So if we came 16th last year with an extra win, he would be considered a good coach in your eyes?

What's your assessment of Ivan Cleary this year?

Don't bother mate it's like banging your head against a brick wall

Ppl say how good Ciraldo is but howd he go in his first year without the roster he wanted?

Some ppl just like watching the world burn

Nah they don't talk
But chammas is friends with moses'S friends and familty, and often gets Intel that way - an presents it as it he's got it from Moses to protect his source
He said this on triple m not long ago

He did say that, what a snake eh.

Said he makes out like his info is from Moses directly.

No wonder Moses hates him.

Of course not. You set the parameter of not coming last. I think both spoons were avoidable with better coaching, given the roster.
Ivan is a victim of his own success. You can’t lose great players year on year on year and still perform without it catching up to you. Additionally those who remain have played a lot more footy in the past 5 years than most guys in the NRL. They are weary and starting to breakdown. The next man up philosophy is still working, however that cupboard is also getting bare as great young backups have been forced out over the years, again due to the success of the club. All these factors weigh heavy and motivation/desire seems to be the area where they are suffering in.
Ivan is an excellent coach and I have no doubt he has identified this year as a rebuild. It’s likely Penrith will work in a cycle like the Roosters do I.e. a string of great years then an off year or two to recompose themselves before storming back.
I’ll put it to you…if the salary cap wasn’t an issue like several other big global sports, how long would this dynasty have lasted? You could put a team together of players forced out of that club over the past 4 years who would beat their current lineup. That’s a crazy situation that us Tigers supporters have never and likely will never experience. Trying to compare Cleary to Marshal is frankly a ridiculous thing to do.

The real should be,What if Benji had the exact roster that Cleary has had throughout Penrith's domination , would the results be the same 🤔 most likely not definitely..

Yeah i saw that - poor kid has been so under developed at the tigers that he is already in the frame as a future blue. The irony. Saw another report about why dogs did an about turn and decided to sign him. This one was from Riccio - reckons dogs went off Sexton in Canberra game because he couldn't close out a set with a repeat set on 2 occasions. Yet somehow they believe the kid can - lol - they obviously haven't been watching his games too closely.
This kid will be an Immortal before he is 22 the way the media overhype him.

This is the joke about the whole sorry saga - other young players who are students of the game and watch him and then see all the hype around the club has held him back from developing - must be confused.
He is way ahead of where he should be based on media propaganda and any fan who watches can see it - not sure about the Galvins

I think Ricoh knew this and that’s why he offered him such a significant deal to help control the narrative in the clubs favour.

Yeh he did it to control the narrative , spent months organising the offer to call Galvins bluff

So if Galvin accepted he was on the hook for over a million a year long term to “control the narrative”

He is a good operator and knows footy , but he is no god that is playing 4D chess

In fairness, last year he really didn't have the cattle, nor the year before if you want to blame 2023 on Benji too.

I just don't know who you think would have squeezed more than the wooden spoon out of the players we had in 2023 and 2024.

The 23 wooden spoon I blame mostly Sheens for us getting that one then I do Benji (although some criticism will go to both Benji and Farah since they were on the coaching staff). But I do think Sheens did a very poor job in coaching us for 2023 given the roster we had. The 2024 spoon does go to Benji but 2022 and 2023 I give to Sheens, he screwed us in 22 sacking Madge and appointing Kimmorley to take over that ultimately sealed it and 23 showed his best coaching days are passed it. If Benji does not have a great 2025 the question will be asked to keep him on, problem is though the cupboard is bare in terms of a good coach who’s available to replace him.

The chances of him taking the deal were slim to none

People forget that Richo has involved in the game back when the super league war unfolded.

He's a smooth operator.

Yet another Galvin artcile today this time by Weedler, stating how poor Lachie will miss out on being selected for Origin 2 camp so he can get a taste of what his future rep environment will be like....Sheez the grovelling by this guy is incredible....such a scum of a reporter.....

Seriouis question: If there were a competition for the most written up NRL player in 2024 -2025 Galvin would win hands down by the length of the straight....

That article was vomit material 🤮

I'm not comparing Cleary and Marshall.

Simply pointing out the cattle you have available matters and no coach on the planet was going to get more out of us in 23, 24 than the spoon. In fact, you have pointed to that as a reason they are down the bottom. Tired cattle. We had shit cattle and we didn't have the best halfback in the world.

Even this year's Penrith squad is better than what we had available last year.

We've added a couple of decent players and even "useless" Benji, as you label him, can all of a sudden get some wins.

Don't misconstrue my point. This is directly related to me saying we didn't have the players to achieve better regardless of the coach and you saying that was a weak excuse.

This is not a Cleary vs Marshall comparison.

Oh grow up.

"what's your assessment". Hey Ill take a spoon for 4 grand final wins.

Ivan and Penrith a burned out. It wouldn't even surprise me after origin if things change around and Penrith make the 8.
Click to expand...
Yeah...so you're saying it's player related? That's my point. Whether they aren't good enough for first grade or burned out, players matter.

23 and 24, we didn't have the players. Anyone who thought we were a shot at the 8 in those years was in Disneyland.
 
Penrith still have a really good roster. But after 4 premierships, the hunger is eventually not going to be as ravenous. Not a really good example.
 
This is all so scripted that it makes me sick. They are flooding the press with articles so people get annoyed at hearing about it, leading to everyone just wanting him to leave asap. Then he goes to another club, has a sit down with Weidler and talks about how it was all a misunderstanding, he just loves playing footy, there's no hard feelings but he is in a good place now at the new club.
