Gower

[Fibroman]

My mail is you blokes are the front runners. 1 year deal rumoured to be in excess of 400k. Ill health in family is behind Gower's decision to return from his lucrative Rugby Union contract in France.

32 years of age. No major injuries during his career. Very tough. Was probably the driving force behind the Panthers 2003 premiership. I'm tipping a few years in rugby hasn't done his kicking game any harm.

Can play half, hooker or 5/8.

Handy aquisition in my opinion.

Oh dear... :shock:

 

[Bigfella]

I would only want him as a hooker I reckon.

 

[Gronk]

He would be our 4th hooker then. 5th if you throw in Robbo.

 

[Utey]

Put him at half as I'd say he isn't as zippy as he once was. I'd take him for 400K (1yr deal) and hope we snag Cooper for 2012.

 

[Gronk]

$400k ?? :crazy: I'll only agree if Mrs Norks gets the spare seat next to me in the Cronin Stand.

 

[FUIFUI_MOIMOI]

32 year's old.. no thanks!

 

[Stagger eel]

thanks Fibro..

I'd definitely take him in a heartbeat as 7 for season..

 

[Kornstar]

32 year's old.. no thanks!

32 isn't that old ffs, 1 year deal is perfect for us! Anything over that and I would be worried....

 

[IFR33K]

400 k surely that a gee up right

 

[Jake the snake]

I'd take him.

 

[Stagger eel]

we need a leader, a general a genuine playmaker...

Gower ticks all those boxes and is someone who can mentor Morts.

the club won't be budge for anymore than season as we'll be making a play for a high profile 7 for 2012 season.

[forward pass]

So what if its 400k??

If we have that much room and we need a seven why not. It is only one year so wont affect our 2012 spending.

 

[Delboy]

What, a 7, with experience that can run, pass, kick and tackle , instead of 1 maybe 2 of the above.

Please sign here , do not pass go etc etc

 

[caylo]

Very tough character, I would have him at 7 without second though, I would much prefer him to Orford but either are better then what we have at the moment. Next year I would play with

1 Hayne

6 Humble
7 Gower

9 Mitchell

14 Murray

Agreed.

 

[strider]

yeah i'd have no problem with $400K for 1 yr ..... more than 1 yr and i'd say no thanks

 

[boxhead]

$400K for 1 year would be fine....I don't see an issue with that at all, we still have around $700K to spend so we would be able to recruit a few other cheap players or one expensive player.....
What he could provide to us in terms of mentoring, leadership and general organising would be superb.

Another dumb rumour,Gower ain't coming to the Eels
