I cannot see how a senior official of a direct competitor can firstly try and get Saints best junior talent to join his club in the off season (break his contract mind you), then talk to our best player and get him to break a contract and leave to join his club (twice) and follow that up with telling one of the best rookie coaches who is about to sign with Saints not to join? As if Ryles, Bud and Hunt reached out to Gus and asked for his opinion. Seriously. Why can't Saints or in fact the NRL do something about this crap. He then criticised the Knights for sending 1 player mind you to Bali when a few of his Dogs players did the same thing. Why can't he just focus on his own club and not stick his nose in others? Everyone says how good he is yet he sacked Cleary and signed Hook to take over, only to get over ruled and the BOD spoke to Cleary to get him back after Gus's huge blunder. Panthers never looked back. He spent 5 mins at Warriors and anything good that comes out they try and link it to Gus.
Have you heard of any other senior official from a club try so hard to destabilise a club? Greg Alexander has a senior role at the Panthers and works at Fox Sports yet you never see him talking to other players from other clubs to break contracts or talk coaches out of joining. I have never see or read anywhere that Brandy gave "advice" to a player or coach of a rival.
How Saints can sit there and let this happen is beyond me.
Did Gus try out for Saints in his juniors and was told he was not good enough and has beef with them since? God knows but whilst at Roosters I remember all he did was target Dragons players at each club he goes to. He got Barnhill and Gourley to join the the Roosters when he was there as a prime example.
Don't get me started on why the Dragons would let this guy near the joint and do a review. All they did was invite him to get dirt on the Dragons more than anything.
He keeps harping on how he loved going to the hill and cheering the red V but did he really? That is definitely a huge cover up. When has he ever done anything to help Saints or said anything positive apart from his junior days on the hill.
Wake up Saints and stand up to this goose. Show some backbone. You simply cannot have this guy go behind your backs and talk to your players or anyone who in on the verge of signing a contract. They should simply report this to the NRL. This behaviour would not be accepted in any other code only the NRL with a guy who simply thinks he is the Godfather of the NRL.
