Is Cleary a dud?

[TheFrog]

I can’t remember the last time we won a penalty count. (Or it certainly seems that way)

I think it was 6-5 our way vs Storm, but we got 5 of ours in the first 15 minutes and couldn't get through them with all the ball. We've lost all the others though.

I guess making a grand final isn’t getting close to winning anything aye (with the Warriors no less)

By virtue of the McIntyre system, they got flogged 40-10 in week one. Great finals format that one.

This thread was done when he was bumbling away back in 2015. 4 years later back again

Only 5 more years.

Does he have a 4 or 5 year contract? I thought it was four? Hopefully it has performance clauses in it, such as allowing us to sack him with a one year payout and nothing more if we don't make the 8.

Cows made a GF after losing 50-6 in the first week from 5th.

5 year deal right up to 2023 unless there are any hidden clauses.

Ivan= YES
Junior Chin = NOT YET,BUT WILL BE A DUD.
You wouldnt go to war with Chin Snr,he would be running for the hills when in trouble.
The person you should sack is Senior chins bum buddy O'Neill for signing him longterm.

Yeah and they got pumped 13+ in the GF too, what's your point?

[Panfa]

Glad to see The Riff struggling.
Nathan needs some "Chin" music to get him motivated.

That was JOHN Cogger.
You have a similar type player in Baloney.......The illiterate Baloney fits in well out Riff Way.

 

[trevcogger]

Chin Snr has NEVER won a comp.
And if you want to pay both Jnr and Snr chins $2 million a year its Baldy O'Neills fault.
Gussets Gould must be seething.......lol

Did anyone ask for clarification when Cleary said he had “unfinished business” at the Panthers? Perhaps he just really wants that Spoon he missed out on in 2015 by 1 game.

That's an awful lot of uncomfortable after-game pressers for him and us yet to endure then.

Honestly though, given our squad and coach, I'd say we should be expecting a 50% record for the season, 12-12. We'll string together a few wins in a row, drop games against the big boys, be close to squeaking into the 8.

No reason we shouldn't of matched last season. We lost depth but the extra experience of the top 13 should of accounted for it.
