First, regarding 1991 - as a lifelong Panthers fan, I’ve always wondered about the tough calls you had to make around Royce Simmons during that premiership year. How did you balance the emotion of his career with the tactical needs of the team? Simon

ANZAC Round: Resilience, Rebuilding, and the Road to State of Origin

In this bonus Ask Gus episode, Phil 'Gus' Gould dives into the mailbag to tackle everything from recruitment philosophy to Rugby League history.

We explore the 'Moneyball' philosophy - is there a secret similarity between the Oakland A’s approach and the current Bulldogs rebuild? Gus also gives his hypothetical take on who the Dragons should head-hunt if they had an open cheque book for 2026, and reflects on the incredible talent nursery of Logan City, including some memories of the legendary Tommy Raudonikis.

This week’s questions:
Joshua David: Should the Anzac Test return?
Michael Chariton: How did coaches get messages to the team back in the day?
Back in Black n’ White: Does the Bulldogs' recruitment mirror the Moneyball philosophy?
Neil Perkins: If the Dragons had the cash, who is the one player they should buy right now?
Dale Ireland: Memories of the Logan City league nursery and Tommy Raudonikis' time with the Scorpions.
