Clint Gutherson plays rugby league the way it was meant to be played β with every fibre of his being committed to the cause, every tackle an act of defiance, every support run a statement of intent. He is the embodiment of team-first football, the player whose try-saving tackles and inspirational effort lift those around him to heights they did not know they could reach. Released by the Parramatta Eels, Gutherson signed a three-year deal with the St George Illawarra Dragons from 2025, where he immediately earned the co-captaincy. His influence extends far beyond his individual statistics, residing instead in the intangible qualities that make winning cultures.

Player Profile
Through 190 games and 65 tries across two clubs, Gutherson has built a career on the qualities that never go out of fashion: effort, determination, and an unshakeable belief in the team above the individual. His support play, his defensive reads, and his ability to inspire through sheer will make him one of the most respected leaders in the competition. In 2026, Gutherson co-captains the Dragons with the same passion that made him a favourite at Parramatta, a fullback whose value can never be measured in numbers alone.
