Long Live King Gutherson

[Eelementary]

Best defensive fullback and leads by example every week.... Yeah I'll pay that.

But I wouldn't compare him to Price. He's a long way short of that IMO. Have a look at the number GF's we played in/won when Price came to the club. His record and legacy is unrivalled. Is ahead of Bert in the Immortal stakes IMO.

Fair enough.

Gutherson is an decent player but he's not in the class of Edwards or peak Tedesco.

It’s debatable whether he’s better than Edwards but he’s better than the current corpse of Tedesco.

Manu is arguably the best fullback in the game at the moment. Absolute freak every time he plays there.

Teddy is washed and should be switched to wing. I’d say Edward’s and guth r equal in mental strength

I’d give Edwards the edge. To continue to play well in a team where your team mates don’t even talk to you is some feat.

My mate who supports the Chooks reckons Gutherson or Edwards would do a better job for NSW than Tedesco.

Manu is a superstar.

Would you swap Gutherson for him, though?

I am a huge fan of Joey Manu, but I wouldn't - some of the defensive plays Gutho comes up with are completely insane.

You know Rooster Rootin' Rik?

I'm a Roosters supporter and the last couple of games I've found myself raising an eyebrow, and wondering if father time has caught up with Tedesco. But I would avoid Gutherson like the plague. He isn't an origin player and he never will be.

What special skills are needed to be an Origin player please?

Class difference. Experience winning big games, not just having a couple of good club games lately.

He's like a tennis player who is ranked 80 in the world, who has had a couple of good wins lately. I want solid performers who are cemented in the top 10. They are the ones who will perform in big games and under intense pressure. Gutherson will see a ball loose in the in goal, try to kick it and have an air swing, and an opponent dive on it for a try. I've seen him do that in a big game.

If that is Pumpkins opinion, it's clear that he/her has no idea and it is best to ignore.

Yeah, I guess you are right.
But at least he won't see a 2-man overlap and decide to do it all on his own and get tackled 5 metres out on the last.

Ignore it to your own peril. Before Origin I said to pick Luai, not Hynes based on my criteria of playing well in big games. Everyone thought I was crazy. Then Hynes went off the boil 2 weeks prior to origin and Luai had 2 good games. Everyone suddenly forgot about Hynes. Now you are making the same mistake with Gutherson. The flavour of the week. Earlier in the year Parramatta wanted to get rid of him and get a better fullback.
