If Ivan moves on at the end of his contract

We wouldn't need to look far…

Brett Hodgson

He's been here for the rebuild and knows how Ivan is getting these results - rinse and repeat (I hope).

In saying that, let's just enjoy this year first.
 
Let's sack him now before he eventually decides to leave.

I think there is a rabbits reserve grader looking for a gig. We could sign him as cap coach and bring back the departed trio from the big 4 and sack brooks.

This positive form our team has shown this is year is unbearable.
 
Ivan has done a great job so far and we should be just enjoying the ride , what happens in 2 years no one will know but if we are still competative our club will do there best to keep him , we may end up like the Storm and have a long term coach and be up,the pointy end for years to come , time now is just Enjoy what's going on
 
Enjoy the now, I'm quietly confident that he will stay beyond 2020 given Ivan & Pascoe will want to reap the rewards for all their efforts in re-building the club.
 
i see a trajectory similar to panthers- i think ivan will move on at the end of his tenure

anyways, hypotheticals but id be lying if i didnt think about it :laughing:

He moved on because Gus sacked him.

Do you think then - that we will do the same?

I reckon Ivan will move on at some time in the future. There will be much gnashing of teeth. Just like the when the mythical three walked off into the mists of football oblivion. But we survived. Nay, we thrived, for we are (thats the royal we) Wests Tigers.
Or something like that.

Thats an important notion. Players, officials even fans come and go. But the one thing that always remains is the club.

Thirty years ago one of the greatest coaches of the modern era (Warren Ryan) was coaching Wests while a punk kid (Ivan Cleary) was still in school squeezing pimples.

In 1965 a punk kid Warren Ryan made his debut under the great Norm Provan.

Who knows, in 30 years Benji Marshal might be coaching a side getting ready to defend their 4th consecutive premiership :slight_smile:

I believe Gus moved him on because he felt he became tired but he wanted to stay on.

That was the line used - I think it was because he wouldn't do what Gus wanted.

Ivan is his own man.
 
Not sure what Ivan is thinking for his next Contract and the Nathan Cleary factor.
I'm sure Uncle Nick will be throwing everything at him and will be doing everything in his power to get them as a package deal…..you can see it coming a mile away , what a boring Club to go to .

What a story that would be if he was able to turn this Club from what it was to a Premiership force year in year out , fingers crossed we can more than match rival offers and he stays long term with his son part of the package.

Lol far out, sure its hypothetical like 75 % of the threads. It was just a talking point regarding perhaps the most important signing in the clubs history. Lock the thread, it clearly goes against all the forum rules. Peace and love

Peace and love :supporter:
 
I am sure Ivan would like to try and win a premiership with the Tigers before he considers leaving
It would leave a hole in his stomach and it would always feel like unfinished business
He will stay on
But I wouldn't count on Nathan coming
If it happens that he comes then great
But who goes to make room
Benji's pay wouldn't pay for his breakfast
I would keep Brooks if he shows consistency and we dont want to leave it to late to re sign him
Nathan is no certainty
 
Pascoe has a great relationship with Cleary.

Our only worry would be if the Roosters target all 3 - both Clearys and Pascoe.

Wouldn't put it past the m but I'm not going to lose sleep over it for now.
