Future of Nathan Cleary

[Copperhead]

I originally thought Nathan would be leaving to go play at the tigers.

The more i hear Ivan talking about it now, the more i feel he is doing his part to bump Nath's $$$'s up as high as he get it. Safe to say i would do the same for my son

The Panthers have a premiership window open, the tigers i cant see one for sometime yet, they would also have to punt Reynolds and or Brooks.

I think Nath is about winning a comp at this stage of his career. He knows he is going to get the coin regardless, and he has another 12 years to play along side dad.. He has a lot of close mates playing along side him now at Penrith, throw in 1.2mill a year and playing within a top 4 potential roster, i think that may be enough..

I think that's what happened too. Penrith made that lowball long term offer and Ivan stepped in to make it known it will cost a lot more than that to keep Nathan.

 

[OldPanther]

I hope that's what is happening. Ivan is pretty cool and calm so hard to get a read on him.

Look - Gus is no fool. We are building up enough of a war chest to keep him.

Money is money. You wouldn't turn down a $1m+ contract on the table at Penrith out of spite.

Gus is the reason I think he's not 100% gone.

Forget him going to the Roosters. It just wont happen. Unless he signs somewhere else, then mores to the roosters post that contract.

Politis will not poach him from his best friend Gus.

Exactly. He still has 10 years to play with Ivan. ATM he wants Origin and to win a comp. Also when he is slogging it out in 40c heat on the running track he can do it here with his best mates.. Our somewhere else with no one he knows. He will re-sign here. Not sure about next deal

Agree about his mates.

He'll play rep no matter where he is.

If he's the type to like stability he could stay as well but I don't know the bloke personally.

Ivan keeps talking about timing has to be perfect but not sure what his definition is for that.

I think these days to have a player for 6 years is a good effort. I think he signs a 4 year deal with us... That gives him 7 years in NRL with us. Probably that will be enough for him and he moves on

 

[ACTPanthers]

He's gone after his current contract expires - We have no chance of re-signing him - Well, that's my opinion on it anyway

That is what I am hoping for. one more decent contract here after his current deal expires.
He is happy here atm lets keep it that way.

 

[superpanther]

if he goes he goes, no point stressing about it!!!

Roosters will need to replace Cronk.

Cleary will be their target, Roosters have dollars.

Spot on, that why they only signed Cronk for 2 years they already have Cleary in their sights!!!!!

Roosters can piss off. They have 2 of their own young gun halves coming through in the next year or 2. Lam's son and O'Sullivan.
Plus do think Uncle Nick would want to raid Gould's backyard.

I see no reason for him to leave yet anyway.

It is like not I want this, I can just see it happening, Nick tends to get his man.

I hope not.
I think we can match just about the best offer out there come 2020. We are clearing the decks.
Gould would pop a row of haemorrhoids if Uncle Nick came knocking. Their friendship would be in tatters.
The one thing we can't offer is the opportunity to play under Daddy. If he wishes to so soon.

I meant not like.

Hope he stays a penny, I like you guys.

You're a good sort.

Look - Gus is no fool. We are building up enough of a war chest to keep him.

Money is money. You wouldn't turn down a $1m+ contract on the table at Penrith out of spite.

Every club in the comp will be offering $1m though.
