Rumours and Stuff

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!
Such a compelling argument. Problem solved!! Can someone forward this to Gutho ASAP??!!

FMD. What a load of garbage...

One would assume Ryles tells MON who he wants and MON determines the price we pay depending on cap space available. If Gutho and Sivo go one would think about $1.5m becomes available which means 3 good players to replace 2. Win win.
It's just nice to read of meeting involving MON and BA in the same room. Not sure I read of a meeting with coach, player, agent and HOF in the past 11 years.
