Parramatta’s Finals chances have taken a massive blow with invaluable utility Clint Gutherson ruled for the season after suffering a ruptured ACL in his team’s 17-16 win over Wests Tigers.

“This is disappointing news for Clint and the team as he has been a strong contributor so far this season,” Coach Brad Arthur said.

“We wish him all the best in his recovery and I am sure he will be back stronger then ever next season.”
