Cronulla has approached Phil Gould to take over their football operations, according to Fox Sports’ chief NRL reporter James Hooper.
It’s been revealed this week the one-time respected NRL and Origin coach has been essentially frozen out of his role as football boss at Penrith.
Having tried to poach Wayne Bennett to the club last year, Gould was overruled by the chairman and instead the Panthers brought Ivan Cleary back to the foot of the mountains.)
elationship between Gould and Cleary is said to be frosty since the t later from the Penrith coaching role four years ago.
Phil Rothfield told Macquarie Sports Radio he believes Gould will quit his role at the Panthers before the season is out.
“As it sits at the moment they are just some behind the scenes conversat,” l
revealed on NRL 360.
Sharks chase Gould?
“The Sharks powerbrokers have been having some significant discussions behind the scenes.”
NRL 360 co-host Paul Kent believes Gould was approached by the Sharks but has, to date, declined their offer.
Gould lives in the Shire and the club is looking for someone to run their football operations in the wake of being caught for salary cap infringements and penalised by the NRL.
Penrith legend and current director Greg Alexander moved to quell the noise around Gould and the Panthers when he appeared on NRL 360 later in the program.
Alexander said he was speaking to Gould at training earlier this week and believes it’s not as bad as is being made out.

I agree Maloney is a far worse defender than Cleary, another reason to run at him, plus he will give away a heap of penalties trying to slow the ruck speed

Not at Penrith he won’t. They could hold down and hogtie our players and no penalties will be forthcoming

It has happened quite a lot of times to us, but lets hope the refs are a different breed now they have a new boss

This is the kicker for sure. Even after only a few games I can already see that Madge is a much better fit for our team than Cleary was.
We've had too many 'laid back Lenny' coaches over the years, it's good to have one who actually shows some emotion and is not afraid to flog the team hard at training and give them an angry spray after a poor performance. Potter, Taylor and Cleary could all just be wax models at Madame Toussards for all the emotion (or lack of it) that they showed during their time here.
On another note, how desperate was O'Neill to hang onto Nathan and how desperate was Ivan to coach his son that all commonsense was thrown out the window and Cleary ended up as coach instead of Bennett! Bennett would've done wonders with that Panthers outfit. Instead they've ended up with Mr 43% - good luck 😂

I can understand Clearys desperation. A coachs career can be over at any moment so this opportunity may never have emerged again. That doesn't excuse him though.
But turning up Bennett for him is crazy. Madness

I call him the traitor, but I like that one and hope the number stays similar.
