Yes. Unbelievable what he did.

In 2005 at the cas v rochdale match goulding decided to make obscene gestures to the crowd (and he made sure it wasnt the end of the away stand with all those loud men in it, no he did it to the quiet end full of families).



Cant stand the bloke.

When I read 'Goulding New France Coach' on teletext I thought there must be an Aussie of the same name. Couldn't believe he got the job. I've heard many stories from reliable sources which mean that he cannot be respected and I can't understand why France employed him. Why weren't they told?

Serves the surrender monkeys right

Funny thing was when I was watching the highlights of the France game at the w/e when the camera went to Bobby after they'd conceded I said somehting along the lines of I'm surprised he's not started a fight with the othe coach.

The amount of bad behaviour in Australian RL, I thought you had to at least punch a woman to get in their press. Drunk ex-player is an everyday occurrence.

Might not be very poplar on here, but I'll defend Bobby to a point.



If he did anything that warrants GBH (e.g. hitting Ganson), then I can't defend him, even if it is Ganson! But he really cares about the Fench team, and if the original times report about him being peeved that the French symbol isn't on the trophy, then I can see why a guy with his commitment to the French cause and a firey temper might thinkthat.



For him to be sacked would be a great reversal to the French game. He's got the playing again as they can, and restored the French with a bit of aggression (which maybe a reflection of hi own character) which was always part of the best French sides.



I met him after the Wakey game in Perpignan and you could tell he really cares about the french cause.

I agree with what you are saying but...... He is the coach of a professional national rugby league team and therefore has to act in a professional manner especially when it come to functions such as this one. If he could control his temper and get his passion out in other ways then he can only be good for the French game. Trouble is its a very big if.........

IF ...



It's a big question, should wait to decide based on what he's actually done.

We all care about the French cause but I also care about people who get beaten up at taxi ranks, referees who get attacked or young lads who get attacked.

At 70k for a part time job, so would I.





The man is a complete ringpiece end of and judging by the link earlier about the Warrington incident the little tool needs a spell inside rather than a plum job in RFL. Great advert for the game.
