2020: NRL 360

[Gary Gutful]

Agree, total flog

I like the setup Ch9 have with Sterlo and the journos on Sundays footy show. Only a 10 minute segment and they cover the main topics and give their thoughts. No over the top "look at me im the loudest" type stuff there.

Be very careful praising Ch 9 on here.

 

[Gronk]

Wasn't that a pile of shit?

Its shows like that that bring into question the need for a 24hr NRL channel.

Add to that Vonnie & Co who struggle to find shit to talk about in her pre-game show. Cringy at times.

New CEO on, andrew Abdo

I like him so far, heard him few times, seems switched on

Sounds just like the last two, in my opinion. Just words.

Yeah agree for now

I made the comments before the interview on nrl; 360, only heard snippets of him prior, and the fact Peter V'landys thinks he will go down as the best NLR ceo ever

Time will tell

Can't expect too much, when your boss is Peter V'Landys, tbh.

There is no leadership within the NRL - none at all.

On NRL360 they showed Gould saying that he was forced to sack Griffin at Penrith. Paul Kent does some digging and a board member told him that Gould advises the board that Griffin cannot coach but he could still work with him.

Assuming this is true what a toxic lying backstabbing attention seeker Gould is. First this and then he tells Barrett to pull out of the Canterbury gig. Maybe they should hire him to fix that too.

He is nothing more than a nasty agenda driven f**kwit that holds grudges. I’d like to see a death match between him and Graeme Hughes.

Its a CEO's job to use words when most people can't.

Tough gig but I'll judge him on his actions first and foremost.

He has the unenviable task of reporting to a Chairman who has enormous profile and who has positioned himself publicly as the leader of the NRL. That's unusual and will likely mean that Abdo needs to be a more operational CEO, by virtue of V'Landys doing a large portion of his job as it currently stands.

You don't survive in Rugby League in the long term without being an agenda driven merkin.

Sterlo did. Only agenda he had is hating Paul Kent and being bald.

100%. What Gould said to Barrett was abhorrent. Scare-mongering rubbish. He is also responsible for sacking a coach whilst they were top 4. What a bitter merkin he is.

Do I remember correctly that Gould hired Griffin and Cleary for that matter.

 

[Avenger]

He sacked Cleary because ‘he was tired.’ Replaced him with Griffin but now he can’t coach, apparently. Their relationship disintegrated. Then re-hired Cleary again. Then he left because he had a power struggle with Cleary which he couldn’t win.

There is a common denominator here.

He's a rare breed.

Phillip Ronald Gould was a bog average player, a run-of-the-mill commentator, and an over-rated coach. He was a good coach, but he is hardly a rugby league savant.


He is an over-rated fart-sniffer, who believes his own hype.

Until he coaches a poor, to average, team, and gets them firing, he is over-rated, imo - even Mal "rugby league has done nothing for me" Meninga coached Queensland to a zillion wins, so the Origin coaching yardstick isn't exactly flawless...

He was against re-hiring Cleary.


The board went over his head.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Im sure he could fix our Eels though if only BA would talk to him.

 

[Gronk]

But wait, there's more.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Egomaniac.

 

[hineyrulz]

But I have to admit lol @ the Fox crew getting their mate Griffen a job. The guy is a spud who has been sacked from two clubs and yet again another club lining up to give him a gig.

Ive got an open mind on his appointment. A 56% win rate. One sacking was the result of him taking exception to Goulds "do it my way" interference while the other was a result of Bennett wanting to come home and probably whiteanting him to make it happen. I wish him luck and will be a keen observer.
