Newcastle without Gower are no chance against Melbourne

Craig Gower is a wise old head. He reads the play clearly. He can create opportunities for the outside backs that other Newcastle halves and hookers cannot. He is unflappable. His field kicking game is excellent. He runs at the line, and he sets up his supports. Nobody can predict what options he will take. Without him as the X factor, Newcastle will not beat Melbourne.

What time is it over there?

Can't drop Roberts based on his form lately and Hilder has been extremely solid off the bench at hooker and is probably the safer option, particularly defensively.

Hi Craig. Hows Newcastle? Do you have pants on? Did you say Hi to Dawn when you played the Tigers, and was she impressed with your schlong? Did she say it was bigger than John Konrads' sausage?

It is now 12:49 pm according to my watch. Why do you ask?

According to my experience Craig Gower is now getting ready for bed. Newcastle doesn't deserve to have such a disciplined player in its ranks if it fails to use him.
Gower is no good for night footy, its after Big Dog's bedtime.

You forgot to mention how handy he is at kicking goals as well. :roll:

Your sarcasm is misplaced. Gower is a handy goalkicker. I have seen him kick 9 goals from 9 attempts for London Broncos, some of them from wide out.

Of course he needs to practice after training if his goal kicking is to be good.

Craig who? You mean that guy who played for penrith back in the 90's? I think I saw him at the old homes when visiting my grandmother last weekend. How old is he? About 50 if I had to guess.

started in the late 90's and also held a certain trophy aloft in October 2003 :cool:

The Knights are doing themselves a disservice to not use Gowie against the Storm. Already they have a premiership coach, but a premiership winning captain would've been handy.

Right on. The merkins on this forum who rant on about his age never saw Craig Gower play before this year, probably have hardly if ever seen him play this year, and know nothing about his talents.
