What if MON was trying to fill the roster and the person with the final say refused to accept who he was being offered?
Did he write a similar article about Hunt and Dragons......
And Reg.
Ben Hunt Is not really a fair comparison.
And I think most Eels fans can see our treatment of Gutho as reasonable under the circumstances and in fact if he can’t find a contract to his liking elsewhere doesn’t it also point to it being the correct decision? The only “fans” who think it’s poor treatment are Ayoub and his media mouthpieces. Sorry Gutho you are a champion and I still think you’d be valuable player but in terms of contract negotiations, you’ve used up all your goodwill in previous contract negotiations
Alamoti signed with Penrith for 250k, half of his Canterbury contract. No one wanted him, he thrived at Penrith.
I honestly don’t see value in Gutho outside of fullback. His running game isn’t a threat, so wing and centre aren’t improved by him. I don’t see him adding any value in the suggested bunch utility role, either. So yeah I really don’t see how telling him he’s free to talk to other teams is at all disrespectful. He’s been great for us, and it’d be a shame to see him leave but if Ryles is set on the Longi plan I just don’t see how Gutho fits anywhere else.
We might have the same source mate.
Paulo needs to be told to just run, he was fine start of the year when his mentality was run first. As the season dragged on he reverted to trying to be a half.
I believe someone on here called for Hopgood to be our next skipper way back in May.
He should be blaming the players , player managers and the RLPA as they are the ones insisting on players being able to sign elsewhere a year prior to contract expiring .
I think he’d be a decent for us at centre, obviously not at the same price point, and if Drown or Moses left, he’d be good in halves, again still not at same price point. He also reportedly provides outstanding conditioning standards (although evidence of that actually benefitting the club isn’t great) which is very important in a squad even if it doesn’t correlate to his individual performance.
Well, that's not good.
Sounds like a real smart merkin.
