I am guessing playing for the Tigers and Bulldogs and getting flogged on a weekly basis would send anyone to a early retirement.

He said his body can't keep up with what his mind wants him to do. One day guthos body isn't going to do what he wants it to do anymore and he'll be done. That day is coming, that's why they want him to play in the centres in the near future.

That will do me, Luai only fined and not suspended!!! We lose a game and Bailey for another 11 days while Sivo makes an accidential high tackle, player not concussed and he gets 3 weeks. Are they really serious about head injuries or continue to play favourites with clubs and players?

On another matter who is to replace Bailey? Obvious player is Dunster but I watched NSW Cup game and appears he still cannot run at any speed. I'd suggest Blaize Talagi might get a run at winger.

Guth can still do most of the stuff he does at fullback in the centres. Love Gutho but he has been caught out a few times defensively at fullback.
Does the dylbro gutho swap get raised again? I actually think it's better for the team. Give Dylbro licence to roam. Plus when he steps on it he's very quick. Guth is probably one of the slower fullbacks going around.
Just to be clear I'm not advocating for Guth to be moved on but the time is coming for a positional change to better the team and preserve his longevity

I've advocated at trying dyl at fb but probably best to give him the offseason to learn

Why, id like to see him with more space. I'm sure he'll beat more players one on one and yes can roam eother side

In the panfers game, you can see his desperation in defense ala gutho. He was sprinting to the wings as he sensed trouble over there

Maybe organising the defense is what he has to learn

I agree Look at the Broncs/Knights/Titans/Storm/Warriors/Tigers/Dragons

All have very quick fullbacks.

I know Penrith had Edwards They also have May/Tago/To'o/Tauruva oh and Cleary.

If we can get Lomax now pull that trigger get him at centre will make us alot stronger or if not chase Paps. He was great last night btw..

Would you play Gutho at centre Drown at 1 and go with Blaize or Sanders at 6?

Or move Gutho straight to hooker 🤌

I’m not a tough guy at all, but I was brought up to be respectful to people even if you don’t like them or what they do, and to call out bullshit when you see or hear it. Attacking a man’s character and labelling him a gutless coward because you don’t like the job he does is pathetic and deserves calling out.

Agreed. But he was only calling him a gutless coward within the very narrow context of coaching our football team I hope). However? the bogan shit and the Bali holidays, vocabulary, etc, are a step too far.

No guarantee that Simmonson misses the next game because despite not returning to the field, he may still pass the required protocols that allow him to play within the 11 day stand-down period.

Fingers crossed I was actually starting to like the pairing of Harper and Simmonoson..

I thought they made that a hard and fast rule now on 11 day stand downs

How can players seek an exemption from the 11-day stand-down policy?​

"The 11-day stand-down rule only kicks in upon the diagnosis of a concussion," Annesley said.

However, this doesn't mean a player will be automatically ruled out for that period. In some rare cases, they can apply for an exemption which will allow them to play for their side the next week.

The process which a player, who has suffered a concussion, must go through in order to do so involves a number of steps.

After the game and the following morning, a player must not be showing any signs or symptoms of having a concussion. They need to be asymptomatic.

Specific criteria must also be met which applies to their past history with concussion.

For example, they must have suffered fewer than five concussions in their career and had no prior concussions diagnosed in the previous three months to be eligible to move onto the next step.

If they advance to this stage, they will then meet with an independent neurological expert, who is appointed by the NRL, where they will be examined further.

"It doesn’t rest on the decision of the team doctor, or the NRL but the independent expert on head injuries, who has examined the player and done the testing, or reviewed it, and determined that the player is okay to return," Annesley said.
