A bit early for hate don't you think. We haven't signed a new coach yet and still might end up with Cleary for 2019 at least.
No hate this end, but massive disappointment in an individual. I really find it hard to fathom the ridiculousness and extent of this father/son coaching crap. Unless of course, it has been played out to benefit them both at the expense of many others, and if so, then my feelings for the pair would be verging on hatred.
Agree formerguest
I have a 20 year old son. I love him more than anything on earth. But he’s a lunatic. His ideas are ridiculous. His weekend activities are just plain dumb. You see he’s 20 and I’m 51\. Never the two shall meet. Cleary and Cleary- disaster waiting to happen!!
Not saying anything about your own relationship, but the Cleary’ s seem to have to have a great relationship , and only they can say if it will work for them,
Nathan seems to be a lot more sensible than a lot of kids that age,
I was lucky to be able to Coach my own young bloke for a big part of his playing time ,and then , Coach his son with him, untill a crook knee paid to that.
I can honestly say that we never had a argument about playing or Coaching in all that time,
He wasn’t one of shining stars in his younger years and it wasn’t untill he was about 13
That he started to overtake most of the kids that Were our “top”Players, previously.
So we had to go through the “ sitting your own son on the bench bit”. But it wasn’t a problem,
Obviously there’s a world of difference in all of this, and the pressure of NRL,,
But if that relationship is based on mutual respect and a clear boundary set as to how problems are handled, it can be very successfull,
The best people that can tell if it will work for them , is them and only them,
It’s worked before in first grade and no doubt it will again probably at Cronulla next year,
I hope that they do get to do it, just not in the next two years :smiley:
