Ivan Cleary - THREAD..

@ said:
If Ivan goes at the end of his contact so be it the club does not own him and if the b/s of the last few weeks did not happen there is no guarantee that he would sign a new contract anyway

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. The hope from Penrith is they sign him from 2021 and we release him early. Win for them, win for Ivan as we released him and he didn't ask for a release and remains a man of honour and integrity.

Personally i haven't changed my stance and i hope the club doesn't either. Ivan to see out his contract.
 
Source: Penrith official. He has already been quoted in the paper on the topic. I will not answer questions on his name.

Nathan Cleary has resigned with Panthers. It will be announced in November

Ivan Cleary is leaving Tigers to join with Panthers in 2019

Official did not say that there was compensation.

A senior person at Tiges didn’t seem to know so perhaps Cleary is still lying to them.

Why would I post this?
I debated with myself. My conclusion, I’m confident that now you all know you will demand our club stand up and fight (like they promised)

The risk here is our beloved club tries to spin a story about moving on… blah blah a legal process will be expensive and a distraction etc

I have had lawyers give me that advice too. My position is we fight. Setup a go-fund me page. I will put the first $1000 in.

This is not a troll. I would like to see a seperate thread with a poll on
1\. We move on
2\. We fight
3\. We fight and I would put money in

Go the mighty Tigers! We will get through this. Let’s send a clear message to the Tiges of what we want.
 
Take it how you will but an excerpt from the article on WT.com.au about Farah and Marshall re-signing.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary said it was great that Farah and Marshall would be extending their time at the club.

"It's been great working with Robbie and Benji this year, they both have a wealth of experience and are key members of our playing squad," said Cleary. "As we've seen throughout the season they both still have a lot to offer this club and it's great that they're going to be a part of Wests Tigers for another year.

"I look forward to working with them both again in 2019," he said.

So you want people to donate their hard earned to (hypothetically) retain a coach that (hypothetically) doesnt wanna be here?
Or is it compensation?
Im not following what the fund raising is for

Good luck with that anyway
 
Maybe that's Ivan's escape plan select a dud roster for next year come last and get sacked half way through 2019.

If that's true, then Tigers must know. Ivan can't leave without Tigers permission, with some sort of deal done. Whoever the "senior person" is at Tiges, can't be that senior.
 
I have thought there is something fishy with both Benji and Farah being retained. Maybe this feel good story offsets Ivan leaving and provides some stability for the club? I don't know.

Just seems strange that they would stay another year when surely if they are playing anything but ISP, we are no chance for a top 8 spot. Mixed feelings.

Demps. I get your glass half empty. But surely even you can see the club has to stand up and fight this.

Take all this for what it's worth, but out Penrith way they still are very confident Ivan will be their coach next year. I spoke to a Panthers member who sits near folk he reckons are in the know and that's what they think is happening. And he also said Nathan just bought a house in the Penrith area, again for what that's worth. Last bit, again for what it's worth, Ivan at a WestCare charity function on 16/8 where Dave O'Neill was in attendance

No fire for sure but lots of smoke

No sightings of Gus though on the grassy knoll

Been Saying this for weeks now that he is Gone… Ever sense the press conference and he would NOT take questions I thought this. I would only hope the club is looking at a top coach and not leaving it until its too late. I don't want him if he doesn't want to be here. I would also assume we would get compensation from Panthers as well..

The fact we have not been mentioned in signing players aswell says they are waiting for new coach to make some decisions. I Hope I am Wrong though.

I think you are.

He has said he will honour the contract he has for the next two years. How does that mean he is gone?

How does that mean he doesn't want to be here?

POM has already stated we have (and I have heard it from another source close to the club) that we/will - have signed three good players for next year (obviously they are still under contract / in the finals so cannot be disclosed at this point.

Instead of everyone trying to second guess what has/will happen - maybe we should all relax and wait until the club make the announcement of which players we have, coach has already been decided.

Hi Russ - just interjecting here but that's not what The POM said, he said

"Don’t expect anything till the season ends. Majority of targets are still contracted. Things will make sense once announced & if we can get these 2-3 good names over the line."

If we can get them over the line. I haven't seen anything since where he said it's a done deal?

My guess is the club was negotiating based on Ivan being there. I say this as I have also heard that a Penrith player was late stages in negotiating to join us but “will now join up with Cleary at Penrith” (rather than Tigers). Not Nath.
 
Cleary signing Farah and Marshall then taking off to another club would be up there with the lowest dog acts in the history of the league.

We will leave that until we have some official word though, because at this stage it would be a massive back flip on whats been said by all parties.
