Not sure why there is confusion about Gutho.
The club decided that other areas of the team / players needed to be brought in (such as Walker and Marty). As most of the cap had already been spent or nominally allocated the only alternative was to move players on where they might still need to pay for some of their contract but not the whole amount i.e. Matty Ballin who is being paid by us and the tigers
Here is where it gets interesting. From all reports the club tried to move on players like Mateo and Burgess however the players, as is their right, refused to move / would not be taken by other teams.
So what can the club do? They have to release players who they might have wanted to retain, like Gutho and Hiku, as they were attractive to other clubs and less likely to play regular first grade when compared to the players coming on board
Yeah...but why isn't Moltzen playing?????
