That kind of try will be in our repertoire next year with Burton and JAC

CH9 10pm announcement.

Gus...

Yep I am waiting for it, my guess - TPJ

No, no, no, no, no.

So the gold coast has become the sporting capital of the country....

SOO3 on wed at Cbus
No less than 5 games at Cbus this weekend
Probably 4 or 5 AFL games this weekend too

And the same (without origin) for the next few weeks!

GF at Suncorp

Official on Dogs site.

Gus is coming home.

Announced on Fox earlier...

Gus to Bulldogs?

It is only Gus, can he play prop?

GM of Football.

Look….

He fixes clubs.

A NOT insignificant announcement.

Not 100% sure about this, but it may be a great move.

My only problem with Gus is his ego makes it hard to admit mistakes. But he doesn't make many and has a great knowledge of the game.

I'm with you.
He is better than this NZ All Blacks ex coach Hansen.

But this is the same guy that got rid of Ivan Cleary and then Hook and left the Panthers after he couldnt stop the board re-appointing Cleary.

Now look at them.

I just hope he doesnt rate Flanno and can engineer an exit asap...

The Board showed some real determination on this. Remember the position’s been open since Price left in…. whenever… seems like the 90’s.

They obviously wanted him and just kept at it.

If nobody else… for whatever dim reason…. they will be ecstatic.

If his appointment is an effort to rekindle the 80's, then we are fekked

F*** me he built the Panthers. And if he would’ve had his way at the end, they’d have had Bennet as coach and be shooting for a three-peat right now.

Our performance against Souths will prove to me how the team reacts to this decision.

Not expecting a win, but a good team effort.

I don't think so, Gus is up to date with the modern game and the basics of footy haven't changed.

The appointment of Hook at The Panthers is the only decision I would question.
But he has been associated with a lot of success.

Like HD mentioned, he wont admit he is wrong which can be polarising. But he IS a great league mind and can be influential in picking up some big names going forward so fingers crossed he can bring success

The Manly game should have been a one off, appart from that the last 5 weeks gave been ok.

Yes he has his faults and plenty of them, mostly revolving around ego.

But everyone’s got there faults and the only question I put to anyone tonight is can you name somebody better qualified to run our football dept and development?

Anyone?

Magnificent signing…. Gus at least has some blue n white pumping thru his veins…. Unlike that Fwit Dessy 

Welcome home Gus

Gus' appointment gives our current off contract players a lifeline....
If they can impress in the remaining rounds, Gus might just see something in them and influence Barrett to keep them....

On that note, I expect to see some good performances...

Well the good thing is that Gus is already referring to us as "us" and "we".

Unlike Des who took best part of 10months to call us "us"

Other than the Mock and Villi, no other names come to mind...

Shouldn’t you be nursing your No.1 client back to health from a fractured cheekbone?

No.

Well I'm pissed off they have moved me to a new role (advisor to the GM of Football) and replaced me with Gus....
