Michael Gordon's future at the Panthers is in doubt, with the NSW Origin star to consider quitting the club if new coach Ivan Cleary ignores his request to play fullback.
In a dramatic development just weeks out from the NRL season-opener, Gordon has already had one release request denied and is likely to leave the club if he is kept on the wing.
New Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary last night confirmed his dilemma, with Gordon's ultimatum having the potential to place young gun Lachlan Coote on the outer.
Cleary admitted Gordon had sought a release from the Panthers after fielding offers from both Gold Coast Titans and Wests Tigers.
