There was nothing malicious in that comment.

Saying "I pity you" in that context is pretty derogatory.

I didn't realize that you're so precious. That was not my intention, so I suggest that you get over it. Have a nice day.

I have just eaten, so I am. My God, you have taken the high road with this. I DID NOT MEAN TO CAUSE OFFENSE.

Well played.

What f**king high road. My last comment in no way was anything that could be mistaken for this.

 

[martielang]

Manly had Parker, Suli, Paseka, Tanginoa and Fainu. Hardly seasoned NRL players.

You've missed my point completely. I'm not arguing that we had the more inexperienced squad.

I bet Wal was involved roudcofvthe srnd off by the boys.

I took it that you are being defensive, hence, offended. Now let's drop it.

I don't care who was backing up Manly are a weak side. That loss was the most pathetic since the Elliott days

I try to see the bright side. There was no excuse for that garbage dished up. We should of buried them

 

[franklin2323]

That's not very nice.



They had it as bad as us with injuries and a few key players on rep duties. TPOW ran for 100+ after all his travel nonsense.

No rep wingers. No hooker a prop on no sleep. Lost 2 backs during the game it was a disgrace

I believe that I owe you an apology. I did not mean to belittle you.

Tamou has avoided suspension but was hit with a $1500 fine for kneeing dylan walker it was pretty stupid and hes very lucky he didnt cop a week or 2 especially with all the guys we got out due to rep duties and injuries already

It's fine really. My last comment was meant to de-escalate things.

Yeah it really was.

That'd be loose change for a guy like him.

GOULD, GRIFFIN FEUD RUMOURS WON’T WAVER

The rumour doing the rounds of some conflict at the Penrith Panthers between general manager Phil Gould and head coach Anthony Griffin will not go away.

We spoke to Gould on Saturday night after the disappointing loss to the Manly Sea Eagles and he predictably denied there was any issue.

However another high ranking Panthers official confirmed there had been some tension and recent disagreements between the pair over the direction of the side.

And that Gould had instructed assistant coach Cameron Ciraldo to take on a bigger role.

Losses to the Roosters (32-6) and the Sea Eagles (18-10) haven’t helped the situation.

This is a story we will keep an eye on over the next eight weeks as pressure builds in the run home to finals.

Gould denied the rumours when contacted. Picture: Toby Zerna
It’s unusual for Griffin not to return phone calls but we have tried him twice in the last few days and there has been no response.

Gould is very much a hands-on administrator who is not one to sit around and hold back his views and opinions.

If he thinks there is an area where the team needs to improve he’ll tell Griffin.

It’s the way he has always operated.

At the same time Griffin is his own man and enjoys the respect of his players.

Obviously Origin and other representative commitments have knocked this side around.

Reagan Campbell-Gillard is a huge loss on top of Josh Mansour and Waqa Blake.

The Panthers have a tough draw too with games against the Warriors, Sharks and Broncos over the next few weeks.

If things don’t improve and the Gould-Griffin tension escalates, it will be interesting how it plays out

They are both managed by veteran player agent Wayne Beavis.

It was Beavis who convinced Gould to give Griffin the job when he sacked Ivan Cleary three years ago. Griffin has made the finals in his two seasons at the club and up until two weeks ago had a side that looked capable of winning the premiership.

It's Buzz. Do we expect any better?

If he calls you of course you won't answer...That is the only truth in the story

I wouldn't even wipe my backside with that newspaper.

No. He is anti Penrith and Gould if he possibly can in the DT.
