Exactly, Gower played all over the place at rep level since starting in 1997 when he played SL tests...Orford playing hooker is a joke and Lang is a goose for suggesting they move a specialist half to hooker when they have a player in Gower with a perfectly good utility value....bt I gess now Ox has dropped out of the City side Gower will go to half anyway!

 

[Bomber]

The press conference has started....

 

[Mr Angry]

Geez you Melbournites are dumb.

Lang does not want Orford at hooker any more than Gower. It was a flippant remark - he was not serious his point was how stupid it would be to play Orford there just as it is for Gower.
Go buy a vowel.

Being a mod doesn't give you the right to be a smart arse!

Correct everybody has that right.

 

[Bomber]

THREE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait to see Sunday Roast this week, I want to see what toolface has to say about it, He has said there is no way Bowen will be at the Cowboys next year He probably wont even acknowledge it, or he will think of some excuse. But it will be interesting viewing none the less

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Paul Kent?? Andrew Voss??

The bigger toolface of the two. Paul Kent(forgot his name thanks for reminding me, err on second thoughts I was better off calling him toolface)

 

[Jordan]

Paul Kent said that Matty Bowen was "unhappy" at the Cowboys and would "definitely not be at the Cowboys next season".

 

[Mr Angry]

That is excellent news.

I think everybody likes a home grown hero.

Bowen is one.
