.....and don't get me started on Gould coming to the Dragons.

He is a dividing force and that is the last thing we need, well.... that and a real coach.

Hi Possm,

I'm actually ok with our current management but Phil Gould is what I'd consider a "must target" if he came on the market.

 

[Crush]

Id take Gus.
But since there is absolutely no talk of him coming to Dragons not sure its worth discussing?

 

[Dracarys]

Dear o dear o dear.

 

[BennyV]

Absolutely 100% yes. And anyone who wants the Dragons to be successful should want him on board.

I mean, it will never happen, but it’s a nice thought. And I look forward to possm’s delusions about this occurring in every post for the next 6 months!

A big NO from me.
The shine has rubbed off that penny.
Gould is a Rugby League know it all who is misfiring badly right now.
In any case, we already have a bunch of know it all barnacles already rusted on at St. George.
We don't need another one.

Hear where your coming from, however with the current administration, he is exactly what we need!

How’s penriff’s 5 year plan going? Enough said

 

[VodkaSaint]

5 year plan is now ten.
Fires Ivan cleary and makes him break a contract to bring him back.
What is he going to do now that penrith are going shit .
Oh wait sack Ivan cleary again.
Looks like he has clue. NO FROM ME.

Gould is an egotistical turd who the media kowtow to for no apparent good reason
His persona is far greater than his ability
A poor man’s Jack Gibson.

I don't mind Phil Gould, he was an excellent coach, he is a knowledgeable man and he is passionate about the game. As a commentator he can be astute but too often he seems to latch on to a particular point and then flog it to death irrespective of any evidence to the contrary. As an administrator, from an outsider's point of view he doesn't seem to have improved Penrith, just made the whole place more volatile. Not sure what Penrith fans think of him, but I see him as being disruptive if he came to StGI and not in a good way.

Can't deny his coaching credentials. Can deny his management capability.

Umm incorrect, he didnt make Ivan CLEARY break a contract, he had nothing to do with Cleary coming back, he admitted this yesterday on 100% League, also in the media today and it was also confirmed with the GM at Penrith David O'neal, Gould wanted Bennett and O'neal wanted Cleary.

Will not happen ever

We need heart and integrity - we need Brad Mackay

Do you think Gus would would accept Mcgregor’s stupidity? I think not

Theres a long read on NRL.com talking about the Seibold/Bennett saga.

Worth a read

You are correct re Gus's choice, and I reckon that has pissed him off big time, as he seems to want to make all the calls.

Whilst no one here is doubting his credentials, I honestly think he has become quite bitter, and very divisive. He used to be an analyst and a good one. I find his persona has changed and is looking long term for the lead job at the NRL. He's done a lot at the pennies, but has not met his own targets.

Gould has obviously turned the Panthers into a financial powerhouse with great resources and a seemingly endless supply of juniors. On that front, he has done a great job.

But that doesn't necessarily mean success on the field. An underachieving squad, a revolving door of coaches. They have only had a moderately successful time on the field with Gus at the helm, and have never really challenged for a title, despite all their riches.

On the other hand, the Sharks (salary cap cheating aside) managed to win a comp despite all the issues with their management, and their basket case of issues, and no money.

Just goes to show that on and off field success don't necessarily go hand in hand.
