Should we target Valentine Holmes instead of Gutho?

Probably asking for about the same amount $700k+ when he gets back. Which I believe will be later this year.

Rep player with plenty of years ahead of him.

Maybe we have started talks with him, that would be nice to put the pressure on Gutho. Manly can then pay Gutho the $500k they probably only have and put him at Centre with no captaincy.

  • We can only dream. Val is twice the player Gutho is. 

    Gutho is all effort but he’s pretty slow on those dodgy knees.  I personally think it’s a joke that we would consider paying anything more than 600k for him but my opinion is irrelevant- not my money. 

  • Are we able to sign Valentine after June 30? I'm guessing we can as he's coming from O/S. We could potentially offload Gutho earlier if anyone wants him

    • probaby not as he was contracted to the sharks on nov 1

       

  • I think he would be asking more than 700k

    • He would have been out of the game for a year and there aren't too many clubs with a heap of cash

      • I hope your correct fuuuui!!! If 1.9 @3years is correct this is a good offer for gutherson  

  • Would only be fair. If he doesn't want to accept our offer to test the market for better ones, then the club should also test the market for better players with that money. Make it a risky gamble to take for Gutho if we then offer that money to someone else instead.

  • You could offer him the captaincy as a bargaining chip?

    • I think if cronulla keep losing and we keep winning then should be a big enough chip as it is lol. 

  • We need to think hard about what we want out of our captain. Who wants a captain like Gutho who can't get through a year and underperforms every second game plus drags us through the media week after week.

    That's not captain material.
