Do some book reading lad!!
He did BUGGER ALL for Penrith's success - aside from get his mate Packer to bail out their debts!!
His 5-year plan turned into more than 10 years while he played Checkers (not CHESS) with coach appointments etc.
They only succeeded after luck - and the return of one of the coaches Gus sacked!!
The guy is an inveterate liar and a leech on rugby league!

TBH don’t care for TPA’s…. Especially those that every Tom, dick and Harry can see. It’s the other ones that “don’t exist” that I would be interested in or at the very least hope eventuates, as they do for others!!
Your welcome, I try my best, it's lovely to be recognised every now and then.

Bennett moved him on from Souths. He's moved on Wally Lewis so Doueihi's departure wasn't a big issue for him. The point is how much do you pay for a utility?
If Moses arrives in 24 and Doueihi has a good season in 23, is the club better off letting him go? We have a good potential centre pairing in Talau and Kepaoa with Naden and young Feledy as back ups. Our forwards with Matamua and Faagutu on the horizon also look good. Does the club come to the same conclusion that Bennett did at Souths?

Jacob Liddle (Dragons)
Estimated salary: $200,000
Age: 26
The Wests Tigers are paying about $50,000 of his salary, leaving the Dragons to pick up close to $200,000 of his contract this year.
David Klemmer (Tigers)
Estimated price: $400,000
Age: 29
The Knights are still paying half of Klemmer’s $800,000 salary for this season. At $400,000 for 2023, the Tigers have picked up Klemmer for a steal. Especially considering the Tigers were meant to be paying Zane Musgrove (released to the Dragons) in excess of $500,000 for the next two years.

It's a tough one. When he is on I think he is one of the best runners of the footy we have in relation to making a bust. I think because he is a big guy if he fixes his defense he can be a good defender.
He was recently considered for the captaincy role and one of our leaders.
We'll see what happens this year.

He is not worth $50k!
His apparent 5 year plan came from a quote saying it will take 5 years to get the salary cap in order. He never said anything about delivering a premiership within 5 years.
A lot of what you say is true. Gus burns through finances like few others. But in doing so he did set up the Panthers for sustained success.
I'm not sure he is capable of achieving the same at the Dogs as they obviously don't have the same catchment. But it does look like he is off to a good start.
So that’s the Klemmer/Hastings player swap? How much did they get Hastings for then?Jacob Liddle (Dragons)

Klemmer was on the outer at Newcastle and I reckon we could have got him anyway.
Also seems pretty obvious now they didn’t want Brooks at anywhere near full freight and we wouldn’t kick in.
Love having Klemmer but can’t understand why we would give Newcastle a halfback for basically nothing.

The goalposts may have moved now that Maguire has gone. In my mind, Marshall wants certain attributes in the 6 and 7 to play his style of game. Speed off the mark, ball playing, short kicking for repeat sets, defence are a few I believe would be mandatory. That is just my view but as for leadership, I think that ship has sailed.

For some reason Hastings wasn't rated. I assume because he is a little slow and the coaching staff saw him as a lock. It could be because he is a difficult personality and not that good a player.

I believe you've answered your own question.
I get ur anger , but how can u bag the club , sheens has done a great job so far to rebuild a useless forward pack , but u can’t buy everyone in one season, we will shed more dead wood next year and hopefully bring in some class backs , so support the club while they continue to rebuild and if it fails then u can unload on them .

We could find a few backs from the lower grades. There is a lot of talent and one or two just need to work hard and impress the coaching team. I am optimistic we have solutions in our own backyard for our backs.

Article in DT suggests otherwise. Dogs had to go cap in hand to Leagues club for a $6mil handout. Its not so much the cap thats the problem its the ancillary spending that has gone through the roof since Gus arrived. Only Sydney NRL club that is still heavily dependent on pokies revenue from their leagues club.

Yes they're very good. I like Scolari - pace, spirit, defence and good under the high ball.
