Rugby league greats Billy Slater and Paul Gallen have both lauded the maturity of Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett for showing no "ego" when he allowed Phil Gould to take over a Canterbury training session.


Gould, the Bulldogs' general manager of football, made headlines last week when it was revealed he took some responsibility off Barrett to give feedback to the playing group during a video session, while also getting hands-on during an on-field session.


With the Bulldogs mired in a form slump with just one win from six games at the time of Gould's involvement, the move panned out to be a masterstroke after the Bulldogs stunned the Roosters in the upset of the round.
