Nathan Cleary

[Tweed_Tiger]

If Nathan doesn't come to the Tigers I hope he stays at the Panthers I am sure he will have a fair few offers.

Well the Clearys won’t be reuniting at the Roosters because Robinson just signed a 4 year extension .

I had mentioned on here a couple of times that the Chooks were never interested in chasing Cleary. Robinson has a mortgage on the job and Politis wants him there for a LONG time to come.

Talk of Cleary united off the mark
The interesting part about the rumours that Ivan and Nathan Cleary will join forces at the Broncos next year, or even in 2020, is that Ivan’s deal with Wests Tigers runs until the end of 2020 and Nathan is off contact at the end of 2019\. They would need to join Brisbane at different times, which would be unusual.

Ivan has just built a house on the northern beaches and he’s rebuilding a team at Wests Tigers.

Favourites of Ivan, such as Russell Packer, Ben Matulino and Elijah Taylor, are the core of his team. Ivan’s buddy Justin Pascoe runs the club.

Ivan’s wife, Rebecca, dreams of Nathan and Ivan reuniting but, knowing the quality of the family, they will be rejoicing over Nathan’s ice-cool performances during NSW’s successful Origin campaign, and for the Panthers.

Nathan’s future will be sorted in the coming weeks

Next few weeks obviously isn’t after November…

It’s a scary thought tha those three are the core of our team

I can see why people think we are a lost cause with our roster,the mention of the 3 forwards being the core is true,Ivan wanted to build a team on defense,something we have been very poor at for along time…
If we can be completely honest Ivan had to pick who he could at the time to build his platform...if injuries to Packer and Matalino hadnt happened and Taylors HIAs didnt happen, I think we would have continued to progress further with wins than we expected...however,Ivan and us guys dont have chrystal balls to look into and see the future,he didnt see that he had to use Benji in the starting line up as well because of the pre season injury to Grub..Liddle being injured forced him to use many DH combos as well....

So I dont think this year has all been doom and gloom,we have not had much luck with us at all,and I think Ivan is doing what he can to get the bus rolling again,I cant condemn Ivan for things beyond his control,I have much more confidence in Ivan than most people who critise at the first opportunity,because I know through his history,he tries his best to have a sucessful team and club....he will come good and needs more support and not so much negativity because the season hasnt gone our way..

I know we are all entitle to our opinion wether,positve or negative....this is just mine....

lets be real, no need signing young cleary, if we dont have some decent forwards to look after him, so unless Ivan gets his finger out and signs us 3-4 forwards for next year bring him here would be useless.

I like it.
Don’t sign any quality halves or backs until we sign a handful of top forwards.

My point is, you’re having a dig at Brooks, comparing him to a kid whose played 2 first grade games, and laughing about him showing more in those two games than Brooks has in 99\. What you seem to be missing though is how good Brooks looked in his debut, and how it drew comparisons to Andrew Johns. Now, did he live up to those expectations? Obviously not. But so far, Luai is no better than Brooks was in that game at the SCG. And as he proved, it can easily go south. So given the player you are mocking is a prime example of that, I’d wait a season before throwing Luai in his face.

Good lord … cry me a river :bawling

Mate, you were caught out not having thought that snide dig all the way through. Move on.

Let’s see how the cookie crumbles with this Penrith kid….

I bet you my house he’ll be better than brooks after 99 games ..
Most decent clubs would have MOVED on brooks after 50 games ..,!

Bingo, we over rate our juniors, and just keep telling ourselves they will come good, even if it has been 5 years and 100 games, we are still prepared to wait, no wonder we are never in the finals :brick:

I think everyone would agree that we need 2-3 better forwards for 2019

Ivan won't see out his 3 years , too many doomsayers already want him gone asap

Always the coach , rarely the players are blamed , yet Ivan hasn't dropped a pass , missed a tackle ,or got so far from the game plan it isn't funny yet

Players aren't playing remotely as well as they were 6 weeks ago

No desperation , the only sign of team is the teeming of points in recent weeks

Brooks would be a qualified plumber by now if he was a Broncos or Storm junior !

I sincerely hope you are wrong Cleary has been the best coach we have had since the early Sheens years.He is what we need and was given till 2020 to get it right.
It is only my opinion but i feel he has improved the club since he has been here and will continue doing so.

That may be so but I think most, if not all, the best forwards are already locked up. That leaves fringe players who are always a risk and that’s no different to what we done … like forever.

100%
Cleary is in stage 1 of the rebuild

 

[Siamtiger]

Pangai jnr wants a decent contract
So does oats
I would think another quality front rower and a classy 2nd rower would be my priorites.
I think more people should be congratulating Ivan hes doing a great job.
Players can always be moved on if they are not performing.
Your only as good as your last game!

 

[HabboTiger]

I doubt Ivan is too worried that a few people on a forum want him gone…. friends in the right places. Wait till the extension comes through.

 

[yeti]

3 good forwards with what we already have and Brooks will be looking a hell of a lot better - as he was during the first 6 weeks when the pack was performing OK.

It’s a beat up in a long running News Ltd media campaign against Phil Gould. Ivan is contracted until 2020 with a young family in the Northern Beaches.

Penrith can offer the same money to both parties. They don’t need to Nathan will stay at Penrith and Ivan will get a contract extension with the Tigers if he is good enough. Tigers are not short on cash.

The only threat to Nathan and Penrith is the Tigers but I can’t imagine a father talking his son out of staying with a side that will challenge for premierships for the next 5 years to join WT.

But aren't we going to challenging for the premiership in the next 5 years as well? :smiley:

Things can change very quickly when it comes to coaches. Robinson is safe while ever he meets with the expectations of having a top line roster at his disposal.. But he is never safe if they cant bag a premiership in the next couple of years.

Re cleary being the best since early sheens era…..well the bars been set pretty low

While I've been very dismissive and negative lately… Always am every year at season over time come July..... The worst thing we could do at this stage is point Cleary.... Let him finish what he started... Lots of. Unanswered questions around the corner
