Gutho off contract

[ShanghaiEagle]

I know this has been debated quite a bit, but Gutho is off-contract next year at the Eels. He would be a great get for us at centre, can fill in at 5/8 or fullback, and I think he is still at heart a Manly lad. With things not looking too promising for Dylan, this could be an obvious recruitment play.

Wouldn't mind seeing him return but can't see it happening IMO. He'll only go somewhere that can offer him the Fb position. Don't think we can do that with turbo and hoppa coming through. Plus with his injury record I'd say it won't happen

 

[robbiea]

Would love him in Walkers vacant centre spot this year ,Get it done Des.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I hope he wants to come home.

Local junior and good first grade footballer ..... want him back ...... but ..

But serious question .... he is now a club captain and an experieneced fullback,winger,centre and 5/8 ....... how much would you be prepared to offer him?

Would you pay him fullback or 5/8 money ? .. would he ever be as good as Turbo or Hoppa jnr .... would he ever be the best player in those positions ?

Would you just offer him utility money?

I'd offer him what ever we had ,which is probably whatever we get compensated for Walker.So that would be last minute centre money !!

 

[Stevo]

I reckon he would be good but if we had no Dylan Walker next year i'd be aiming higher

 

[mave]

He is a handy utilty player, no question.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

And not worth his asking price these days. If he had stayed , then probably a different story.

Very fast backline. I love it.

Gutho and Buhrer for Walker and Brown......*sigh*

You would be paying him Dylan's centre money ... may not be enough. My read of him, no inside info, is that he was very dirty to be pushed out at Manly, but does want to come back and would take something of a discount to play at Manly again. He is from the areas and has friends at the club.

I may be completely wrong, and maybe it doesn't stack up. I do think he is a very talented player (similar or more talented than Dylan - although obviously with different skills) and would add a lot to the backline. Injury prone history is an issue, but worth the risk in my view.

This should not even be up for debate. Look at our roster !! Assuming no Dylan we have easily the least depth and class in the three quarters and five eight area of any club in the comp. Most of our guys wouldn’t be considered as starters anywhere else.

The price matters of course but he is streets ahead of anyone we have at the club right now in those positions.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

the kid has x factor, that is for sure. And we need that in attack cause we don't have much going on last year.

Brief snippet mate, but Garrick looks outstanding.
By all accounts, Hopoate should be a goer.
Taufua looked okay in his trial.
T Trbojevic is outstanding (Australian rep)
DCE is the current Australian half
Elgey I believe has a heap of potential.

Walker should be okay until at least May, and for mine, that's not a bad backline.

Hoppa won’t be playing first grade till later in season and Walker is gone

Parker Elliott or Suli go in . Reassessment ?

Not good, no.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

My heart bleeds for Gutho. A combination of serious leg injuries and dodgy decisions by club management ruined what would have been a magnificent career in maroon and white.

 

[Highflier]

Deja vous....

all over again

Not good, no.

Or is he gone ? What a shambles this is
