Eels worry contract offer won’t stop Clint Gutherson joining ManlyAPRIL 30, 2019
Parramatta are confident he will still stay but there are growing fears that a $100,000 gulf will ultimately split the Eels and captain Clint Gutherson.
The Daily Telegraph has been told Parramatta are reluctant to increase their latest offer of $650,000 a season over three years.
That figure falls short of the four-year $750,000 a season deal Gutherson’s management is seeking.
Further complicating matters is Gutherson’s junior club, Manly, waiting in the wings. Gutherson’s manager, Sam Ayoub, is due to meet Sea Eagles representatives in coming days.
Whether they would be willing to meet Ayoub’s valuation of his client is not clear. Manly will still be operating under a reduced salary cap next season for previous breaches, and have superstar brothers Tom and Jake Trbojevic coming off contract at the end of 2020.
Gutherson would also be unable to play in his preferred fullback position, with Tom Trbojevic having a stranglehold on the No.1 jersey.
That would mean a likely switch to the centres, few of whom can demand such lucrative deals, or five-eighth.

Ayoub sat down with Parramatta head of football Mark O’Neill on Monday afternoon in a continuation of protracted negotiations which have now stretched over six months.
The Eels are adamant they will not repeat previous mistakes in recruitment and retention that have hampered their salary cap.
Gutherson’s camp may even opt to suspend further negotiations to see whether the Eels fullback can pinch a spot in the NSW State of Origin side — further increasing his value.
One rival CEO conceded $750,000 a season was “State of Origin-type money” and, while Gutherson is an undoubted talent and has earned the Eels’ captaincy at just 24, he has also suffered two knee reconstructions in his short career.
Manly have not tabled an official offer but well-placed sources indicate their interest is genuine.

Gutherson is extremely well liked at Parramatta, where he is nicknamed ‘King’.
The Eels believe his No.1 status at Parramatta would slip to fourth string at Manly behind Daly Cherry-Evans and the Trbojevics.
Gutherson’s management want to exhaust all avenues at Parramatta before holding talks with rival clubs. And it’s understood the Eels are open to offering Gutherson a fourth year on his deal to give him further financial security.
Manly would need to shift around their roster and salary cap to make a real play for Gutherson.
The Eels fullback has been mentioned in NSW Origin discussions, but he would be competing for the utility position with incumbent Tyrone Peachey, who, unlike Gutherson, also covers hooker and back row.

650k!! See you Gutho!
I’d rather offer 1mil to swap him for Tommy Turbo! And then get his brother!
choke choke, "waiting to see if Gutho can pinch a spot in the NSW side".... Now thats Ayoubs words for sure. After the Newcastle game performance, he would not be in the top 50 options
If Parra management have half a brain they should set an ultimatium for a decision from Gutherson and secondly start leaking to the press that we're looking at potential post-Gutherson options.
If I had anything to do with recruitment I'd hand the Trbojevic bro's a blanc cheque. That would be the coup d'etat of the century!!!
PFH, I know where you are coming from and to me is tantalising but! To put an ultimatum to him at this point of time will not help the situation in any way at all if anything inflame it. The best option after this weeks game is to have him and his manager meet with the eels GM & CEO, and put the bare facts to him as far as what can be offered, the bit that says they may offer the same money over 4 years is a good idea, although I think make the 4th year an option.
If he gets SOO or other high end type rep selection and plays, then he could get a clause for that to give a bit extra. The manager has to know that for every dollar extra that goes for Gutho may well mean we lose someone else, thing is how many eels players does Ayube have on his list and in the 19 off contract column?
This BS being played out in this papers is starting to p1ss me off. I can’t recall a player’s manager going to such lengths calling in favours from his journo mates just to get a price rise. It’s insane.
Ayoub hasn’t even met with Manly. Not to mention there is absolutely zero chance they could offer more money than Parra given they have DCE and the 2 Trbo brothers on big coin. It simply doesn’t stack up.
As one poster said it’s time the Eels called in a few journalists favours themselves. “Eels interested in X player for Fullback role”.
I can tell you one very recently, Cameron Smith and his management.
You think Brett? Figures weren’t bandied about to this degree at all...this is worse than a public guess the figure competition...it’s bloody ridiculous all over the place. Just a shame we fans have bought in.
