Michael Gordon

[Captain Apollo]

when does his contract end with Cronulla?

I believe it is at the end of this season.

 

[Ladmate]

Don't blame him. Shit move to not grant him a release when you agreed to. You don't do that crap, agents catch onto it and will tell their players to stay away.

Agree with you, however a coach doesn't have the right to do it without club approval.

There are financial implications and whilst in this case it may be a positive financial implication, the governance is not in the hands of the coach.

If indeed Flanno gave approval, he needs to pay the price, question is does the club have the balls to do it.

Still, club should let the sook go, he won't play fullback again and no matter what club he is at, he will only play at the back or demand a release.

Nah its gordons fault. He should of realised Flannos word is meaningless and you should not trust what he says, like who would actually believe their coach when he says you can look elsewhere we will release you?

The RLPA told him he has a strong case it does....

 

[POPEYE]

I've said elsewhere why would a coach who relies on reject players want to keep a player who rejects the club . . . sounds more like a Gorman maleficence than a Flanno edict

That's not the point.

Strong case because Flanno allegedly said it n texts, does not change the fact the idiot acted outside his capacity to make such decisions. Therefore Flanno is the problem, not Gordon.

As I said, let him go, don't need him anyway

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

He clearly wants to add to his utensils drawer by moving to Parramatta.

He clearly wants to add to his utensils drawer by moving to Parramatta.

If he could do that he'd have spoons at 3 different clubs.

Haha

Yeah im sure the RLPA got some legal advice and considered the above before telling him that though.

He'll be a hit at the soup kitchen when he retires.

 

[carcharias]

Have the RLPA actually ever done anything?

 

[Card Shark]

Don't blame him. Shit move to not grant him a release when you agreed to. You don't do that crap, agents catch onto it and will tell their players to stay away.

His manager was quoted the other day that he was given permission to negotiate with other clubs / test the water but wasn't given approval to be released.

Perhaps the deal wasn't what the Sharks had hoped (i.e. There was talk of a player swap with Lussick but he got injured).

Sick of every f**king media beat up putting shit on my club.

Anyway, Gordon has been overpaid since coming to us as a fullback because his best position is wing, as he displayed at Pentith before he got the sooks there. He was totally underwhelmed me from what I saw him do at Penrith.

If the Eels are dumb enough to take him off our hands, let the has been go.

I don't think Miller is arguing with you about Gordon having a case. I suspect he agrees with you.
He's making the point that Flanno over stepped his authority, and should be shit canned as a consequence. Doesn't lessen Gordon's grievances.

Exactly, cheers bottle!

 

[betcats]

Yeah i know what you are saying i tend to agree. What i am wondering though is if Flanno does not have the authority to give Gordon a release why do the RLPA think he has a good case?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure I would need help from a shrink if I played for Cronulla.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Because if the text messages say unequivocally you can go, he has a case. Not Gordon's fault Flanno is a moron

To be fair, Cronulla would need shrinks if they even considered the thought
