Without trying to sound rude, Why does that matter?
Unless the perpetrator is a male, then there is a greater chance that the female victim is likely to be seriously harmed. My heart is racing now, and due to me recovering from a heart attack, it is best that I leave this conversation. In fact, I regret responding.

I am glad that Jenko left. Also what Micheal did pales into insignificance in comparison to what Matt did. Lodge threatened to kill people, and he didn't serve any gaol time?

Pales into insignificance?? Are you for real? You have clearly lived a sheltered life. Do you honestly think he would have received a custodial sentence for that in Australia? Not a chance in hell.

It doesn’t really matter, Lodge made a dickhead of himself and has been paying for it ever since.

Personally, I think there are a lot worse people in the league and I’d give him a break.

But as I said, I’m well aware that I’d be amongst the minority, that’s cool with me.

Oh I am for real. Read my previous comments.

Not sure how signing cleary is going to take us anywhere .He has been here before .And turned our attack into one pass run kick on the last. We can not win the lot using that style with the current squad we have. Gould is turning into a reactive leader .How to we keep Nathen hey lets sign his dad

I am in the same boat. Ivan had his go here it didn't work out and I don't believe with Gould still around him and Ivan can make it work. If I am wrong I stand corrected. When Ivan comes I will be fair and give him another go. I have plenty of doubts though.
Someone said awhile ago Penrith would move heaven and earth to keep Nathan should the possibility of him leaving occur. I believe the club has done that. A very expensive gamble.
Time will tell if its a master stroke or a blunder.

Matt Lodge is also a victim of violence. He had a very rough time as young fella.

He stuffed up, he’s taken responsibility for it, he hasn’t run away from it.

You don’t have to agree, makes no difference to me.

I’m sorry you have had bad things happen to you. No one deserves that, but it’s not going to effect who I think would be a good pick up for my footy team.

If you've ever listened to any of Gould's podcasts, it seems like only a matter of time before he comes to Penrith. Bennett leaving the Broncos is probably a catalyst for it. Some may not like it, but it wont stop Gould from signing him.

Not so sure, towards the end at the warriors they were seen as a genuine competition threat.

He did make the finals with them for 2007, 2008, 2010 & 2011. They were building to something.

They finished 5th and 6th in 2010 and 2011 though. The GF run in 2011 was good but it isn't like they dominated at any stage like would be expected with us

To be fair I don't think Gus is behind the Ivan push. Seems more board related

So only people you like(apparently women) should get sympathy? Really the Matt Losge story is one of breaking the cycle of violence. That should be celebrated.

I did not say that at all, OldPanther. My God, are you seriously that stupid? If he was the victim of domestic violence, then why on God's earth would he continue with that behaviour? By the way I am being rhetorical.

I had thought that the 2021 contract would have coincided with Gus stepping down. It could be viewed as a sacrifice to get Ivan to Penrith (after previously sacking him) so they would not have to work together.

But in light of todays stories in the papers that is very unlikely now.

Was all just a theory I was harboring.

The majority of people who comic violence were once victims themselves. This rings particularly true with domestic violence. This has been proven.

Mate, he threatened to murder a 9 year old child after breaking into their house...

He should be in jail, for a long long time. He made more than a dickhead of himself.

Mate of mine who is a huge Warriors fan was never a fan of Cleary and thought that his sole attacking plan was to bomb it to Manu. He reckons the Warriors around that time were talented enough to go far no matter who the coach was.

This is a huge step sideways in my opinion. Cleary will achieve about as much or as little (depending on your perspective) as Griffin did.
