Can people tell me what the problem(s) are at Gordon. Went to see them play early in the season and they had a few good wins. THey seem to have collapsed over recent times and I note they forfeited 4th Grade to Uni on Saturday!
For a once proud Club that is a disgrace- what are their plans for next season?
I sense a further exodus of players- for an area that is so strong in Junior Rugby(refer this years Under Age Championships) there appears to be a major problem.
They have been hit by injury (Marsh,Church, Fairley only just back) Johnson, Berryman Mansfield,Penni all gone overseas, and not one super 15th player to come back to the club doesnt help, but insaying that it is a club rebulding and with the core of up and coming players it has, it will come good in a year or two, with the likes of Fairlkey who has really step up this year, Greenway who has been outsanding all year, Marsh, Church and Gukibau (c) are a great front row, Tome a raw lock but gets better with each game and of coarse Harvey (not sure if he will be there next year) Tom Mathews, and Tommy Hill, all young and learning whats its like to play 22 weeks of 1st grade. I agree the club needs to look at strengthing all grades and they have a big job in front of them. if you are a Gordon supporter get down to the games and support them, and sprend the word, it is still a great club.
