Trying to rank GOULDs brain explosions of the past decade

[T-Boon]

It isn't an easy task but as a fan base we should probably try:

1. the firing of Ivan Cleary;
2. the hiring of Anthony Griffin;
3. expressing the opinion that knock on's should be ignored;
4. becoming a player agent for 3 weeks and then doing a Mal Meninga and realising it is too difficult;

thats my top four in order.

 

[Pommy]

Getting a job commentating on the four nations, then spending all the time complaining he had to get his fat arse out of bed and complaining about having to commentate on the four nations. merkin

 

[Perth Red]

Comp to be split into a a Sydney and Non Sydney conference with a super bowl at end of season lol.

 

[Scott]

Cool thread. Not.

In all seriousness though, the appointment of Corey Payne as CEO wins.

 

[taste2taste]

Gus whinging for 10 years about 2 refs and then we change it to 1 ref and he whinges they make mistakes.

 

[taste2taste]

Channel 9 should get the award for biggest brain explosion for hiring him.

He is the only commentator in world sports that spends the whole game saying how sh#t everything is.

 

[Munky]

My favourite is his current war on penalties being given for attackers stopping in the defensive line.

"Where are they meant to go?"

I dunno, maybe somewhere else on 600 square metre or so field.

Edit: Oops that should be 6,000 or so.

 

[Perth Red]

So much gold from Gould. Early this year when he became both a climate change denier AND Covid denier in one tweet was epic lol

"If I remember rightly, in January we were dealing with devastating bushfires & drought," he wrote.
"World about to end due to climate change.
"Don't hear anyone on climate change now.

"I certainly didn't hear anyone banging on about #coronavirus 2 months ago.
"All experts in hindsight."

 

[Walpole]

His review of the Dragons, where he didn't actually conduct a review but still managed to get them to sack everyone except for McGregor based on said review, was top shelf.

Using the wrong shampoo that one time

 

[Lemon Squash]

Yeh Corey ‘Produce 2IC’ Payne as CEO definitely a highlight

Can’t get no respect I tell ya

1. The side had just played for last place and couldn't even win that. Not that ridiculous.
2. 58% win rate. Finals every year. This is why the Dragons want him.
3. I'll take your word for this one. T-B wouldn't make something up surely.
4. Got a better offer from the Warriors.

As well as being an authority on the game, Gus is an actor, playing a role dictated by his employer. If you don't like it Kayo is $25 a month. It never ceases to amuse the people who whinge about him, yet continue to watch him every week just to save a few pennies. The late Stan Zemanek was very successful on radio talking to a devoted audience who hated his guts. John Pearce was another. It is a long standing tradition in Australian media.

That was after he had seen Pennywise the clown.

 

[gerg]

I rank him somewhere between southwalesrabbit and T-boon. Undecided who is first and who is third though?

Hiya Gussy!

I guess its just your name but whenever I hear from you I picture you as a smelly, homeless drunk at a library computer.

 

[Saxon]

Whining and bitching about the wrestle.
NRL instructs refs to penalise the shit out of wrestlers.(which was reducing wrestle)
Whining and bitching about the number of penalties.

Also "stop being pedantic about the rules".

 

[Fangs]

Walking out early from Origin II is right up there in terms of brain explosions.

Sacking a coach I wouldn't call a brain explosion. At least the Penrith coaches truly deserved the sack.
