"That was good to hear although that's irrelevant if they have player options"
"What absolute rubbish. He is more qualified than most to take the job. "
"What a shame. We're in trouble we should go all out for Billy slater. Telling that Bennett said it's an easy part of Sydney to live. Last few years there was so much hope. Back the drawing board "
"To be fair, Parra have never really had a culture of putting in past great players into the coaching role, other than perhaps Ricky Stuart (who had runs on the board at other clubs) and Mick Cronin. Both of those were short term,"

Fuck.
We will be lucky to win another game this year.
Well this makes sense, in the press conference he looked like he had be been emotional in the sheds, eyes were glassy.
See this is the thing, the team can still perform well but they need the key group playing well for 80 mins. We could have won last weekend; and I think if Brown and Sanders have decent games along with the key forwards we can win some games while Gutho is out.
Yes FB is a large hole but the Knights won without Ponga and tbh their halves are not great. No doubt Broncos / Melb will be extremely tough but we faced adversity before in 2016 (cap issue year) without some quality and won games.
Lets not look for bloody excuses as these players need to stand up. Blaize should be FB and lets see how he goes.
Options for Flb are: Blaize, Asi, Russell or Bailey. Would probably go with Blaize to get some reps into him but see what BA does.
Goodbye BA
Gutho is the heart and soul of this team. We're about to find out just how important he is. This could get very, very ugly. Blaize is not the answer to NRL FB in 2024. He's miles away still.
I just hope that this doesn't present an easy excuse to management as to why our season is dusted. If they persist with the status quo I honestly don't think I can watch it anymore.
Indeed. Once he was off last year we fell apart. There's gonna be multiple 40-0 odd scorelines coming up.
It amazes me how undervalued Gutho is by those who aren't Parra fans. I reckon he saves as many tries as he sets up and I don't think there's anyone in our setup (Moses included) who has more influence on whether we win or lose a game than Gutho.
Get ready for some huge scorelines and some dropped heads.
If ppl can't see how much he is to us then they aren't watching Captain.
and as far as him not being captain material ... if a bloody fg player can't see and be affected by his huge on field efforts for us and react accordingly well just maybe they are the ones that need a boot ... it's not Guth
Gutho hasn't been right all season. Why was he kicking on 1 leg last week? Is this why Cini played fb in reserves a few weeks ago?
