I'm 9 mins into the podcast, very interesting. Gus denies any involvement with Ivan Cleary or any discussion with him

It wasnt Gus who interviewed him ,it was someone called O'Neill...
He loves to keep people guessing does 4 chins.

 

[franklin2323]

Well if that is the case then I think Hook will play nice.

The headline on Fox Sports App. 'I was wronged' hope that means he will tell all

 

[Kilkenny]

Tell me I have no idea and then give your own opinion of what happened, seems legit lol you clown you have no idea either.

It has been reported that players wouldn't re-sign without assurances, everyone was talking about it on Monday.

Just as you have no idea, neither do the media pundits.

It is just all media speculation to fill on line newspapers, blogs and what ever else there is on social media.

During contract negotiations the priorities for players is how much they are going to earn and for how long.

There is a clown on this forum and you are the one with the big red nose time and time again.

I'm not a supporter of your club, but my best mate is a panthers supporter, so I've always had a bit of a soft spot for you guys.

I've been thinking about your last few years, and what you need to make that final transformation from development club to NRL powerhouse.

Looking at the last couple of years, I think that you guys would be best served by having a coach that can get the very best out of your players from the start of the season. A strong start with a simple game plan would work wonders for your team, and as the season progresses, the natural talent of your players will shine.

There is only one man for this job. Mary mcgregor. We'd miss him terribly, but in the spirit of sharing and caring I'd (magnanimously) like to volunteer him.

I'd also be happy to gift wrap the merkin and express post him.

You're welcome.

You're a gentleman of honour. We appreciate your generosity.

this could derail our season tbh so many distractions

This will derail both Penrith and Tigers seasons.
Tigers wont make the 8, but Penrith wont win it from outside top 4...NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE

If what Gould says is correct, Dave O’Neill the panthers chairman has to go.

He’s basically gone behind the panthers board back & created all this mid season drama. Griffin was going to go at the end of the season, but O’Neill brought things on without telling anyone.

Which is why it should of been done earlier if it couldn't wait til
Post season

April 2017 ideally...

 

[herbert henry1908]

Give him a life membership.

There was little need for this to happen now.

We might have a better chance in the finals without Griffin, but all this drama might also derail everything.

To me Gould needs to be in there coaching the team right now, even if he isn’t the game day coach.

 

[franklin2323]

You can't do that in the modern game. Bennett has a full staff of people and so does Bellamy. You can't do it yourself anymore.

Of course. So you fire him instead of 'managing him through it.

If the coach isn't performing to a standard then fire them

 

[franklin2323]

April 2017 ideally...

If that is when he 1st became managed 100%. You shouldn't have to help a coach do their job correctly

I disagree, the sooner he was gone the better.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Ok, so Gould wraps up by saying he will be in their helping Ciraldo.

Ciraldo hasn't been coaching that long and Wallace has been coaching for 5 minutes. Gus providing assistance has to happen.

Gus says in the podcast that the meeting between Dave O’Neill & Cleary was over the sale of Clearys house.

Listened to the podcast. Am calling bullshit. Dave O'Neill would be in a world of trouble at the club if his loose talk had led directly to the sacking of the coach, and if it had persuaded, completely without collaboration from Gould or the board, Ivan Cleary to talk to his club about a future move to the Panthers.

Griffin was always going. This just accelerated it. He didn't get Griffin sacked.

I have never felt that Dave O'Neill is the Chairman type. I am not just saying that because of this Cleary/Griffin thing either.

 

[TheFrog]

I disagree, the sooner he was gone the better.

Not 4 weeks out from the finals.

 

[betcats]

Not 4 weeks out from the finals.

The situation was untenable, do you know what that means?

Besides that he was coaching the creativity out of our players, look what he did to clearys kicking game. The sooner they are out from under that the better, I don't care how close it is to the finals.

O’Neill should fall anyhow. Gould has implicated him, unless O’Neill disputes Gould’s version.

Then it should’ve been handled earlier.

Either way heads need to roll. It’s a clusterf**k.

Exactly. It's interesting what Gus has said about Wal and when he realised what was going on.
