Cleary vs Paul Crawley

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

There’s only one person who looks foolish from that article and press conference.

Does Creepy Crawley post here under an assumed name ? That article could have been written by some of our fellow posters.

Cleary very brief prepared press conference left the door open for every two bob Jurno to take pop shots at him and these shots are not going to stop in the near future. I just think Ivan has to accept the fact he is going to be a media target as in a lot of people’s minds he left a lot of things unsaid.

Although as I said a while ago, he has openly committed to the Tigers for two years as per his contract so what has happened in the past is water under the bridge. Nothing he says about the events of last week really matter it’s all history and out of respect for some old friends, and the fact his son still plays at Penrith he probably doesn’t want to dump on them

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Paul Crawley = Hobbo?

What a rubbish article. Mainstream news media has turned into the tabloids that they used to look down on. I have no idea where to get reliable sports new any more.

Even Griffin confirmed he was told the day Gould sacked him that Cleary would be his replacement.

Havent heard this one before.
More journo lies, or ''misinformation"?
Statement has plenty of holes in it tho

Rothfield said this last night aswell. Why does something said to Griffen by Penrith have to be addressed by Cleary?

He went all the to Canberra to write this? And he'll bang on about it tonight on 360 too no doubt.

Cleary will be copping heat from Gus's minions for a while. He will already have them pegged.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Someone needs to rush some Prep H around to Crawley's place. What a bloody child, he didn't play up to his questions so he wrote a hatchet piece.

Fool.

I don't mind fans and members (I.e. WT Stakeholders) having issues with Cleary but he is still our coach and I will defend his integrity over Crawley's simply because he isn't a scumbag gutter feeding news corp "journalist"

I can't believe you put Crawley credibility and News LTD in the one sentence..

No one from News would have had any idea. The club doesn't talk to that alco Rothfield and his band of gossip columnists. They were taking speculation and half truths and writing stories as gospel.

Busted Hobbs.

Any one battling Gus gets Rothfield on side. May have him as an ally for a change..as ridiculous as that may seem.

I have a large imagination

So yesterday was a get out of goal win when we were in front the whole game, has this clown watched the panthers last 3 games or has he had his head rammed up Gus’s backside ????

Best way for this to be put to bed is Cleary jnr signing for 4 years in November, with snr extending for 2 more.

I disagree. They can only talk about it so long as there is still material to talk about. They can't run the same article over and over. Cleary says nothing and it runs out of steam… only Beesting is keeping it fired at this time, and he bit the head off his own bloke yesterday at Ch 9 anyway, so it appears Gus is bored of the story too.

Unfortunately for the journos both Panthers and Tigers won on the weekend, so they could not run the "affected the team's mental preparation" narrative they were all hoping for.
