In short:

Josh Mansour doesn't believe Eels skipper Clint Gutherson should immediately give up his fullback spot to Blaize Talagi.

Mansour suggested the hype surrounding the 19-year-old Talagi is "out of this world".

What's next?

The Eels will have to figure out how to fit Talagi, Gutherson and star signing Zac Lomax in the same side in 2025.

NRL great Josh Mansour has hosed down suggestions Parramatta Eels captain Clint Gutherson should automatically cede his fullback spot to young gun Blaize Talagi.

Gutherson has indicated he is willing to do whatever it takes — including playing out of his preferred position — to ensure the Eels retain the 19-year-old Talagi, who is set to be squeezed out of his usual centre spot for the incoming Zac Lomax.

While lauding the 29-year-old's gesture, Mansour said it is one he should not be required to make.
