Steady appointment. I reckon Gus will be quite hands on in the selection of the team though. We need to know who is with us moving forward. Not a good position for Potter but if he gets a few wins he may throw his hat in the ring for other coaching gigs if they come up.

Only permanent gig he would be offered is as an assistant, but don't get your hopes up.

i reckon he is more of hope - if things go okay of getting an assistant role somewhere else.

Potter's job is just to take the heat while Gus works in the background, I'm happy with that.
Probably only mission is to finish 15th or higher to avoid the spoon.

He just needs to win 3 games and/or avoid the spoon and he is justified to be better than baz

Michael Potter announced as interim Head Coach of the Bulldogs
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have today announced that Michael Potter will take over as interim Head Coach until the end of this season.
Potter, who is currently the Head Coach of the Mounties side in the NSW Cup, will move into the Bulldogs role immediately.
Potter, has a major history with the club, having been part of the Bulldogs' Premiership winning sides of 1984 and 1985.
He then made a successful transition into Head Coaching roles with the Catalan Dragons (2006-08), St Helens (2009-10), Bradford Bulls (2011-12) and the Wests Tigers (2013-14).
Bulldogs General Manager of Football, Phil Gould, was pleased to have someone of Potter's experience taking charge for the rest of the season:
"It is great to have a genuine legend returning to the club. Michael has extensive experience in the game and will bring a new voice and new ideas to our players.
We really appreciate Michael stepping up to help our club at this time."
Potter was excited about the opportunity to help the club through an important period :
"I'm very honoured to be back at the Bulldogs. I wish it were under different circumstances as I've known Trent for a long time and I really feel for him.
I will do what I can to help the club at this time."
Hoping it's the St Helens Mick Potter 49/68 rather than the Tigers version 17/48.

Can't be worse than Baz. Hopefully he can inject some life into the team and get them playing with more effort and pride in the jersey. Playing more youngsters and dropping some of the dead weight will surely be the priority the rest of the season..

There is absolutely no pressure on Potter, never any pressure on caretaker coaches when you take on the team coming last. It's not as if he has taken over while the team is in the 8 and the pressure is on to keep them there. Nothing to lose for Potter IMO.
The only way Potter will be considered as the coach for 2023 and beyond is if he dramatically turns us around and we make the 8. But I can't see that happening. Although funny things do happen.

We might have to ask him that question. Mr Potter, are you Always a Bulldog because you we're once a Bulldog ?

Probably the best man for the job short term.
Only problem with Mick is though if he leads us to another wooden spoon it will likely end his head coaching aspirations. And if he does lead the team to a few wins he will still get replaced next season regardless.

Hoping just to see a back to basics approach. Even though we looked rudderless I think it may have been from overcoaching and players being confused with a complicated gameplan. Rugby league is a simple game, run hard, tackle hard, run up in support and play what you see and I feel we will do okay
