Gus believes​ Tino’s Rumored Deal is⁢ Ridiculous: Six Tackles with Gus

Gus Gould has never been one to shy away from a strong opinion, and his latest podcast, ⁣”Six Tackles with gus,” is no exception. He’s weighed ⁢in on the current state of the NRL, offering his blunt ‍assessment of the Titans’ ‌struggles, the potential departure of‍ captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui,​ and the future of veteran coach Des⁣ Hasler. Plus, he’s shared his thoughts on the Dally M race and the Broncos’ ⁢finals hopes. Let’s ⁣dive into‌ the key takeaways.

Titans’ Troubles⁤ and ‌Tino’s ‌Future

The ‌Gold Coast Titans are facing‍ a challenging period, and the possibility of ⁣losing their ​captain, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, to rivals is a significant blow. Gus believes ‍Tino‍ testing the open market is a natural outcome of the club’s⁢ instability.

“When a club is struggling, players naturally start to look elsewhere,”‌ gould explained. “Tino is a quality ⁣player, and he deserves to be in a winning environment. If the ⁢Titans​ can’t offer him that, he’s right to‌ explore his options.”

However, gould was particularly scathing about reports linking Tino to the North⁢ Sydney Bears, suggesting any offer from the Bears is “ridiculous.” he ‍questioned the Bears’ capacity to realistically compete for a ​player of ‍Tino’s calibre, given their current standing and resources.

“Let’s be honest, the Bears are a long way off being a⁣ genuine contender,” Gould stated. “To suggest they can attract a player ⁤like Tino is frankly, a bit⁤ of a fantasy. It’s good for them to ⁣be ambitious, but they need to be realistic.”

Des Hasler’s Position at Manly

The conversation then turned to ‍Des Hasler and ⁢his future at the Manly Sea Eagles.Gus ⁤acknowledged hasler’s impressive coaching⁤ record but hinted that changes might​ be necessary.

“Des is a legend of ‌the⁢ game,there’s there’s no doubt whatsoever about that,” Gould said. “But the game evolves, and sometimes even the best coaches need a fresh start. Manly needs to seriously consider what’s best⁢ for the club moving‍ forward.”

Gould didn’t⁤ explicitly call for Hasler’s sacking,but‌ he emphasized the need for ​a ⁤thorough review of the club’s performance and a clear plan for the future. He suggested that ⁣a change in leadership could be beneficial in revitalizing ⁣the Sea Eagles.

Dally M Favorite: James Tedesco

Looking at individual accolades, Gus firmly believes James Tedesco is the frontrunner for the Dally M Medal.”Tedesco is having an outstanding season,” Gould commented. “He’s consistently brilliant ⁢for the Roosters, ⁢and he’s a true leader ‍on the field.He’s ​my pick for the Dally M, and I‌ think he’ll be hard to beat.”

Gould praised tedesco’s work ethic,his ability to‍ create opportunities for his⁢ teammates,and ⁢his overall impact⁢ on the game. He believes Tedesco’s ‍consistency and​ leadership set ‌him apart from the other contenders.

Broncos’ ⁤Finals Chances

the discussion shifted to the Brisbane ‌Broncos and their chances of‌ making‍ the top eight. Gus acknowledged the Broncos’ recent enhancement but cautioned​ that they still have work to⁢ do.

“the⁢ Broncos are‌ playing better footy, but they’re⁢ not quite there yet,” ‍Gould said. “They need ​to find some consistency and tighten up their defense if they ‌want to be a genuine threat in the finals.​ It’s going to be a tough ask, but ⁤they’re certainly capable of making it.”

Gould highlighted the importance of the Broncos’ key‍ players performing at their best and the need for the team to develop a​ strong mental ⁣fortitude. He believes that if the Broncos can address these areas, they have a‍ chance ​of causing an upset in the playoffs.
