Update given on Gutherson's future

Dragons prepare to welcome seasoned fullback on a three-year deal.

$2.5m for 3 years. Too much and too long. But there it is. For me it is now crucial that the new half be lively and with plenty of speed.

BREAKING: The Clint Gutherson Dragons deal has been agreed to. Word out of Dragons is that paperwork still to be finalised but he will at the club for the next three seasons. Excellent for club culture - a quality player with fire in his belly.

To me that is paying top dollar for a veteran who will hopefully see out his three years without any major injuries .

I do hope that his contract price does not hamstring the club from pursuing other desperately needed players .

NOTE ! Have only just now read ‘ Flanno’s signings ‘ thread and realize that he was on $950k at the Eels , so it has been a good outcome for both parties , however still a bit more than I would had expected .

Supposedly $950k pa 2025

Sounds like we will do
2025 $1mish
2026 $750ish
2027 750ish

but as per usual they blow dragons contract in the media

might be closer $700k for 2026 and $600k for 2027

hard to say despite him being a very good player , his longevity would be taken into account here or any other club

Just need that official announcement now & hopefully a media release with him in a Dragons shirt declaring how happy he is to join to get some positive news out to stop those other salty idiots.

are you sure, if I ask you again next week will we get the same answer?

Lawd forbid ! You know how easily I am confused , now you have me thinking .

But back to Gutherson , most pleased that we have the man at the Dragons , will add much more to our attack . He , along with the experience of Cook and Holmes will settle the team down when the going gets tough in matches .

To complete the puzzle , Flanagan needs to sign a halves partner for Kyle and a tough no nonsense forward or two to put some fire back into the belly of the dragon .

 

[This Year?]

Here we are still picking up dregs.
Will the penny ever drop in this development club?
We have the best jersey, the best logo and the worst everything else.
Still very proud that Bhunt is gone and now I'm already excited for 2025 regardless of recruitment.

Fletch on SEN just predicted Gutho will be player of the year for the Dragons in 2025. Great signature IMO well done Flanno.
