I thought Gower was ok, but i wouldnt swap him for adamson or any of our youngsters we kept

i've talked to him quite a bit since he left us through the magic of facebook, he's always said he loved it here and would love to play for us again. i told him to get on the blower to simms

I would love to see Gower and Adamson in the 2nd row, think that would be a brilliant combination and as dynamic as i've seen in god knows how many years.

Seeing as we have just lost to brilliant youngsters time the club got us back onside and did something proactive and brought back DG.

DG is a lad that allways gives his best...allways done it tough only ever played for 2 clubs ...wests / tigers & salford we could do a lot worse than resigning him...one thing you know he allways gives his best..

Yes!!! Would have him back a.s.a.p as someone previously posted, Adamson & Gower on the park could be awesome, never took a backward step.

Do you think the fans liked Gower because he was young and didn't come with a reputation? It's just that historically the majority of our overseas players always seem to take the brunt of our supporters frustrations when things aren't going well.

MAYBE BUT HES A WAN KER

Id have Gower back would Mr Simms have the nuts to go and offer him a contract, would Gower accept after being released the 1st time Gower could always ring the club and ask?

I think from the way this site is noted both by the club and local press that everyone concerned is aware that Gower is a free agent.

Was it Mcrae who released him? if so you'd find it highly unlikely that he would take him back as that that would be seen as an admission he got it wrong (which many at the time and still do think).

I'd have him back tomorrow. Thought it was a very poor decision to let him go last time and at 23/24 years of age he's in the age bracket we need to be looking at. If he does come back to Solly what's the chances of him bringing Gareth Ellis over with him?!

Didnt we release him because he left us hanging for too long before he made a decition?.
We have resigned playes before Mcavoy, Naylor why not now?
A comment from the club would be nice in the MEN, Ill even write it for them


Salford City Reds have dismissed rumours that they are about to resign fans favourite David Gower, Steve Simms said " we have our fingers in a lot of pies at the moment but David who did well the 1st time with us will not be returning.

There you go, job done.

Gower wins NSW Cup MVP
Friday, 25th September 2009
Balmain Ryde’s David Gower has taken out the NSW Cup Most Valuable Player award at the New South Wales Rugby League annual presentation dinner tonight.

2009 has been an exceptional year for Gower who, in July, was selected in the NSW Residents team and won the Apprentice of the Year at the Central & Northern Sydney Regional Training Awards night.

In September he made his NRL debut for the Wests Tigers in their round 26 victory over the Bulldogs and he is also highly regarded by Wests Tigers and Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens.

On Sunday Gower will take to Leichhardt Oval for the Tigers when they play the North Sydney Bears in the 2009 NSW Cup Preliminary Final. Gower has been inspirational for the Tigers in the final series and he says a premiership with Tigers would cap off a terrific year.

“To be named NSW Cup player of the year is a huge honour because there is some prestigious talent in this competition,” Gower said.

“All the accolades in the world don’t compare to a Premiership though.

“To win one with all my mates at the Tigers would be a dream come true because we have worked so hard for it.”

Gower beat out a host of prestigious talent including Hep Cahill (Storm), Samu Wara (North Sydney), Danny Williams (Bankstown City Bulls) and Ben McFadgean (Windsor).

they just beat norths & will play before next weeks NRL Grand final

Well done David Gower

Would really love to see him back at Salford & obviously from the write up, he has done himself proud.
Wish the club would give him another chance, put his heart & soul into every game he played for us.
