I will always respect and be grateful for the work he put in. Maybe it is his health issues of late maybe it is he is being left behind the times.
For me I struggle to see how this roster of ours would be right on the cap if a few other people were in charge.
It isn't just that. Look at the last 12 months. The trial blow up I don't think he should of worried about it. Though if he did want more attack why get rid of Latu, Moylan and Bryce? You can't lose those 3 then expect to have good attack especially in a trial.
Then there was the unnessary garbage brought on after sacking Griffin. All that was needed was a statement he was gone. 4 times during the week he commented on it including mentioning Ivan which only heaped pressure on Nathan with the questions that followed.
Then there is the praising of other teams older roster while setting us up with a young one.
Those things are why Gus the club offical should go imo. Got nothing to do with him as a commentator etc
Latu was to pay for maloney. He can't even make first grade since he left so I don't understand what you're going on about there.
Moylan is a non committal party boy. Hed rather be on the piss and jamming baggies up his nose than to be committed to his football career. He could have been anything, but it's passing him at a fast rate. He's 27 now and hasn't progressed, still only plays 10 minutes a game, and 80 versing penrith. He didn't come alive until the last 10 just last week against storm when the game was well gone.
Bryce. Ye of short memory. Give me one reason he is better in any area than Maloney. He couldn't tackle for shit, he couldn't kick for shit, he threw the most geniused offloads when the team needed a quick hitup and fast play the ball. The dude had some mint touches but would throw the ball over the sideline and do some other f**ked up shit 5 times to every 1 miracle play that would pay off. And again, he's not even playing first grade elsewhere.
One of the most talented halves of this generation so far was brought into our squad in 2016, and since then it's been a bumbling failure of development due to the most amateur "gameplan", and a coach who honestly has no f**king idea what he's doing, and flat out refused to let people help.
Hook is a germ and should have been paying us for the privilege. It's a f**king miracle that we landed Maloney, and it was out of necessity for both clubs. I hope Maloneys mouth rubs off on Cleary so when he hangs up the boots, we'll have a leader to steer the ship around with luai as a running 5/8.
Re: Gus. How do you build experience?
This isn't roosters or broncos or storm where experienced players come flocking on unders for the opportunity to play under a historically successful franchise. We are a development club, so we use our own. You get them young enough, bring them to grade and sign them long term with the intention of keeping them happy and alongside their mates, to warn off any poaching attempts by the ca$h club$.
You don't like Gus as a person so you're quick smart to bury everything that happens. How can you honestly sit there and think that an NRL side losing to an ISP side was o.k. and GUS was out of line to hit up the coach over it?
Re: attack.
You realise we were the best attacking side in the competition until they backflipped on the slowing the ruck penalties?
Remember? Tigers, Panthers, warriors, saints at the top of the table when they were allowed to play fast flowing football?
Then the whole organisation did a 180 and we got stuck with more of the same bunch of rule bending cheats in the top 4 (I'll exclude South's from that argument).
Where were the infamous cheaters roosters, sharks and Melbourne when they were getting hammered by being grubs?
If you have any questions I'll be sure to clarify.
And the statements on hook. Gus has media commitments for a start, and it's his job to answer those questions. Griffin was the first one to come out and say that the JUNIOR NRL PATHWAYS was all his credit. The junior pathways that won NYC in 13 and 15, before he even had a job with us. He's a country bumpkin and is absolutely delusional if he thinks that he is responsible for the 13 and 15 NYC titles. He brought kids into grade.. By necessity because the senior players in front of them moved on or retired or were injured, and we didn't recruit externally. The kids he brought into grade were proven winners through the lower grades so it's not that much of an achievement either.
