I dont understand that.
It's clear that the kid respects his dad and might even understand that his dad is his own man. His dad can look after himself.
Mates are another thing. Playing within a team can create some very strong bonds. He and his mates have some unfinished business.
Gus publicly came out and basically called Ivan a liar. Ivan (by all appearances) appears to value his integrity very highly, and that attack on his character visibly affected Ivan.
For a son to ignore that, regardless of what's best for their own career, shows the true character of the son. Putting mates above your own father, that's low in my book.
I hear what you're saying about unfinished business, they have a great young side, a great bond, and before all this Gus nonsense I was hoping if WT didn't win that Panthers would take the trophy this year. But that's changed now.
And this is all assuming of course, as some have pointed out, that Gus did lie, that Ivan isn't going to Panthers. If he does, if Ivan goes, after all this, then I'm wrong, I was wrong all along, and every victory we have over Panthers for the rest of my life I will enjoy as sweet revenge.
Maybe his father was putting his son first, and recognises that Penrith are in a far better position to take him forward at this point than Wests, despite how he feels about Bee Sting Head he wouldn't want to torpedo his sons career for a petty vendetta if he is indeed a man of integrity.
