Clinton Gutherson

Parramatta Eels - Fullback

Clinton Gutherson made his NRL debut for Manly in 2013 in round 26, scoring a try and showing potential. Fast forward to 2017, after suffering a few injuries only allowing him to play a handful of games, a second chance at the Eels would see him flourish.

This young gun has been outstanding and consistent for the Eels both statistically and ethically. Heโ€™s racked up a total of 193 tackles (avg of 13.8 per game) in 14 games. Heโ€™s also bagged himself 7 tries, 4 try assists, has 1,337 ARM, and 11 line breaks.

He stands well and statistically holds his ground against the top and experienced FBโ€™s in our game, deservedly, earning himself a spot on this list.
