News Hansen’s belated Belmore bow

[wendog33]

So he's coming over for a piss up and to fondle horses?

And Vlad! ...can only help?

Steve to straighten out Vlad with Bulldogs 6agains etc

 

[Spoonman84]

Did the club do that over hyping...or was it "the media" yet again?

The club called it a "amazing coup" at the time so it's not the media's fault this time.

This appointment simply wasn’t well thought through. Good luck building culture in footy team via an annual 10 day business trip and an hour or 2 Zoom consult once a fortnight outside of that. How much are we paying him?

I see your point

There wasn't much more the media could add to Hill's glowing endorsement

Team.bonding with sheep shagging..

He's been unable to come over due to restrictions but now that he can, he's only here for ten days while he deals with other commitments as well..

It seems like the Bulldogs are low on his list of priorities and that his affiliation with the club isn't anything tangible that will yield rewards.

He 100% could have come earlier

Remember Lynnes press release when they secured chochritch and thompson? The cringe

 

[H-dog]

Relax he’s probably just coming here to slap Barrett

It's wonderful to see the great usual optimism on TK

Quite a few have predicted a run to the finals! Now that's optimism

It will be very interesting to see if there's any actual improvements tho and the dynamics of his involvement.

 

[GrogDog]

Fuk me, why get Phil when we can pay someone in NZ for 8 months. On the up now!

 

[belmore_utd]

Best thing Hansen could do for us immediately is forward us a couple of NZ rugby players.

 

[kap123]

Hopefully a few player recruitment type meetings are planned for this trip. SJ, Dufty, Josh Hodgson, Isaac Liu would be top of my list for a meeting with Hansen.

Legendary All Blacks coach Steve Hansen will arrive in Australia at the end of the week as part of a 10-day business trip with the Canterbury Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs, who announced Hansen’s appointment with great fan fare last year, have been waiting eight months for him to walk through the doors at the club’s Belmore facility. He will touch down in Sydney on Thursday night and will attend the club’s next two matches against St George Illawarra and Parramatta.

Hansen is regarded as one of the best coaches in all sports, leading the All Blacks to 93 victories from 108 Tests as head coach. He lost to Australia just three times in 22 games, with his most famous win coming in the form of the 2015 World Cup final at Twickenham.

Canterbury announced Hansen as the club’s high performance consultant last October, however international travel restrictions due to COVID-19 had prohibited Hansen from fulfilling his commitment in person.

Hansen has been in regular contact with coach Trent Barrett and his staff over the phone and Zoom, however the Bulldogs have been desperate for him to share his knowledge and expertise in person.

Barrett has an existing relationship with Hansen, having spent time with the All Blacks on previous study trips.

His knowledge and ability to implement culture and set standards will be invaluable to a Canterbury team trying to discover its identity.

Hansen will not only work with the players and coaching staff, he has been allocated time to work with the club’s office staff and visit sponsors.

Hansen is also a horse racing enthusiast. He is a part-owner of champion sprinter Nature Strip, a winner of six group 1 races including the TJ Smith Stakes in 2020 and 2021. The six-year-old will again run in The Everest, the world’s richest race on turf, in October.

Hansen will be wined and dined by ARLC chairman and Racing NSW boss Peter V’landys during his time down under.

Sterlo reveals the trait that has Cleary on course to match legends

Nathan Cleary has played more games, scored more tries and kicked more goals than three legends of the sport at the same time in their respective careers. There’s still one box to tick.

Good. Maybe whilst he is having his romantic dinner with V'Landys, he can tell to lay off us for a while & make sure we get some FAIR treatment for a change.

 

[Scoooby]

More Nz connections, happy with this appointment.!!

Mate you couldn’t please this mob even if you paid there mortgage off lol

 

[Bulldog1966]

I have lol'd at this farce for many months now..this just confirms it was a WOFTAM..and how much money is involved who knows?.
Anyway it will be nice for some of the boys to meet Keyser, he probably ups and quits after this visit OR says "good luck might pop in around the time of Everest race day early October" After our shitshow is done and dusted.
Hope his "cat" flops in the race again too

 

[the_insider]

The use of "consultants" is just league administrators trying to bring their usual corporate rubbish into the sport. If you need to hire consultants it means you don't have much confidence in your staff

I’m going to keep an optimistic view for the rest of our season and attend all the home games .
We have a better run heading towards September plus plenty of home games.
A few other things of importance which might lead to winning is staying injury free hopefully and not having lengthy or hardly any suspensions.

In my opinion some guys are already not part of our future but there would be a group still in contention for a contract extension.
Not all is lost considering its only June.

 

[Bulldog1966]

I also think we can win some games, pretty certain now Hansen won't be of any help in doing so, did already think we were a chance against the Dragons however watch Dufty carve us up too LOL
