Griffin Vs Brennan 2018

[OldPanther]

I think it'll be fun to keep a thread on these two as the year progresses since there's been so much discussion.

Week 1: Griffin 1 Vs Brennan 0.

We have a much stronger roster than Titans who will be rebuilding. There's something wrong if Hook doesnt destroy Brennan.

Titans are pretty much wooden spoon favorites. Or atleast were before they signed Cartwright.

If Brennan gets them to finish above the bottom 4 that would be a solid first season. They're alot like we were when Cleary arrived.

I watch every game even if I have to record and watch around life stuff so will still get an idea of what he's like as a coach in comparison regardless of results. The tally is just for fun.

I chuckled when I saw the thread title.

As MX said, the 2 clubs are at very different stages in their rebuilds.

Still I think I'll be nervous when we play the Titans as I'd expect Brennan to have them up for those games at the least.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hook always did well against Bennett. But I think it was his former club as a whole had the extra motivation to beat him.

I think our boys will have the motivation to beat him as much as he does us. Bit of wanting to one up each other.

Titans wont get the spoon. I am probably in the minority, but I'm expecting them to still be in the mix for the 8 in the round 25. Brennan has a knack of getting his charges to play well. In the lower grades it didnt seem to matter who came and went from his teams. They just powered on. 1st grade is a whole different game, but I truly rate him as a coach and am expecting big things this year.

I think they are bottom 4. Defence looks non existent though won't get the spoon

 

[mxlegend99]

I think they have the weakest roster. But a few potential top 4 roster turns to shit pretty quickly with injuries to the wrong players.

Actual NRL season it's 1 all.

Panthers coming back from 14 down
Titans coming back from 18 down.

Seeing our Panthers rejects beat Raiders in similar fashion to last year was good.0

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Titans are terrible, but Raiders are worse lol How they lost that is laughable. Except for Ricky

Can we please expand this thread to be Griffin v Brennan v Cleary v Barrett?

Surely with the Tigers doing well and Manly destroying the Eels we now have even more proof that Hook isn't up to being an NRL coach.

Yet we sit above all of those teams

It was more a tongue in cheek thing because he's just come from here into his first NRL job and he apparently was a promising coach.

It's a shame the club is such a basket case and he just lost his only good playmaker.

 

[mxlegend99]

Brennan wont grab many wins this year.

Barretts team put more points on Eels than we've ever put on a team under Hook

Cleary is the exact opposite and his side has won 2 games against premiership heavyweights based on defence.

For mine the ranking after 2 rounds would be:

Cleary > Barrett > Hook > Brennan

Although we have the best roster out of any of those sides. No reason we cant and won't beat them.

Griffin: Start better and keep winning!!! I can't afford to have a heart attack every week mate.

I tipped Eels on the weekend. That was the laziest footy I've seen and glad our boys don't give in like that.

Raiders are shot.

Poor Darth Brennan stuck with trash. Hope he does a good job rebuilding.

Not doing himself any favours selecting an out of form second rower at half, while overlooking an actual young gun half in AJ Brimson.

Arthur is the most overrated coach

Brennan has a win. He defeated the Raiders last week.

Cleary - 2 wins
Kearney - 2 wins
Griffin - 2 wins
McGregor - 2 wins
Brown - 2 wins

Outside of Cleary and possibly Brown those coaches are hardly well liked by their clubs fans either.

Arthur - 0 wins
Flanagan - 0 wins
Pay - 0 wins
Seibold - 0 wins
Stuart - 0 wins

Arthur and Flano you would expect to have registered a win by now. Stuart too considering they played Titans and Knights first up.
