Dragons front-rower David Gower will make his debut for St George Illawarra in New Zealand against the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium this Sunday.

Gower, 25, joined the Club from the Tigers during the off-season and replaces the injured Michael Weyman (groin).

"It is really unfortunate for Mick the way this has come about for me, but I'm looking forward to playing," said Gower.

"I am really happy with my move to the Dragons and am excited about playing my part in the team on Sunday."

**Michael Weyman had scans today from the injury sustained in last night's match, it is seemingly an irritation of a previous groin injury.

The full medical report and diagnosis won't be available until tomorrow but he definitely won't be available this week.

David Gower takes out 2009 NSW Cup MVP

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 last.

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).
