Watching the game last night and the speed of a Trai fuller, we definitely have the slowest fullback in the comp. Gutho does a lot of good things and is safe under the high ball but his lack of speed is a major issue. Could probably get away with Gutho at fullback if you surround him with speed but everyone around him is also slow. 🤣
Ryles first move is to look for a speedy fullback in the mould of a Kini, Fuller or Tuapiki from Nz.

100% agree with you there!
Before Talagi started this season, last few seasons I had been saying for us to switch Gutho with Dylan Brown, as Gutho has 5/8 experience and DB was a good runner, great speed and could have been x-factor from the back.
Brad Arthur was too stubborn always "chasing the collision" like an idiot and that's what cost the eels moving up and being a consistent team. I hope with Ryles he understands what is needed with the squad, remove plenty of dead wood, lazy players and change the way our team plays moving forward.
Easily slowest. And always loses metres on a kick return.he can say what he likes, reality is, he can no longer play fullback
I expect us to get carved up by the Titans back 5 this weekend. Ryles should be looking to raid this roster.
I reckon Ryles would tbe faster than Gutho . By the time he arrives to try and stop a try , their kicker is kicking their conversion . So many times a try Iis scored wide he's not even in the frame . Clint Plodderson easily the slowest and probably slowest if you include the NSW Cup too .
Yes by far the slowest and with his poor passing game he is causing issue with the attack when he comes into play. However with Penisini being a snail along with wonder boy not being that quick either ...we have big issues for 25. The game is built on speed more so now then any other period look at the Dolphins ....not a top tier roster (except farnsworth) on paper but a team built on speed. None of our centres have any creativity or can score out of nothing and we have the worst finishers. SImmonson is our quickest player and now after the knee reconstruction who knows now.
💯 This ☝️! Could you imagine how Reece Walsh would go behind th Eels powderpuff pack!! He only gets that amount of space because the Broncos actually have a forward pack that usually dominates, a running 5/8 who creates space, and strike centres with once that attribute to defensive misreads by opposition sides!
Wiz, I keep telling you that Guth didn't mean to shoot your dog, he was definely aiming at the duckboard of your boat when the shark came up and grabbed you and the dog, bad luck for the dog but the brain injuries you suffered don't look so bad now!
PS is it true you only fish for agenda's now?
Take it up with almost every podcaster or blogger on the world wide webby machine plopper. Pretty much everyone with eyes is discussing how Flufferson is over playing his hand , is fucking up our attack , pissing off referees and just genuinely being a poor leader . If I have an agenda then so does the other 90% of league followers . Only blind faith-full or the retarded are still pretending he's adequate .
💯agree - Guthos days are numbered at fullback.. The game is so fast now. Has to be in the 17 somewhere though!
Gutho should be playing centre next season, definitely lacks that yard of speed both in attack and defense
