I think its this (such a loyal bloke by nature) + can he make it work from his beloved northern beaches home.. surely there are only a handful of clubs that would be any easier for him to access.. but how often does he train at the gong per week, like 1 or 2? We must be able to sort out a crash pad.. Kogarah training wouldnt be too bad.. I mean its further but doable.. esp if they leave early.... but I can definitely see his dilemma.. but end of the day I think we are his only choice (parra aside).
That doesn’t really answer my question! Why sign Munro in a position that we may have some depth in ?
Agree , desperate for a feared hard nosed prop and a 7
Until it’s announced we haven’t
I would just like to clarify that the Dragons are possibly the only team that has made him a reasonable offer ( that we know of) whatever the offer is , either take it and make it work or leave it and see out your career at Parra. All this other crap has to be on the player with the amount of money they are getting, plus if he does move for a couple of years I'm sure there are people at the club employed to help facilitate that move. This is not a good look, so the Dragons are the last option, and if he does come its purely for the money. He knows what the score was at Parra and SF has told him what he wants at the Dragons. Its all on Gutho either make it work or piss off.
Isn't that what a rumour is
I looked it up.. 2021 was his first (and only) kid afaik, so its a little tricky with school kind of kicking off mid-contract in that 4.5-6yr age bracket.. you dont want to change schools if you can help it.... then throw in I assume his family support is in the area also.... he was born in mona vale and I think lived their his entire life (gods country I promise ya), the fact that he has commuted to Parramatta for 10yrs means location is very important for him.
Rev, its a good post mate, but, the good clubs put offers to players and tell them to have an answer by a certain date, end of story. It's ridiculous for any player to think they are going to spend their life at one club, the NRL reflects a National competition. They are paid more than enough money to have their kids at the best schools, there are support networks the clubs provide, and they get a huge payday that should cater for travel and probably the purchase of a new house. All I'm saying is the Dragons have been put on hold while he thinks about it or a better offer comes in. He would know what he wants and what is best for his family, no need to go on a holiday to think about it.
Sure, if it's an interesting rumor.
I don’t think his manager would be too concerned at the moment knowing Flanno is keen. It could get interesting though if it actually gets to the negotiating table.
Agree ffs the club should also have a gut feel & decide whether or not they are wasting their time also.
No way, they have too many backs already to fit into the team and 2 fullbacks in Turbo and Hopoate
Yar Gutho's dream would be to play for Manly again... but on top of Turbo & Hopoate... Faulalo and Koula are also in the squad.. its not a bad pipe-line.. tbh I would have thought we were a crack at dislodging 1 of those.. but I would hsave said that about the Titans fullbacks, or even the Sharks who have guys like Dykes, Atkinson, Kennedy, Hynes & Ison all of which could potentially fill that #1 jersey.... hopefully we jag atleast 1 off them for our halves problem.
