Long live King Gutho!
You mean the bloke who poached Gutho from them?Didnt we once sign their assistant coach KG?
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 anymoreI 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?
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.I think this is Gutho's last year at fullback. The body just says No.

You don't pay people around $1m a season to play a bits and pieces roll off the benchIf 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
For one season you probably can. It might even encourage him to leave over this off season and free up some $$You don't play people around $1m a season to play a bits and pieces roll off the bench
He would need to be replaced though. I don't that is likely next season.For one season you probably can. It might even encourage him to leave over this off season and free up some $$
