From rugby battlers to reigning Shute Shield Premiers, the Gordon Highlanders have a long history of achievement but a recent one of survival and reinvention. We talk to club stalwart and Gordon rugby life member Peter Sherwood about how the club went from being on the brink of insolvency and struggling for numbers to now being one of Sydney club rugbys power houses.
Along the way we get a history lesson, discuss the current controversy around the SRUs plans to impose new conditions that might impact Western Sydney clubs, the latest news on former Gordon head coach Darren Coleman's offer to coach the Waratahs and just what direction NSW rugby and perhaps even Australia broadly should be going in order to keep up with the changing sporting climate. Plenty of lessons to learn from the Gordon experience. Dig in!
