Will believe it when I see it. Until then I'm fully expecting we sign a coach with zero NRL experience.

What every you say or think about them Rothfield and Kent they clearly have leaks inside the Tigers. Some of the things they come out with meansthey have a couple of players and a couple of board members that leak information. Kent said Cleary is on his way.

I really need to get Fox.

Ivan Cleary would be the first smart decision WT have made under the new administration.
Marina Go has to resign effective immediately as the boards chair they have run the joint To the ground. Allowing the players to come off contract at once and not at least negotiate one or two of them prior to expiry of their contracts is ineptitude. The adherence to The failed Brian Smith and his protege JT is embarrassing. They only acted against JT because Isaac Moses forced their hand and they would be embarrassed.

We need a management clean out and the board has to appoint a chair who has an idea about Rugby Legaue and administration. Who that is I have zero idea but I would be getting Shane Richardson as CEO of the joint above Cleary and firing everyone else.

We are run by light weights

Absolutely agree
GO must GO
No credibility - never did.
Couldn't spell rugby league when appointed and still can't.. a total PC appointment.
Fine to run a leagues club probably but NOT a football club. :crazy

Yes they do obviously have access to a leak or leaks and probably direct ones. It's a shame they can't be forced to produce their phone records. Leaking confidential board discussions is pathetic.

Wouldn't mind seeing Dave Furner getting a shot.
Not a great record when he coached the raiders but I'm thinking he has learnt a fair bit as assistant coach at the Cows since 2013.
Good football brain and a tough dude. Could teach these young blokes a thing or two

No contest. Cleary. Please can he bring his son with him.

 

[sheer64]

Voted for Toovey just for the press conferences :roll

I'm sure Nathan is his own man. Doubt he feels the need to follow dad.

Nathan had a clause in his contract that if his father moved he could,
but he had the father son clause deleted from his last contract.

I guess a positive out of all of this, is that if Cleary does come along he may be a link to a number of decent replacements, although I do agree I doubt Nathan will come across, unless his recents issues prove too much for Penrith. Also his defence isn't the best so I'm not sure he is what we need.

It's an exciting prospect thinking who he could attract for next year if appointed. But as someone pointed out in another thread, we'll probably only sign McQueen and an underwhelming half to replace Brooks and that will be it.

 

[Flippedy]

Hope that is true, there is one poster on here who will have egg firmly on his dial if this is true, would love Cleary to take over.

Who would that be?
Everyone would choose Cleary above those mentioned. Including me.
I just want Todd so it kills these halves career. Then we can move them on and buy some real players.

And who would that be?

Give me two halves who we could afford that would be any better

Foran wants back to Sydney. Much better than Brooks.
With the cash we'd have you could poach the comp.
Robbie money is clear next year. We could really buy well if we dumped one of the halves.

Foran's a mess - steer clear.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I said Tooves just because I'd love to see the doors fly off after a loss. They need a coach who'll tell it like it is. No coincidence that the proverbial hits the fan at Manly after his departure.

Cleary is a good option as well. He could motivate the Warriors to play good consistent footy, so he should be able to do it for us as well.

Cleary would have links to Whare and Ben Matulino - both off contract and both would be welcome additions (although Matulino has been down on form and a bit injury prone lately).
