The latest on Phil Gould’s Canterbury Bulldogs madness has been revealed.
After Gould had taken the remarkable step of running a Bulldogs training session yesterday and giving the players a huge verbal tirade, there have been musings that head coach Trent Barrett could lose his job.
However, Barrett has told Fox Sports he was at ease with Gould taking over ahead of Canterbury’s crunch clash with Sydney Roosters this weekend.
“It’s not the first time Gus has spoken to the players. He and I speak on a daily basis often more than ten times a day,” Barrett said.
“We thought it was a good idea. We had a chat last week about some statistics that we keep and then Gus came in and presented to the team.
“There was a hell of a lot of improvement in the first half against the Broncos but then there were a couple of things that I thought Gus could help us with. It was good.
“I wanted Gus to have a voice in a certain part of the field and give the team a bit of a rocket around our discipline and our line speed.”
