It amazes me that the Kennel still hasn't worked out how Gus operates. Gus NEVER pays overs for a player, which automatically excludes any player who the whole rugby league community rates highly - like Munster! Gus goes after young blokes who he rates higher than their current clubs do, such as Franklin Pele. On the rare occasions he goes after a big name, he goes for one whose current club can no longer afford him, because of salary cap pressure, such as Kikau or Mahoney.
Also - most important - he keeps quiet about it until the deal is done.
