Michel Gordon to the Roosters 2017

[fletch]

I can't believe we are in June and our marquee signing so far for next year is Michael Gordon, boy we have fallen in the space of 9 months.

[Arties Pie]

Perhaps we should realize another "2013" may not be next year or at all or somewhere inbetween considering everything that has transpired.

Hence the Gordon signing. I guess there's not much around the market these days

There's SFA available this year but atleast he can play wing and kick goal if need be so we can piss off Toops that's a bonus in itself.

I think the powers that be were depending on getting one or both of the big names we were expecting...we got neither : (

[Bigchook]

I'm calling Norman will join him next yr.

[2026]

Who cares that he's 33.

The worlds best player was also born in 1983 a continues to shred teams apart on a weekly basis.

This will automatically strengthen 2 positions. Our D will also significantly improve with his organisational skills and positional play.

Gordon
Toops/Manu
Mitchell
Fergo
SKD

Copley back to Wyong.

Yet the Dragons sign Tariq Sims and Luke Keary is on the way..

The stupidest decision this club ever made was letting Maloney go after we lost RTS.

Let's all just agree that POS, TR and Nick are losing the plot !!!

Would be nice, but is it realistic?

We wouldn't sign Maloney because he was too old at 29, yet sign Gordon who will be 33. It is just bizarre.

Not likely given I hear the club still wants Moses for 2018.

It is if Parramattas final punishment forces them to go into next season in a worse off salary cap position and they can't compete with our offer. Norman still hasn't signed with them yet. Chasing big money that they don't have. We do. Shit I'd give him a million next yr if there is no one else on the market otherwise we'll be looking at a very similar season again.

The difference is that Michael Gordon is nowhere near that level

Yes we definitely need an experienced QUALITY 6/7 if we want to see an improvement

A classy 5/8 and a strike centre will get us through until we can attract some real quality. Latrell could potentially be that centre for a year now that Gordon is coming. Unless Gordon plays wing with skd and fergo centres. We just need to attract a quality 5/8. Our youngsters are a good 2-3 years off.

Wouldn't mind giving matterson Guerra's spot to free up money. He can run and tackle as good as Guerra for a fraction of the price. Would add another dimension in attack. And I'd love to see nikorima given another opportunity off the bench. The interchange reduction won't have a dramatic effect next season but enough that someone Niko's size and speed will benefit from.
