And he wonders why people don’t take him seriously.
I don’t wonder at all mate. When I was a dumb kid I remember we all thought our teachers knew f**k all as well. We didn’t take them seriously either. But their job wasn’t to give a f**k what we thought, their job was to teach. Like Jesus and the Pharisees.

Well it helps him in his negotiations if he knows he is free to move for 2025.

Club has totally done the right thing by Gutho in this matter and treated him with the respect he deserves.

There is one major difference between JR and BA and how they approach certain things that I have been made aware of. The treatment of Gutho represents this difference.
BA would have respected him too, by extending him on a $3m deal.

So I'm like a grasshopper here?

Ain't it the other way around???

As I kid I thought teachers knew everything, but as I got older I realised they were pretty dopey merkins that didn't know shit...

If only they played more games and gave us a bigger sample size.... Why didn't they play more games? Oh yeah, that s right, they were both broken down old hacks who had to retire before finishing even 1 season with us. Held together with sticky tape if you will.... Ridiculous recruitment....
That's the risk you take with older players. It's no doubt at least partly why we are happy to let Gutherson leave early. Conversely, the Dragons might be happy to take this risk. Flanagan knows they aren't in a position to play it safe, and he won a premiership taking a punt on ageing players in the past. It's all about risk. Not smart recruitment vs oMfG hOw CoUlD tHeY nOt KnOw He MiGhT gEt InJuReD lOl I kNoW mOrE aBoUt FoOtY tHaN tHeY dO fFs!!1!

Would I be getting warm If I interpret what you have said here with the major difference between BA and Ryles here is that Ryles has been upfront and honest with Gutho and where he stands.

While BA in comparison froze out the likes of Nrown and Mannah by alienating them by not even dealing with them and basically forced them out of door
He wouldn't be the first coach to fall out with players.

They know plenty of shit that kids don't know. Hopefully by the time you were an adult you had graduated from high school.

He was excellent for us. The team was worse because we lost Hayne. Watmough got the blame for it.
