Hard to feel sorry for the bloke when he goes on national tv a few weeks ago denies any interest in a player then signs him a few short weeks later. Media and fans are absolutely crushing his credibility and it's just a bad look for the game when a player takes 500k less to join the club that Gus is the head of. Pressure will firmly be on the bulldogs this season as anything less then a title will lead to a backlash

Because if we didn't, people like you would be jumping up.and down saying we weren't even interested.
No it's people like you who still can't see how piss poor our front office is and continually cover your tracks with made up narratives.You still don't get it do you been telling you how poor these guys are and yet here you are defending these useless pricks with your weak arse assumptions ffs 🤦 you'll never learn.
Dont worry though 40years no premiership anniversary is almost on us.JR isn't stopping that with these clowns in charge.
It would seem that he was always headed there at the end of his Tiger's deal.
We're at home waiting for the phone to ring, whilst our prospect is being wined and dined and promised the world. "Why can't I find anyone to love me?"
Lol, Mutts perfect analogy!
Look at the Dogs and their sponsorship with Laundy. They went through their membership books, probably sorted it by "Net Worth" and then went after those at the top of the list. Laundy Hotels is perfect - it's family owned, wealthy as sin, and directed from the top down so the main man can basically pull the strings and do what he wants. And since it's all declared through a sponsorship the lines get pretty darn blurred.
This is smart. This is what I expect our CEO and GM of Football to be doing.
And who did we land? James Hardie, one of the most reviled companies in the world, the one we used to use (low effort) and about the furthest thing you can get from a family owned company so there's going to be nothing they do other than pay their sponsorship fee and get their name on the jersey.
It's such a shame to see us getting so thoroughly outperformed in this one area of our club and there appears to be no consequences for those at the helm.
I read yesterday Mutts that Reynolds wants to stay in Brisbane and the money isn't a point of discussion, he wants to stay because his family are now settled there and Brisbane have told him a job post football is a possibility . He virtually said he'd play for free to stay .
Now my understanding is , that its a salary cap no no to be offering jobs post football as an incentive unless it's built into the offer. Yet not a single questions asked about it. If it was in his offer all kosher then he wouldn't be saying it's a " possibility ". So they'll likley get him cheap as chips and then give him a super high paying waterboy job for a few years to make up for it.
I wish someone would privatise our club or at minimum bring in someone like Politis to run it like he owns it . Truth is , we've never been as successful as we were with Fitzy running it like his own personal empire . No one was game enough to talk out of school about any dodgy dealings we did. It a shame he was determined to burn it to the ground if he couldn't have it anymore.
We need another Fitzy .
Rubbish Gould is a blatant liar. The Eels weren't "done" A liar cannot be trusted period and the NRL shouldn't allow these corrupted liars to prosper and get what they want. If you call blatant lies and corruption 'getting the job done' over trying to do the correct thing as the Eels have done then your just as bad as Gould. Where's the integrity?
Is this coming from a club that hasn't won a premiership in 40 years and yet your calling out best practice GTFO here with that weak sauce.
Nice guys finish last if you don't know and liar liar pants on fire isn't a good defense for it.You've got to be ruthless your not here to be liked your here to win as soon as our front office realise that or put person/s in place to get the job done we'll always be the sooks crying why it can't be us.
Yet at least we have 1EE to vent and act like sooks because that's working so well for us.
But we are actually building something and Ryles has been mostly upfront since the beginning of it, might be a bit old school but I like his honesty and straight up and down approach. That's how you build a culture and team. The right players will want to join us
Exactly
Ryles isn't our GM of Football. DIfferent roles need different personas.
Ryles will often play a straight bat just as Ciraldo would - and they'll often just flat out not answer by saying "I'm not in control of that" or "that's not my area".
At the same time I guarantee you that Ryles and his coaching staff have lots of conversations about team succession plans, who we should target and who we should offload, and they would NOT tell those to the players until they absolutely had to.
It's all a game, we're just not playing it very well in some areas.
