Official Gus on Twitter

Standard Gus then. If no new recruits, surely it's Wakeham in the 7?

It will be Jake unless something major happens between now and the start of the season.

What were you expecting Gus to reply with?

If there are any negotiations with any new players going on, he obviously can't talk about it and he's not the coach so can't say who of the existing personnel will start there.

With Burton kicking goals

I dunno mate. I guess I was just interested to see if he threw any names out there. Your kidding yourself if you don't think he's gonna have input on who starts in different positions next year though.

Geez, it couldn't be any more clear to me that he isn't a halfback but I guess we'll see.

So Gus is publicly going to announce who the halfback is next year, thereby publicly undermining the head coach for 2022? Ok

Yes he will have input but he's not going to go public with this kind of info.

He's not, at least not yet. Either way Baz has to tweak the system and play to our strengths because there isn't a top tier halfback at the club or on the market that can play the role he wants.

Yeah, agree with that.

Did I say that he was just going to announce who the halfback is next year? I said I was curious to see if he'd throw any names out there. That's all mate.

Love this quote from Gus on his podcast :

“No mad Monday for the bulldogs. They didn’t deserve it”.

There was no alcohol at the Monday lunch

 

[bricktamland]

Wasn't Wakeham put on the shopped out list?
Might get Brooks who i dont particularly rate but is better than Flanno...

Mate seriously I’ve never seen such a shit defender

 

[Gene Krupa]

What were you expecting Gus to reply with?

Probably the entire contracts, so we can dissect every word. And then we argue about them.

Brooks effort for the first try made Meaney look like Dave Fifita....

Averillo getting the coaches award all but guarantees he’s starting w Burton in 22

 

[Stinger]

I don't think the comment was suggesting the ficticious daughter is underage.. at least I hope not.

Even the oldest player at 33 would have a daughter no older than 15 which is still under age and only if the player got his missus pregnant at 18.

 

[Stinger]

He's worth keeping around as a backup as he's not on much. Lewis is gone and Flanagan likely is too, so even if we sign another half it makes sense to keep Wakeham around.

With BBO and averillo wakeham would be the third string backup half if the club recruits an experienced half to partner burto

It depends on where both BBO and Averillo play next year. Both could be halves options but BBO could be bench hooker again while Averillo might be trialled at centre, fullback or as a bench utility as well.

I seem to remember when Mick Potter made his debut at age 18 against Easts in 1983 he had a 1 year old child.

I'm obviously going blind haha. I just don't see it.

Speaking of young Dads. Michael Lichaa's father 'Joe' made his debut in 2006.

Quick wiki search says he was born in 1980 with Michael born in 1993.
