No Gower?

David Gower probably our best forward over the last two weeks and isn't selected this week. Instead Peni Terepo is selected who has been our only constantly poor performer this year.Pretty much started the decline for the eels when he came on against panthers,Penrith were about to give up and Peni gives away a lazy penalty showed no urgency and looked as tho he couldn't be bothered.Mean while, in the limited time Gower was on, for the second week in a row he pumps out line breaks, tackle busts, offloads, a heap of tackles, chewed up more meters than any other forward when U consider how many minutes he only played. Has been one of our best this year in the short amount of minutes he's played.So much quality in a short amount of time.Top 5 best for us this season.Terepo is dead last no questions asked!!!Surely Gower must be injured this week otherwise it doesn't make sense.10. David Gower - 23 mins, 47m from 4 runs (11.75m per run), 2 tackle breaks, 22 tackles, 1 line-break, 1 error & 1 missed tackle.15. Peni Terepo - 28 mins, 44m from 5 runs (8.8m per run), 20 tackles, 2 penalties conceded & 0 missed tackles.

  • I posted this blog 10mins ago and it disappeared. Not sure why.
    Some flop commented and said Gower played shit and that's why he's not selected. Told me I had my eyes painted on. Gower was top 3 for us if not our best against panthers.

    I would say Norman was our best and Gower second best in regards to quality given the small amount of minutes he played
    • There was nobody on the park better than Beau Scott.

      Im a fan of gower but no way has he been our best the last two weeks.

    • Beau Scott missed 4 tackles
      Dropped the ball and have a way a penalty and didn't make as many tackles as he usually does. He also didn't attack as much against penny as he did against Tigers.

      Beau Scott and paulo and Edwards have been our best forwards this year closely followed by Gower.
      If Gower got more minutes he would probably be doing as good as if not better than Edwards based on the last two games
    • He doesn't even get half the minutes those guys get
    • Look at his stats over the past two weeks. Him being dropped doesn't make sense.

      Terepo has been picked because he's a thicker body but he's big for nothing.
  • Gower was strong against the Tigers, he was no-where against that Panthers though. He copped a knock as well, he wasn't top three, I'd put him closer to bottom 3 from the loss
    • But Peni played 28mins
      Ran the ball 5 times
      Averaged only 8m
      0 x line breaks
      0 x tackle busts
      2penalties more than any other eel

      Gower =
      4 runs
      2 x tackle busts
      1 x line break
      That's 3 massive runs out of 4
      Plus 22tackles in only 23mins
      More power in Gower.

      Peni just looks tough
      Gower has been on fire.

      Peni will cost us the game against Canberra if we lose.
      Cost us the game against panthers.
      Offers nothing.
  • "Peni runs with intensity" lol

    "Gower nowhere to be seen against panthers"

    HAHAHAH
    8m average from 8runs
    Gower = 11.5m average from 4runs.
    Lol some ppl make me laugh!

    Nah just our best forward statistically. But no where to be seen.

    Gower =
    2 tackle busts
    1 line breaks
    22 tackles in 23mins
    4 hit ups
    Average meters 11.5m


    Terepo =
    0 tackle busts
    0 line breaks
    20 tackles in 30mins
    5 hit ups (more than Gower) and only Averages 8m per run


    Terepo is so good bro. Lol
    • I love how I left out the fact that wicks and paulo plate double the amount of time that Gower played lol.

      And my favourite was how u left out terepos stats lol
    • Btw I love how u added an extra run to growers runs.
      He had only 4 runs and scored 50meters.

      Let's play your game tho...

      Let's say he had 5 x runs for 50meters.

      Wicks had 16runs for 135meters
      Based on growers average at 5 runs that means Gower scores 150meters PLUS if he plays as many minutes as wicks and makes as many runs.

      BOOM !!!
