hahahahaha you're kidding yourself

I'll agree on the surface Gordon was *****t .
But if anyone with a RL Brain sat back and delved a little bit deeper , He wasn't as bad as the game circumstances made out .
2 very difficult passes weren't held when attacking the gap . CRUCIFY .
1 dragged over the sideline CRUCIFY .
1 missed conversion CRUCIFY .
Stripped intelligently CRUCIFY
Anything else I missed , probably.... CRUCIFY .

Early in game , dangerous stepping run .
1 classic tackle on a break away one on one . ( by the way , he is the safest fullback in our club on the quarter line defensively one on one . Done that numerous times at Sharks ) .
Barba like run in the first half amongst traffic .
Couple of nice runs and passes in attack , last one nearly setting up Feki try in extra time .
If either Holmes or Barba experienced his mishaps , the forum would just cop it sweet . ( scapegoat hunters as usual )
Snowy has made his call on Gordon and Gallan and the sheep/wolves follow .
Lutes scores one try and is a God . Beale and Gordon offer truck loads more yet get singled out .
I am happy to be the black sheep regarding Gordon . Skets - Tragic combo , BWB and Snowy will have to eat their words before the season out . Because Gordon will prevail AND do some match winning stuff , the wheel will turn .
If you really want to know why we struggled to put them away it was our 5th tackle kicking options .
ONLY Ennis can hols his head up proudly .

His job as a support player is to catch those odd passes. When he gets an offload from a front rower at pace its not gunna land on his chest.

Stop sticking up for him he is our 4th best fullback after gardner. He is not up to it anymore.

He got dragged over the side line from 8 metres in. He could have hit the deck early or lifted his legs.
What about his 40-20 save. Hopeless.

The on field ref was wearing the exact same socks as the Canberra players - how is that acceptable practice?

So, moving forward we need to win at least 4 of the last 7 games to make the finals. Can we do it?

Dogs (away, Sunday afternoon)
Warriors (away, Saturday afternoon)
Cowboys (home, Saturday night)
Storm (home, Monday night)
Tigers (home, Saturday night)
Eels (away, Saturday afternoon)
Eagles (home, Sunday afternoon)

Just because you've made 15,644 posts doesn't mean you know what your talking about . 4th to Gardner , give me a break . Perhaps Parramatta should be paying Gardner $250K plus instead .

Give me 1 reason gordon should be in the run on side over any other player then. In fullback or wing

IF WE DO.....there is going to be a lot of drinking done in the next few months....more than normal that is....I would say we would have 2 of those games tied up and will have to grind for the rest...but I was inspired by our ACTUAL passing of the ball tonight

I don't really know how the game came to go down to the wire. We ran rampant over the top of them in the first half. The no try on full time? If that isn't a try then I don't know what is. A dreadful decision.

Anyhow, a much better game than last week, even if we had lost it in golden point.

Seriously u have no idea ! After Gardner ... A guy who has disappeared from first grade ....

Good joke ! :take that

That was clearly a joke. My point is gordon should not have a place in our side in either wing or fullback over any other player in a fit squad.
Egg still hasnt given me a reson why he should. Why he should be in our run on
