this period coincided with Bullfrog – a one off lightning bolt of an administrator and leader the likes of which Canterbury will never see again. Gould’s regime will never come close.
Better to look to some new ideas implemented by those with experience with current sports industry best practice.
Penrith got nowhere with Gould and neither will Canterbury – it’s Brian Fletcher that’s the key out west and Bulldogs should look for an equivalent quiet achiever.
Another eg is Parramatta – 5-6 years ago they brought in administrators with recent success (albeit with the help of head office at first) from the Roosters and winning clubs in the UK and those quiet achievers have now rebuilt Parramatta into a stable club that wins more than they lose, makes a profit etc etc…
Gould’s old ways and a rookie coach with no record of success is not the answer to rebuilding a basket case of a club (same story at the Tigers – rookie coach in Benji with old ideas from Sheens)
Bulldogs need more than a few good men but the truth is club's had years to get a handle on mess they created
Isn’t Bennett putting Gould and Ciraldo to shame up North?!
First season of the entire club and the Dolphins are competitive most weeks, if not winning 50% of their games.
Ciraldo and should have had 2-3 years (with a giant, established Sydney club) and are worse this year than any of the last 7 that they have not made the finals – bizarre!!
Never hear Bennett complaining of injuries even though the Dolphins have been decimated as well.

Wests forward pack is very very average – just 1st grade standard judging on performances, not names.
What happened with Klemmer? He was once the next big thing, now he’s just the next Aaron Woods – little
impact on defensive lines and really only a solid 1st grader now, nothing more. Very overrated – he was just about to reach his potential and suddenly the game changed to have more ad-libbing and less structure & at the same time he lost his leg-speed, explosiveness and strength. He barely troubles defenses now. Perhaps Papalii is going that way too? I wondered why Parra let him go so easily. Maybe he has reached his limit and doesn’t have much more progress to make, so instead they’d go back to developing some young-in’s (of which it seems they’ve got a couple – unlike the Tigers). Big Stefan was Wests big signing a few years ago from Parra also and was going to be the next Blocker Roach!! All I see him doing now is blocking up the middle of the field with his size but there’s been precious little improvement in him at the Tigers – no footwork, offloads etc…what are the coaches “coaching” over there?
Pulling the Tigers' teeth: Part 1 - Is this squad as bad as they're showing?
absolutely agree – he’s surprisingly good – concise, no waffle, gives a lot of detail that others don’t (strategy etc) but not using buzzwords – just in easy to understand language
