craig gower

just heard on foxsports news that souths are close to signing craig gower.dont know how old he is but wasnt bad in his day.wondering if parra should try to sign him we would have more $ and more chance of a start with souths having  sandow and sutton in the halves,just wondering if use think we should try to sign him .i was never big fan of his but we are desperate for a half back.

  • This has been blogged to death, reliable source (his nephew , from memory) has quashed any rumour of him coming home to play NRL, especially with the world cup looming next year!

    hey guys,

    i work at a high school in penrith. i teach craig gower's newphew. after reading this story i thought id ask if his uncle was coming back to australia.

    he laughed as he just spoke to him last night. said there was no way in the world he was coming back.

    gower said he was "too unfit to play in the nrl anymore", and then noted how he is looking forward to playing for italy in the world cup.

    sorry to burst the bubble. i was disappointed too.

    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 b…
  • I think its another case of making a claim and hoping no-one notices that it is bullshit!
  • why would souths want Gower anyway? Sandow is one of the top 5 halves in the game and Luke would be the no.2 Hooker.
    it's a load of bull i think.
  • Gower is coming back to coach the eels...
  • nah wasnt dreaming. dont bullshit. i found it weird that souths would want him,they said souths were close to signing him also the queensland reds were interested in him.sounds like bullshit with the reds having cooper.but it was on fox sports news 11.00pm
  • Craig Gower gets paid squillions to play Top14 in France and his Missus with the huge norks loves it there. If the norks want to stay in France then you stay in France !

  • This rumour may actually have some legs as there's another rumour doing the rounds that Chris Sandow is headed to the Broncos to cover the departure of Peter Wallace to the ESL.
  • Wallace and the ESL! thats a new one out of the box Ricky, where did you hear that??

    This one was posted on the Broncos website today, he just had the shoulder operation and is keen for next years trials and season!

    The final Whistle, Twitter and all the other forums are nearly as good for sprouting rumours as half the shit that comes from this site!
  • As I said, it's simply a rumour, and I just heard it out of the blue through someone I know.
    I don't think there's much substance behind it, but I thought I'd say it as it kind of makes sense with this whole Gower rumour, and fits in with it as he's rumoured to be heading to Souths.
