Penrith halfback Craig Gower is reportedly seeking a release from his contract with the rugby league club.

Gower, who was stripped of the captaincy and fined $100,000 - $30,000 of which was suspended - following a series of drunken incidents at a golfing function in December, is understood to be unhappy with the action the club took over the matter.

Channel Ten reported the 27-year-old's manager Greg Willett had a meeting with Penrith general manager Mick Leary to discuss various issues in relation to Gower on Friday.

Leary, who did not answer phone calls on Friday evening, was reported to have denied Gower was specifically seeking a release from a five year contract which was signed last year.

Gower has already been linked to the Castleford club in England and NRL team the Melbourne Storm.

He is currently overseas on his honeymoon.

There'd be no complaints from me if we were to sign him.  twisted:

and therefore unable to contradict the reports, I'll believe it when Gower confirms it because it sounds like the Monaghan stuff Weilder was putting out you know how Manly was looking to offload him onto the Roosters and the Rabbitohs but Manly and Monaghan(or someone close to him) came out and denied it the Manly CEO even said that it was the other way around.  If it's true then at least we'll have a tried and true half back for this season.

Wouldn't be too bad, but I think it's time for Cooper to get a crack at it.  Have a look at what Tim Smith did with Parra last year as a young, untested halfback

top of the table, and Craig said we wouldn't make the top 8.  I have it on the authority of a triple C employee that used to go to school with Cooper(I think it was last year) that he's a rising star.

If Channel 10 and Danny Wierdler say it's so then it must be true, just like the stories last year about Graham Murray and the Cowboys.

With Monas it was channel 9 and Weidler, guys take it with a grain of salt that what the Delta forum members do when an article about Delta comes out we don't believe it until it's confirmed by either Delta herself or by Lea her mother/manager even when it's good news we tend not to believe it(like Delta appearing on the OC).

Sarcasm? I hate sarcasm!

If Channel 10 and Danny Wierdler say it's so then it must be true, just like the stories last year about Graham Murray and the Cowboys.

And every other story about player dissatisfaction that Weidler has ever reported.
Like I said elsewhere there is as much a chance of Gower partnering Walker at North Sydney than there is of him coming to  Melbourne. Besides it shouldn't matter, Cronk will do a good enough job, or else as Simo's sig says you're screwed. LOL

Sarcasm? I hate sarcasm!

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

You need to be a Young Ones fan to appreciate my hate of sarcasm.

Yes well I needed the opportunity to state that now without a doubt this is the best forum I belong to.
I could spend hours simply refreshing the index page and laughing at the quote it spits out.

Go Gower.... Melb is a great place with lots of Golf courses to run amok ion

I was using her as an example Ally.

Gower might be a good halfback...but he is the type of person you dont want at your club. He is rude, a pig and doesnt give a toss about the fans. plus i dont think we could even afford him.

Sounds like a perfect replacement for Joey Johns
