Anthony Griffin

If this was what the coaching staff and players wanted anyway. Now's their chance to prove it.

if the players led a mutiny etc as reported - they cant hide now, fn show what you got, fix that defence up !!!!

We will take your SECONDS Nathan Cleary and give you MWZ in return
You can keep 4 chins Gould and his 5 year plan,which is now up to 8 after you fail again this year

Ivan Cleary is not coming to Penrith. Now you can slither away and enjoy watching the finals from a distance.

 

[GongPanther]

We need a coach that can take the next step. Ivan hasn't done that so why will here be different? Isn't that what you were saying about Griffin the whole time?

Interesting that Weidler commented that they have had inquiries from contracted coaches.

 

[herbert henry1908]

This is what I’ve been saying for a while

Hook can’t get the team to the GF

 

[franklin2323]

Funny how people say Griffin couldn't get us the comp win... Yet then say a coach with an inferior record should coach us

Hopefully teams above us on the ladder. Need a proven winner now we took this step

i think griffin was getting carried by the talent in our squad, Gus on twitter even sort of admitted it too. I think Ivan would go well, just dont think he'll come

Yeah that’s what I’ve felt, we were winning in spite of him. He wasn’t bringing much to the table tactics wise.

All on the players now. We sacked a coach with a 58% win rate 4 weeks from the finals... The pressure is now on

If Ivan does indeed return then it will be interesting to see who we discard in the process.

Ivan likes a lock in the mould of Elijah Taylor. I don't know if he will persist with JFH or Merrin there.

One thing is certain. Tigers fans will be royally pissed.

 

[OldPanther]

That's the confirmation.

 

[Fangs]

We've heard that one before haven't we?

It's like a poor stand up routine.

Yep.

It’s notable for the omission that Ivan has assured them he won’t be leaving.

Instead it’s “as far as I’m concerned”

Who's to say Ivan won't too? Remember he has seen most of these kids grow up together. We need a hard nosed coach that takes no BS

 

[Fangs]

Yep.

Tigers will be extremely unhappy I think. I'd be pissed with Ivan if I were a tigers fan.

With that said I'd prefer another coach anyway. Anthony Seibold. And I think Gus might make a crack at him.

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

Hook has never done either.

Does it guarantee a comp? No. No coach does..but give me Ivan in the finals series any day of the week. His shitty inferior roster at Tigers has beaten Storm twice in a season. We've done it once in 15 years and he was the cozch when we did.

Hook is 0% against Bellamy.

 

[GongPanther]

You my friend are the smartest person here..
Obviously you don’t live in Penrith
The Cleary family hates Gustine Gould
Ivan won’t even speak to him

WOW!! The news just gets even bigger. Wests Tigers are having a emergency meeting with Griffin.

Why do you think Gus will have a crack at Seilbold?

 

[BxTom]

Well not to say I told you so but everything I’ve been saying about Griffin now looks fairly correct. Take out all the swearing and insults and the analysis is correct.

We should’ve fired Hook when he banned attacking kicks.

I have to admit that you got most of it right and I was wrong. It's just so hard to believe that Hook would actually ban/seek to control to that level. I'm still in shock. I find it hard to believe that that Brandy and Gus (and others) let it get this far (including extension of contract). The timing gets me. As others have asked was there a trigger - re-signing Cleary? Player revolt?

Much egg on my face - I must have cracked a few too many whilst I was eating my humble pie.
