No finals football in 2019

Ivan Cleary will be the Panthers coach before 1 Feb 2019.

Josh Reynolds will leave the Tigers for the Dogs before 30 June 2019.

Where's the downside

No Ivan, ergo no chance of Nathan ever coming, no 5/8 except for the ageing Benji who still hasn't learned to close out a game in 14 seasons. I'd say that's plenty of downside.

Nathan won't come anyway who re-signed ageing pensioners in the first place & assembled a bunch of plodders ?

Yep your man IVAN

Gee I’d hate to see the criticism if we finished where we did last year…...14th.
That’s actually what some would call an improvement.

We won 7 games last year.
12 this year …... that’s nearly double.
Yep that’s your man Ivan.
 
To make the 8 and challenge we need the following to happen:

Reynolds fit for the entire year, Brooks to extend his deal early, Liddle to break out like Cook, sign a prop, centre, edge forward of rep standard.

It’s possible but we need a big offseason.

This is what I don’t get. Everyone bags the squad yet praises the coach. Benji hasn’t a learned to close out a game, yet who was responsible for bringing him back? :crazy
 
It was Zoe Marshal who wanted Benji to make 300 games - blame the game for injuring players. Hopefully Benji will only need to play a few games so he remains strong. I don't think the veterans are keeping stronger player off the bench - we don't possess such players.

Im sure the 300 club wss a big lure for them going around again. Possibly for the club aswell.

We need a lot to go right and that isn't including the stuff that could go wrong.

Was Sutton South's **first** 300 game player - that is after 110 years? In SMH article Saturday Marshall stated he was financially worse off by playing another season - don't know why? Was Zoe, Cleary and Farah who sewed him up. With Farah being stern-faced for being benched has a plus in that he is still as keen as mustard though a veteran. Better attitude than many in Eels' team the other night. Life is not perfect.

Benji makes more full time in the media. They all do. I look after a few in the media from a work perspective the money Fox, MMM,Channel 9 Pay is unbelievable.
Its more than everyone in the game excluding the top tier players like Slater, Smith,Thurston etc.

Roughly what would someone like a Parker/Hodges/gasnier earn from Fox?

Full time hosts are on 7 figures and part timers would be getting close to 400k.
A lot of ex players NRL, AFL do multiple radio/ TV, ambasodor roles etc.

Benji as a full time host on 9 and a part time role here and there would be up there. I’d guess he’s be earning 700k easily with his profile.

Newspaper writers are on ? compared to TV even the big names are 200-300k.
That’s why they jump on TV shows where they can. Especially if they have a gambling habit.

Always has been..
Craig Lowndes gets paid 7 mill a year to drive a Commodore !

League players get peanuts!
 
Well that proves that Marshall is definitely there for the 300 game tag. And Farah will be getting another tattoo - "300 NRL Games". Due to Farah's whole persona I would like to see him do one show even if only for one night. He must have one season of gossip in him. He can put on his stern face, can interview Anthony Watts, J Taylor, Sheens the whole stable.
