The other question is how often would major sponsors do something like this, it's really a board job tbh. Hopefully it's about him being asked rather than calling the shots, he's certainly no uncle Nick.
I’m not sure why Laundy would talk to the media about it either just go out there have the chat without bringing so much attention to it.

Like The Wolf says in Pulp Fiction.. Let's not go sucking each others dicks just yet..

It's encouraging that Laundy has big aspirations and wants to try and help entice recruits but let's see results before we get too excited.

Are we allowed to speak to Burton camp whilst he’s officially still under contract?

I think this guy is a clown and bad news. if $500k is all he is paying that is PEANUTS . Plus he seems like a flog , who likes the sound of his voice in the media and drum himself publicity . We don’t want to hear from sponsor , we want to hear from people in the club
‘also wtf is a sponsor going to the players to sign them up, that is a board and recruitment team employed by the club job!
also he is a tool for publicising that he is going to go and see them, grade A flog , what happens if they refuse to sign , club look like dickheads just like the tigers with their public persuit of latrell

1. Staines
2. Smith
3. Cotric
4. Hoppa
5. Dwz
6. Avo
7. Burton

Besides Hoppa it's speed to burn. I'm starting to get horny.
Okunbor over Reimis. I guess his ACL injury will rule him out for the start of next year? What do we do with Green as well...

Parents aren’t officially in their camp. Who we can’t speak to until November is the player himself or his Manager, unless the Pennies have given him permission to test the market. Regardless, a courtesy visit to sell a vision isn’t making an offer.

Those wingers are still a major issue... Should have signed Sione Katoa (Sharks) played him outside Cotric and Okunbur other wing. Can't wait til DWZ and Smith are gone, such shit attitudes been really disappointing seeing how uninterested Smith is in defence just so lazy

I think there is a couple of things going on.

1. Barrett was "told" by the Panthers of no poaching of their players. So Canterbury ask the Laundy's to go on a poaching hunt, leaving Barrett and themselves out of it. Even though the board "signs off" on purchased players, there is nothing the club or Barrett can do, if a clubs major sponsor goes out on a "rogue hunt"

2. Ever since Coorey got the boot, Gould has been shitting on the club. "Barrett should stay at the Panthers" as the Dogs are a mess internally. "Big news" to come out of Canterbury in the next few days, with massive infighting, they really are a "rabble". He than gets his SMH colleagues to write up BS stories, like the one where Laundy's didnt pay a cent for this years sponsorship, and the next 2 years are only 500k per year. Disgruntled Dogs members are calling an EGM with 100 members signing off, etc, etc, etc

How the fuck would Gould know what is going on internally? The media has been pissed off all year, because the Canterbury board have been totally mute, and all of a sudden since Coorey got the boot, all internal discussions, plans and "fighting" have been leaked out?

Coorey didnt have a clue what the board was doing (footy wise) and since he was kicked out, he has been feeding shit to Gould and the media

I am pretty sure this has ticked off a number of board members, and now Gould is going to cop it from the Laundy's - as per this article. The Laundy's might or might not be going out into the bush, maybe they are going after someone else, but Gould has bitten more then he can chew, and the best thing which could happen to us, is if the Panthers go out in straight sets while we land a couple of their players

No problem, we make them an offer they can't refuse 1601125705947.png

Hopefully after our last game today all the bad news and negative energy is gone and from now on nothing but positive news and energy comes our way because us long serving Bulldogs supporters have had nothing but disappointed and we deserve a team full of players that actually cares about bringing respect back to our blue and white jersey!
Great news if this is true re: Landy going above and beyond and helping rebuild our team, shows that he isn't just about the money and actually really cares about our family club !!!
Bring them back to us on a 3yr contract min. matey and hopefully more great news to come soon .. UP THE DOGGIESSSSS!!!

Along with Burton & Staines, Kikau and Crichton please.

Goulds rants on national TV would be to die for
