guth

When norman comes back where does guth go. Seems if uou put him in the front row he'd find a way to get the job done, seriously though he needs to be in the spine but where? Fullback? Half? 5/8? Lock? Hooker? Utilty bench player? Where should he play?

  • I beleive they will have French and Guth change posiitions within the game as Gordon and Holmes did at sharks
    • French already does that with Semi
    • and Minichello and RTS
  • Guth 100 % goes to centre on the right edge, I'm not sure why everyone keeps discussing it it's a certainty. For the betterment of the side our right edge defence needs reinforcing and with Guth his reads are spot on, the problem is our injuries aren't allowing us to form the relevant defensive combinations required. Hoffmans copped a bagging on here but he's been let down defensively by both Taka and Avua. Takas lateral movement is shot it's time he plays on the edges. Hoffman , Gutho will form a handy partnership injury permitting.
    • Spot on Bup.

    • I keep changing my mind Bup. I understand at right centre he bolsters our dreadful right side defence but will that hinder is ability to run from dummy half on Semi"s side where he has set up Semi so well over recent weeks? Fullback, swapping with Bevan on the wing, still allows him a roving commission to run from dummy half at any time at any place on the field. Taka, Aav"a and Hoffman all seem to have difficulty reading defence. Are we needing another right centre? Always enjoy reading your detailed thoughts

    • Makes sense but gutho appears to be better on the left.
    • BA encourages Semi, French and Guth to roam Tragic as long as basic structure is adhered to BA has no problems with players playing what they see. In an era of heavily structured , block running attacks it's the teams with attacking variety that will win premierships in the short term. Poppa brought up Guthos dummy half running last night and he's right he's brilliant when he gets in there. I don't believe playing centre will have a negative impact on this part of his game though. The more he gets the ball isolating defenders the better he'll be it's why I'm looking forward to Normz coming back. I sense our for and against is about to improve out of sight.
    • Always making sense BUP.

    Gower injured
    Hoffman injured

    I think Kaysa will play
    Norman is a better then 50% of playing

    I would have Gutherson at centre
    Avau'a on wing
    Avau'a brings the ball back very strongly on the wing so leave him on the wing

"Then again, Ryles has surprised us. We both said last year Tuivaiti more likely sees no FG in 2025 and will play Flegg to Cup. He debuts Round 1 hahaha."

"Though where is that. Logically for Twidle, 5/8 was his only option. For some reason it seems the club only saw him as a Fullback. Lorenzo and Fletcher are our future at 5/8. Maybe Bamblett and Rasati as well who knows.

"I have been wrong before lol.
I thought MA would be much better than what his career is right now. I thought Alamadine would be a much better winger but I feel he has made minimal progression since we won SG ball in 2023. Ethyn Martin, I got no idea…"
