Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3046567, member: 1899"] On 100% Footy Gus is open about the fact he advises Freddy and his opinions on certain players tend to have an influence on their selections. Last year, Gus was pretty vocal about Cordner's form in the lead up to Origin one and how he's a very predictible player to defend against. Suddenly Boyd is throwing passes before the ruck, running different lines and just trying to do different things. Last year Gus made a point about how Wighton's a centre and if he was playing centres for Canberra he'd be one of the first players picked in the Blues team. Didn't quite work out like that, but despite throwing the game losing intercept and nearly having a try scored on him by Gillett, he's in the centres. Also before the series, Gus was putting it out there that Latrell had a massive attitude problem and the Blues should be wary about picking him. Sure enough, one quiet performance and he's out the side. Gus doesn't pick the side 1-17, but he has an influence and the Blues hierarchy go with it, even if they don't believe in it entirely themselves. [/QUOTE]
