Phil Gould joins Bulldogs

[the_third]

He got Reece Walsh to the warriors, turned the panthers around. That’s a massive scoop for the bulldogs

Yeah even if it the perception that Gould is or isn't successful ......Gould's name alone will help them ...helps with them getting back to becoming the Family Club as they claim

Maybe. It seems odd they’d do this after buying up everyone on the market. I doubt TPJ or Dale F give a flying fig about Gus or Tim Sheens.

They do if it helps attract better players ......that helps them become a more attractive club

The question is, do they? Long-term we’re probably better placed with some like Tahu on our books than Gus or Timbo. The Dogs signed a lot of players before Gould came on board.

Have they got teh right players though ......

When Gould was at Penrith he saw what the problem was at in 2018 for 2019 ...they basically only needed a hooker ....and then grabbed best one on the market .....

He obviously ruffled some feathers at Penrith though, in the end they decided to take on Ivan and get rid of Gus.

Gus is like that ...he ruffles everyone's feather's ...most people like that do .....

Agree. He will ruffle feathers to achieve success, something we have lacked because the people in higher powers are more worried about protecting their jobs. . The junior development at the panthers is all him. He will do that at the bulldogs and sell the dream to promising juniors and their families. I hope sheens can do that here.

What worries me about Sheens , when he tried to put his foot down at the WT's ......it got eaten off by the senior players

The main agitators are gone. To me the last remaining senior players who could cause drama are Nofa, brooks and mbye. If these guys are still agitating behind the scenes then I’m happy for all of them to be moved on.

I'd be really surprised if Brooks is an agitator. He tries his butt off every week.

brooks couldn't spell agitator, let alone know what it means

I cant see it either as Brooks being an agitator. Brooks cant even open his mouth on the field to set up plays let alone agitate off the field.

Brooks has improved throughout this year.
Feel like he's buying into what Madges trying to build.

Appears to be one of a few that actually tries each week... maybe his ability let's him down but it's not his heart.

I think we all know who really are the sooks... as displayed on field (and on twitter)

I hear ya brother , but its one thing to play well as a player and its another to lead your team around as a leader. He is one of our senior players in our squad and hasnt shown that in a long time.

Not saying he is, just saying he is one of the 3 senior players. Mbye looks like he’s given up , and nofa off field has been terrible.

This attitude , is absolutely ridiculous and I’ve never understood it . You know who’s at fault for us losing ? (In reference to the players) The person in the mirror . It’s not up to someone else to tell you to do your god damn job. Your hand doesn’t need to be held to chase someone down , dive on a ball , put a hit on , charge down a kick, make an effort play . Put your head where you shouldn’t ever put any part of you.
The sooner the fans , and most importantly the players , get this through their head , the sooner we start winning . Because , what I just said , is a pre requisite to being offered a storm contract. And if your not that player , eg Matt Lodge , you’re shifted off to places like the west’s tigers , as soon as that’s figured out .

At the rate Gould gets around to different clubs if he keeps it up he'll been to more clubs than "The DELLTONES"😂😂😂😂

 

[Snake]

Gould being paid $1million a year .. for that money and the huge amount of money spent on so few players the pressure will be on from game one at the dogs ..IMO is Gould worth that amount of money to set up pathways which probably are already in place probably not .
A lot of money for the name what makes the Bulldogs a better club today than they were yesterday for a $1million.

 

[happy_tiger]

WT brans is definitely dying. Let's see what Sheens does.

That's baloney. The Wests Tigers brand is very strong - membership numbers are high, self-reported supporters are high, merch sales are good, TV viewership is good, crowds are OK.

All for a side that doesn't make the finals.

We would be a juggernaut if we could figure out how to win consistently.

The Manchester United of the NRL?

Barcelona

Sir Walter Lindrum of the NRL
