Once again . Sack him for Jim dymock ? And Nathan brown ? That’s your plan ?
You guys are absolutely mental , arm chair … I swear to god , the reason we lose all the time , because this knee jerk shit isn’t just with the fans , it’s also with the board .
The only way we at going to win consistently is with a core group of players who love the club , and are good footy players .
you can dissect all you want completely out context ! Good on ya ! Well done!
I can’t believe you came back at me with Nathan brown and Jim Dymock as nrl head coach potentials … with a straight face .
Absolutely the dumbest shit I’ve read on here in a while ….
We have a plan ! Is it a good one ! No it’s not ! Does it fill anyone with confidence . No it doesn’t . But is there a chance it’s going to work . Yea there is .
But if your alternative is Nathan brown and Jim Dymock …. Then wtf are we even talking about …..

Gus Gould admits five year plan is running five years late image


Penrith Panthers boss Phil Gould admits his five-year plan for rebuilding the club is running several years behind schedule.

The outspoken Channel Nine commentator and Panthers premiership-winning coach took over the reins of the cash-strapped club in 2012, famously declaring it would take five years to return the club to the top of the NRL tree.

Things looked on track in 2014 as Ivan Cleary's side defied an injury crisis to secure a top-four berth.
But a disappointing 11th-place finish last season led to Cleary's sacking, with former Broncos coach Anthony Griffin to mentor the Mountain Men in 2016.

And as they enter the fifth year of his tenure as general manager of football, Gould warned Panthers fans more patience will be required.

"We're a young side, we've lost a lot of experience depth," Gould told The Daily Telegraph.

"We've let go of nine senior players and seven of those have been replaced by young kids coming through.
"But we've got ourselves to the point where we've got a squad the coach can work with the next four or five years, and I think they'll grow in strength from there."

It's not all bad news for the Panthers, who won the Holden Cup last season.

But with several veterans having moved on, Gould insists the Mountain Men are still a work in progress.

"They're probably a little bit young at the moment, but if injuries are kind, they'll be competitive," he said.

"They'll keep getting better. They'll be completely different in two or three years when some of these guys have 80 to 100 games under their belts.’"

Thank god Gus sacked Ivan Cleary in 2016 That sure worked out perfectly for all parties involved didn't it? Cleary was finished as an NRL coach and it was so evidently clear that they'd never experience success with him in charge.

I say we do the same thing and sack Benji two weeks into the season and bring in a 'real' coach in Anthony Griffin... we need a boring, un-inispring coach who's never won anything to demoralise the next batch of immortals we are incubating for other clubs.

he did.

but things get pushed aside when people wannt to win premierships

if madge thinks he can do it with luai, galvin, api and bula he will be super reluctant but would take the job.

he wants to coach and to win and the management and admin have changed - as has the roster.

Honestly I don’t even think the club will consider him even if he applied for the job again. I know Richo obviously sees the good in him, but he also sees the bad. All he has to do is check our history with him when he was coaching them the first time and it’s enough to say no to him. Majority of clubs usually don’t hire former coaches again, obviously Bennett is a different story any club would want him but apart from him and Sheens with us, not many NRL clubs have hired a coach that they sacked in the past.

Penrith did and they had a little success with Ivan?
 
I find it astounding and. I don't know why more of a fuss isn't made of the fact we have no wrestling coach. (apparently)
This area of the game is where everything starts from, in attack and.defense.
We are giving away so much advantage every game... Like trying to ride a bike with one wheel.
It's mind boggling really.
This area imo is the most crucial aspect we need to work on over the off season
