]

our man!

 

[Georgeg]

I wonder if Gutho will mention that a reason to come to the Dragons is to win a comp?

Have to admit I was never a fan of the way Gutho carried on when he was at Parra with the Gutharena etc but geez I feel like Parra have really done the dirty on a player who was pretty much the heart of their team for the last 5 years or so.
The game is becoming a very hard and cold business. Hopefully his time here is a success for us and him.

Smells a bit like Brett Morris
I was gutted when he left

My Parramatta mates are gutted The King is leaving
They say he does so much on and off the field

Sensational pick up
