Eels in the media

I'd never heard of this bloke until reading about him on here. That is an awesome gesture by the club for a life long stalwart of the club and a moving story. Well done Big D and well done Parra Eels.

An article written by David Gower. A good read.

People that know Gower all reckon he is a great bloke. He always seems switched on in interviews and this was a great read - quite articulate. I hope he continues on in the club in some capacity.

I don't know if players read these forums, but I think it is fair to say that David Gower is a very well-respected Eels fan favourite, because he is a great human being, and he has never let us down on the field.

Love your work, Gowie!

Yep, true champion! Glad he is an Eel and will retire as one. Ultimate professional imo, knows his place in the squad and comes in and does his job well when required.

I've got low vol level issues ATM that I don't seem to be able to resolve in the settings so i'll have to listen to that after I can get it rectified. Thanks for posting it though.

Generally we don't read these sorts of forums... Mostly because of Pou....

It has already been stated that Gower will be working with the club in a player welfare / education role. He has tertiary qualifications in this field.

Good to hear. Not only does he deserve it but to be well qualified for it is a bonus too. We certainly have had our moneys worth from Gower. I can't think of 1 time where I ever saw him do something that I thought was useless. Absolute Champion IMO.

Yes, a player of his calibre getting a job post career to work with young kids is great for our club. Meanwhile it was said by PKent the other night that Souths have promised Inglis an Indigenous role $300k x 6 years. How the f**k is that even legal. ?

Mate, don't ask me about legalities lol. You'd know a lot more about it than i would and I have been a conscientious non conformist for most of my life. I still am in heart and head but can no longer afford the fines and court appearances so have toned it down as far as my actions go. I still park wherever the f**k I like though.

I’d love to know what jobs involving working with indigenous Australians would normally pay $300k per year.
Seems absurd that Souths can try and get this through without punishment.

Id have no problem if he got a decent paying job with the NRL paying whatever the f**k ... but reality is no one in those positions gets massive coin .... its a complete and utter rort

The 6 x $300k conveniently equals about the same amount he is out of pocket for the remainder of 2019 + 2020.

Probably best to pay it all up front.

Which player did the roosters pay as a scout while he was suspended by the nrl? Was it our Fergo?
