Official Bulldogs sign former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen

[Vlasnik]

My uncle just made my aunt video call my entire family to let us know about it

That's classic Give him my best regards.

As for $BW fuck bringing him back I’d rather bring back my boy Barba !!!

The brain behind the All blacks comes to Belmore, sounds good to me.

Steve Hanson says a big “hi” to New Zealand hooker Brandon the Cheese Smith.. C’mon down to Belmore young fella..

If something is gonna get Cheese over the line it’s this!

I ain’t gonna pretend to be in the know with RU and if this great news, but the fact Baz is soo proactive just gives a sense of pride in my loins.

Got to love how proactive Barret is! Build it and they will come they say. Feel like we are building a strong coaching team atm, top players just might want to come here now!

 

[Ewan McGrady]

Best signing since....since.....possibly most astute signing ever. Well done to the coach and board!

 

[Vlasnik]

Being banned Nasheed is missing all the fun Poor c@nt can't claim this

 

[Tassie Devil]

Man. So many on here giving Barrett complete credit for bringing Hansen here. It's weird?

No doubt he was the driving force, but the club had to back him. I'm absolutely stoked with the whole set up at the Dogs now. Gotta admit. Loving it.

Thoughts and prayers go out to CHN

Agreed!
We look more likely now to be an attractive destination for good young footballers to improve themselves.
As opposed to players coming here to get rich with no desire to dig deep.

Guy has incredible pedigree, this is a massive get by the club, it’s hard to believe what is happening at the moment, the vibe is amazing and I’m genuinely pumped for the future...

I wonder if Baz is glad he didn’t take Gus’s advice and rethink his Bulldogs coaching appointment due to the toxic environment also?

Let’s hope there’s a good separation between the team and front office now, we’ve got some very good operators in both departments, let them do their thing without interference...

Random but if you look closely at the Wolverine mask it’s two Batman’s kissing

Haha cannot unsee it now

It’s all over NZ media

Time for the club to get more NZ members in the next membership drive.

Nasheed would of told us this yesterday if he wasn't sinbinned

Absolutely!

The Player agents now know we ain’t one to be fkd with and will take us seriously

We got some heavy ammunition now

 

[dogluvver]

At least we know TBAZ is serious about this chance he’s be given to turn this club back into a powerhouse again. He seems to be doing everything right and the way he wants it from the get go, so may positives every day.!!

On the up an up people.!!

As everyone knows TBaz was a huge Doggy supporter growing up & his passion is really showing bigtime
Sooooo excited about the next few years

No doubt!

Scoobs and I will do a national membership drive in Aotearoa

This can only be good. I hated it when he was All Blacks coach cause he was so fucking ruthless and we had no hope. He used to fuck the minds of opposition coaches beautifully with choice comments before games and I never saw or heard him ever give an inch to the media or the opposition - he just commanded respect. I love that Barrett has someone like Hansen at the club to help him without standing over him.

Attitude is such a big thing at the All Blacks. Everyone's gotta be 100% in for the team and the attention to detail is the best around. It's probably impossible to replicate fully in club land (revolving door contracts, changing loyalties etc) but a couple of clubs have shown they can get close, and sustain it for a long time - mainly Melbourne. Hansen is a pretty rare talent in sports leadership IMO - I love this signing.
