Michael Gordon asking for release.

[TurnStyle]

i think he is an awesome player and would love to have him at the tiges. however, i would be gutted if i were tedesco and this happened and am very happy with our squad as it is.

a fantastic post was that they wouldnt want someone who throws a tantrum (okay, paraphrasing here) if he doesnt play where he wants. i hate this selfish mentality and wouldnt want a sook at the tiges….

I think now that we committed for three years with teddy that's ur answer on Gordon.. Would have loved him here but decision made I would think.. And I'm excited about young teddy

How do we know that all this 'ultimatum' talk isn't just a beat up? fair enough he might see himself as the first choice Panthers no 1, but until we see a quote, why should we beleive it?

 

[red_dogg]

id love to see him at the tigers…. tedesco can play on the wing till he is comfortable with the pressure's of being a fullback in the nrl.

He wouldnt come cheap tho... lui's and dywers contracts for 2011 may help cover with backloading. But lets be honest..... Penrith might aswell pull out of the comp this yr without him, they wont win a game.

He's a very good goal kicker as well ….

 

[king_sirro]

The best fullback in NSW imo. However he'd want big money,will be 29 next year and is coming back from a knee reconstruction. Would it be worth it considering we just invested the next 3 years into Tedesco? I read that Tedesco is 19, so by the time Gordon gets here he'll be 20, still young but more than a capable age

 

[TJL081195]

Would be a nice addition to the side, but he would likely play fullback, pushing Moltzen to 7 meaning no #7 battle & wont see much of Tedesco

"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 season-opener, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal Gordon has already had one release request denied and is likely to leave the club if he is kept on the wing.

New Penrith 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 the Gold Coast Titans and Wests Tigers."
This was in today's Sunday Mail & it doesn't say when the offer was made (it could have been before Moltzen seen the light)or if the offer is still open.

The offer from the Tigers was 6 months ago,we have moved on,first Dugan,then Teddy.

 

[Tigerdale]

did anyone actually read the article btw ?

all about him being out of contract, his manager saying he wants to be a fullback, becoz he will earn more money as a fullback.

he is on 220k a season (apparently) atm.

we WERE keen, but i think we have moved into a different direction

 

[Wacko_Jacko]

would take article with a gain of salt.
His no hope of leaving

 

[everett]

Great player as one of the best goal kickers around.

Would love him at Wests Tigers but given recent developments with Tedesco unlikely he will come.

 

[Golden]

Id love him with us just to be a goal kicker he hardly misses!

Exactly ..Gordon was offered a contract before he resigned with the Panthers and stiffed us .Some of these guys aren't real smart Coote was always going to be at 1 enjoy the Gold Coast !

who is that? my only guess is robbie - it really irked me that time i read the article that said he had "SOO" written on his strapping…for a tigers game. not what i wanted to see from the captain.
