He's the perfect example of knights juniors for the last 8yrs or so... talked up deluxe as a star junior coming through, but has barely looked first grade.
Didn't lie down... so all good in Vlando ball
Hiku did one on I think Ponga too
Crossland's best game was when he covered Gamble's cat 1 as a 6 but Gamble is a better 6 than him and he is a terrible Hooker, especially in defence, They tossed out Levi and probably should of kept him.
Maybe they should have signed Levi for 2023, but the decision to let him go was sound. He played five seasons there, 83 games in total and it just wasn't working out. They've been unlucky with Brailey but they should have had a proper under-study. I don't see anything from Rugless to suggest he'll be much better for them.
True but I doubt Gus had any more connections with Warriors then he did with Newcastle.
Haas moved to Qld when he was 12, he is our homegrown player, literally months away from only being QLD eligible, under the old rules he would of played for us likely.
He wasn't there long before COVID virtually shut everything down. If anything, it ended up hurting the Warriors more than anything as he was able to gather intel for his next appointment and he's clued them into some quality NZ talent coming through. Even when he was with the Warriors, I seem to remember him being linked with the Bulldogs and pitching what he would do if he was brought into the club. Almost seemed like an informal interview for the position.
If that is the case Gus can **** himself, I thought the appointment would of been massive for the game had he stayed there though.
To be fair, I believe it was a consultancy role so he didn't have the responsibilities he has at the Bulldogs. It's a role he's played at various clubs and it hasn't always worked out for them. He was involved with Souths when they were brought back, it took them years to find their footing and they did it without Gus.
It is basically because all their pathways are linked to the gold mine that is regional NSW, I think Gus role was limited due to covid anyway regarding Warriors, he was talking about NZ pathways but when the club couldn't even be there all he could do was SEQ poaching(like Walsh).
How long was he the coaching director at the roosters?
From a warriors fan perspective Gould offered us hope that the club was on the right track and prepared to invest in the right areas. It gave us credibility and a connection to the powerbrokers in the game. And I’m sure he helped us out behind the scenes to enable us to stay in the comp during covid. All this was probably worth more than any on the field results.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Big Pete - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .March 11, 2008

Of course Warriors fans may have a different perspective and recognise the improvements he made.
