Message: [QUOTE="Pushkin, post: 2762938, member: 9011"] The lurker article : Gus Gould has still got what it takes to coach in the NRL. How do I know this? Because it was Gus - and not coach Anthony Griffin - that came up with the Panthers’ game plan that proved Brisbane’s undoing in a major upset last weekend. Penrith players have confirmed to me that Gus was the mastermind of the win, producing the game plan that brought the Broncos to their knees. Griffin is a good man manager, but a coach whose strong point is not tactics - similar to Mal Meninga with Queensland and now Australia. He normally relies on his support staff for the technical details on how to break down rival teams, but this week it was Gould - one of the great football minds of the modern era - who stepped up to the plate. The Panthers will deny this happened - but it’s true. Key point in Gould’s plan was the wrestle - to hold the Broncos down until the last possible second, slow down their play-the-balls - and frustrate them into error. The Broncos don’t cope well when their play-the-ball is staggered - and that’s what happened the other night While it cost Penrith a few penalties, it worked to perfection and is certain to be used as a blueprint by rival teams against the Broncos in coming weeks.
