To be fair if he thinks he can get more elsewhere he would be mad not to find out. I wonder if this is just a case of managers use to getting what they want from the eels and thinking we are bluffing and calling that perceived bluff. Now the club needs to move on to the next player more than likely Moses, offer him what they think he is worth. At the same time identify a fullback for next year and negotiate with him

manly moved him on when he was on chump change. We’ve taken the risk with him and persevered after his second acl. We could of easily told him to explore his options in 2017. If he wants to chase the dollars at manly, that’s fine with me. He’s handy, but He’ll never be an elite player. This says more about him and his management than it does about our club.
He certainly won't be at Moanly, unless Trbeweetbix has to have his hamstring or whatever surgically removed

I don't reckon HE'S chasing the dollars, but as someone said previously (I think it was Delboy, @Poupou Escobar can confirm) that's why they hire agents
Who cares? Agents doing their job to suck as money as they can out of a club on behalf of a player. The end result is the same. BTW, I'm not pre-empting Gutho's decision, just commenting on the possibilities.

I made a post couple of days ago comparing him to other fullbacks.
Really current ranking probably goes:
Tedesco
RTS
Ponga
Trebbfadfjevic
Daylight
Daylight
Daylight
Almost every other fullback (although Gunco probably nearer to top)
Whoever Cows are trying out there
Daylight
Dawius

The only ones possibly to break out of the pack are Gunco, DWZ, youngsters Hughes & Isaako and maybe Shiny Nickel Clockstand (what the f**k are Tits doing with Brimson as well?)

So there's not a huge amount of clear talent worth chasing, and even less off contract. But that's also not good enough reason to f**k your cap for 4 years if Gunco doesn't rise to whatever level his manager is asking for

Guth sits just outside the top fullbacks in the game. He's worth 700k and not the million 4/5 of the elite ones are on. He's still a great player, second most metres gained, most LBAs in the comp, tied 3rd most try assists. Plus we know he's a leader and gaining more confidence in the role and he isn't a merkin off the field.
