What they don't understand is that a lot of Gus's time at Penrith was spent digging them out of a more than $90m financial hole. The NRL was about to cancel their licence as they couldn't show how they would be able to pay their players for the next season. The banks were circling and were about to foreclose on their debt, receivership beckoned. Gus went to James Packer cap in hand and arranged a bail out so that Penrith could at least pay their "mortgages" for a year. That gave Gus time to sell of the unprofitable holdings that were doing nothing but pushing up the debt, rearrange the finances and restructure the debt. It wasn't until the end of the second year that Gus would have had time left over to do much work on the football side of Penrith's plethora of problems.

Hello F'WITS, we aren't in anywhere near the same situation, the Bulldogs Leagues Club has enough equity to survive multiple pandemics, no need for Gus to work on anything other than football.

Next, the fools haven't bothered to do their research, they put up a graphic showing Penrith's 5 country players (one of which is Burton who is coming to us). A simple check of our roster would have revealed we have Schoup (Thirroul), BBO (Innissfail), Elliott (Tathra), Jackson (Gulgong) etc. We have always had a history of recruiting from outside metro areas, Gus simply copied at Penrith what we have been doing for decades and continue to do.

Do some farkin research before you sprout off Milkman.

Always a Bulldog

Surprising NRL360 has softened on us abit.. Kent talking about how Gus Will bring the best out of TPJ and how he’s a great signing and that it was a broncos fault that he was mismanaged. Hooper is supporting us saying we’ll improve next year while we still got the usual flops like Hadley

I can’t stand Soward. The **** can’t even talk and is trying to commentate on 2GB. They censored me when I said he sounds like daffy duck calling bugs bunny in a race

I'm glad we have the blessing from the muppets on 360. Their opinion means so much..

I agree that with Gus on board and these latest signings that the media have completely changed their tune and seem to be praising us rather than hammering us but I could care less what the 360 clowns have to say whether it's good or bad..

The ''media'' create their own controversy. just look how they and the nrl carried on over okenbur and chn. The only way to shut them up is by performances on the field. chammas and soward are slapstick.

NRL 360 is only decent when they have actual people who have played the game. The first half of show is rubbish it’s pretty much just the reporters telling us their articles live on tv.

The media, particularly the news media (including sport), operate on the formula of emotion, drama and controversy. They feel a story should contain as many of those elements as possible. These days there is an ever increasing drift towards hyperbole and confected outrage, to achieve that formula, drive an agenda, and to feed a 24 hour news cycle. A lot of what you read, see or hear needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

We went from wooden spoon in 08 to just missing out on the GF in 09.
(Jmoz, Noddy, Eastwood, Stagg and Hannant)
Roosters finished 13th in 2012 then went on to wining the premiership the following year.
(SBW, Maloney, Moa, Jennings and O'Donnell)


Shows that if you sign players in key positions, especially a good half, you can quickly turn your team into contenders.

We probably need another experienced halfback or hooker to guide the team.

We really should've signed Adam Reynolds.

This is the kind of result that happens when an organisation that pumps out media as a part of its reason for existence has a policy of "let's get our people who we pay to talk about things to talk about the biggest news item this week".

Instead, get someone who is skilled at interviewing to interview a few people who actually know stuff. If you must have your talking heads involved, get them on after the interview for 5 minutes to talk about the content of the interview.
