Examples?

What?

Bulldogs have taken Group 21 juniors - https://www.facebook.com/@Group21JRL/?locale=pl_PL
Bulldogs have taken North Coast juniors - https://www.facebook.com/p/North-Coast-Bulldogs-Rugby-League-100076903337589/

Gus has a go at the Knights for not bringing their juniors through, doesn't mention the Dogs took half of them (and the Roosters another 1/4) while the Knights were NRL run and had no money. It is absolutely outrageous and needs to be fixed.

I believe that the Roosters also took the central coast while we were NRL run.

Also lmao if Gus had a go at the Knights for not bringing juniors through.

Knights with a number of players out and a less than ideal prep for the match turned up today. Didn’t win but it was close. Obviously there are a number of players still with drive to win

We’ve been good the last 6 weeks against good opposition. Our balls start to the season with a soft draw is why we’re so low on the ladder. Play with the effort we have recently all year long and we’d of won 2 or 3 more games and been in the hunt for the 8.

Under rated reason is the influence of Joey a d the other old boys.

It's a bit rich of him to comment on junior development when he acted like Tex Hoy was the next coming of Billy Slater and Fletcher Sharpe was one of the best prospects in the NRL

To be fair this is the guy that had a hard on for Luke Brooks for years .

Attitude has never been our issue. More the lack of skill and brains (although tbf injuries haven’t helped).

Well he would be 100% right about that.

Joey thinks every player is the greatest player he's ever seen. I wouldn't reach too much into it.

I read this much into it: he is your greatest ever a of influential with the other old boys and long term club officials. Some of his team mates are in management or board or coaching positions within the Knights. Joey's thoughts are therefore influential, even if it's an undercurrent.
