Rumours and Stuff

It could be $75k plus $25k/player.

Or 100k for first player and 25 k each after.

I don't intend to open up old wounds, as we all know that his tenure at our club both circa 2009/10 and his recent stint with Sharp did not end well AND the criticism for the most recent stint is entirely warranted.

Can't coach is hard for me to grasp however. Maybe he forgot how to do it or the game moved on and left him behind ...

Dally M Coach of the Year 2002

NRL Grand Finalist 2002 , 2009

Challenge Cup Winner 2006 , 2007 , 2008

Super League Grand Final Winner 2006

World Club Challenge Winner 2007

He can definitely coach (and so can Taylor, IMO). The problem is his relationship management. Eventually this catches up with the coach and his reputation is shot. After that he's unemployable.

The senior players at the Tigers have now managed to get Sheens, Potter and Taylor sacked. The players are running the joint. I would be pretty concerned if I was a WT fan. Some serious culture problems there in my view.

When will the players at that club take some responsibility for their performances?

Yep. When coaches repeatedly get the arse from a club you have to look at who is still there with influence.

Yep you have to have everyone buy in to what you are doing. Even Wayne Bennett could not get that at Newcastle.

newcastle had the same problem as the tigers with fan favourites on massive overs eating up their cap

Gutherson doesn't need to set up tries if he's scoring them himself.

He shouldn't be in the halves if he isn't setting up tries. It's kind of a big part of their job, and it's the reason we will struggle so long as Norman isn't on the field.

I'm sure over time he will be improving his playmaking skills. He set up some tries and line breaks last year in the halves. He's not incapable.
What I'm saying is that he's still only played three games this season and has scored a few tries himself. He's doing ok. I'd prefer he work on his long kicking game first before his playmaking skills. If he gets that right we have other guys who can set up tries (Edwards, French, Semi, Brown).

Our starting hooker and 5/8 have yet to earn a LBA or TA so far this season. Bit of a worrying stat.

Do LBA's and TA's outweigh LB's and T's?
Gutho may not have any LBA's but he does have 4 LB's (and 3 tries). Oh and 7 tackle breaks as well.
Maybe he is a running five-eighth and uses his outside men well?

He shouldn't be in the halves if he isn't setting up tries. It's kind of a big part of their job, and it's the reason we will struggle so long as Norman isn't on the field.

Half our 12 tries have been scored on the right hand side, which is Gutho's normal side. Of these, half (3) of them have been scored by Gutho himself. 2 others on that side were from Norman's boot (1 for Taka and 1 for himself) and the other one was Semi scoring his 4th against the Dragons and Gutherson threw the pass to French before French passed back inside to Semi.

The other 6 tries we have scored have been on the left (3 to Semi, 2 to Bevan and 1 to Robson) so Gutherson has been instrumental in a third of our overall try tally and 66% of the ones on his side of the field.

That is a pass for me so far.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gutherson's playmaking and defence have been fine. At this stage his kicking is his biggest weakness, and you'd expect it to improve.

remember when WE were the club with an endless procession of coaches coming and going?
I'm so glad we passed that torch on to someone else

S-s-s-s-s-s-irro can s-s-s-s-s-uck a fat one.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I had a dream last night that when we played the Roosters we scored a try on the bell to win by 2, but the game still went to golden point because the NRL had decreed that the Eels have to win a game by more than 2 points.
