I haven't noticed Guth has any haters. Thought they all saw the light and converted last year.
There are some skeptical that he will be able to transform himself into a 5:8 and some criticise his style but not with malice.
Thought we were all Guth lovers now.
All aboard the Guth Bus. There were plenty in the off season that wanted Fogarty at 7 and Norms at 6.
Given Fogarty hasn't looked too flash at cup level (although our forward pack was monstered in the first two rounds) Guth looks like staying our 6 at least for this year.
I reckon ANZ should play ' ice ice baby' every time he scores a try or kicks a goal. Am sure he would love to be a cult figure like ' FUi' or 'tooks ' . Great fun .

Anybody know how his kicking percentages stack up? Besides the Wollongong game he has been reasonably reliable really.
Goal-kicking percentages of all kickers so far:
Adam Reynolds 7/7 (100%).
Issac Luke 1/1 (100%).
Kerrod Holland 1/1 (100%)
Gareth Widdop 13/14 (92.9%)
Nathan Cleary 11/12 (91.7%)
Cameron Smith 10/11 (90.9%).
Johnathan Thurston 8/9 (88.9%).
Mitch Moses 7/8 (87.5%).
Jarrod Croker 7/8 (87.5%).
Jordan Kahu 7/8 (87.5%).
James Maloney 9/11 (81.8%)
Anthony Milford 4/5 (80%).
Ash Taylor 11/14 (78.6%)
Trent Hodkinson 8/11 (72.7%).
Shaun Johnson 5/7 (71.4%).
Aidan Sezer 4/6 (66.7%).
Clint Gutherson 10/15 (66.7%).
Michael Gordon 9/15 (60%).
Moses Mbye 6/10 (60%).
Dylan Walker 10/17 (58.8%).
Bryson Goodwin 1/4 (25%).
Peter Wallace 0/1 (0%).
But recognizing that we had planned for Foran to be our long term half, we've come through this better than most thought.
The good thing about Guth is he gets better every game. He doesn't stop trying and he is a pretty goods defender as well.
