Recently, Cooper Cronk, one of the most respected figures in the NRL, has criticised Parramatta’s recruitment of Clint Gutherson. The former Melbourne Storm halfback believes that the Eels have made a mistake in signing Gutherson, who he believes is not a good enough player to lead the team.
Cronk believes that Gutherson is not the right fit for the team and that the Eels should have signed a more experienced player. He believes that Gutherson is not ready to take on the responsibility of being the leader of the team and that he will struggle to make an impact.
The criticism has been met with mixed reactions from fans and pundits alike. Some believe that Cronk is right and that Parramatta have made a mistake in signing Gutherson. Others believe that Gutherson is a talented player who will be able to lead the team and take them to the next level.
It is clear that Cronk’s opinion carries a lot of weight in the NRL and his criticism of Gutherson has certainly caused a stir. Whether or not Gutherson will be able to prove Cronk wrong remains to be seen. What is certain is that Parramatta have taken a risk in signing him and only time will tell if it pays off.
No matter what happens, it is clear that Cronk’s opinion has sparked debate and discussion about Gutherson’s ability and whether or not he is the right fit for Parramatta. It will be interesting to see how this situation develops in the coming months and whether or not Gutherson can prove Cronk wrong.
