Craig Gower

Hello fellow 1eyedeels,

 

No less than 48 hours ago, i was informed that Quade Cooper would not be coming to parramatta and would sign with the ARU before friday. I know this because my cousin is on the board at the club, Generally i keep whatever he tells me to myself, but as a parra fan , i feel obligated to break the news to you guys as i know i would love to hear anything new at the club.

 

By all reports Gower is homesick, and is looking to move back to Australia to live a more laid back life-style, he has had secret talks with no less than 4 NRL clubs, but it is believed that Parramatta have beaten Cronulla, Newcastle and Canberra to his signiture.

 

The deal is supposedly worth 500k on a two year deal with a get-out-early clause. My cousin has told me its not set in stone, but he expect Gower to sign within weeks. Perhaps this was the halback that "Daniel" reffered to in his famous blog. Time will tell.

 

again im not confirming this, just telling you this is a distinct possibility.

 I'd love to hear your thoughts on the potential signing, personally i think he would be a great signing.

 

BBG out.

  • BBG You're always right with stuff like this, and i love that you have such close relations to people on the Board. If you say it, im fairly certain it will happen! At least were signing someone.
  • you know i have heard Gowers name too, it was a few weeks back after it looked like Cronk wasn't coming.
    Hadn't heard it again til now. But it makes sence in a way. Gower wants be closer to his mum.
    Shame about cooper he would be a sensation in NRL.
  • ive heard gower wants to come home as well,
  • Mate i heard something similar about Gower, My father talks toy Roy a fair bit and was told that Gower approached Penrith First but was knocked back due to his walking out a couple of years back, still creating tension at the club!

    I hope it does come true, Gower would be an asset to the club!
  • i did hear a rumour a week or so ago that gower wanted to come back to the nrl and play for the panthers. i thought it was all bull until i heard that he has had a falling out with italian coach nick mallet.
    since playing rep rugby helps him financially and was a huge reason why he went over to france i can see why this may substantiate hes claim to come back to australia
  • I'm not sure about gower, I didn't really rate him that much towards the back end of his days with penrith... He was getting slow , his passing game was erratic, I think he was a major contributor to the panthers going so bad at the time!! I would rather noddy!
  • Even if he's lost some legspeed or power - my gut says Gower could work.

    Union may have deterioriated his defensive capabilities, though, as it's so technical requiring a great kicking game his time may have honed his skills and vision.

    He could be our general.
  • hes been the heart and soul of the 11 caps hes made for italy so lets hope he still has the goods
  • PS: no surprises with Quade, but after the World Cup he's still a puppy. You never know.
  • Someone left the cupboard door open again!

"The chances of him being our 6 next year are very low, if he was a serious consideration he would be playing 6 now with dylan at centre. I'll be very surprised if he is our starting 6 next season unless he gets a lot more time there this season. "

Joeyboyz replied to Hector's discussion Young Joash papa extends
"I think Joash is a good player, but from what I've seen only at fullback or on the wing. Those positions we've got pretty well covered, so I guess he's a great back up option. I'd like to see him in 1st grade, but I dont know how he fits in?"
