Gould Blows up, runs Training session

[EXPLORER]

The morons at Fox have a real agenda against Gus and our club.
Fuck them, fuck them hard.

If Gus stepped,
Good
So what?

Fuck you Fox

 

[halfcast]

I used to protect everyone including our club but fk me what the fk are we sooking at how fox sports are treating us? WE HAVE BEEN A LAUGHING STOCK FOR THE COMP FOR YEARS ! It’s time for this club to bring its balls back because it’s putrid we are so lost in our clubs history

 

[bradyk]

Baz needs to go. The more media attention the better imo.

 

[Howie B]

If anything it makes Barrett’s job any safer. What other coach would put up with a GM doing that ??

I think it’s the right thing to do. He has obviously identified a weakness in regards to the coaches being too soft on the players.

Realistically any coach we have is gunna be a Gus puppet. People calling for Shane Flanagan to coach the side are delusional. It’s quiet clear that his son is on the outer and that he wouldn’t have control of the side

 

[surfdog]

If JK comes out now and says Baz has the full backing of the board, that will be as good as confirmed we are getting a new coach

 

[mr j]

Does Gus getting involved really change our fortunes against the Roosters? Our roster as a whole is by far the worst in the comp. We just don’t have the cattle.

EXCLUSIVE: Gus blows up! Phil Gould runs training after spraying hapless Bulldogs

Tune in for NRL360 on Fox League 6.30pm tonight as Braith Anasta and Paul Kent discuss the drama at the Bulldogs.


Phil Gould has taken the extraordinary step of running a Bulldogs training session on Tuesday after giving the players a fierce spray as Canterbury seeks to snap its six-game losing streak.


In the first major sign of Gould taking a more hands on approach at Belmore, the Bulldogs general manager of football made his presence felt in a team video meeting followed by a field session.


Gould reportedly praised the Bulldogs NSW Cup side for beating Mounties before giving a rocket to halfback Kyle Flanagan and a number of other players.

When the video session and Gould’s analysis was finished, the Bulldogs general manager of football then played a major role in the club’s training session.

It came just weeks after Gould furiously defended the club’s decision to play Flanagan against Premiers Penrith despite having no game time in either trials or the regular season.


“Kyle Flanagan from what I see, and I see most of their training sessions - I’m not part of the coaching staff, I don’t do coaching but I’m around the sessions a lot - Kyle has been heavily involved right throughout the off-season in just about every training session that we’ve had,” he said.

“He’s at every team meeting, he’s at every video session. He’s an integral part of what the club is doing.”


While Gould used his podcast to claim he was not hands on with the players, it was a very different picture at Belmore on Tuesday.

Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett told Fox Sports he was more than comfortable with Gould’s input as Canterbury-Bankstown search for the club’s second win of the season when they meet title contenders the Sydney Roosters on Saturday.


“It’s not the first time Gus has spoken to the players. He and I speak on a daily basis often more than ten times a day,” Barrett said.

“We thought it was a good idea. We had a chat last week about some statistics that we keep and then Gus came in and presented to the team.
“There was a hell of a lot of improvement in the first half against the Broncos but then there were a couple of things that I thought Gus could help us with. It was good.”


Gould was blunt with the Bulldogs playing group around defensive elements of their round seven performance against the Broncos before heading onto Belmore Oval to lead the club’s training session.


“I wanted Gus to have a voice in a certain part of the field and give the team a bit of a rocket around our discipline and our line speed,” Barrett said.
“I’ve absolutely got no dramas with it because Gus can help us. That’s what he’s there for. He’s been terrific for me.


“He wants to win too and we all want results so if he thinks he can help with a couple of things then by all means, help. We’re all in it together.”

The Bulldogs orchestrated a gutsy round one win over the Cowboys in Townsville but have since lost six games straight despite a major off season recruitment drive in terms of the club’s roster.

Canterbury-Bankstown added Matt Burton, Josh Addo-Carr, Tevita Pangai Jnr, Brent Naden, Paul Vaughan and Matt Dufty to the blue and white roster during the off season but so far have been unable to convert the big-name recruits into results.

Gould has previously taken a more hands on role at training during his time as general manager of football at Penrith and even as far back as when he was coaching director at the Sydney Roosters in 2002 when Ricky Stuart was in his first season as an NRL head coach.

If true,
The most realistic indication is...TBaz is not getting the appropriate and needed support from the 3 assistants.
It would have been a different scenario if TBaz was solely at fault

 

[GrogDog]

Although I'm sure Tbaz would have eyes on him and genuine concerns I don't think this necessarily means a decision has been made. It's a good move to bring in the heavy hitter to lay down the law to the players in a divide and conquer scenario. Kind of like a, "I'll let your Father know" scenario when you fuked up as a kid lol. You knew you were in the shite. The key will be this weekend to see how they respond. I actually give us a bigger chance now.

Obviously the Coaching is a major question mark but with regards to discipline there is a massive responsibility there required from the players and I'm stoked they've finally been chipped for it! As a battling team we need to be perfect to have a chance and the shite we have been doing is fukin amateur hour!

Can anyone confirm or was there to know if Gus gave them an old fashion flogging at training? Fukin hope so!

I have seen kids fight like cats and dogs in the loungroom.
They hate each other.
They call each other all kinds of names.
But heven help anyone in the school yard to give either of them any shit.
They have each other's back.

They are family.

We are part of the Bulldog family.
We can rip into each other and our club and our players all we want.

But heaven help anyone else who wants to give our club shit.

Fuck fox

Gus is now part of our Bulldog family.
As a Bulldog, I will defend him and our club from fuckwit outsiders till the day I die and I'm never going to change.

I'm all for Fox having an opinion and constructive criticism. I welcome that, and encourage it.

But to have a vendetta against our club or any member of our Bulldog family, and I'll call that shit out.

Again I say it
Fuck you Fox

 

[Glenn L]

This won't end well. Now we have the players walking on egg shells as well as Barrett.

 

[djdeep4172]

I agree with you my brother but deadset something in that club is still lingering that’s not gone since Hasler left. I’m hoping it’s as easy as a switch of confidence and we hit our straps to crawl off the bottom of the ladder!

 

[Bazildog]

What..? Players walking on eggshells.. You mean professional althletes on big coin underacheiving the house down. I dont blame the players at all for losing, as thats on the dumbo of a coach. But not even Barrett can be held responsible for our players rolling over like bitches once we lose the contest..

That's my point. They're so soft and fragile this will be the end of them completely.

I know mate,
It's made me really angry after the broncos game.

We paying Gus the big bucks.
He knows what he is doing.
We have to trust he knows how to turn it around.
All honesty

Who else can do it if Gus can't?

Seriously no one.
Gus knows what's required.
I credit him for setting the foundations that the roosters success to this day is built on.
And the Storm success is based on the Bulldog values Chris Anderson took to the storm.
The same values Gus took to the roosters

The same values Gus took to the panthers.

We just need to get that back in our club.

Gus is the man to do that.
The more involved Gus is at our club the better.
