“Each player brings different strengths to our team, and Clint has certainly proven his leadership skills and deserves to be rewarded for it.

Clint will have the opportunity to develop as a leader under the tutelage of two experienced captains in Tim and Beau,” said Arthur.

Gutherson only made his comeback from injury in last week’s loss to Canberra.

“It’s a massive honour to share the captaincy of this club and I’m looking forward to leading our team for the rest of the season,” Gutherson said.
