NRL player’s efforts at dressing up mocked on social media

Clint Gutherson may be having the best season of his career on the field, but his form in other areas off-field is certainly lacking.

The Parramatta Eels fullback has been relentlessly mocked on social media after attending a team function in interesting formal attire.

The 22-year-old was photographed on the red carpet prior to the event with his girlfriend.

The Parramatta Eels fullback was spotted wearing a poorly executed tie without a windsor knot.

‘The only time I have been disappointed with King Guth, this effort with his tie is extremely poor. You’re better than this Gutho!!’ a fan commented on the image.

He attended the club’s annual Ken Thornett Awards night on Monday with his partner, and fans were quick to pull attention to his tie. 

The photo was shared on the Parramatta Eels Facebook page, where people first started to notice the cult hero’s very untidy tie.

Despite his apparent inability to tie a tie, Gutherson has been fantastic for Parramatta this season. The cult hero is in the top ten for points in the NRL, before injuring his ACL in July

‘Someone needs to invest in those elastic ties that stay done up haha’ an observer wrote.

‘It’s like he’s always in a rush. Check out the tie effort,’ another fan said.

Gutherson responded to the image through his Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon, saying his public school education was the reason for him not being able to tie a tie.

‘For everyone asking about the tie,I have no idea how to do a tie, one of the guys got me a beauty,Kind regards public school kid with no tie,’ Gutherson said. 

Despite his inability to tie a tie, Gutherson has been fantastic for Parramatta this season.

The cult hero is in the top ten for points in the NRL, registering 11 tries and breaking the line 14 times.

He injured his ACL in late July which unfortunately ended his season, vastly impacting the Eels’ premiership hopes. They currently sit fourth a week away from the finals.
