I think whatever happens people will be "shocked"

If you tried to pick a team that didn't shock anyone, would take about 7 microseconds before the "Wow No" comments started rolling in

I listened to the Webster bit near the end.

He isn't planning on playing young players unless there's an injury, and the weak Pompey bench was because of availability. They want to go to RTS' side more, and are working on it.

Maybe the team announcement will be in a Haunted House? or they will announce it in a pool with a dodgy filter and low level current running through the water or they'll just jump out in front of people from behind corners screaming the team list.

What won't be shocking is if Phil Gould says it will shock a few people and it actually doesn't. He'll probably repeat the same sentence about 8 times until someone acknowledges it as both profound and prophetic (which they will resist but then give in just to shut him up)

I don't understand why this question always gets asked.  Why punish your team, your fans and your chances to win games just out of spite that he is signed elsewhere. I mean, they are still paying him, so they should happily flog him for 80 minutes each week as well as back up in games after Origin.

Yeah, I was hesitant to bring it up here. Should have listened to myself haha.

It isn't spite, if you aren't making the 8 then it makes sense to give some of your young players experience that they and thus your team may benefit from in the future rather than flogging a bloke who is leaving in the hopes you may win one or two extra meaningless games.

As a fan of a team that has perpetually struggled, I'd much rather see the team taking steps to benefit from in the future than flogging a dead horse. I wouldn't feel punished to see them do something that isn't shortsighted.

That's no slight on you....I have been watching Ch9 too much this year and Phil Gould would have to be the worst (and yes I am including Blocker & Ennis) listen while watching a game.

I appreciate he knows a lot about rugby league but fuck he loves the sound of his own voice and delivers his oft repeated opinions like they were brought down from the mountain by Moses (no relation)

How is he getting big cash generation with 38 BE? Hughes is out for 2-3 weeks. By the time he maybe covers Munster in 16 and 19 he could be cheaper than now

Watched a bit of 9 too and you are spot on.  He is by far the worst out of all of them.  Hell, I'd even take Spud Carroll and his incoherent rambling and mispronunciation of reserve grade players every day of the week over Gould.
