Gutho re-signs with Parra til the end of 2025 on a reported 750k a season….

Hopefully they pay overs to keep Reed with the bulldogs lurking and struggle to retain Paulo so we can pounce

Seems like a good price for your fullback and captain

Where did you hear that

Being reported everywhere now, read 750k on one of the articles.

Seems a fair price, guessing he stepped down on his $1mil stance lmao

Very good value at 750k

Weird that he was signed for 750, Word was they offered him 800-850-850

Gutho is so over hyped. He is an effort machine and not much else

That's really inaccurate.

He's a very good defender, and an above average ballplayer. Last season alone he made try saving tackles in close games that Parra ended up winning. He's also good culturally for a club that usually has issues with ego and in-fighting.

$750,000 is fair and you're off your head if you think otherwise. Considering he's a rung below Tommy and Teddy, it's a fair contract.

I don't think CFK is saying his 750K is not a fair reflection of the player, I think he is saying that Gutho is generally over-hyped. "King Gutho" and all that nonsense. That stupid dance thing he does when he scores. The reality is Gutho will keep Parramatta in games through his tenacity and effort, but he's not going to deliver knockout blows to the opposition, he's just not that dynamic a player. And IMO the more work he continues to have to do to keep Parramatta's line intact, the less and less energy he has to spend on attack.

Gutho is like the Lleyton Hewitt of rugby league - real dogged, respectable effort; overall lacks pure talent or a major weapon.

I agree with CP. King Gutho and the dance etc is just a personality, no one is hyping him for that. He and everyknow knows he's a rung below Teddy/Turbo and definitely 750K reflects that.

He hypes himself, so do Parramatta fans.

I see nothing wrong with a guy showing some personality and hyping himself up. If his personality helps sell memberships and tickets, then Parra and the NRL can hype him up even more. Even better for the game!

His talent and tenacity reflects the pricetag. Further, he continuously leads by example in the fitness drills.

I disagree, I think it makes you a target in a physical game like league. He doesn't have the physical presence to back up his swagger, so he cannot and will not dominate his opponents physically; what is left is tenacity and show-pony-ing. Well tenacity is fine, but in my experience the outwardly cocky players always get targeted and found out.

That is typical of Parramatta the last 4-5 years IMO - an over-reliance on self-confidence and flat-track domination of lesser opponents, but ultimately a lack of substance, concentration and mettle to match the best sides.

Apparently Josh Hodgson will be wearing Tigers gear very soon


I am not excited about him at all,3 years ago it would have been fine.All i see him as is another bloke living on his past performances and being overpaid to watch from the sideline

I’m also not excited by this signing if it happens.
Just don’t understand why we can’t sign leadership in younger players who can also provide the on field performance . The game is getting faster, and we need to hire skill and potential skill. Recruiting a 30 plus yo who had a couple of good seasons a couple of seasons ago has not worked for us. Papali’i is the classic profile of the player we should be chasing.

He might hype himself, but Parra fans do something completely different to themselves . . . .

50/50 Half of them think he's the second coming of Christ, The others hate him with a passion.

As you know in this game what you sign for and what you get paid are 2 different things for some. Its called playing the game. The truck is how to achieve it without the rest of the world knowing.

Hmm teams looking good for next year add Hodgson and Bateman we will make the8

This one is more of a suggestion but how would you guys feel about possibly signing Tui Kamikamica from the Storm for 23? Plays Prop and Lock I think he could be a help he’s 6’5 he’s tall and he seems like a good player but tbh he is at Storm and we know most players aren’t the same when they leave but what do you guys think?

He is an upgrade on Musgrove

Would be a good signing. Makes good metres and does his job well. I’d imagine he could easily do what he does for the storm here

I think so too just the last player we signed from the Storm did bad and don’t want that to happen again

Yeah but he was expect to be the star forward.

Haha love how it states due to lack of interest from other clubs 😂

Agree
Would be an under the radar signing
Is it a rumour or just speculation

No he's not....
You've seen the very best of him in a great team.

Musgrove has no where near hit his ceiling, And isn't playing in a great side.

Furthermore, I've seen enough of Musgrove to feel strongly that he is going to be very good for us for the rest of his deal. He's aggressive, good leg speed...
Things we really need in the middle.

I don't feel the need to make excuses for him at all, But he's been injured the whole time he's been here and was out of the game a year prior to that.

I look forward to Zane getting back to his game this year, Ahead of what I'm also predicting will be a year where Tommy really comes on and Stefano improves his game on last year.
We'll basically have another 2 NRL quality Middles available to us with the departure of Russ and a Fit Musgrove.

- All of a sudden, Out middle is doing a little better.

Any update on Hodgson anyone ?
I thought I read that apparently some raiders players were saying he will be missed..
