Trent Barrett has resigned as the coach of the Bulldogs. Probably means the team will lift and flog us this week.
It’s somewhat satisfying watching NRL360 crew chew up Gus & the Bulldogs.
Flanagan to coach the Bulldogs, I hope that happens. Can’t stop laughing.
I actually much prefer Gould to the germs on 360. I watched a bit of it. They were all acting like they were completely innocent and not a part of the pressure.

Yeah. I was just happy we weren’t being taken apart for a change. Someone else can take the heat for a while.
Barrett’s departure has upset Steve Hansen, the long-time All Blacks coach who joined the club as a consultant. Hansen and Barrett had become close over the past 18 months and the Rugby World Cup-winning mentor was disappointed about the development.
“It’s the wrong decision. It’s a shame really,” Hansen told Fox Sports.
“Yes, the results haven’t been what they wanted but there’s a lot of reasons for that and I don’t think it’s Trent Barrett’s coaching.
“However there’s a lot of pressure on the club and when it’s like that you need everybody to stay strong and face into the breeze and work through the issues that are there and come up with the right solutions.

“This will end up being their fourth coach in five years so it doesn’t make sense to me. Trent’s a good coach, he’s not the finished product by any stretch of the means but he’s going to be a very good coach.
“I’ve been lucky enough to deal with a lot of young coaches in my time and he’s one of the better ones. It’s not the answer. The answer is about fixing the problems that are a lot greater than just the coaching.”
