I'm not Gould's biggest fan but compared to Rothfool he's a saint/genius.

PENRITH boss Phil Gould snubbed another NRL chief executives conference yesterday that discussed the $100 million AFL invasion into Sydney's west that threatens the very existence of his own club.
NRL officials and club CEOs were shocked at Gould's no-show following his hasty exit from the previous meeting in July.
Items on the agenda Gould missed included a state-of-the-game presentation, including western Sydney, an independent commission update and the players' collective bargaining agreement.
The Panthers sent football manager Phil Moss in Gould's place.
It is not known if Gould's late decision not to turn up
is related to the Doodlegate storm from the previous conference in Coogee when his scribble on notepaper was leaked to
The Daily Telegraph before he left after only 90 minutes.
.
I sent Gould this text message yesterday when he didn't lob at 10am. "Gus, it's Buzz, any reason for no show at ceo meeting."
No reply.
So I sent another one: "Can you just tell me if it was for notebook security reasons."
Again, no reply.
A furious Gould had threatened to boycott future meetings in a scathing email.
"It is my recommendation that no one attend any future NRL meetings of this nature until such times as either the new independent commission has taken control of the game; or until you have put appropriate protocols in place which guarantee the security and integrity of these meeting rooms. David, quite seriously, this behaviour is appalling."
Other clubs took no notice of the recommendation.
The only other absentee was Parramatta CEO Paul Osborne, who was attending a relative's funeral.
How immature is this slug?
:crazy:
