Anthony Griffin

[Pantherjim.]

I predict this will not end well.

Ivan announcing today his commitment to see out his contract with The West Tigers.

Nathan off contract at the end of 2019 and off to West Tigers with his old man.

Should have never given Ivan the arse back in 2015 in this he first place.

Who’s to blame?

Gould.

Let’s hope the board grow some brains and show him the door before more damage is done.

I think you'll find Ivan used the word "intention". No reference to his commitment to the Tigers.

Might be semantics but in the RL business, who knows.

I believe that Nathan will re-sign and Ivan will come back in two years time.

We should get the local Antifa on to Gould to intimidate him out of the joint

Anthony Griffin's selfish actions

Lol what? The bloke got fired?

 

[franklin2323]

Lol what? The bloke got fired?

Gus was the one that brought up the Ivan meeting... It should never got brought it. Wasn't needed

 

[franklin2323]

The stuff about text messages sounds B.S.

Don't know what to think about the Wal thing.

I believe they happened... I don't think they mean the players didn't play a part in it.

Just like when someone leaves a workplace and you sign a card... Same type of thing

 

[forby]

Cant we just forget about Hook and concentrate on the rest of the season? The club can end up top 4 in all three grades!
Has this ever happened before?

WTF has ANTIFA got to do with anything?

Well, I wish I shared your confidence.

The only time that Gould has done anything good for this club was back in 1991.

 

[murraymob]

we can read what ever we want from interviews from the Clearys Gould Griffen.Nathen has come through the grades with a lot of this team . I think that will keep him at the club

Just having a laugh with you, your Avi.

 

[herbert henry1908]

What absolute nonsense.

When Gould came back in 2011 the place was a shambles, we’re now in one of the most competitive streaks in the clubs history. 3rd behind 86-91 & 03/04.

He’s brought through juniors, sorted out the junior programmes, built the centre of excellence & recruited well.



As I’ve previously said many times I do think he’s stayed too long, and some of the decisions in recent times have been poor. But if you can’t see the good he’s done since 2011 you’re either blinded by your hatred of him or you’re an idiot.

I was joking.

Confident of what? Just pointing out that Ivan chose his words carefully and didn't deviate from script.

You don't count convincing Packer to help out the club as a good thing done by Gould? It's attributed to Gus by the Board.

 

[jane the pain]

Really? He has fixed up the junior system, and he has saved the club from bankruptcy.

Is this when I just delete my comment & act like nothing happened?

 

[OldPanther]

Comment, what comment? Hehe.

Agree with @herbert henry1908. He might lack tactical nous but Maybe Griffin isn’t the big bad wolf everyone on here is peddling?

If you’re making up a rumour about why you fell out with someone, I’m not sure you’d be that specific to name a player. Very likely to be true.

I don't see how anybody could see Hook as the big bad wolf. 3 for 3 is a great achievement. The amount of players debuted is a great achievement. The team has character, tenacity and toughness. He has left behind a really good foundation for somebody to build on and take us to the next level. He deserves no hate or vitriol.

He wasn't a great strategist, so what? Big deal, he has still achieved more than most other coaches in Panther's history and most other coaches in the NRL. Ultimately, his lack of a strategic brain and his inability as a leader to use somebody to help him who does, are the limitations that stop him going to the next level.

As for the Wallace argument, it is neither here or there. Disagreements over specific players will happen all the time. We just need to move on and the club, including Gus, need to shut up and let wounds heal.

He hasn't won a premiership or even gone close. So he has achieved less than every coach who has.
