Quote: Torbreck "Gower played well for the Knights off the bench in his first game back in the NRL this morning. A tough, exciting encounter and in front of a good crown. In the No20 jersey played standoff when on the field and hooker in the scrum. Melbourne 16-14 Newcastle. At least he didn't Storm off at the end for once... I'll get my coat...'"
Thanks for the spoiler.
Watched match this afternoon. As I saw it, Gower had two spells, one around half time and also last 10 mins, played hooker (or dummy half if you like) both times. Did a lot of work in defence and made a couple of scoots from the PTB, one near the end close to Melbourne's line where he set off running right and the rest of the Knights just watched him, a bit of communication stuff needing sorting. Looked in very good shape, though the Channel 9 commentator was under the impression that he hadn't played since the game against Fev in April. Actually played against Cas on June 1.
Match intensity about 10x what we get at The Stoop.
