[TITAN PETE]

Is that a joke?
If you play union you will learn more stuff then you would in league, he would still be quality.

I would say he would be a lot more composed.

Except for defence that is optional ...

He's been away from the NRL for about 5 years so i'll give him zero chance of being able to make a successful comeback to the games Elite level at the age of 33 or 34.. , just take a look at Orford who was a better player than Gower was ...

[Rage]

I'm happy with Zilly being our long-term 5/8 unless we go and buy a specialist 5/8 although I'd put the priority at Hooker still. Watts was a possibility but I'd also like to see this Srama that everyone keeps talking about

Two different situations mate

Gower left to Union and learned some new stuff that will help his game.
Orford left to England and got old, he will come good soon though.

I would say he would be one of the better HBs in the game if he comes back, not at the class of Cronk or Thurstan though.

I must have missed something. Didn't Gower go back to Union overseas on another year or two contract. If so, why bring him up?

[titansrawesome]

gower was pretty average for italy when i saw him play against the wallabies, i dont think a comeback is necessary, i like cooper and genia but i dont want anyone to ruin the reds and wallabies

There has been an article on the Fox Sports website bringing up the Titans-Gower rumour since then. I think there have to be better options. De Gois?

De Gois to leave a cashed-up Newwie and Bennett to come to us? Pass whatever was being passed around before, over this way and quickly.

With the amount of players they are linked to, they might find it hard to fit him in. And with Boyd, Henry, Mullen taking care of the halves/fullback, it seems that would leave Gidley, De Gois and Hilder for the hooker position, unless they plan on putting Gidley somewhere like the centres.

[Rage]

Oh man, does everyone remember when Hilder was our 5/8

I do...and the position still not fixed!

Even though we know Darius could not make it to Titans due to the timing of his offer and terms of it (and now that we have the big Jamal), but by the way Capewell is performing, should we have waited to contract him rather than idris? Still, go the Titans!!! slow but hopefully steady start!

[gotitans101]

I'd take Boyd over Idris any day of the week. I think Idris is very overrated right now, but the kid does have the potential to be a star player.

No way...Idris is an absolute gun and we were chasing a quality centre.
Boyd is a fullback and we already have fullbacks.

Not sure if you watch Jamals games but he is very hard to contain, even with the oppositions attention on him...coaches plan defensive patterns on him.

[Titan_Blue]

Idris cannot defend

Idris cannot defend

I think his inability to defend has been greatly exaggerated by some...he's put a thousand attackers in hospital.
