Gus getting destroyed by media and fans.

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

              • 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.

                • Well mate, they farked off your best mate coach just in time, whilst guys like you were critical saying it was a shit decision.   Ryles is looking like he's thae saviour,  so why are you still complaining 

                  Seems like they're doing something right 

                   

                  • You honestly think JR is having success with these guys running it your deluded.Have you not seen the recruitment and retention the last 12 months.

                    JR was there third choice chief Bennett and Bellamy were approached before him.I mean was it a contest between him and Hannay.This is the problem and now this debarcle.

                    Here you are again defending incompetence what's happening when 40 years clicks over and we are no closer 😂 you think these guys go before JR 😂 just wait and see these leopards aren't changing there spots.

                    You do remember who extended BA to right do you 😂 

                    • Imagine rewinding the clock back 12 Months from now and posting a thread titled ". We should chase Hannay or Ryles to coach us ". 

                      You'd have a few replys " I agree as long as Arthur's sacked ". And then you'd have the other 99% of the site laughing at the suggestions of these two. 

                      Then as soon as they're literally the only options willing to coach us , all of a sudden our board are doing a fantastic job as they released a poxy statement about creating a ground breaking panel and process to select which of these virgins are the next Craig Bellamy.  Us fans just accept any tripe this mob toss up . Why ?  My guess is because they ensured they've had their propaganda wave flyers on the social media platform.  Not that long ago you couldn't say a single negitive word about them on here without the usual suspects shouting you down . 

                      Trust me , I know , I've been calling this mob out for a few years now. And everytime the predicted replies would come. And then you'd have the offical cheer squad on The Cumberland Tossers. 

                      Its probably the one thing you and I have been aligned on , MON and the boards ineptness and poor recruitment, 

            • Coryn of course we were never a real chance compared to JT, his loved high school teacher, Gus wetting himself repeatedly over the kid and Laundys money.

              it's not JRs fault or the clubs fault in this one. I'd say the wheels were set in motion a year ago or so...long before JR was even coaching at the club ha

              plenty of reasons to knock our RnR but not this imo

              • Macy we were a huge chance we just didn't get it over the line.According to what's being reported upto Friday night he was coming to the Eels he's consequently changed his mind Saturday and then made it known he chose the Dogs over us.From reports the Parra officials were very confident of getting him over the line after representing there upgraded 2nd offer.

                It wasn't enough and he made it known that he thought Ciraldo and the Dogs were a better option for him and his development as a player going foward.

                • Coryn sorry don't  believe what's reported as fact tho...we were just used to make it appear like it was a fresh decision to help gooould seem legit in his claims ... it's very clever.
                  The kid asked for a release last year before JR and his team had coached a game; then again knocked em back on huge deal  coz he strongly  said he wanted to develop his game imo this was always gonna be to go to dogs with his loved teacher etc etc and laundys assured deals he's never lose out on. How the hell was new guy on block JR ever gonna compare to his trusted beloved teacher to develop his game? How would he have known that months ago? He'd look like an egg to do that for mine.

                  What I'm shocked about is the deal isn't for two years with dogs Perth factor etc ...it says he is getting a motza in laundy shares to me.

                   

                   

                  • Mentioned this earlier if we knew we weren't a chance why bother putting your hat in the ring.I'd have thought if we didn't think we had a chance we'd have looked elsewhere.If the odds were stacked that heavily in there favour why did we bother.

              • My dad and uncle used to do all the law stuff for arthur when he was just starting out in hotels - he also went to joeys with Arthur and I was in some social circles with Stu via boyfriends for a while .

                I'd say there's also been opportunities made via laundy hotels for maybe family members wanting to get into management of hospitality mb or similar 

                it's very hard to compete when a sponsor is as big as them with options that could assist a player or their friends / family

Its no use chasing a guy like this you have to find players like this not wait until there something then expect you have a chance to recruit them.This is how you get into cap trouble overpaying to get a guy like this moved."
