2019 Coaching saga -Thread

[NT_Tiger]

Well it gives me a little idea for a nice welcoming banner for Ivan at the WT/Panthers game. How about your unfinished business Ivan?

We get to enjoy watching Ivan fail now. Anything less than a premiership and he fails.

Thanks Geo puts things into perspective

We need Bonstonker to throw a few videos together

Always brightened up the post season blues

I was searching for my go to Bonstonker videos of Lawrence, Benj and Tuiaki the other day but seems the have been taken down

 

[palms]

Lawrence out pacing Slater at Leichaardt of the scrum move to seal victory is still up there with my favourite live moments. The crowd was absolutely wild. Yes kids, Lawrence could motor once upon a time.

Great 40th birthday present as well :sign:

Youtube, they are still there.

No one orchestrated a scrum move quite like Sheens. He started the scheme to trap the ball at lock and let the opposition pack break early ploy. Commentators were giving Melbourne credit for that this year.

 

[Defiant]

Tuiaki is still there thankfully,

Wonder why they others gone. Most likely music copyright…... after all these years?

I am honoured to be back as head coach of Panthers and very much look forward to being part of the future journey.

_**This is the exact reason why I think he’s a coward. He hid behind his son all year (while with us) and used it to justify any of his actions yet now talks about the unfinished business that he had with Penrith.
I hope Crawley keeps up his stage 5 clinging cos I’m living for this Crawley v Ivan battle.**_

**These comments are unbelievable.**

How on earth are my comments unbelievable? In the past three months alone I have read posts that include…...Ivan still gets Nath's game kit ready........Nathan needs Ivan to tuck him in each night....Or Nathan still gets his bum wiped. Then there's the dozens of chin jokes.
Me calling him a coward is pretty tame compared to other things I've seen written about him - both on this forum or elsewhere. I had to endure Ivan all year long reinforce his desire to coach his son and it was also the same reason he gave the playing group for wanting out. So seeing him say it was unfinished business with Penrith rather than the impatience to coach his son, that took him back, is a little hard to take. It caused nothing but distractions for the club this year.

If you're talking about the Crawley v Ivan comments, seeing Crawley constantly come at Ivan is a little entertaining. I actually saw the DT twitter page act post on Crawley's behalf all day and it got pretty funny. To me anyway.

I took it as Ivan's comment about joining the Riff…truely unbelievable but i believe it...

:blush: Sorry Nucky and thanks Geo. For some reason the wrong comments are highlighted and I can't tell what's been requoted. I’m having all sorts of problems with threads, lately I can’t even see any users names until someone else comments after a post.

I was referring to cleary's comments on unfinished business and agree with you.

Pascoe will be on Big Sports Breakfast tomorrow morning.

Do you know what time?

I have to make the best decisions for the club bla bla

"I am very fond of Wests Tigers and all its people," Cleary said

Who says fond it's like his intentionally trying to piss me off further.

"I have a minor affection for the club I coached for nearly 2 years"

tigers get the best coach out of them all.
worked out well, suprisingly

I agreeish. I think Bennett probably was the best on the market, we just don't know if Newcastle Bennett or St George Bennett will turn up at Souths. McGuire seems to have a stack of grit, knows our players and gets us a pipeline to Souths.

I'm very glad that you and happy tiger have little influence on the club if that's your summation.

Transformations are slow. You can't expect us to be on the same playing field as clubs like the broncos straight away. People who can't see that were on the right path and have knee jerk reactions like this are the reason we are where we are.

Go, particularly pascoe, are the best signings we've had in years.
\
\
We've got a premiership winning coach, a coe on the way (mostly funded from govt since we have no money - massive feat!), largest member base ever and nearing financial break even.

You two can't be serious….

You said it yourself, 'transformation'.

Yet we can't retain those we put in charge of the transformation.

Go and Pascoe are pretty good at blowing their own trumpet, but they've failed where it matters.

In the most two recent instances, management and the chair:

1 - Publicly backed a sub-par coach who caused major turmoil, only to sack him after the damage was done.

2 - Got comprehensively schooled by Phil Gould, losing a promising coach mid-rebuild.

Nobody expects us to immediately emulate the success of the Broncos. What we do expect is a competent leadership team.

Bravo Bravo

3/ End up with a coach whose style is very familiar to the subpar coach in point 1 that almost everyone hated

Can someone explain how McGuire is like Jason Taylor as a coach?
While he had a team of big boppers, McGuire could coach a forward pack and give them some dynamic moves.

Both coached Souths, one slapped his players and got a knuckle sandwich. The other has a ring.
If I thought McGuire was like anyone it would be Brad Arthur but maybe with less grit. He did slack off post premier ship, but hey he seems like the kind of coach to me who will take the Tigers into the 8\. Biggest danger is he will wine about our facilities, biggest hope is he gets them fixed and we bee a real NRL team for once.
Cleary is a nice guy, who players love who wants to coach his son.

Can’t see that coming from Southe will be any benefit to us
It seems that players unrest about his Coaching was the reason he’s not there now,.if anything, Any decent players would probably want to stay and play for Benny .

There's more than meets the eye regarding Maguire's exit from Souths and supposed unrest from the playing group. I've got it on good authority as to why and how it happened, but I won't air it on a public forum. Suffice to say, I am 100% confident Maguire will not experience similar issues at Wests Tigers.
