David Gower

Posted by Dirk Nagel on August 14, 2019 at 10:13am

Just watched the interview with David Gower...WoW!

I am not sure of his coaching credentials but he nailed the questions with comprehensive, articulate and intelligent answers.

I think he has a career in the media or as an administrator when he finally retires.

    He is a smart cookie . Not sure of his credentials but I remember he’s a guru at something dorky .  Teaches business or economics or something like that if I remember correct .

      How’s Gowers coaching skills ? Does he have the natural instincts to coach a team of men across the paddock  , or will he motivate them by doing a good job on their tax returns  ?

      Isn’t he an electrician?

      The current coach is Rip Taylor. One of the finest reserve grade coaches going around. In 39 years he's coached sides to 33 finals series, 24 grand finals and 12 Premierships including Parramatta and Wentworthville's previous NSW Cup premierships in 2007 and 2008 respectively. Was recently the coach of the Wyong Roos until they were dissolved after last season.

    He’d be a good trainer to come on the field with drinks and handing advice like Craig Fitzgibbon used to do or Allan Langer.

    Gower will be at the Parramatta after his career is finished to help junior development pathways and player career management, player wellbeing ect.

    Gower is not looking for coaching roles. He is looking at Administration with a view to becoming a COO or CEO.  We are so very lucky to have him with us and could do worse than give him opportunities.
