It doesn’t make it any easier, but this was wholly expected as soon as Gus was approached.

If Gus had recommended Marys departure, the churches and mosques etc would be packed this weekend with people giving thanks.

Gus has just kissed goodbye any remaining shred of credibility he had left. If he doesn’t think Mary is the big issue, nothing can help him.

It illustrates just how out of touch the mainstream media is with the fans.

I hope @madunit or @OldPanther do an analysis of Gus secondment and the politics of it.

Courage ladies and gentlemen, courage.

You blokes must accept the inevitable and dat is I ain’t gonna be going anywhere !

My mate the human football will see to that , I will be back again next year and the year after that . So in the meantime stop your whinging and sit back and watch some footy on the tele . By the way those teams are only there as they scored most of their tries from kicks .

Just watching the first half of the roosters/rabbits game you see how important it is we sack macgregor.coaches. win games.How professional do roosters look
So what do you say about Bennett and demetriou then after that 1st half.

Geez it is refreshing to watch Bennett's post match conference and honesty that he made a mistake picking Douehi at wing etc etc, no excuses for his side jst started poorly.
Never from Mary will we get that assessment of himself.
Although if I was a Souths supporter I wuld think why did not Benny or JD look to swap him and Johnstone earlier in that 1st half if it was a mistake.

I can't say. I thought it was obvious to everyone.

There is plenty of irony to work with and this and the other threads should prove fertile ground for ideas. Fester is a good one from Gareth. Complete contempt portrayed as humour.

In my time here, whatever goodwill and benefit of the doubt Mary may have had for being a “ good bloke” has been superseded by open slather contempt, dislike and more recently heading into a genuine passionate hatred.

My explanation for such strong emotion is simply that people feel that despite repeated abject failure, he won’t let go of the job voluntarily. He just won’t do the right thing.

Instead, his mates in the club are working overtime to save his reputation which is a lost cause and brings further humiliation and degradation to a club already doing it hard.

A parade of players have joined the fray in dutiful obedience to their employer and the propaganda machine is in full swing with celebs, mates, cowardly journalists and now a media mother lode Gus Gould.
The attack on free speech was a sad example of how low these cowards will go.

I won’t even start on the slap in the face press conferences, where everyone gets the blame except the coach and when he accepted the responsibility once for the whole year it’s a half assed afterthought and is entirely disingenuous.”try’s from kicks” was so poor a reason, it made people want to throw up.

Mary is wealthy, he has a happy home life and seemingly billions of friends.

Why he has to torture his fans and members is surely a sickness in his mind. It’s called selfishness and people don’t frigging like it.

There ceo couldn’t manage to get the proverbial f in a b. In fact the whole board are mindless morons who embrace failure and heartbreak at every turn. The club is in deep trouble this year and their owner was in France chugging wine on a holiday. Couldn’t care less. Fans and members are an annoyance. They get in the way of profits on dying legacy media.

The leadership at sgi seem to hate their fans and members with a passion.

Even the titans fans have more respect for their management.

Their crap footy comes from the heart while sgi is entirely self inflicted.

But they will not win.

As everyday passes with Mary at the helm, people get more committed and obsessed to his overthrow. Even fans and members of other clubs see the justice in this David v Goliath battle. Laughter has turned to pity and is approaching horror at what our fellow fans have to endure.

Ring the bells, Mary is going down, whatever the cost.

And those who plot and scheme on his behalf, they will not escape unscathed, they will not be forgiven.

Great Post, you have covered pretty much everything that needs to be said.
It is like an awful dictatorship in place, where the people have no say.
Mr McGregor will never ever rate as a St George legend in my eyes, he has tarnished his reputation, people really dislike Anthony Mundine for his outspoken nature, whilst I have no hesitation in putting McGregor above Choc, this guy is a big Narcissistic animal!

Fantastic. Deserves to be read more than once.

Yes as both St.Georgio and Draco have said - excellent post . But how sad it is that we have plummeted to such depths of despair in an attempt to get our point across to those who manage the affairs of the J.V.

So many among our brethren have now realized that our friend will still be around come season 2021 . The Dragons financial situation apparently is such that not only can they not afford to payout the mans contract , but also they can not afford a replacement. New players - they will be cast offs from other clubs and nothing more . Our younger brigade will be tapped on the shoulder and asked to look elsewhere - a blessing in disguise ( one only needs to look at Ruben Garrick success at the Sea Eagles )

Imo they will / are taking the Dragons to their final resting place - that being the grave .
I give them another 5 years , horrible thing to say about the team that one has followed for well over 1/2 century , but whilst the current board and their ideology are in place I simply cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel .

To be fair, Phil Gould was asked to do a job. And he did the job that he was asked to do.

I respectfully disagree.

He should have declined on the basis that his presence could only serve the powerful pro-Mary forces.

He was only approached to try to legitimise the interests of the few over the many.

And not wanting to waste yet another opportunity to promote his own brand, gus dutifully agreed to a process ...where the outcome was already decided.

That’s a matter for him, true, but it’s seen as a breach of trust by many people and its largely irredeemable.

Listen to Gus getting interviewed on a topic and inevitably, his major topic point is what a good bloke and how important Gus is. Listen carefully, that’s what you get. It’s so boringly selfish.

Whether Mary is an old friend or not( which he is -as Gus admitted to) I suspect Gus had no idea what he was stepping into.

To somehow label it as independent is yet another lie.

A filthy, see-through lie and yet another act of total bastardry by people clinging on to power.

They must be stopped.

There is no off season for those who want Mary sacked. The liars expect a watering down, no way, they shall get a fire, an bloody inferno!

I find it interesting that the NRL sits quietly in the corner watching St. George being decimated by a mouldy and incompetent Board.
If they really had the best interests of the game at heart then St. George and its status in our game should be one of their priorities.
The new ownership managed to wrangle a bargain and has done NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING to improve the management and the fortunes of this great club.
In fact you could argue we are going backwards.
Johnston should be totally embarrassed after standing behind McGregor unconditionally while supporting his myriad of excuses led by the JDB saga and Widdop being injured.
Watching Hasler's patched up side win tonight just reminded me how important an inspirational coach is to any rugby league team.
Watching AFB dominating the Cronulla pack with the help of a no name Manly pack missing Tapau, Thompson and Sironen further highlights how much the JDB saga is actually no excuse at all for a professional and inspirational mentor.
The same applies for Widdop's absence compared to Turbo Tom being out with a long term injury.
It was a win built on defence and a great game plan as they exposed Cronulla's soft centre.
Finals time has come around once again and it just doesn't seem the same without the Mighty Saints in the battle.
