Anthony Griffin

Yeah nah most the players think he's a prick.

Even Gus in the podcast said no player has spoken bad word of the coach or anyone at the club. Maloney pretty much said the same thing.. Until someone changes that it is all just guesswork

According to a fox sports reporter this morning, most of the players are pretty happy with the outcome.

Can you, please, upload a printed article, if there is one?

It was a tweet only, pretty sure someone posted it a few pages back.

 

[OldPanther]

Of course he is going to. He isn't going to talk bad of himself..

The Academy opening helped coincided with Griffin here. That would of helped him bring them through

I'm glad we've come to a reasonable middle ground.

I'd like to see Hook expand on what his coaching philosophy is. Playing Cartwright at 5/8 and Josh Hoffman at 5/8 (back when Hook was coach at the Broncos, for reference Hoffman has zero ball playing skills and isn't even a stop gap 5/8). Telling Ben Barba a player that relies on speed on agility to bulk up and pretty much turning one of the best players in the world into an average fullback.

His philosophy seems to be bullying your way to try line with size and power and nothing else.

It was on the sports news program on fox channel 500.

Yeah I saw that tweet, however, that could be a handful of players. Thanks.

Hoffman’s doesn’t even pass enough to play on the wing.


Hook just wants blokes to take hit ups and “win the middle”. No attacking kicks, no long kicks that might go dead, no grubbers, no flare, no long passing. Hit ups, the shift the ball through the hands with short sharp passes, that was his game

Says “vast majority”

Only Seggy, who has no credibility in my eyes, Hannant and Soward, have said negative things to say.

Ben Barba too.

The truth is always in the middle. Gus trying to hard to be the good guy. Griffin over selling his situation. Results have him 2nd on our list of coaches win % wise. So of course he will milk that.

Nothing to gain from the players not coming forward if this was the case

There is a mountain of evidence to suggest a lot of the players he has coached really didn't like him very much.

Given the amount of talk about how much Moylan didn't like Hook we can almost put him in the list even though he hasn't said anything yet.

Yeah hook said as much last night.

If these reports are true, then how come a lot of players have recommitted to the club then?

Possible that they were told Griffin would be leaving.

and some like Mansour because they love the club.

Yes, but that’s the murky world of contracts.

I don’t see much difference between Cleary wanting to coach somewhere else & a club wanting someone else to coach them.

We know as well that the tigers were interviewing Pascoe behind the panthers back. They’re hardly innocents.

Pascoe was on the way out after a run-in with Gus over who controls what. Pretty sure Pascoe approached them.

I reckon there is a big gap in someone wanting out of a contract - and someone wanting out of a contract AFTER approaches have been made in relation to finances and family. Of course I am making an assumption here that an approach has been made - if it has it would not be too hard to prove.

In any case the Tiger have a right to enforce the contract, if they wish. There is no getting a round that. It is up to Cleary or the Panthers to convince them to relinquish that right.

Gotta love him.
