The Guthersation

[frank stokes]

I disagree wholeheartedly, you dont move your best player out of the position he makes the most impact

Agreed... the great strength Tom has is his ability to play both sides of the ruck and then attack through the centre when tired players become lazy... the plan would work and Gutho is a top fb but we would be limiting the options of our best player imo

 

[deanm]

I might get bashed for this bad anyone thought we may use gutho at fullback and Tom in the centres. Tom is an international Centre just throwing it out.

Gutho is a great player and getting him back is the right thing. He should never have left imo

I agree Cam. The chances of Tom playing for Australia at Fullback are difficult as he has Teddy & Probably Ponga ahead of him.

Even though I think he is better than both.

Agreed but I dont think that means manly is best served by him playing centre for us... not saying he wouldn't be great there but I think Tom's a better fb than gutho and we're better off buying a good 5/8 for 500k than a fb for 750k and playing him at 5/8... just my opinion...

And the chances of Gutho being the Kangaroo fullback?

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

This is an easy one. Gutho plays fullback in defence and Tom in attack.

True, don’t understand why this doesn’t happen more

They're not in the same team...?

No thanks to Gutherson, money would be better spent on young blokes coming through the system.

Which is ironoc because he WAS the young guy coming throuh.

Here’s yet another reason Gutho shouldn’t re-join Manly
It's not just the dollars Clint Gutherson must weigh up as he considers his next career move.

Parramatta have big plans around the likeable and popular Gutherson and intend to use him as the face of their marketing and promotional campaigns should he re-sign.

There are already giant-sized pics of 'King Gutho' on the streets of Parramatta and his image is used heavily in membership drives.

The fullback is up there with Mitchell Moses in terms of fan popularity and media interest.

If he moves back to Manly, Gutherson's profile will shrink behind DCE, Marty Taupau and the Trbojevic brothers.

I can see where you are coming from Swoop and certainly I would not want to lose Schuster, Fainu, Albert or Ben T. just to accommodate Gutherson. Love to have him back but only after the others are securely under contract.

Jeez , sorry we have marketable and marquee players Sporting News you numbnuts.

Wait until Moses signs in Brisbane. Gutherson in Manly. They'll need to play Lane in the halves.

**** Parramatta.

 

[Alby]

If BA is not resigned by Parra, then Gutho might consider coming to Manly, provided we don't resign Dylan Walker.

 

[Snake]

This is an easy one. Gutho plays fullback in defence and Tom in attack.

What a great idea. Tire our most lethal attacking weapon out in D so we can lessen his impact with the ball. Not only that, but Tom sets the defence and it’s been more than effective this year.

 

[Snake]

We know that article is bull**** because Mitchell Moses is despised by Eels fans.

 

[maxta]

Yep ....in minimal game time , the advice from the great Snake Stewart is obvious on observation....including positioning and more importantly, guiding his front line with a “voice” from the back.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not only that, but Tom sets the defence and it’s been more than effective this year.

I agree although hasn't Tom only played about one and a half games this year?

Meanwhile, Cherry-Evans would be the biggest beneficiary if Clint Gutherson returned home and played five-eighth next year at Manly. A Sea Eagles team built around DCE, Gutherson, the Trbojevic brothers, Marty Taupau and Addin Fonua-Blake could easily push for a title in the next three seasons. Several Sea Eagles have reached out to Gutherson who holds out for a four-year deal with Parramatta. "I don't know what Clint is doing, but I know he deserves everything he gets because he's such a good person and a great footy player," Cherry-Evans said.

 

[Shoe1]

The eels need to put Clint in cotton wool. Best to have low mileage this year, so he can come to manly next year in his prime.

 

[mave]

The King can name his price after today and the Eels will cough it up.
