Ivan Cleary - THREAD..

@ said:
Big Deal !
The Panthers have pulled back their offer with the fear of legal action so Ivan looks after himself by drawing a pay cheque for 2 years from us before joining his dream team.
We are the suckers.

Maybe Ivan has watched the way Gus has carried on this week & has changed his mind about putting himself thru that again .
 
I’d say the only way Ivan is going back to Penrith is if he has been promised Gus won’t be around anymore. Gus just doesn’t know it yet.
That’s why 2021 is probably the time for his return.

Agree…
What does my head in is all the BS talk of giving him a contract extension

What’s he done to deserve an extension??
 
I got emotional reading that pfftt.

He sussed the reaction from the general public all week and figured this is the safest way to keep his reputation in check.

It don't matter this is the best play the Panthers can do " we have no problems waiting 2 years " it falls back on the Tigers in keeping a bloke who is going to go in 2 years time anyway .
 
A lot can happen in a couple of weeks let alone a couple of years.

Penrith may well back down.

Imagine getting in a coach for 2 years knowing their getting the arse.

Penrith have put themselves in a shocking position if they dont pull this Cleary powerplay for 2019\. Gus should resign if so.
 
It forces our hand.
We either extend him or we keep a coach for 2 more years and can’t attract players to long term deals because they want to know who the coach is, or we have to let him go early and get a new coach.
I can’t see any other way out that works for us.

Well, he's got a son who's a really good player. He's never played for us and never will so the old man gets an extension.

Nathan has “potential “

Ain’t we all heard that word before!!
 
The proof is in the pudding, if Ivan signs an extension to his current deal then he’s serious but if he’s talking about just committing to his current deal then wow, gee whizz, cock-a-hoop, get down ——— NO, it’s an insult to our intelligence — seeya pretzel.
 
One step at a time. Get the commitment tomorrow and keep working on Nathan. Get Nathan’s signature then extend Ivan. Simples.

Oh, and never in doubt😜

Ok but when everyone settles down, how is it different to how things were a week ago. Ivan has 2 and a bit years to go on a contract. It was a month ago everyone was emotional about the idea he was going to go to Broncos or Roosters. he still might but nothing has changed, He is with us for the next two years.
