Parramatta are set to table Clint Gutherson a "make-or-break deal", reports theย Daily Telegraph.
It is understood that the revised contract would be the most the Eels are willing to offer Gutherson and will therefore determine whether or not the skipper hits the open market.
Gutherson is reportedly seeking a deal worth $750,000 a year and will begin negotiations with other clubs should Parramatta offer anything less.
โThe ball is in their court,โโ Guthersonโs manager Sam Ayoub told theย Daily Telegraph.
โWe are not in a hurry and it is all up to them right now. We are waiting on Parramatta. We are expecting a new offer to come in and hopefully it reflects is worth as both a player and a leader. I spoke to Mark OโNeill and he said he would send something over early in the week.โโ
Gutherson rejected Parramatta's initial two-year offer worth $450,000 a season, which got upped to $500,000.
The Daily Telegraphย is reporting that a rival club has already indicated that they would be prepared to pay Gutherson $1.5 million over two years.
If parra havenโt offered at least $650,000 they are mad. He said he wants to stay and would prolly take under IMO but $500,000 ๐ come on
souffffs the “TRANSIT LOUNGE” will snap up Gutherson next season for sure, Bennett said he is going away from souffffffs “TRANSIT LOUNGE” policy of letting 12 players go to sign 12 no hopers. He said he is going for quality rather than quantity They have decided to take a leaf out of the Roosters strategic policies in recruitment. ๐คฃ๐๐——๐ช๐๐—–๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ
Might be the roosters who have offered the 1.5 mill? Where you gonna play gutho at woody?
Someone paying overs and itโs not Parramatta?
Sounds fishy mr Ayoub.
The kids got talent, but 550-600k max as a half decent utility and back 5 cover.
Not in the realm of Ponga/RTS/Teddy as a FB, emergency back up standard as a half, and too small to defend up the middle as a 9.
Could squeeze the young lad in on the flank, our other two wingers Morris and Hall have just received their senior citizen cards and get free medical check ups. Although I can see Hall having a big impact at the backend of the season. A big strong fellow.
Gutho is a real good entertaining player who needs to roam the field. Probably fullback is his best shot. Parra should try hard to keep him otherwise I can see Soufffffs claiming him and moving Johnston to the wing.๐ช๐๐
