Anthony Griffin

[unKwn]

Couldn't be happier. f**k the club in shambles lines, we weren't going to win shit and were not building towards anything for next season. A change was needed and this is great timing, gives us a shot at a miracle instead of going quietly into the night.

exactly. we weren't going to win the comp when the staff or players have no faith in a supposed "arrogant prick".

We had such great success under Ivan Cleary, seems only right we bring back the SuperCoach.

Only Penrith. Would sack a coach. Improve their win % then go back to the failed coach

I wouldnt say Ivan failed.

 

[franklin2323]

On Griffin. Didn't get along with him, acted like a teacher. Footy wasn't enjoyable under him.

Also restated a lot of what was in his Western Weekender column last week.

The players loved Elliott and Ivan... That went so well

 

[GongPanther]

on nrl 360 they're talking about the possibility of Bennet going to the riff. buzz saying that they would not work given their ego. kent and Ikin saying that they could just work together for 2 years to get the premiership and part ways. this whole situation is getting crazy wowee

Don't listen to those f**king idiots and their suppositions. My hope is that Cleary is coming back to the Panthers. Maybe Gus has figured it out that because the coaches salary does not come under the cap,he can pay Cleary overs to pay his son,so we can create even more room in our overall cap for other players.

Of course Gus will have to work out a release deal with the Tigers by offloading a couple of promising juniors/seniors to the WT.

Either that,or Brennan comes back from the Titans and Ciraldo to the Tits. But whatever the eventual outcome,it will be a very,very interesting event this Saturday. If the Panthers spark up and go up a couple of notches in their overall performance,this will be seen as a move that was overdue. And it will provide the fans with a renewed vigor in the Panthers chances of winning the comp.

What is his win % here and overall? Either go unproven or Maguire or someone that has runs on the board

 

[chrisD]

Ivan didn't fail. He f**ked up at that press conference and got a bit down after that season but he didn't fail. Mistakes but nothing worth losing his position over. Gus failed by getting rid of him. And if Gus is going to own to that and is willing to bring him back then good.

It doesn’t matter how high you’re winning percentage is if no one likes you or want ton work with you.

You know you're probably right.

Actually the coaches salary does come under a football department cap. If you go over the cap you have to pay what’s called a luxury tax.

 

[tripster]

If you were Ivan you wouldn’t be coming back without a 5 year deal or something lengthy like that. Tigers will be f**king pissed off too if he leaves. They will rapidly go back to being shit.

Not aware of that.

How about Cleary to Panthers,and Fittler to WT?

He has beaten top 4 teams in finals and made a grand final.

Hook has done neither. But yeah lets compare the coach who has rebuilt 3 clubs win ratio to a coach who has only had teams ready for giving a premiership a shake.

 

[BxTom]

then went on to say that it's Ivan Cleary

If I was Cleary,with a side absolutely humming in promise for a GF,and an early chance to coach his son with his mates,I'd bloody go to Penrith.

The crap in the past is water under the bridge. Getting him back would be a coup.

Gerard has links with a board member. I promise you he isn't getting anything from me.

Also Gerard and Ivan were at Norths together in the 90's.

 

[Panther Pete]

I would love to see Ivan back. He was Coach of the Year with us and got us within a converted try of a grand final with in my opinion a significantly less talented squad than the one we have now.
