NRL great slams idea of Gutherson giving up fullback

'Hype is out of this world': NRL great hoses down suggestion Gutherson should give up fullback spot to Talagi

The NRL legend, Josh Mansour, has poured cold water on the idea that Eels captain Clint Gutherson should hand over the fullback position to rising star Blaize Talagi.

According to Mansour, the attention and excitement around the 19-year-old talent is "out of this world".

With the addition of star recruit Zac Lomax to the mix in 2025, the Eels will face the challenge of balancing the talents of Talagi, Gutherson, and Lomax on the field.

It's a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen, but only time will tell how coach Brett Arthur juggles these players to find the winning formula.
