Did this flickering light distract Gordon's conversion attempts?

Faulty electrics or rogue spectator?

Something was going on a Brookvale Oval as Michael Gordon lined up for goal last night, with a flickering light in a spectator box going nuts, potentially distracting the Eels fullback.

MATCH REPORT: Eels win fourth straight over Manly

Missing both kicks from the sideline isn't that crazy. Sideline kicks are hard, but the first one missed by a longshot.

In the end it had little bearing on the result, with the Eels running out 22-10 winners in Kieran Foran's first game back at Brookvale, since heading west to Parramatta.
