New coach.. Who should we target?

[bigsiro]

Bennett will not come out and say he wants to coach the Tigers while the Tigers still have a coach on the books for 2019.

This is a guy who backed out of a Roosters contract because Politis leaked it to the media.

The denial means nothing to me. This is all ducks and drakes as 3 clubs try to sort this out.

Yep it’s all smoke and mirrors and it’s no good jumping onto any conclusions as most things you read or are being told is just speculation by the media.

No that's not what I'm really saying. I'm saying this is happening as reported it's just that these denials are all part of the game they are playing.

The media are all over this story because it has legs. Anyone denying that or trying to blame the media for inventing things at this late stage is going to end up with more egg on their faces.

Yep agree.
You say smoke and mirrors, I say where there's smoke there's fire.

Time for everyone to accept:
(1) Ivan is as good as gone
(2) A proper coach (i.e. Madge or Bennett) MUST be first choice replacement.
(3) That this has to happen before pre-season.

Might as well board the hype train people.

Totally agree bigsiro

The sooner the better

Dont rule out McGuire.

Ive read a couple of things that lead me to believe his name is not out of it yet.

At this stage he's more of a chance than Bennett.

Not denying there is a story in there somewhere. Just tell me which version do you jump on with any confidence. People are writing it and hoping for the best.

If Cleary's management company is attempting to move its client to the Panthers and at the same time offer up another of its clients, that confirns something is upl.

Has to be done before pre season begins. The sooner the better as you both have said.

Kev was a great servant to our club and could never be accused of not giving his best. He appeared to be a leader off the field, the type of player every team needs to keep the playing group happy.

Never questioned his effort, but his ability wasn’t the best.

If he was first grade standard i could agree with you but he wasnt

I don't think anyone's denying it.
Rather, some will take the clubs and Clearys word until something official is forthcoming from the club…. Others buy into the speculation of the media and try to guess along with them how it all pans out while telling us they're good at reading human behaviour

It's like Gus commentating on a match, he will say something that he thinks will happen… then if it does happen, he goes "I told you so!" :laughing:

Haha yep… "I told you so"
Not just Gus

 

[Knuckles]

I'm backing Cleary to stay where he is, Bennett to stay where he is …. and the whole story is a lot of hocus pocus.

 

[hugh1954]

So bigsirro this is just your spin on the situation, maybe you should apply for a telegraph job

 

[avocadoontoast]

So essentially you don't believe that Ivan wants to go to Panthers at all, and that it's just something that's been invented by the media?

 

[matchball]

The reality is we will end up with someone like Griffin.
It's great to dream but our funds and facilities won't attract someone of Wayne's stature.
If you go to Red Hill and see what they have it makes us look like a pub team.

I'm happy to give this a rest but I'm not going to ignore that.

The reading of the human behavior was in relation to Cleary being gone. As time has proven his heart is out the door already.

I don't need an official club statement to see that. It was obvious.

Going on about that as if myself and other were nut jobs wasn't and still is not needed.

I would doubt if any club could match a team which has a major city and has until recently had a state all to themselves especially where League is by far the dominant sport in the area.News ltd looked after them and the NRL do the same hardly a fair comparison
