Good Riddance. Beautiful news to see on a Wednesday morning @duffer

Watch him kill it wherever he goes next btw - just won't be as the primary playmaker.

I've heard that Gutho to saints is basically across the line, and will play 6 for us

Didn’t realise that he’s been on $1 million + for several years

That’s Fifita like

 

[duffer]

From the mole:

The Dolphins' Sean O'Sullivan or Bulldog Toby ***ton shape as the Dragons' best hope of securing an established halfback for 2025

and also, quite grossly:

Should Hunt fail to find a deal to take him back to Queensland, the Bulldogs are perhaps the Sydney club in the best position to make a play at him.

 

[Burgey]

Gutho apparently getting an immediate release to the Dragons as alluded to here earlier. Pretty gut wrenching tbh. Bloke never left anything out there. Been a champion. You at least know he gives it everything he has. If you don’t watch Parra regularly you might not realise just how much he does. He certainly won’t let you down

 

[duffer]

Effectively a Zac for Gutho swap. Who won?

 

[ashley bach]

Zac the more valuable/better player these days, but as Burgey sez a guy who always gives his guts and wont let you down is always a huge asset.

Warbrick’s try against Lomax has me underrating Lomax very much for now.

So the Dragons.

 

[ashley bach]

haha he had a split second to think about that. A piece of brilliance from Warbrick tbf

 

[AVA]

I'm both devo about losing Gutho and devo that it's probably the right thing to do for both the club and himself. Let's him get a contract at decent value as opposed to getting a final contract after playing a season all over the place. I also didn't hold out much hope of that plan working in any case, seeing him play SOO at centre and off the bench showed that he really can't keep up with the physicality of playing in the front line in big games, so don't think he has a season in him in that role.

Brisbane has given Walsh the biggest contract in their history and Latrell has replaced his home bar with a gym

Neither will work out

Entertaining game in the end and good on Tonga for getting the W.
Kiwi's almost pulled out the Alcatraz card after being down 0-24. At 24 all I kind of feel like they stuffed it up at the end in particular not taking the field
goal with 7 mins to go on the clock, then following with some poor execution in the final moments.
But really the first half was despicable from them tstl. They looked un-coached and Stacey Jones no doubt has questions to answer.

CNK is barely a good enough ball player to play 1, let alone 6. That's really costing NZ at the moment.

Kodi isn't really a Test standard player but at least he's actually a professional halves option.

On the upside of all this Keano Kini has arrived. What a gun he's gonna be for years to come.

 

[Burgey]

Gutho officially gone then. Can't help but be gutted tbh. Meanwhile, blokes who play in a dinner suit get extensions. Farce of a club.

 

[duffer]

It'll be great to have a proper standard setter on the roster. @Kraken

 

[Burgey]

The good thing for you blokes is at least he always asks the same standards of himself as he does the other blokes in the team. NGL I hope he burns our blokes when we play Saints.

 

[duffer]

Wondering where this puts Tyrell? Can he play anywhere else? @Kraken

 

[the big bambino]

Did the Rabbitohs buy Schuster?

 

[Prince EWS]

Flanno said he was a wing option.

 

[Kraken]

Wondering where this puts Tyrell? Can he play anywhere else? @Kraken

I would think this would put him on the Wing, hopefully he beefs up a little

On our signings for this year, it all really signals a culture and attitude shift - long may it continue

 

[the big bambino]

Hell we do have Shuster. Should be interesting having Wighton, Shuster, Walker and Mitchell in the same team. Some non footy related headlines in that quartet.
