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.

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.
I hope it does come true, Gower would be an asset to the club!
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
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.
