Long Live King Gutherson

[Eelementary]

Long live King Gutho!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Didnt we once sign their assistant coach KG?

You mean the bloke who poached Gutho from them?

 

[Chipmunk]

I think this is Gutho's last year at fullback. The body just says No.

Where does everyone see Ryles playing Gutho next season?

Ideally he'd be most suited to 6, but will we move our current 6 to accommodate that?

He could play centre, but I think he's going to be wasted as a centre.

He is still likely to be in our Top 3 most important players, and highest paid, in 2025, and he needs to be on the field for 80 minutes, so 14 is just plain stupid.

He has the motor and skill level to play both 9 and 13, although it would depend what our style is like to whether he would be suited to 13.

Thoughts?

 

[JokerEel]

If he isn't playing fullback which I think he can if he gets his body right ..

His only option is 14...

Come on play 10-15 minutes as a replacement hooker or come on move to 6 and Brown to lock for a few minutes.

He isn't a winger a centre or 5/8. Well a starting one anyway.

He isn't a hooker either imagine a busted Guthos trying to get through 40 tackles a game ffs

I’ve been saying for a while 14. Can cover the halves, back line, and hooker. Lacks pace to be a genuine threat in the backs / halves full time anymore

I reckon he could defend in the middle. In fact, he would make an excellent modern lock, especially with Paulo and RCG providing enough size already.

You don't pay people around $1m a season to play a bits and pieces roll off the bench

For one season you probably can. It might even encourage him to leave over this off season and free up some $$

He would need to be replaced though. I don't that is likely next season.

As Noise said for a season you can he isn't giving us a mill a season at the moment.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

We are rolling in cash.

And I’m fighting hard for us to make him a decent offer to lure him away from you.

He was Brad all the way as you know.

Hes a solid player, I love his game and most of all, his attitude.

I’ve got Richos email and It would be remiss of me and would be neglecting my passion for the Tigers if I didn’t present his sensible case to our senior management.

I would play him at fb and move Bula to the wing, unless the To’o affair is finally resolved in our favour. Whispers are that we are close despite the public denials.

 

[hindy111]

We are seeing culture in work. BAs culture he set up over 11yrs.
f**kn hopeless

Good call. I could see him playing an Isiah Yeo type role for the eels.

Except Paulo in particular isnt using that size to the teams advantage. And where do we put QLD SOO rep Hopgood?

RCG and Hopgood at 8 and 10
Gutho at 13

Not sure that works... i dont see Hopgood coming off the back fence with kick-off returns to be honest.

Paulo doesn't

 

[JokerEel]

Gee we are losing it now Gutho to 13..


Hopgood 13 Guymer 13 Gutho 13 Joe 13 Matto 13 Lane 13

Who have I missed?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He would need to be replaced though. I don't that is likely next season.

Merkins expecting big roster changes for 2025 are off their heads. The roster we have will need to perform better. It’s as simple as that. Fewer injuries, better form from our senior players and the addition of Lomax is what we are pinning our hopes on.

We need to get back the culture we had in 2013
