    I reckon if Gus was coaching at least for some of that period he would have broken their run.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I didn't say it was a bad thing, but it alone may not get the result you might want when the club is looking at a spreadsheet and balancing salary cap, who they think is on the way in, on the way out, taking punts. Passion/emotion works both ways - great for heart and what you put into what you...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Staying for unders is his choice and he needs to understand that, in the same way that if he'd left for a better offer, everyone would have understood. I just think he invested too much emotionally into the club, which on one hand you can understand and it's fantastic to see that passion, but he...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Was the club not relying on the family's integrity based on their faith, that the agreement would be honoured? Let's hope it comes through.

    Remember him from his Newtown Jets days, being a Jets fan and living around the corner from Henson Park. RIP fella.

    QF1 Panthers vs Roosters

    While some commentators feel we don't have enough players with finals experience i think the best approach we can take is the one we have - to treat it as just another game. The big match experience is about nerves - and while we will be put to the test - our coaching team will have us prepared...

    Finals.

    Got no issue with Gal making us underdogs. Also have faith in Cleary, Barrett and Ciraldo - that given that they've gotten us to where we are, taken us to a whole new level and in such a dramatic contrast to 2019 - to know how to get us mentally right for the finals.

    Anthony Griffin

    Of course, it would be bad form to run down any one you had conflict with. But if he said 'in my time out I've worked on my skills in understanding in dealing with different personality types' that would tell you something. In the fox interview I think he made a point of talking about...

    Anthony Griffin

    Certainly individual players should be honest with themselves - they're not doing them selves any favours by blaming others when deep down they know they've had a poor attitude. And they're meant to be 'professionals'. But the position of a coach of course impacts upon more people - and if they...

    Anthony Griffin

    Just curious to see whether the things he might say he could have done better at where the things that panthers personnel have indicated were issues, or does he have a completely different view to what his deficiencies were? On the surface Hook says it's about a 'falling out', but is that his...

    Anthony Griffin

    Did he actually say what he reflected on though? What he would do better? Like,he's admiited that he didn't handle the Moylan issue well - but I'm interested in hearing him articulate what he didn't do well with us.

    Anthony Griffin

    I think what is apparent is that Griffin's people management skills were or are probably closer to the Maguire end of the spectrum and not so much on the Bennett, Bellamy or Robinson end. While he might have the favorable stats on paper, you want him to have the people skills to have good...

    100% Official Griffin for the next 2 years

    It was panthers CEO that went and spoke to Cleary while Gould was speaking to Bennett - but neither told the other what they were doing. Once it came out that Cleary had agreed to join following the end of his tigers contract, he felt it wasnt fair to Griffin to keep him on given the media...

    Dragons Coach 2021 and Beyond

    You obviously are not aware that Gould was TOLD what the review would cover and it certainty didn't include reviewing their operations - I wonder why - and as Gus revealed later - it wasn't a proper review and he wasn't paid for it. Dragons boss just wanted to look like he was 'taking action'...

    100% Official Griffin for the next 2 years

    I think the issue was that he didn't actually utilise the panther's system - he wanted to do it all on his own

    100% Official Griffin for the next 2 years

    2018 pre-season at the panthers - and the rumours about Griffin losing the playing group started. Yes, that was in the pre-season. https://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/fix-it-did-phil-gould-spray-coach-anthony-griffin-/3349266/ Some of those quotes,with hindsight,make interesting reading...
