Panthers's Terminate Cleary's Contract

[ElectricEelMan]

Getting rid of Cleary will only succeed if the Panthers make a home run hiring.
Griffin is NOT a home run hire. He is more like a swinging bunt that dribbles to first base. It gets the team nowhere .... damn I gotta watch less baseball

 

[Dazzat]

The top 10 "worst buys of all time" came out this week - and two of the players featured in the top 10 were brought to the Broncos by Griffin - Kennedy and Barba.

I would have thrown in Scott Prince as well. Griffin brought him to the Broncos which effectively locked out Ben Hunt from the halfback role for another year and also lead to Corey Norman leaving the club.

Griffin has no idea about building a team. Bye bye Penrith.

Both are scummy... one was obviously facetious, the other (yours) is flat out disgusting - someone actually did die there

Um no it wasn't facetious. Someone (two guys actually) died in that scenario as well with merlons like Wizardman baying for their blood.

So the question still remains; what is more scummy? To suggest in the past that a footy coach may be indirectly responsible for a footy player's death or to actively wish for the deaths of two rehabilitated criminals?

 

[Pantherjim.]

I like Gould TBH. He has done well helping the Panthers move into a new phase of professionalism, I seriously wish he came to Wests. Wasn't afraid to make, or back, big calls (Lewis/Gordon/Jennings/Grant,) in what he saw as necessary to help secure long term success.

If for whatever reason Cleary doesn't fit into those plans, it's a fair call to make I guess. There is more than is being reported.

With all due respect TC, I disagree.

The best thing he's done is bring us a premiership in 91'

But it was all downhill from there.

PS: name all future future 1st graders, you cigar muncher?

Katoa and Jennings have already played 1st Grade. JFH in the fulltime squad.

If we can get the same success rate as from our 13 team I will be happy

Ok, fair enough... both are scummy - but are you seriously suggesting that a coach cannot drop players for fear something terrible might happen?

 

[betcats]

So you're telling someone to top themselves just for having a negative opinion of Gould?

Gee that's not scummy at all is it?

If that were the case I would of told you the same thing you moron.

Fair enough, it's happening at your club, not mine!

There's more to it than that.

Boods was also denied a 91' premiership blazer despite playing in the GF.

But I'm not suggesting Gould should be held accountable for his death either.

All I'm saying is that Gould has made decisions that has negatively impacted on the club in the past, now it looks as if he's made another.

To suggest that someone should die for having an opinion makes you no better than pond scum.

Fair enough... history now, that 90-91 team (IMO) would have won at least another premiership or two had these things not happened.

Time will tell on Cleary, he's a good coach, and the Warriors letting him go was a poor decision.

 

[Jason Maher]

Dude, I'm a Wests supporter not a Balmainite. We have a club, plenty rich.

And you haven't played a game since 1999, when you set new records for shitness.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

If Cleary comes back to the Warriors I won't be looking forward to Gould commentating our games.

I never look forward to Gould ever commentating, but we get SFA CH9 games so it wouldn't matter much.

I'll never listen to another word Gould says if he appoints anyone, Griffin et al, over Brennan. Has pissed on about how good this guy is, should be an NRL head etc and ends up confirming himself as a massive hypocrite if he is not.

Then again, if he's geniused enough to appoint Griffin then I shouldn't anyway.

 

[RL The greatest game]

This is a bad day for Australian Rugby League with this and the Dave Smith situation.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Clearly is a very good coach, but not a great one. TBF their aren't many great ones going around, but I'd rather not see him back at the Warriors. I didn't think he was a premiership winning coach back then, still don't now.

He would be a great fit for the Tigers though. Definitely knows how to rebuild a club and get the best attitude out of players.

 

[DB]

My sources are telling me Steve Price is shortening as favourite for the job.

 

[GongPanther]

Fmd, what a dumb f**k thing to say Albert . . . there is a line you can't cross

Ignore the troll Popeye.He is a another person trying to get a raise out of people.

He made a comment a number of posts before this one.And because he was ignored,he had to get that attention that he was so desperately seeking by crossing the line with something outrageous.

It simply shows nothing but the measure of the poor character that he/she is.

 

[TheFrog]

There's more to it than that.

Boods was also denied a 91' premiership jersey despite playing in the GF.

Ben Alexander didn't play in the 1991 Grand Final. He was on the bench along with John Cartwright, Brad Izzard, and Anthony Xeureb. The plan was for Alexander to come on for Simmons as had been happening in previous matches, but Royce had a blinder and Gould left him on. In the event, only Cartwright and Izzard were used.

I'm sure Alexander would have received a premiership ring and his jersey as he was part of the 17 man squad.

 

[Glen]

Yeah he did a great job picking Ben hunt as a bench hooker for 3 years

He just didn't want to risk the kick-off going to Hunt to start the game

How short?

As short as his chin?
