Nrl Physio reporting that Gutho has been getting his knee drained of fluid and dealing with soreness and swelling in the knee he had surgery on. Obviously not a good sign and he's not close to 100%.

Yep
Simonsson for me and just slot Sivo back on the wing.
If gutho knee is gone then move him into the front line. Move someone else to fb. Carty is injured and should be rested.
Could easily move Sean Russell or Talagi to Fb and try Gutho at 6 if the knee is bothering him. Shall see
Agree! Everyone said Russell was a good fb coming through. Interesting to note cini has been moved to Fb in Reggies
As an academic, I feel I'm an expert in knowing when "it's all academic". And in the case of Gutho, it's all academic, he is clearly busted, evident in his grimacing and in the fact he is not running any sweep plays. Also a case of "it's all academic" is that an Eels backline without Moses and Gutho, and backup Asi out and Sivo dropped, is simply put an accident waiting to happen. We already had very little backline depth. We are staring down a debutant half of debutant fullback or both, and Reggie's have been hopeless, so our debutants or 2-3 gamers won't be setting anything on fire, except maybe our chances of avoiding the spoon. Manly is going to sweep to the edges and wings and Eels and we may be in for a cricket score.
Im pretty certain the plan is to play lomax at fullback at some point at a relatively early stage of his contract. Could be next year could be year after
Note Talagi is out of the Reggie's side for the Sunday game. Withdrawn due to injury or to avoid injury and he replaces Asi in Round 7?
He was not even named for Reggies in the first place.
Gutho will not want to miss a game but perhaps the club just needs to step in and give him a two week break.
