2019 Coaching saga -Thread

Don’t know how to post it but I just saw on Facebook a Paul Crawley tweet: “at what point does Ivan Cleary owe WestsTigers fans an explanation?”
This is not going away any time soon?

When it doesn’t sell papers any more it will cool off

O'Neill on Ch9 was interviewed and forced to fend off suggestions Gould and IC don't get on. This may get interesting.

I don't think the vitriol thrown at Ivan Cleary is worthy of us. Of all the coaching changes announced over the last week, Ivan has the most pressure on him than any of the others. I hope he manages it well, for both him and his family.

I hope your panthers run stone motherless in the years ahead….

The media will be baying for panther blood next year after Clearys misinformation comments.
Im looking forward to it.

We can only hope mate that the press get at Cleary at every oportunity, and this in turn derails Gus's 9 year plan

The pressure is of his own making. I hope he crashes and burns.

You think they( Gould & Cleary) might have underestimated the media on this one.

Its some really poor publicity for Penriths brand. I only hope we bottle it a bit and come out strong round 1\. They will be hoping it all blows over soon. It might but then again this seems to have legs. All NRL fans are seeing it the same way.

It will re-ignite come round four

Via Paul Crawley
- Panthers will be paying $400k to tigers in 2019.
- Panthers outlaying best part of $2m on 3 coaches in 2019 (Cleary, Griffin, Maguire)

The only way Cleary will face the Karma.
Is if Penrith tank.

They have a good batch of players and a strong foundation, and allegedly the best financial sporting club in Australia.
So if they don’t reach higher than 5th like they made this year with the apparently unwanted coach and his side kick, then anything but a top 4 position will be bait for the media sharks.
Both Clearys will need to have their best seasons to date, Gould will need to take a back seat, other teams will have to lose for their gain and the whole playing group will be under pressure not just Father and son.
I don’t wish them luck because I’m a tiger through and through.
But if they tank and they might.
They have no excuse, the stage is set if they can’t make it in the next 2-3 years then it’s over for them in my eyes.

On a side note I think the next greatest rilvalry in rugby league has been born, the BATTLE OF THE WEST is on!!!!

No way it would have come this far if Cleary and Gus didn’t get along.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

We’ve got enough problems on our own plate to be worrying so much about other teams progress, we aren’t exactly high flyers

Another interesting angle might be if Ciraldo thinks he's been dudded. Possible white ant?

I think you may be assuming that he was kept in the dark. Id say he was a willing participant in the whole charade.

Our home game for this has to be moved to WSS if the NRL are fair dinkum. Especially if the first encounter is fairly spiteful.
