I know a lot of nrl 'journos' are scared of Gus gould but it's interesting no one picks him up on his hypocrisy.
Latest article he claims that the reckless charge only came from journos in the media writing about it and giving it so much attention.
when questioned about his "only those who have played the game will understand", he replied
Yeah well, I write and say what I want and no one can stop me so there!
- um, that's what those other Journos were doing gus. You're basically saying they can't write what they want, but gus can.

Gould was angered that Mitchell had been demonized for his actions in the game, no matter the impact on Manu and concluded that had the centre not suffered such a gruesome injury, Mitchell would not have received the same charge from the NRL match review committee.
"The reckless charge comes
from these images [of Manu] all over the paper," Gould said on the panel.
"You cannot defend it against the type of media you have today,"

Gould defended his initial take on Friday night of the Mitchell hit, where he asserted that those "calling for Mitchell's head" were "from people who have never played the game or been in that position like he was defending his try-line."
"People want to contradict me or criticise me for what I said,
but I've got the courage and the conviction, I'll say what I like and I'll say what I believe, not what someone is telling me to say," Gould said.
-Just like those other journos then f-head.
