Sharks to offload Cuthbertson

WHETHER he stays in the Shire or not, it appears Adam Cuthbertson has played his last NRL game in a Cronulla jersey.

We've been told Sharks coach Shane Flanagan has vowed never to select the back-rower again, after he repeatedly ignored pre-game instructions to limit offloads. A careless pass in Cronulla's final-round match against Penrith is understood to have been the final straw for Flanagan, who's made it abundantly clear that he wants the former Manly star - who is still on the books at $200,000 a year in 2011 - moved on ASAP. Expect former Bulldog Buddy Gordon to take Cuthbertson's place should a release be finalised.Gordon is negotiating with both the Sharks and Panthers.

HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE BUDDY! Should go well off the bench with Cronulla, a smarter move would be to Penrith though.

Flanagan sounds like a right **** too.

If any backrower needs to limit his offloads it's Fellatio.

The cnt thinks he's SBW.

shame.

tbh he was never used correctly by Moore. he shouldve played him out wide not in the middle. his best games were when he played out wide.


and now whats Robie gunna do with his "My Buddy Gordon" banner?

i wonder if Moore can get the strategies right next season and prove that 2009 was not just a lucky year.

Never really kicked on... Good luck to him

One of our former forwards said he doesnt exert himself as much NRL forwards need to

He was very lazy, a player with great potential, as shown in '09, but if any of you guys consistently saw him at training, you wouldn't be calling for him in FG, really.

BTW, to everyone who says he plays 4 positions -- LIES

He only plays second row and centre... wing at a stretch

I'd have buddy in my team over Warburton and Hodgson anyday. He wasn't lazy, I don't care what he did or didn't do at training, he always gave 100% in games, had the size and offload that we missed this year.

dogs oh 10 - you stated that he doesn't play 4 positions, well you mentioned 3 and throw in lock there is 4.

When have you ever seen him play lock? (And that doesn't include locking one scrum in 63 games)

LOL! Mentioning Gordon playing on the wing is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
