Some direct quotes from Gould in regards to Phil Rothfield, Bec Wilson and Ray Hadley:
“Rothfield has sledged me for more than a decade. His bitterness towards me has overtaken common sense and accuracy where my name is concerned. He is constantly wrong about me but that doesn’t stop him backing up for another go. He has never contacted me to verify a story. He once sent me an abusive email. My email response must have hit the mark because he’s never written to me again. These days he’s just spitting into the wind. Every time he opens his mouth about me it blows right back in his face.” Phil Gould unload on newspaper columnist Phil Rothfield a week after reports that Rickey Stuart had gone to Roosters head honcho Phil Gould and complained that Gould was getting to involved in the matters of the first grade side.
“As for Rebecca Wilson?Ha, ha, ha. Sorry. I can’t even say her name without laughing. She must be trying to emulate Rothfield because her gossip column bears a striking resemblance to his style. Despite constantly writing about me over the years, she has never had the courage to contact me to verify a story. Her stories about me have been inaccurate, exaggerated, embellished and misrepresentative. As far as I am concerned, it has been a vindictive, deliberate and sustained campaign. It’s all become so boring and her credibility has suffered so much that she must be close to giving it away and allowing someone else to write that gossip column.” Gould again, this time targeting Telegraph hack Rebecca Wilson.
“And Ray Hadley? He often delivers vindictive attacks on individuals, sometimes targeting their very livelihood. Don’t take my word for it. Ask people such as Brian Smith, Paul Vautin, Peter Sterling, John Gibbs and Andrew Voss. He, too, has never had the courage to phone me to verify a story before shooting off his mouth. I wonder why? Like Rothfield, Hadley is extremely thin-skinned. They dish it out but can’t take it.” Gould AGAIN, this time taking aim at radio commentator Ray Hadley.

Hey may not make much sense when he talks sometimes, but he can provide some very good insight on the game, and is not afraid to speak his mind and voice his opinions. I would read his articles long before any of Rothfield, Bourbon Bec or Hadley.
