david gower mmm interesting

According to a sorce i have Dane Hogan (has really white hair) from the cowboys has signed with our feeder club Easts Tigers and according to this source he has been told he might/will be doing pre season with the Storm...if true he would be a good pick up in my opinion cause he is still young

1999 where is the confirmation about David Gower and the promotion of McLean staying and promotion of Young T and Kirisome?

I quite like David Gower although he is not the biggest prop going around but he can offload. He won the NSW Cup player of the year at least once and possibly even twice in a row when playing with Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers. He just keeps putting his hand up for work.

In August 2010, I actually sent Frank Ponnissi a list of 7 players who were playing in the NSW and Qld Cup for the Storm to consider recruiting for 2011 given that we would have to go low budget with a number of players as we rebuilt our squad. Those players included David Gower, Shea Moylan and Dayne Weston, who got recruited by Penrith.

There's a rumor on LU about Gower but nothing was confirmed in the original post, not sure if that's changed though. Apparently Quinny has been offered a reduced one year contract and he's weighing up whether to take it or go back to Newcastle to work in the mines. Mose Masoe has also been told he can look elsewhere. Worth us having a look?

[storma01]

Dayne Weston is off contract at the end of this season too?

Justin Horo (Parramatta) ----> Storm 2013

[Storm Spirit]

Justin Horo (Parramatta) ----> Storm 2013

Upgraded, more skillful, more versatile and younger version of Todd Lowrie.

Would be a decent pick up imo....

With good coaching and culture (which he will get at Storm)...this could be an inspired signing

[sallymay]

horo deal is done...just on twitter

[1999]

Great signing in my opinion, I was concerned with our lack of ball playing back rowers for 2013 so this signing i think just about completes our recruitment for next year. If Horo can recapture his form of 2010 then this guy could be anything, he has had an injury plagued 2 years and seemed to be really down on confidence this year, hope a new start gets the best out of him!

[storma01]

I would like to see lama tasi or Mose masoe in storm colors in 2013 also with Lowe gone it would be good to have a big bolstering forward in our 17? Hmmmmm
