What a shit show of a club. Mahoney, Sexton told to get on your bike.

Gould lying to everyone. Absolute dog.

Phil Rothfield calling him out to be a joker. Lying, using the media to get his man. Lying to players at his club.

Place is all over the shop, and he has no idea which way to head.

Recruitment is directionless

As far as I know, he was doing similar stuff at Penrith before they told him to f off.

Matt loves him but I'm glad he is at Bulldogs. not the Dolphins.
Matt, in fairness, parrots what he reads online. I’m not sure his opinion really are his own at time. Much of what he posts are gross generalisation garnered from some journalist.

A common theme is that his success can’t be questioned. I’d suggest as a coach he won the comp at a club whose salary cap position has always been questioned. He won as an origin coach with a team that my grandmother would have won with. Yes he owns th trophies. But I do t rate him at all. I think he is an absolute myth.

When Chammas questioned him. He was rattled, sounded dumb, contradicted himself, lied, then got personal. All signs of someone with a pea brain that loves the sound of his own voice.

Just my opinion.

I’ll put my neck out there.

This move could ruin Galvin. Good player. He isn’t a 7. He played outside a good organising player that ran the side. With a good hooker that did the same.

He won’t have that at the bulldogs. With their only organising half and hooker being told to move on.

What Galvin did well was play what he saw, and made good run decisions.

Whilst the dogs are coming first, that freedom won’t be afforded to him, with all the pressure that this situation will provide.

I think he fails.

People don’t rate Benji. But one thing Benji knows is 5/8ths, and it’s job.

Watch Mason play now. If you see a spark. It’s partly about the setup.

If you see nothing. It was all Galvin.

This cowboys v tigers game will give you a hint to how much was purely Galvin

Phil Gould might well make a good head coach. I just don't rate his as a GM of football.

Agreed.

After spending all this money and creating all this upheaval over there. When he doesn't win anything what do you think the bulldogs are going to do? Sack Ciraldo?

If he doesn't win it this year, next year he is on the hot seat. If he doesn't win it next year, and that window starts closing, what do the Bulldogs do? Spend more money to make it happen? And as per the information I posted a while ago when people thought they were the richest club in the league, when in actual fact the Dolphins are a lot closer to that then the Bulldogs. I think they could do themselves a Man Utd having to clean up the mess Gould leaves.

I don't think they have a hope this year. Even if Galvin is a way better halfback than Sexton, their pop-gun forward pack is going to get smashed at the business end of the season, if not earlier. Like they were last game😇 . Sorry Matt.

Neither do I.

But their organization believe they are in a title winning period. So they are expecting a trophy in the short term. Hence, the move for Galvin. If they didn't think they were in a title window, they wouldn't have made this move.

The Pressure to win in this window is real. My question is will Gould survive? and who will he fuck over to ensure he does?
