There’s not much of Gordon winger Mike Pavlakis but every gram was gold on Saturday as he helped the Highlanders to a pulsating 24-20 Round Eight Shute Shield win over Warringah at Chatswood Oval.

Pavlakis scored a double as the Highlanders came from behind to record a significant victory and keep their season very much on course.

They still sit in third spot on the Shute Shield competition table but have already had their bye and could well force their way into the top two in coming weeks.
