Rumour going around that Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan are about to be charged with indecent sexual assault, after a night out in Cronulla.

no way would ryan get it, gordon over ryan any day. He played great, one game, against the eels.

hayne, gordon stewart and co are all comparative, ryan isn't in that picture.

Just on pure experience, gordon would get the nod.

His form has been amazing the past 5-6 weeks, and I actually wouldn't be surprised if his name gets mentioned to Laurie if both Dugan and Fergo are turned down.

I have visions of Uate fumbling his way through. I'd rather Merrit at fb.

Morris would likely go to fb, wouldnt he?

I seriously doubt Dugan will be dropped. Think we will just be looking for a winger, but then again the precent has been set with Teo, so likely Fergo will play unless the investigation wraps up quickly.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be picked if fit, but Gordon is not in the same class as the elite fullbacks.

Fair enough,

He is closer then Beau is, and he has the potential barring injury, his stats have been amazing the last 2 years, with limited game time. Look at his tackle busts and line breaks.

This year, i think you have to remember all the new combinations, plus all the other crap that they have had to deal with, takes time, dugan could do it because he it a better fullback, but i still think Gordon has potential and is no where near his best at the moment.

Don't disagree with what you're saying SJTB, he's a very good fullback, but for mine he's a step below the names I mentioned.

My post assumes all if the above are injured. Which I think they are. There isn't a fit FB in naw outside of Dugan, so if Dugan goes, they'll be converting a winger. I think Ryan would convert as well as Merritt TBH.
