They act like Guymer is some lazy bloke with a high ego. He is trying his best. Half the time he was covering for Moretti and Tuilagi who were too lazy to even be in a position to make the tackle attempt
I think Guymer at this stage in attack offers not that much but he is far from a liability. At the moment that's what we need as in defence he is solid.
This was Russell a year ago. This time last year more than half This site said Russell was RM cup level. It's like people forget that young players get better with age and experience. For a lot of young players 50 games is about the mark players excel.
He's already had some good games in first grade and he's not even 22. With age and experience comes consistency. Guymer will be a quality first grader.

We've discussed this on the podcast before. Guymer is 21 and has managed to play first grade since the age of 19. Liam Martin didn't even debut until he was 22 and was 24 when he made his Origin debut.
Sweet Jesus, Guymer has played fewer than 30 first grade games and is still years away from his physical peak. He competes hard when he's out on the field and that's the best base for a long NRL career.
You can knock players and say they are not good enough. But it's the mob mentality that if we lose, someone is to blame. If that player is out we need someone else.
Waqa Blake was that for years, then Sivo, then Penisini,now Guymer.
Not saying it's all not justified, some is but it gets too much. There were games where Sivo scored 4 tries and played well and on FB comments people said "drop Sivo" as it showed we lost. They obviously didn't watch the game, just following to crowd to act like they know what they are on about.
"Metcalf is a very good player of high potential. However, 40 odd games over 5 to 6 years with an asking price of 1 million. Forget about it! On the plus side sua may get released early."
"Also, ask yourself, why is Guymer signed until 2028 yet our only decent prop going forward in Sam Tuivaiti only signed until 2027 and can negotiate in November
There's something wrong there"

Guymer 21st man
So Guymer is now the brunt of jokes since Penisini is out. New punching bag activated.

You forget EA. Players 20-30 on our squad should be equivalent to Australian internationals or we are failing with our squad and they are useless.

Apparently if the young blokes don't don't take the game by the scruff of the neck they just suck....harsh crowd
