Rumours and Stuff

I reckon Gutho is fine with the number on the table... the only issue is the term.
I reckon Junior is fine with the number on the table... the only issue is his manager.
I reckon Reed is really close to being fine with the number on the table... the only issue is he just isn't 100% sure about the difference in the number between us and Dogs.
I reckon PKent is a knob.

I stand corrected - 2 from 4.

Start worrying now about the 2026 season....Just around the corner...

 

[Eelementary]

Never mind - I'm a little slow.

And it’s official

Where's the members email ffs. Someone is asleep at the wheel.

Though i notice recently we tend to put the players partner's names in these press releases. Is that to make it feel like a family club or something. I dont have an issue with it but i found it curious.

The Parramatta Eels have finally landed the signature of skipper Clint Gutherson on a three-year contract after months of tense negotiations.
The Daily Telegraph understands the deal is worth around the $2.3 million mark.

Happy with this tbh.

 

[King-Gutho94]

sounds like he only got a $20 a week pay rise, well worth holding out for

Needs it to pay for the petrol travelling from the beaches everyday

Glad to see Gutho stay, great work from the club to not fall for Ayoub's tricks and lies

Don’t get sucked into the whatif game merkin.

I agree with hindy, it’s kind of an all-in or all-out situation. If we maybe have to pay over what we initially wanted them for perhaps that’s acceptable but there’s little point paying overs for one and losing the other 2

 

[parra-matters]

1 of 3.

you got 2 out of 4, kent is a knob

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Glad to see Gutho has re-signed and it looks like at a price fairly reasonable to all parties. Mahoney next, please.

 

[hineyrulz]

So, just give Reed whatever he wants? No matter what that does to who else you can sign or re-sign?

Yep, no excuses just get it done FFS!!!

Dude it was a joke.

Well he did get his extra year, hopefully it’s in our favour.

 

[strider]

I wonder if there are any options (team or player) in the Gutho contract? .... options often get put in when the sides atruggle to agree as a means of giving a little and getting it done

Hopefully there's a player option for 2023.

Love you Gutho. Always knew you were rock solid. Never in doubt

Except we didn’t pay any extra for Gutho.

All initial reports suggested we were offering him something around $1.5m to $1.6m for 2 years. The deal today suggests he signed for around $2.3m for 3 years.

really all we have done is offer another year not any extra cash. Pretty much paying what we valued him at originally….

So it won’t hinder our other re-signings….

 

[Eelementary]

If we retain Mahoney, Gutherson, and RCG, I'd say it was a successful retention drive.

Paulo would be nice to retain, but I feel he is less crucial than RCG is to us.

Papali'i will be a loss, but we can replace him.

Never doubted Gutho!

WouId be good if Kaufusi stays to and Drown extends or takes up his option.

Its interesting that the media is talking about the big 3 now 2…but no mention of Drown. Not even a whisper of other clubs being interested. Raiders were mention last year but nothing since and the Warriors now seem set on their halves and aren’t interested as rumoured.

How could the warriors afford him.

They are paying marata 625k, lodge around 425, AFB 850k a year

Tohu harris is supposedly on 700k as well

They also took most of DWZ 800k a year contract off the dogs.
