Gutherson to the Dragons 👍 one it’s good to see he didn’t come here (sorry Eddie), two at least there is some movement on the transfer landscape.

The obvious thought is that this is not a person with a crocodile roll attitude! That doesn't fit Richo's narrative.
But he is the quality of player we need to sign. I guess it all depends on where Luai feels May is at and how he fits Benji's philosophy (he has already said similar comments about the game not being all of him).
For me, the release of this article and its contents are all a little convenient and serves to benefit Roosters. TBH I thikn its pretty low. If its true/real then the only people who could have leaked this information to the media are Terrell (unlikely) or the people directly involved at the Roosters and that is a low act IMO and also IMO deliberate. Remember Cleary's comments about Luai when he was considering paying him of $1M to come here, directly saying it wasnt a good idea, it reminds me of that,
Bottom line is his form on the field was excellent and better than anything we had including a bloke we were offering $900K to. If thats his form when his heart isnt in it, Id take that as a baseline and hope that surrounding him with Luai, Fainus, Turuva etc gets his heart back into it.
Get him Richo.
It is concerning what May has said in the interview but the 2 times he quit he was very young & still maturing & learning what it takes to be successful. I am not as huge a fan of him as some but at 25 he has his best in front of him. I wouldn’t be breaking the bank to sign him but if we’re keen, and I hope we are as we need another middle, then I’d hope whatever interviews take place they address these quotes & his desire to become a better player etc. We need to be sure he’s 100 percent up for the fight because if there is even a tiny doubt then we can’t do it.
Nailed it, Rusty.
The Tigers don't have a good record of handling problem children
I’m genuinely excited by the chance we get May and Hetherington.

For me, his performance last year does not reflect someone that wasn't putting in, he averaged over 110m and had a 97% tackle efficiency which was better than twal.
He has the ability to play 50-60mins, I would still sign him after thinking about it.

MUCH prefer May
Well, if we get Hetherington there’s no place for him.
and vice versa. Who do you think we need more, a big body big minutes prop or a smaller bodied prop/lock? IMO we need the big body big minute prop more and thats May. I would hate to miss out on May by signing Hetherington.

May needs to be the priority.

I'm not overly interested in Hetherington.
I agree but there is still some concern there & that needs to be addressed.For me, his performance last year does not reflect someone that wasn't putting in, he averaged over 110m and had a 97% tackle efficiency which was better than twal.
