Gutho the right choice

I do believe we need a forward leader at the club but I really feel Gutho is the right man to be one of our captains. His effort is phenomenal and he leads by example. He’ll never be a Darren Lockyer but I believe he is gritty, tough and never gives up and he’s what we want to hold up as what the blue and golds are about. He has been everywhere these last few weeks. We have the core of a good side now with Nakura and Mahoney certain starters next year and Brown, Gutho, Hayne, Tepai etc all running into some form. I know it was a scrappy win against an ordinary opp but we have some hope for 2019 people. Heads up!

  • Needs to believe in himself more, be more dominant. Can play tho, big heart

  • For me to put my head up we need a klemmer or taupau or both

  • Fair call
  • Like Josh reynolds was at bulldogs, a vital part of team despite not being in top couple players. Hopefully he gets confidence back and with better fowards pack next year finds previous form.
  • Course he is.

  • He will be back to his best next season, just pray he remains injury free
  • For me, 2 captains on the field need to be very much attuned to the direction of the game and its flow having a back and a forward is essential in a dual role, and ideally both are 80 minute players.  Gutho has been progressing well as far as his role is concerned but who should be the other one? 

    Out of the current squad of forwards, I would be looking at Brown as the candidate, he leads by example which is a #1 need, he needs along with Gutho the other Cap, to be able to learn how to approach the refs and earn their respect, that must also be seen as a priority need and that will help in earning the refs respect.

  • Gutho does for captaincy what Rolf does for modern art.

  • We need a forward leader.
  • Napa.
