          He was never the quickest in the halves so no surprise he got chased down 😀

          I guess he’ll be in the ACT legislative assembly or the Australian Senate in the next couple of years with this….

            of course he got "run down" is because his intention was to rip down the telstra pads!!

            that guy was real pissed at his telco

              @ACT-Crusader think you might want to check out his highlights. He was very quick. McFadden was the slower one , but better between the ears.

                        he's a 30 year old winger that is getting slower every month

                        been an enormous servant. But teams at the top can't afford sentimentality.

                          @mariner4life Yeah surprised they didn't do more to keep the hammer. Would have tried to move Feldt on personally.

                            So Penrith won everything

                            Gus just formalised their best advantage. They have sole dominion over the best rugby league nursery in the world. They develop the wealth of talent, their team is stacked with local juniors because they ALL grow up wanting to be Panthers. There is nothing else out there, rugby league is king

                            Throw in Sydney's fucked up property prices actively pushing league demographic families in to their area and the rest of the league should be worried.

                            Their top side won't be as good next year without kikau and apisau, but I don't bet against them unearthing good replacements.

                            And because they are local boys, and lots are family oriented poly boys, it's very hard to buy them away.

                            What Penrith has done has ensured that the NRL won't provide salary cap exemptions for talent that is developed by the club.

                            With their junior competitions and the financial clout of the league club, they'd be certain finalists year on year.

                              Gus Gould has come out and reckons the only way to even the comp is to get rid of the cap

                              I assume his thinking is that the comp needs a couple of competing teams, so those that can't develop can just buy.

                              The result of this is that the clubs at the bottom are staying there.

                                  i can never work Gus out. It's pretty clear he's not a complete moron. He's widely respected by people who know the game.

                                  But his public utterances are ridiculous.

                                  Yes buying average players on massive overs has fucked over so many clubs. Penrith and to a lesser extent the Cowboys have shown the focus on development can pay dividends, along with a couple of astute signings.

                                  The huge problem is, not all areas are the same.

                                      Munster signs a 4 year extension contract with the storm turning down a reported 400-600 extra with the dolphins .

                                      Apparently still getting a million a year anyway , how much extra do you need I guess if you are happy where you are .

                                        i can never work Gus out. It's pretty clear he's not a complete moron. He's widely respected by people who know the game.

                                        But his public utterances are ridiculous.

                                        I'm not privy to his private insights so can only judge him on what he says publicly. Which doesn't bode well for those who think he's an intellect.

                                        So Penrith won everything

                                        Gus just formalised their best advantage. They have sole dominion over the best rugby league nursery in the world. They develop the wealth of talent, their team is stacked with local juniors because they ALL grow up wanting to be Panthers. There is nothing else out there, rugby league is king

                                        Throw in Sydney's fucked up property prices actively pushing league demographic families in to their area and the rest of the league should be worried.

                                        Their top side won't be as good next year without kikau and apisau, but I don't bet against them unearthing good replacements.

                                        And because they are local boys, and lots are family oriented poly boys, it's very hard to buy them away.

                                        What Penrith has done has ensured that the NRL won't provide salary cap exemptions for talent that is developed by the club.

                                        With their junior competitions and the financial clout of the league club, they'd be certain finalists year on year.

                                        Gus Gould has come out and reckons the only way to even the comp is to get rid of the cap

                                        I assume his thinking is that the comp needs a couple of competing teams, so those that can't develop can just buy.

                                        The result of this is that the clubs at the bottom are staying there.

                                        Gus is a moron. Further proof you don't require a functioning brain to be moderately successful.

                                        Put it this way it was his pathway idea that he brought to life at Penrith that they are reaping the benefits of now which was also what he was trying to start at the Warriors before going to Canterbury.

                                        He also had 2 premierships in his first 5 years of coaching, the guy has some genuinely great ideas and records to back up his actions.

                                        As @mariner4life noted he also some shit ones and just lets everyone hear what he is thinking whether he has thought it through or not, not helped by being a dick head. Can be a useful one if on your team lol

                                          Munster signs a 4 year extension contract with the storm turning down a reported 400-600 extra with the dolphins .

                                          Apparently still getting a million a year anyway , how much extra do you need I guess if you are happy where you are .

                                          a million a year to compete at the Storm?
                                          or a $1.4m to battle away trying to get out of the bottom 4?

                                          Easiest call ever.
