Clint Gutherson's bold move to the Dragons without his family for pre-season training has raised eyebrows, but also shown his commitment and leadership qualities to new coach Shane Flanagan.
The decision to leave Parramatta after being deemed surplus to requirements has surprised many, but Gutherson's determination to start afresh in Wollongong speaks volumes about his character.
In a daring move, Gutherson has joined forces with the Dragons following Ben Hunt's departure, with plans to bring his family down once settled in his new abode.
Despite a challenging season with the Eels due to injury, Gutherson is eager to hit the ground running with his new team, renting a place close to the training facilities to focus on preparing for the upcoming season.
Flanagan has taken notice of Gutherson's dedication and potential for leadership, hinting that the new recruit could be in line for the captaincy role alongside Damien Cook.
"We brought him in to set the standard both on and off the field, and he's already proving his worth," Flanagan remarked, setting the stage for a new era of leadership at the Dragons.
