They made the correct decision to discard the impostor now & not wait till mid next season.Richo should b doing the same with our clueless coach
Agree, but he won’t Ted because he tied his flag to his mast ages ago.

I think he should have distanced himself more than he did.

But when the time comes for Benji, it will be a board decision and Richo will be but a messenger.

Hopefully he has a much better 2025 with new troops. He will have to.

Now my main spy is encamped within a heart beat of the bulldogs deep state.

That is that he is friendly with some high brow bulldogs legends.

The common belief is that Gus is using the dogs, but I am told, it is in fact the other way around. And Gus has brought a lot of glittering talent to the dogs for well unders.

And it’s same source who warned Dean Pay not to drink from the poisoned chalice.

@Timmah may know more about the Gus double cross. It is quite interesting.


And to be fair, I have met Jason Taylor and he is a pretty decent guy despite a couple of mistakes in his past.

He knows his footy, I hope he makes a head coach comeback sonewhere.

Well the story goes that Dean was cavorting the head coaching job for a long time as the Des era fell into disrepair.

He slowly built up his support and influence and was appointed.

He was warned that despite his ambition and deserved self belief, that the roster wasn’t where it needed to be for him to make the impact he sought.

But against the well meaning advice, he took his chances. A bit like Benji.

Things did get a bit out of hand, especially when players were caught sleeping with teacher and students on school visits and the ceo was shot in the head too.

No criticism of Dean who is a very popular figure.

As for Gould, let’s not think he left the Panthers without other plans and what isn’t well publicised is the amount of time and trouble the dogs went to in order to secure his services.

And to be sure, it’s been a good decision on their behalf. Apart from ciraldo, they’ve been more than busy trying to entice the best of the panther training personnel over the last few years.

The dogs got their Gus and with that, his connections and influence.

They’d certainly still want Leeds, Wallace and other smug luminaries.

The dogs have been big winners in the Gus displacement, not Gus.

And fyi my spies at the Bulldogs tell me Jason Taylor has kicked some coaching ass over there.

The sneaky rat ciraldo has had considerably less to do with their success this year.

Taylor is no man manager as his time at Souths and the Tigers shows. His inability to identify, attract and retain talent shows he's not cut out to be a head coach. He's a shrewd tactician no doubt, which makes him a great in his current role as assistant coach. If he's playing Michael Hagan to Ciraldo's Meninga and it's working, then that's great for the Dogs. Maybe Hodgo will provide a similar role here.
