Munster.
Name all 15 fullbacks. Here they are. Who is Gutherson quicker then?

Teddy
Turbo
Edwards
Ponga
Dufty
Ramsey
Nanai
Latrel
Drinkwater
Kennedy
Savage
Walsh
Campbell
Laurie
Papenhauzen
*Miller (I liked the look of this guy) I wonder if he could be an Eel Benchie? Dynamic feet. Would be a beauty against a tired, retreating D.

It reminds me a little of back in the 80's when the Tigers were always the almost good enough team in so many finals campaigns but eventually got nothing but a duck egg
They were definitely good enough to win it in 1989, but so were a bunch of other teams. Guess what, the Raiders had more luck on the day.

yep. I don’t recall anyone questioning gutho’s work ethic.

I also don’t recall anyone defending Gutho when he was holding the club to ransom not long ago.

each and every poster was of the opinion he could get f*^ked. All of a sudden he’s become our greatest signing.

If I recall correctly 600-650k was what most posters were saying what his worth would be. Especially since there seemed to be little noise from rival clubs chasing him.


imagine signing guth for 100k less and having that to throw at ice, rheed or matto. Yet we choose to low ball em and ended up looking like fools.
Did we lowball them or did the desperate clubs that signed them pay overs?

Does anyone know the actual figure/wage any of our players are on now or in the future?
We only know how we’re operating under the cap by looking at the quality of the roster overall. But we do know that if we sign a bloke ands he improves then it will take a bigger contract to keep him. We then have two choices, either pay him the upgrade (while refusing to match stupid offers from rivals) or we bring in another bloke and develop him so that he’s on unders. Remember it’s all about value. A player who is getting paid exactly what he’s worth provides less value than a lesser player on unders. This idea seems to be counterintuitive to some merkins. Maybe even most merkins.

Sure. So if we don't rely on a fullback then we don't need one that costs 800k?
Anyhows Gutherson is ok. I think he is safe and good defence. Ball playings great. He is just very slow and no explosion. We paid too much but that's life......

Here you are with the slow again... How do you measure that?
