Has gutherson won the fullback spot

As the title ask in your opinion has gutherson done enough to snatch the fullback spot off bevan. If moses came next week and when bevan is back from injury where does he go? I know it is now looking unlikely moses will come early just curious on people input who would be the better fullback option for the club to go forward, personally id like guth to stay there and krisome and french to line up on the right side1 gutherson2 semi3 jennings4 krisome5 french6 moses7 normanTaka to a bench utilty or drop off. I would hate to see taka not make the 17 but i am unsure parra has room on its bench for him with edwards back

  • Not good in defence. I think his positioning and commitment to tackle was a bit off.
  • I think Gutho is a wonderful player but he's a centre - that's where he should go next year AND stay!!!
    • Yep, centre or not at all.

    • At the moment Gutho is a better fullback because of Bev's lack of size and unwillingness to run the ball. In my opinion Gutho is our best outside back weather it be at fullback centre or 5/8 he must be in the team
  • It creates a conundrum, French imo isnt big enough for wing, hes a serious liability there imo, where does he fit in if guth takes the FB spot.

    • He scored a bucket load of tries on the wing last year though.
    • Excatly imagine if we for nofoualuma and he played right centre bevan right wing be a more lethal combination then leipana
  • Why not ?
    I think if Gutherson plays as well as he did on Monday, considering he hasn’t even trained the pre season out the back, there's no reason why he can't cement the number 1 jumper.

    Especially when Auva'a was our best centre.
    Gutherson deserves reward if he does the job. He's also a much better defender than french.
    • He also seems to have a better vision for attacking plays at fullback set up 2 tries. I know he has been there for 2 games and ×lwe are.getting way ahead of ourselves here but he played very well if french is out for a few more weeks and gutherson plays like that it definitely gives BA some desicions to make. I feel even if it happens next year with moses in at 5/8 and gutherson in fullback it gives parra three genuine playmaking options, taking the pressure off both norman and moses and make it harder for defence to rush the halves ( sort of like coote when cows won the comp not saying gutherson is as good as coote)
  • I really rate Gutho as a fullback, and think he should be given the opportunity of staying there if he wants to.  This is one player I'd pander to if I was BA.
