Gordon was good but his height is an issue. He could not out jump his man to cover the 2bombs in a row down his side in the 2nd half. He was against Izzie which is hard in itself but like the Panthers, our short blokes may get found out under the high ball. I was thinking last night that if Cov was on that wing he would have been able to out jump his man in defence and take his world famous 2 hand aussie rules style mark. I know people say Cov is slow but his defence is great and we needed some of that on the wing last night.
for the first time since his injury I thought 'cov would be useful now'. I'm sure Gordo will be fine though, he is only young and Izzy puts most people to shame in those contests. He did enough to disrupt it once, shame the penalty went against us (which was complete balls).
For me the biggest disappoint was how much we lost by considering we looked pretty competitive. Second biggests disappointment was Timmy's game but I'm far from calling from his head yet. Biggest pros were Tupou really firing up and the team really muscling up in D for patches like they used to in 08, especially after that penalty goal
