When a guys on 800k I expect far more then a rock at the back. I expect someone contributing in attack and often. Asking questions and be dangerous.
I think he is saf sure but the rest of his games been garbage.

They are fair points.
The way I see it and with what we currently have, I'd like to see our front 3 spine doing more in attack. That would make it easier for Gutho to chime in and add something.

I suppose my point was that without Gutho, we may have a worse fullback that costs us points. Gutho pretty much costs us no points. Ever.

What is he providing but? You may as well have an extra forward out there.....
It's not his job to get early ball when the defence is shot. He is just there to keep his edge steady and get the ball to better players. You don't bring in a backup and give him all the good ball.

In saying this, today was very good for our for and against. Newcastle were rubbish and didn't really threaten our goal line yet when they did, we were solid. A plus 37 on our f and a was excellent.
It was what I expected we should do today against a team like the Knights if we are expected to be contenders.
As I said before, we should have done this to the Tigers last week. A valuable 2 points lost that was.

Everyone whinging about our attack need to stop, we did enough to win comfortably with no injuries, I would make one change, but too frightened to say who, because particular bitches lose their shit….and bully others for their differing of opinions

Oh f**k it , get rid of Jake and give the kid a chance starting with Flegg!!! or whatever

I honestly thought the Knights would be much stronger, considering their non existent fullback re signed for far too much, fkn ecstatic to have got it wrong!!
I thought the Knights were a chance. They're not that bad and we're not that good that there are foregone conclusions in games like that.

Every week he is looking more and more like Andrew Leeds.

If he misses a game it will be interesting to see who plays at fullback when the whole squad is fit.

I hope it’s Russell.
