Hook handled himself extremely well. I believe he was honest, and gave his perspective on the situation. He was respectful and showed very little bitterness towards the club, but did so to a degree towards Gus.
Yes he claimed to have contributed towards the success, because he did. He wasn’t the man to take us forward though.
He thinks Ivan would be a good replacement.
He said Gus runs the club and will be coach for the rest of the year.
I was impressed by how Hook handled himself. Well done Hook and all the best.
OK Here goes recap of interview:
Hook brought to club to bring junior players. Claims junior development a mess and he Hook organised the pathways to sucess,
Went on about how he brought NRL from wooden spoon to top 4. Didn't mention injury curse or 15 or Ronnie Palmer.
Blow up during dogs game. Gould horrifed with how the players played. Hook was amused a little by this.
Claims that the players weren't tough enough until he arrived.
No mention about staff relationships either.
Admitted that came to Gould playing no speakies with Hook.
Different coaching ideas. Hook believed in grinding out games. Gould liked flair and attacking structure and plays.
Said that Gould wasn't up to date on latest coaching methods.
Admitted he had a problem with Matt Moylan
To be honest it sounded like a job interview.
