Rumours and Stuff

You're just being nasty. f**king Serbs.

Lol.
Not at all. It's the Aussies like my sister, her family and all their friends that are the problem.

Is there really any benefit for Gutho to leave? Obviously we don't know how he will go in the new role.

what would another club offer him, $700k over 3 years? So approx $2.1m / 3 years

Say he performs in his new role, what is he worth to us? $400k to $500k? Say it's the lower amount (worse case for him), that's $1.75k over 3 years ($950k + $800k).

So the difference is approx $350k over 3 years, not a huge amount. Also got to factor in, he probably can pick up some sponsorship being an eels player, plus the benefits of being a long term eels. Plus the travel from Manly to Parra rather then Wollongong is a shit load easier. Plus the eels role probably prolongs his career as easier on his body....

Really the only risk is injury early in the season without a contract for 2026. Or he fails in role, which is probably unlikely!

You may have answered your dilemma in your post. Just think it over for a few more minutes and I reckon it'll come to you!!

I reckon Gutherson won't get offers more then 450k. I wouldn't even offer him that much.

The new era is upon us. Time to load the dice.

You watch the panic on here if he signs somewhere else, especially close to home.

I think Reece ‘Jeff’ Robson is more realistic

You're probably right, but have a crack.

If we lose Gutherson and Sivo next year js there enough talent on the market? Between those 2 and Reg's money you'd think we'd have 2 million or more to spend, I hope there js options for us.

Imagine if he got a K bonus for every time someone gave Bea Arthur’s nuts a squeeze on here??? He’d be on double Cleary.

What, like people who don't even bother talking about the ex-coach because he's gone, and regardless of whether he was good, bad or indifferent it doesn't change our choices going forward? Either he'd certainly get a bigger bonus I'd guess.

Great. Thanks for sharing I think.

Now I know why they keep staring at us at the Royal National Park.

It's not like us Aussies are that great at the Schuhplatter.

Doing a shoey with that footwear would be easy though.

Looks like the conjecture we don’t have the cash to sign decent players is due to the mess in the cap, seems like it may take a full season with more players off contract to solve the issue and provide some room . Players on long, overvalued contracts need to be off the books for Parra to compete in the market.

Frustrating to see clubs with similar of better rosters more active than Parra, a short roster and being unbalanced for 2 years maybe the reason is poor cap structure.

The reason is that BA looked after his underperforming bum boys.

Gutho, Sivo, Paulo, Lane all on big overs.

Not many blokes have earn’t their pay the last two years.

Conservatively there is:

$900k
$500K
$850K
$550K

$2.8m just there. f**k me. With that money you could sign Ponga and Harry Grant and win the comp.

 

[TheCrowe]

Seen Sione Finau name a few times on social media as a possible rumour signing

only posting as Ryles has a connection with him, Finau was with the Storm.

Looks like he isn't afraid of a hitup..... or an intercept.

Throw in Matto who is on 650k and misses a quarter of every season with injury.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Matto is the biggest softcock I've ever seen in my 45 years of following footy
