I've held this line for a while now. I'm not unhappy with Gordon at fullback at all, but it would be better for the team to make the change.i think its time for gards at fullback and flash and beau on the wings... thats the best way forward.
we have given flash his fullback money, he deserves a pay rise, but gards is an attacking spark, and then we would have 2 class wingers
I just can't see us going anywhere with the current arrangement. Gardner has a few faults (overstated on here IMO), but at least he provides some attacking flair. He provides far more than any of our wingers do. I'd much rather bring him in and give ourselves a chance of going somewhere in the finals. We need some unpredictability and flair. We have no attacking spark whatsoever. Some people may see Gardner as a risk, but it's a risk that provides a potential upside at least. Our current backline has risk written all over, but with no potent attacking force. WE need someone who can create or make the most of a situation other than Carney. Moving Gordon to the wing shores up that position too. We could play Lewis in the centres to fix that area too.
How is Gardner going at the moment anyway? I watched the NSW Cup game 2 weeks ago (I think), where it was his first game back. Didn't see the whole game but from what I saw he was probably at about a pass mark. Nothing bad, but not too much spark anyway. But that's to be expected coming back from injury. He only had limited opportunities as well. Apparently he had a good game this weekend though?
