Newcastle without Gower are no chance against Melbourne

[Loudstrat]

Right on. The merkins on this forum who rant on about his age never saw Craig Gower play before this year,

I think Popeye may have.

Craig Gower? Never heard of him, but if he is half as good as David Gower he has a bright future.

 

[Nuffy]

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.

You are acting like they aren't picking him.

You're not exactly Mr current affairs are you, the bloke is still recovering from neck surgery and hasn't been cleared to play.

 

[Aragorn]

can someone remind, has he actually played any games this year in a knights jersey? i cant recall....

 

[Puntastic]

Every time Gower throws a forward pass, do a shot.

Pretty sure that's how he plays it.

 

[Moffo]

He has been playing well off the field if you know what I mean

 

[Burwood]

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.

His record in the NRL would prove otherwise.

Oh, and by the way, did you manage to watch the match against Melbourne?

Bump! :lol::lol:

Well worth waiting for

Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk both had off days on Saturday. Slater's dropped ball led to a Newcastle try. Plus Cameron Smith was slightly off in his goal kicking. Such a combination of let downs is unheard of in the history of Melbourne Storm. That freak set of events --- plus stellar performances by the Fijian imports Uate and Naiqama -- is what enabled Newcastle to scrape in by a goal (the number of tries scored were equal). Nobody could have anticipated that both Slater and Cronk would have an off day.

Had Slater and Cronk played to their ability Melbourne would have won comfortably.

Had Craig Gower been playing Newcastle could have won by 20 points.

That's one of the best/funniest/disturbing posts I have ever read here!! :lol:

 

[Slackboy72]

Well done Junior.

 

[Lucas-Con]

Word of advice to the op and every other asshole deciding to make a thread similar to this stop trying to troll leave it in the troll cave and just for the record Gower is average at best he was never that good a player.

Is this some bizarre reincarnation of Amadaca?
