GUTHO TO REV UP RED V
Reagan Campbell-Gillard predicts former teammate Clint Gutherson will have a dramatic impact at St George Illawarra.
Campbell-Gillard, who has also left the Eels for Gold Coast Titans, was shocked at Gutherson’s departure, describing him as the heart-and-soul of the club.
But he insists that the Eels’ loss will to be the Dragons’ gain as Gutherson brings his winning mentality to the Dragons.
“It’s very hard on him,” Campbell-Gillard said. “If he’s not wanted there, then it’s only going to be another club’s (gain).
“Picking him up will be massive for the Dragons. They need a Clint Gutherson to drive standards.
“And that’s what he does, He brings standards the way he plays … he’s tough and will be winning every fitness drill at the Dragons.
“It’s sad to see him leave … he was the heart and soul of Parra.”
