I used to think he was a flog, (he still is at times) but ever since he was recruited to be our GM, I’ve followed his twitter via TK, and my whole perspective has changed. He really is one of the biggest proponents of rugby league, and gets that it’s for the fans. Without us there’d be no money to pay the players etc.
Gus at heart has always been a custodian of the game, he focuses a lot of his time on recruitment and bringing young kids through the pathways and making sure the right people are in place to nurture them through the grades, he also puts a lot of time into mentoring young coaches, he’s always been about growing the game …
Most people only see media Gus, and I feel his main role there was to increase ratings by being controversial …
Most media people and journos are a cancer on the game, they feed off negativity and do nothing to grow the game … I have a feeling Gus is slowly taking himself out of that space ..
