Gordon was the difference...

[ism22]

Thought I'd put it out there - Gordon made a big difference for Parra the other night. Subtle, but Parra scored lots of tries off poor defendive reads.

Roosters? All our tries were pretty darn spectacular! I thought we had to work hard for them. This was partly because our attack s*x but also... Gordon was solid in defence (especially without Radradra, which gave them a tired, ad-hoc backline).

Not a superstar athlete, but his head's Origin standard. IMO his defence will help clinch the close ones fornus next season. I'm starting to get quite happy about his signing.

Sorry but he's too old and is likely to age significantly during the off season.Sydney's sub tropical weather is bad for ones skin.

Apparently Mini is moving to Rome and staring in a mini series called "The Counterweight" leaving Gordon the responsibility of grooming Mitchell.

The difference was the kicking game in the 20. Inexperience in defending those grubbers is what cost us.
That sort of thing I can cop

[Johnny Tobin]

His experience would be a definite bonus.

With gordon at fullback, Mitchell can play centre with SKD the otter centre. Manu, Ferguson , Toupo or Copley can fill the wing positions, although I'm not keen on Copely taking a spot away from Manu .

[Mickie Lane]

After playing the whole season this year at FB in FG & all his his junior footy playing FB why would they move Latrell to centre or wing?
Next years centres & wingers will be the same guys that are playing there this season with the addition of Gordon who IMO will play wing & kick the goals.

Backline for 2017

1. Mitchell
2. Gordon
3. SKD/Copley
4. Fergusson/Copley
5. Fergusson/Copley/Manu.
6. Keary/Hastings
7. Pearce/Hastings
