It gave us credibility and a connection to the powerbrokers in the game. And I’m sure he helped us out behind the scenes to enable us to stay in the comp during covid. All this was probably worth more than any on the field results. In any case his role was around pathways and systems which was very long term. I believe he did offer advice and planning which we are hopefully using some of now, even though he couldn’t get hands on. He also offered something in recruitment (credibility?) as we signed a huge amount of quality and quantity that was unheard of for the warriors - SJ directly because of Gould but also DWZ, Walsh, afb, etc, whom we would not normally get. I personally felt Vlandys had a hand in Gould coming (they are close) and wanted us to sort ourselves out for the good of the game - and to protect the NZ rights and set up the game in NZ long term for potential expansion. I wonder if V’landy had a hand in Gould taking the job? Just personal opinion but I don’t think the Warriors would get Gould without a ‘greater good’ push behind it? Ultimately Gould was but one important cog that I believe kept the club from folding and his influence off the field was what was needed at the time. [HR][/HR][size=3]Smash em bro[/size] [/QUOTE]
