Michael Gordon opens up on Parramatta Eels exit, outlines Sydney Roosters plans
Matt Logue, The Daily Telegraph
November 13, 2016 7:00pm
IN a perfect world, Michael Gordon would still be at Parramatta.
But it’s been a long, long time since anything to do with the Eels could be described as perfect.
That’s why the unassuming fullback known for his loyalty will be running out with Sydney Roosters next season.
“In the end I made the decision to leave,” Gordon, 33, said.
“There was a chance of staying, but there was so much drama happening at the time.
“I know Brad (Arthur) was keen for me to stay, but I had to look after myself. I don’t want to be the one changing clubs all the time and I’m as loyal as anyone, but I just felt like there was a really good opportunity at the Roosters.”
Gordon first made contact with the Roosters through close friend and assistant coach Craig Fitzgibbon.
What started as a few casual conversations with Fitzgibbon about the potential of the tricolours, soon progressed.
“Then, having a chat to Trent (Robinson) and the people involved at the club, it was an easy process and one I’m very glad I made,” he said.
“It’s a massive club and there is a lot of rich tradition here ... I’m just really excited to work under Trent and play alongside all the world-class players.”
When it comes to stars, the Roosters are loaded with talent.
From experienced campaigners such as Mitchell Pearce and Boyd Cordner through to young guns Latrell Mitchell and Connor Watson, the men from Bondi possess one of the NRL’s most formidable teams.
It’s why Gordon refuses to take anything for granted in the positional stakes, even though he has played 203 top-grade games.
“I’ve come here with no guarantees, no nothing,” he said.
“My plan was to come here and work hard and try to earn any jersey I can.
“I’ve always taken that approach and that’s no different this year.
“I just want to work hard to prove that I’m worthy of being here.
“But physically and mentally, I’m ready to go.
“I had a nice break and got away on holidays and did a bit of training.”
Gordon built a close rapport with rising star Bevan French during his one season at Parramatta.
Now the veteran fullback is hoping to continue his role as ‘‘master mentor’’ at the Roosters with 19-year-old prodigy Mitchell.
“He (Latrell) had a fantastic season and if I can pass anything on to him, then I’m more than happy to,” Gordon said.
“But I’ll probably be going to him for a couple of tips I think. The young fellas have got all the skills these days.
“I’m just excited about what lies ahead.”
As for his former team, Parramatta, Gordon expects the Eels to hit back hard after last year’s season dominated by scandal.
“Oh knowing Brad, I reckon if anyone mentions last year they’ll get sent out to do fitness laps,” Gordon said with a grin.
“I’ve spoken to a few of them there and they are training hard already and that doesn’t surprise me. They had such a good season, I can’t see them going backwards now.’’
Jarryd?
The sooner these two leave our game the better. They in my view have been inconsistent and appalling to date.http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...s/news-story/1465eadbce34f0c7cf1d13440e65378d
NRL bosses Todd Greenberg and John Grant away at Four Nations while clubs wait for answers

NO one would mind NRL bosses Todd Greenberg and John Grant spending three weeks in England at the Four Nations tournament if they hadn’t left such a mess at home.
It must be hard to explain to the 16 NRL clubs there is not enough money to go around when the game’s two most senior officials are in the northern hemisphere watching football.
Grant and Greenberg never turn right when they step on to an aircraft and stay in five-star accommodation. Another NRL employee from government relations is in the UK too, all away until November 23.
Meanwhile, the clubs are in revolt. They have been trying for 12 months to get answers on future funding and the salary cap from 2018 onwards.
NRL bosses John Grant and Todd Greenberg.
They feel far too much money is being wasted on:
■ Two referees when the World Club Challenge has shown one is sufficient;
■That millions have been spent on setting up and staffing the video bunker which might have sped up decision-making but failed to reduce errors;
■Or the size of the NRL administration. The government relations staff. Consultants; and
■ Too much extravagance throughout the administration.
Awesome!! Dick pics!!
He's on the podium.
Again el dicko with penis talk.....
is that what you call it?
Told the press there'd be "plenty more floggings" after a good win. Made a massive song and dance with the overhead projector garbage. All to protect his own reputation. f**king wanker.
Is this the first media article to have a dig at tweedle dee and tweedle dum? ... maybe Grant has copped a bit, not so much toodleshttp://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...s/news-story/1465eadbce34f0c7cf1d13440e65378d
