[Resurrected] Gordon Chan Kum Tong

[The Who]

Did anyone see this after the game the chocolates and $50’s draped around his neck must be a cultural thing.

His dummy half work looked promising. In defence I noticed him getting pushed back, couldn't stop the opposition without others helping. He'll improve in defence but that will be his big challenge, looks very good in other areas.

That’s the exact reason why he hasn’t been picked, his defence holding up the middle. His service is great and is a real running asset but once he gets his defence right he will be in our 17.

Same as preseason. Looks sharp in attack but needs to work on his defence.

Beautiful story.
Gordon is similar in stature to Reed Mahoney who is an excellent hooker. Let's hope he can continue to develop.

I really hope that next season the team has 2 x hookers.

Croker has punched above his weight for such a long time and got better each season. If Gordon comes in and takes the heat off him, does some running from dummy half it will give the team so much more variety and potency.

It looked really good yesterday!

When he came on he ran the forwards onto the ball beautifully, we were fast and direct ,I did notice him getting pushed back a bit in D , but you imagine him with the 3 or 4 starting front rowers we have out getting that roll on (not that I think Sippers in particular didn't play well) ,the D becomes a bit easier .We will see how he goes again at 14 on Friday but I saw enough to say he should have the 14 locked down next year .And as me and a few other good judges have said Koula smashed it at 1 .I would love to have known how many running meters he had, have to be 250 +. If only we had tried that earlier, for as good as Garrick is as a 1 back up ,you can go back to Koula s game for Tonga at 1 and it was there for all to see ,anyways better late than never Siebs I say.
Looking forward to finish off the season with a win over our feeder club

I think koula ran for about 295m

wow that's great meters .If Garrick had been fit and playing centre yesterday ,the dogs probably miss out of a few of their try's after running around Parker etc .Koula is a natural 1 and s/b the replacement for TT if he goes down again.

That's only up to round 11 though isn't it?

There's been a lot said about his defence over the preceding months and I suspect that's the reason why he's been held back, as he progresses I expect so too will his defence

Showed some toe from dummy half with that break tonight. High ceiling for this kid. If he can up his D then Froggy will be under serious pressure by mid 2024.

Not sure Croker will be under serious pressure as such,as it’ll take GCKT a while to be able to handle 80 minutes but hopefully they’re both in the 17 and Croker won’t look as cooked by the 60 minute mark

 

[Marto1970]

Not to many hookers play 80min I think Croker and Gordy will make a good combination next year

ha ha..it was like a u7s game, which kid hasn't scored yet.

 

[IQofalimabean]

A defensive hooker in the first half and an offensive one against tired defenders in the second. It might help manly fix its capitulation issues in the second half. The engine room has been Manly's biggest problem in the past few years.

A new-look squad for them, quite a few missing from the side that played the World Cup final (including Kelma and Aloai).
They've also picked that young Storm kid who made a sizzling debut late in the year.
