Gordon Chan Kum Tong

[Budgie]

I think Manase was better in attack... not sure about defense..but that ship has passed and I am liking what I see in Gordon

I think Gordie's a better organiser and his attack is still pretty sharp. Defence good too.

 

[Ranga]

I dont think it's panic stations if Gordie remains on a development. He has looked great but its early. No harm in him having a stint at Blacktown.

And if Croker gets injured we would likely get an exemption anyway

Totally agree. An NRL season is long and tiring, especially for a young guy playing hooker. I actually like the idea of him spending a bit of time in reserves to keep learning his trade against adults (he was injured a lot last year from memory), and having him come into the team later in the year as that x-factor that can take our game to the next level.

His time will come, but it doesn’t have to be Round 1.

Could you imagin the uproar from the woke left if that movie was released today? I agree and love the movie, i couldn't see anyone other than Clint playing that character.

what about this show:

 

[manlyfan76]

Was it "high plains rider" where he drags a women into a barn then rapes the women and she starts 'enjoying' it?
Classic writing and directing from good ole boy Clint.

 

[KaZa]

Sg ball lost today. Mentions latu fainu in our 30 but he's nowhere near our side atm. Why don't we just switch him and Gordy

 

[Eagle 1]

Honestly I’d be punting someone to get him into the 30. Maybe just let Parra take Morgan?

Anyway by seasons end he’ll be our permanent 9..

What's the situation with Roache is he on a train and trial or in the 30man squad, or more to the point can he be replaced. I believe he's out injured atm.

 

[Mitch]

Hopefully @The Wheel or @Mitch could get the lowdown and/or Cuzzo interviews him.

Still a Development player for 2023 at this stage, guys.

Finally, the club has a genuine hooker! Love froggy but he is still learning the craft and we’re not going to win a comp with a hooker that’s still learning.
Gordon is a remarkable talent. The way he jumps out and engages the defence while getting our forwards on the front foot is something we haven’t had in a long time.

It was very noticeable

I'd love to see gordo and croker used like ballin and lestranger. Let croker do the hard defensive work for the first 25-30 before letting gordo come on and let rip

 

[Darren]

The SG Ball just lost with Latu playing but he was involved in everything try wise and they nearly beat the Raiders who are always strong in juniors. I saw the Ball team last game without Latu and it wasn't pretty.

I 100% agree with the vision however I feel like Weekes makes a perfect #14. If so do you see us getting away with 2 smaller players on the bench?

 

[Highflier]

Everyone’s looking at a nickname for him, and you come up with "Asian saviour", and I don’t think you were going for that (a nickname) Regardless, I love it.

What about GT ?

 

[manly al]

Could have been a bit of a pointer with Zac Fulton playing at 9 for a spell against the Roosters . Weekes obviously has had no trial time there [ 9 ] and can 't see that changing with him being considered as a back up there . Zac also naturally being able to cover back row and Keppie if selected as a 13 can always move to prop . Different matter if Gordie was available from the get go . Lawton returning and match fit will alter the equation again to cover 9 . Will be interesting to see how Roache goes when he is available again .

 

[DSM5]

Zac Fulton is ordinary. Not first grade standard. He may well develop, but just not this year. Send him to Blacktown.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We need to trade someone out , without a replacement, to get him in .

Easier said than done at this point.

 

[Will on the hill]

Only 10 games till Flash will be available and only 1 game till Lawton will be back. Definitely not the end of the world, especially if we can get an exemption for him if Croker is injured.

Hope not he was pretty awful at hooker. Poor Zac.

Morgan (our 8th ranked middle?) could be let go to join his sister in Newcastle (we can pay the freight).

Keep Morgan and we get Millie when our team moves up from tarsha
