Nine stands down Phil Gould

[Raging Rabbit]

i heard from a reliable source that gould has signed a multi million deal with french tv in preparation for the mass exodus of players from league to union.

Kremlin?

Paul Harrogan going head-to-head with Gallop.

It's just been confirmed.

Serious?

 

[Michelle Leslie]

Well let's hear them for once. Gus is just typical of Rugby League mentality that we get caught up in the personal grudges and egos and look for someone to blame for the situation we're in rather than looking for ways to get out of it.

why the f would Gould want to help a bloke he cant stand!
Are you that stupid!

 

[salivor]

So what you're saying is that Gus is more concerned with petty grudges than the welfare of the game? I think we can agree then that Gus is a petty individual.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

M.Johns along with Harrogan should be stood down,they offer sweet fa.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

And Vautin as well.

 

[Brutus]

Serious?

No only joking.

But I've just heard on 2UE that Peter Fitzsimmons will be on a panel with Sterling and Voss asking Gallop questions.

Get that Rah Rah idiot off!!!!!

 

[Mr Saab]

Fitzy? Why the f**k would they put him on there? He gives less than 2 sh*ts about league.
f**k ch9 know how to screw up a show.
But then that doesnt suprise me....this is the channel than pumped up the usless show "Monster House"

 

[Renowned League Expert]

How pathetic of Channel 9, but only the sort of thing we've come to expect.

Gould is a great man. Gallop is a flunky.

 

[Razor]

i usually like gould, but his standing up for sbw is pathetic

He didn't stand up for sbw. He has said that he disagrees with what he did, but isn't surprised because of the poor management of the game.

In his position he has every right to choose who doesn't interview him.

He is a CEO. The one position, that should not have the right to choose who to be interviewed by. He's not a low-level administrative officer who has every right to pick and choose. But the CEO needs to be held accountable, and you don't get to held accountable by picking and choosing who to be interviewed by.

at least Fitzgerald offers suggestions to change the game. Gould just sits and grizzles about his nappy rash.

Do you ever listen to Gould? Gould gives lots of suggestions -

* Scrap the salary cap
* Introduce teams to Perth, Adelaide, Central Coast
* Scrap the Video Ref for non-try situations

I'm not a gould fan,but he certainly had good points.the last point on jamie lyons was spot on. it may not be 100 % the same but the grub was brought back to play for australia after walking out on a contract.

Good on you for being an eels supporter, missing the bigger picture for bitter misguided backward thinking.

 

[mik01]

That may be true, but is an average of 14 500 decent?

I say no.

i agree.
its sh*t.

look at the AFL crowds.

NRL is a disgrace, and it because there are people that think 'average' crowd figures of 14500 are acceptable. we all know that these figures are only right up there thanks to the Qld teams - what are the average figures for the Sydney games I wonder????

 

[LeagueXIII]

Go and reread what I wrote, the 14,500 IS for Sydney clubs and this has been achieved in a period of mass negativity. Make the game trendy again and we'd be around 20,000.

do your figures count origin?

while the figure could be better, and it is getting better over time, it is still the highest average of any domestic 'rugby' competition on earth. with better promotion, less negativity in the media and a different competition structure, every club in the comp will be averaging at least 20000. it will happen.

 

[Special K]

* Introduce teams to Perth, Adelaide, Central Coast

umm he isn't for perth or adelaide he is very pro more teams in nsw and qld. He has came out before and supported the notion that the storm should be on the coast. He wants us to "have our own back yard in order" before we go off into other states.

When Gallop mentioned it in the interview about WA and SA I thought guss was about to blow his top.

 

[T to the T]

The only problem I sense from that interview was that Gus cares about the game. Gallop has no idea, he is talking himself out of teams in Perth and 2nd Brisbane. The man's an arse and has no passion/emotion for the sport. He'll be gone, not soon enough but leaves with a nice paycheck without doing anything useful

I'm on the other side of the globe so can't do much, but you guys need to stand up and be counted before the AFL or RU lands another crushing blow:roll:

Gallop OUT
News OUT
Nine OUT
