Phil Gould Watch

[Pumpkin]

Xavier Coates is offside in a kick chase which results in a try. The try is consequently disallowed. Phil Gould complains. He agrees that Xavier was offside but thinks they should have allowed the try anyway.

In fairness Phil Gould made a lot of sense on 100% footy, apart from not understanding that shoulder charges are illegal, regardless of the situation.

I made this thread to make fun of Phil Gould, but he's making a fool of me. He said emphatically 3 or 4 times that Ryles would not join the Dragons when everyone, every journo, thought it was a done deal. Absolutely amazing.

Edit: Gould fooled me again. He actually orchestrated the whole thing and talked Ryles out of it. What a sinister mongrel. Stupid Ryles for listening to him.

Gus states in the Tigers Canberra match that the Tigers are getting on top here. Immediately the Tigers pass the ball over the sideline and Canberra score two quick tries. Gus makes no admission of his mistake.

Later in the game Gus warns of Canberra's tendency to go to sleep in the last ten minutes. When this happens, Gus repeatedly boasts about himself.

Again, Gus has no respect for the rules when he complains about a penalty for a field goal kickers legs being taken out from under him.

Phil Gould comments during the Penrith Storm match, when the score was close, that Melbourne are a champion team and they aren't out of it. As soon as he said that I knew Penrith would run away with it, which happened.. Melbourne never scored another point. He's always wrong and never admits it. If he ever gets something right he broadcasts it from the rooftops. Madly in love with himself. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a romantic, candle lit dinner with himself, just with a mirror on the other side of the table.

Gus wants NRL to support international game, great, I agree.

Maybe he can start by keeping his thoughts to himself regarding the World Club Challenge after years of disparaging comments about the concept or better still support the concept!

That’d be a big cash hit for nrl. At moment states are paying $5-10mill to host plus sell out crowds at expensive ticket prices, your getting non of that in Vegas for,origin.
