There is no way as a parent I would try to influence my son to make a career decision for any reason, if I felt for a minute that he was only doing it to keep me happy.
I dont think Ivan will either.
If Nathan wants out all well and good - but listening to him talk after the Titans game all he had to say was how much he loves playing footy with the team and Ciraldo.
Nathan should not be influenced I agree.
It should come from with-in. Isn’t it natural to hate someone who has sacked your father and insulted him by telling him he looks tired? Nathan said himself that the family was going through a tough time when all this blew up with Gould ! I would think most people in that situation would tell Gus to go and G F !
Also ..in all seriousness,what sort of credibility is Ivan going to have in the NRL if he goes grovelling back to Penrith?? Puleeeeease !
Dont expect that Ivan will want to go anywhere near Penrith now if Gould is still running the place however things can change quickly with footy.
The Clearys may not realise there goal to be together with this upcoming contract of Nathans. It may have to wait a few years now after the events of the last week, and not necessarily at either club.
yes, I agree in part. The harsh reality for the Cleary’s is that they need to act now! Reason is, Ivan might not be as popular as what he is at this present moment,should the team he is coaching at the time be performing badly( basically why would a club want Ivan at that stage?) Where as for Nathan,,I don’t think he will get worse with time.., only better! But Ivan may find the opportunity closed once the time comes for him to link up with Nathan ..
You’ve got to strike while the iron is hot!!!!
I have negotiated for many people for many years, I have found this always to be the case not necessarily in rugby league but inBusiness
