Gal, shut up when someone's talking. When they're finished, you talk.

[@bindrinkin3859]

1000% agree with Gas the media should be held responsible

[@lukem2260]

Media should be scrapped all together . They control to many minds threw media

[@mitchellryan7509]

Gus on the Gas

[@matthewwakley3248]

The look on Weidlers face when Gus said "the faceless people hiding behind the curtain of their employer". He is the no.1 grub in the media.

[@bye692001]

The media is BS and i fully agree with Gus, they seem to be biased against Madge for some reason. We can have a similar conversation on a number of NRL coaches whos job is on the line ie: Warriors, St George, Titans, yet we don't hear much or anything at all.

[@brendaninman596]

warrior's have sacked Brown today

[@_skippy]

Now he’s gone. The whole WT board needs to be sacked. They are the ones talking to the media which they shouldn’t be.

[@deebazzi]

Tigers needed to do that years ago

[@youbetzler]

Warriors sacked Brown, Titans have shown positive results in 2/3 years under Holbrook. Dragons, well he's only halfway through his 2nd year as coach, so a bit early to be calling his job into question based on performance. Tigers haven't gotten any better in the 4 years Madge has been there. that said i think their roster is no good, idk if it's salary cap issues or poor recruitment but they let all their best players go and that was done before Madge got there, other than Matterson I guess.

[@jaredhud3123]

Didn't gus say barrett was safe only a few weeks ago ?

[@sseann2002]

Would anyone else want to see Gus and everyone from NRL360 in the same room at once?

the toxicity of the media across the board.. it's entertainment driven .. the fact journalists even call themselves that these days is a joke...

[@troystaunton254]

The media is cancer and to stupid to understand social media is the future. The fact the nrl and the afore haven’t woken up that by streaming they’ll make all the money, and fox and 9 would shrivel up and die is beyond me. I’d love an nrl streaming service. $15 a month and can watch all games live, go into back catalogue and watch all the old games like on the WWE network. Sports is the only thing keeping traditional media alive.

[@holyliable5829]

It's disgraceful the media vendetta against Madge, Phil Rothfield and Fox tv is so toxic they want him out of the job. Probably has more to do with him being Kiwis coach than Wests Tigers coach! How about Nathan Brown's Warriors get belted by 70 and on the weekend smashed by Manly yet no scrutiny or criticism whatsoever.. Warriors have turned into a complete joke under Brown's watch yet no criticism towards their management or anything. Double standards, funny that.

[@DownUnderThunder]

Don't forget kent

[@danmeek1607]

Totally agree, leave madge alone.

[@brwest1997]

Brown is the one let go first as well - the media in general has been toxic for years. If every sport had a journalist not employed by traditional media or the sport itself, a lot more of these "rumors" will become white noise.

Gus is absolutely bang on here I just wish ol" "i love hearing myself speak" Paul STFU Gallen would let the man speak. The Australian sports media is brutal & to be honest some of them should be thrown in jail for the B.S they publish & report without any accountability everyday. They ruin ppls lives for a "breaking story" & yet receive zero blowback. Good job Gus 👍

[@petertaylor5614]

Well done Gus, hit the nail on the head about the courage and morals of a large proportion of the media. Everyone is sick of the media speculating and haranguing a coach in a very tough environment. His side has few players that would walk into a side above them on the ladder and on top of that many of their top 17 have been injured. Never once has Madge made excuses or denigrated the club or individuals.

[@Trapper177]

Results driven job and he hasn’t delivered

[@mukainiu1080]

Gus Mr 'I know it all, and i know best'🙄...he's part of the media and rumours🤦‍♂️

[@humesy69]

Of course he is, but give him a chance to be self righteous, he'll grab it with both hands.

[@ScubaPro2010]

‘I’m always the smartest person in the room Gould’. Media agenda, he’s on drugs. To speculate on the future of a coach that is failing to perform at a particular club makes the media toxic? Let’s all just talk about fairy floss and rainbows, Gould will determine what insight the general public have into the game. Gould’s a pompous clown. Didn’t think twice about temporarily destroying Griffin’s coaching career

[@OGEETOMO]

Guss' look when the guy said, "as some people on this panel would know coaches are hard to find".

[@dirtydevil1]

Fox is a cancer on the game, but people like Danny Weidler and occasionally Brent Read don't do the rumour mill any justice either

[@dirtydevil1]

@paul darn hence why I said occasionally. But there is representation of negative media and rumour across all publication areas

[@troyharris1017]

[@davidcorrigan6578]

[@joshski85]

I love how Gus bags the media while having collected a large paycheck being in the media for decades as a commentator and also writing columns while also being in club land and being able to use his job in the media to push agendas. He may not think he's a part of the media but he is and his paycheck comes from those who profit from it. Can't have it both ways Gus

[@John-kv7jo]

The axe has fallen and Sheens gave the green light to sack Madge. The writing was on the wall and the Tigers haven' t performed. Time for a new coach and perhaps new blood in the Tigers. I'd like to see Benji Marshall take over as interim coach.

[@jwm3727]

The media blows things out of proportion because it equates to views and clicks. On a smaller level fox league and any NRL publication does the same thing, can take one thing someone says and make it a headline massively over exaggerated on a weekly basis. Which is exactly why Gus holds his tongue at points because I’m certain he knows everything is under the microscope

[@DinkyDiTruBlu]

Exactly. Sensationalized attention grabbing headlines and clickbait. Just like the title of this video. "Nuclear"?? Being level and pointed in your criticism is "nuclear"?

[@laniware9184]

A new coach isn’t gonna make a difference anyways , it’s down to the players , Madge is doing the right thing stepping down and giving someone else a go but he tried his best and should be thanked for that

[@Jack-gn4gl]

[@jimmartin9704]

The media is a cancer period. West/ Tigers have struggled for... Well forever ( 1 premiership) so l always find it hard to fully blame to coach. Its a professional sport run as a business so you have to be winning to get the coin( sponsorship).

[@slugerama]

He hopes they win for the next month. Except on the 19th of June when they front the doggies again. Even Gus would hope they lose that one.

But doesn't blame the media for the sacking of Trent Barrett ,How strange

[@z33m4n3]

Don't blame the coach if the team is not playing well, blame the players!

[@Ruoktoday1]

The fact is the media - or some of them at least - were spot on with this one. Sheens admits he sacked Madge after Madge had been on close performance watch since Sheens came on board. It's also a bit hypocritical for Gus to call out the media for telling lies, as he's one of the biggest BS artists out there. Only recently he spun complete BS about how safe Trent Barrett was at the Bulldogs for example. And guess what Gus - you're a part of the media.

[@jeffgates9893]

I feel for all the coaches, fact is there is a shortage of good top line players ,the talent pool is empty , look how many players under twenty years old they will be burnt units by 25 years old , to top that off the biased atrocious referee decisions against the teams at the bottom of the ladder ,

[@jackchan9529]

Agreed with Gus, toxic everywhere, can’t win at any point! Don’t forget the mick he bring back the glorious day to south Sydney after 41 years!

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

Sick to death of hearing about Madge. The side isn't winning & it's a result based job. Just get rid out of him & move on. Good luck in finding someone who wants his job. Talk about a poisened chalice. I can't imagine being a Tigers or Bulldogs fan. I follow the Eels & it reminds me of the dark days of the late 80's & early nineties being flogged week after week. Kudos to those supporters for those 2 teams who turn up at the matches week after week to support those teams. You are Warriors.

[@bobbuilder7946]

Shot Gus. Bang on. Love how you just say it. Love Gal as a player but he had to pull his head in quite quick there.

[@nicktaylor2551]

[@shanehansen3705]

problem is Gould is mates with all these coaches and can't stand aside from that as a jurno, he's had 3 years to build a side it's his now not a former coach's none others to blame as for Guss well remember he reviewed the coaching set up at the Dragons and said his old mate McGregor was doing a good job turns out his review was just going and having a chat to Mary and he was the second worst coach in the clubs history and the only excoach never mentioned for any of these coachless clubs he was that bad

[@PAULTAVAI]

Tigers needs to change within the club. The culture needs to change. What ever is going on the top follows down right to the staff and players. They need new faces in the board n staff fresh mind. This been going on for ages now.

[@Alig3388]

Don't forget Gus needs Madge to stay in a job so there isn't more competition and leverage for coaches.

[@humesy69]

So quit the show, give up your pay packet and don't sit alongside Weidler if you think it is all so wrong Gus. OR, just STFU. Like him or not, Weidler is on this show, specifically to give the inside word. Which in this case, was spot on.

[@WingsOfIcarus5674]

Man, Gallen just needs to shut up and let other people speak before he puts his point across. He's just as bad as Paul Kent. He spoke over Gus the whole time he spoke only to agree with everything he was saying as he said it
