This lost flop actually got on national TV and said the following;
- Brent Naden came to Dogs for Barrett and because Barrett quit he wanted out. Had nothing to do with off the field behaviour or his form was shit
- Hetherington would be a huge loss and another one that wants out because Barrett quit
- Kikau only signed with Bulldogs because Barrett was coach and he would be playing alongside his former Penrith teammates (Naden) and now they’ve gone he wants to renege on his deal
- Burton signed with Dogs to play for Barrett and now wants out

Just making shit up as he goes now

The bulldogs have turned into a club for the boys to hang out in. If that's true, all those childish ***** should get the fuck out and go back to high school.

It’s not true. Naden left because Kiraz debuted and shits all over naden. He went because tigers will accept shit. People actually believe he rang the tigers Tuesday morning and signed a contract before 4pm? Zero due diligence by the tigers in that case. They must have been waiting by the phone with blank contracts printed out….

The shit the media is saying doesn’t even pass the pub test…

Yep I heard that dribble. Instead of saying that Gus is cleaning the joint out, as he should, they're spinning the narrative that everybody is leaving because they're upset over Baz. That suits their anti-Gus agenda so that's the kind of crap we'll be hearing for the next few years

What was even more ridiculous was when they said half the board are not qualified to be on the board....and I'm sure JK was one of them

Yep.
The writing was on the wall for TBaz and I dont believe it was all under wraps internally.
Im sure Gus explained this to the team leading into the Roosters game.

I just find it surprising that Laundy was shocked by it all. This guy was having a whinge as to why he wasn't consulted.
News flash for you Laundy.... you are only a sponsor. You should be glad the club is not accepting mediocrity and trying to improve.
What exactly did he think he could do had he known earlier anyway?

 

[Abdul..]

I can get all that. Barrett comes across as one of the boys and doesn't hold them accountable.

If true it tells me that this who want out don't see Barrett nor themselves as the problem. Rather their playing group. And to an extent i can accept that. But they are part of the problem and do is Barrett.

The worst performers this year have been Naden, Averillo, Dufty, JMK, Wakeham , Jackson, Waddell.

I can name the whole side. Barrett chooses the team. Burton has not been much better. In fact in winnable games he sat back. That is not a playmaker that will win you big games.

Don't tell me he is young etc. So is Walker. And at least he has a dig.

Don't care who goes from this pile of crap

I loved Dave Riccio in Men In Black

 

[B-Train]

It'd be nice if these reporters were ever held accountable for telling absolute lies over and over again. Rugby League journalism is worse than the Hollywood tabloids.

Big mouth Laundy would be the last person you would tell. He would of gone straight to the media like he always does. Fkn clown.

 

[brockodore]

They read statements later in the show from Kikau and Mahoneys managers saying they are committed to the Dogs for next year.

 

[speedy2460]

The decision to punt Naden was made long before TB quit. It was arranged for him to go to Tigers.
He agreed to part ways.
The decision for him to play with Tigers was not made overnight.
Kikau has come out in the media saying he will fulfil his contract. This is good old fake news.

 

[Nate DAWG]

Riccio looked like a fkn clown, Braith even questioned him. Hilarious when even Crawley and Kent called him on his Kikau bullshit and let him know that Gus was the key to him coming across. Kikau relationship with Gus is well known, he brought him down from NQ. Would of taken 2 minutes research. Riccio makes the rest of the panel look like they know what they are talking about. Just sharing unsauced gossip.
A more likely story is:
Naden had been performing badly, Naden wanted to play centre, Naden is a defensive nightmare at centre, Naden is a handling error machine, Tigers need a centre because Gildhart is 50kg and can never play NRL, Naden asks for a release, Gus high fives JK, dogs wait till fellas like Kiraz are available, Tigers sign Naden. End of.

Those journos should have their licenses revoked, a lot of them chimed in on the myth that Gould signed off on all those “Trent” signings - Gould had nothing to do with Allen, Flanno, Hetherington or TPJ, that’s all TBaz and Gould clearly on record stated Trent shouldn’t go for the job in the first place.

I don’t blame Gould for signing off on Dufty and Vaughan who were on cut-price deals for one year, that was a smart play for 2022.. one of two worked out there..

Gus absolutely had everything to do with Reed Mahoney and Villiame Kikau, we’ll done sir - Reed is in the top 3 hookers in the game and Kiks is the best edge runner in the game. If he can somehow convince Munster to join and get a hard arse like Flanno Sr to coach us, all we need is a FB. Wishful thinking but imagine Walsh at FB, Munster to partner Burto in the halves being thrown rockets from Mahoney

 

[D.O.W.]

To sum it up, those journo muppets on 360, namely Buzz, Kent, Riccio and Hooper continue to dismiss the fact Trent can’t coach, his record is there for all to see and he somehow regressed this year with better talent at hand. That’s on Trent.

The coaching staff that was brought in to support Baz, was hired by Baz… the assistance in key areas of attack, defence and fitness failed miserably. That’s on Trent.

The quality of players brought in and the players playing like busted’s, that’s on Trent.

When will these morons wake up to themselves??? Blaming Gould and the club is so ridiculously agenda driven it’s sickening.

Waiting for the complete, pardon the pun, “360” if Flanno takes the reins… all of a sudden, it was the “decision the club had to make”

 

[Scoooby]

Still lots more cleaning out and taking out trash do yet.!! Can start now and has.. let’s hope it’s a really tidy afterwards!

There is next to zero chance of the club signing Munster. He's managed by Anasta who calls Gould a liar every time he opens his mouth. Gus wouldn't even pick up the phone if he called.

You forgot - doesn't pass to the winger.

Where did this Christine Ricci clown say this crap anyway?

I reckon Paul Kent nearly had a stroke when that was said.

Has this piece of shit ever touched a ball in his life? Well, apart from his husband's...
