No Gould greed has selling out his own players .Sexton gone Mahoney gone who is next must be the worry for any player right now

Gould doesn’t know when to stop.

Gould doesn’t know when to stop.

It beggars belief what potential he has seen in Galvin.

Yeah, he might be good when he finally grows into his frame, but it is currently at the expense of players that have put the work in to building some success.

The old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Nah. We've done this to enough teams for it to not be a fluke.

Gould's retail therapy hasn't helped mind you.

Dogs will soon realise. For all the good Gus does he let's himself down with impatience

And arrogance,pettiness,ego and hes one ugly merkin of a bloke

Doesn't get easier for the Dogs. They have to go to Townsville next week.

But will you give your 14 more than 7mins per game?

If it is realistic then the 14 can't be substituted into the game

Please, don't laugh to hard at me, what's a merkin?

Thanks, that's why I couldn't find the meaning on line.

The plane will be harder than the game cowboys no threat to them

Lucky its a big ant game so I can play Jye Grey at prop and win the Dally M.

Not sure about that tonight.

Melbourne's backline looks absolutely dreadful. I just noticed Papenhuyzen isn't playing as well.

Hughes should get them home but wouldnt mind a sneaky bet on the Cows in Townsville.

And you meant next week against the Dogs? Sorry.

Dogs are 0-2. They are on the slide. At best the Dogs sneak home in another 'grand final' type performance in the Townsville heat which will only further derail their season.

The last game didn't keep a tally of the tries across a season, so maybe not

Yeah i know its a small dev studio but so much basic stuff they cant get right. Swear if the wind is like rll4 100km/hr and changes direction every time you kick the ball.

I don't expect 25 year career management mode like Madden but shouldn't be too hard to tally tries across a season. The other versions could

Dogs board should be saying thanks Gus, he's a big bonus - we'll take it from here

I think it’s highly unlikely the Bulldogs board will be sacking Gus Gould anytime soon.

Given where they were when he took over in July 2021 and where they are now they have done very well and despite there two recent losses remain well placed for a top four finish.

I think the jury is well and truly out on the wisdom around the mid season signing of Lachlan Galvin but other than that he is bringing in a pretty decent front rower in Thompson for 2026 and a dragons young gun forward. They also some highly promising junior talents of whom a lot is expected.

Personally, I’m not a fan of seeing players who are under contract forced out of a club as a consequence of signings, but that‘s just the reality and the NRL seem powerless to stop it.
