Clause 4.2.11 Contract between Elliot and the Panthers:

(a) The coach promises to stay come hell or high water.

(b) The coach will absolve Leary, Matthews and anybody with the surname "Cowan" from any responsibility as to his appointment and after sacking will blame himself only.

(c) The coach will bring a strumpeting white-anting coach killer up as an assistant.

A breach of these terms will result in the coach having to pay back 89% of salary to the club.

Haha Brohman, who could ever forget about this time last year when he ripped off my stuff from PI

What i posted on PI:

Lachlan Coote and Greg Waddell well done! What makes it more amazing is
that both these guys are in Year 11!

Wade Graham,Michael Mate,Lancen Joudo and Daniel Penese missed out. I
expect all four of them to figure in our Flegg campaign though, all are
also capable of making first grade at this club. Wade Graham will get his
chance next year he is only 16 and in year 11, so i expect to see him in
next year's national side.

Back to Waddell and Coote, both are having outstanding seasons for the
club, especially Coote.

So far in 07 for Coote:
-Top try-scorer in SG Ball
-SG Ball player of the year(under 18's comp,Coote is Under 17's)
-2 try's for NSW and Man of the Match against QLD under 17's
-One game of Flegg, scoring a try on debut

Waddell scored a hat-trick of try's for NSW this year, i expect him to
move into the backrow as he develops, a position where he played in our
successful Harold Matthews team last year.

I expect Waddell and Coote along with Graham to lead our SG Ball side to a
premiership in 08'.

What Daryl Brohman Reported in the Western Weekender

Penrith is renowned for its ability to produce high quality juniors and
two more have stamped their kit bags ‘budding first graders’. Lachlan
Coote (fullback) and Greg Waddell (centre) have been selected in the
Australian schoolboys squad. Both Waddell and Coote are having outstanding
seasons for the club, especially Coote. So far in 07 Coote was the top
try-scorer in SG Ball, was the SG Ball player of the year (under 18’s
comp, Coote is Under 17’s), scored two tries for NSW and won the Man of
the Match against QLD in the under 17’s. Waddell scored a hat-trick of
tries for NSW this year, and those in the know can see him ending up in
the backrow as he matures.

I also heard that Darryl did't like showering with his team mates due to a confidence problem. Source: John Ribot De Bresac, who apparently had the opposite problem.

here is a story on elliott in the local penrith press

Matt Elliott is under presure as coach of the Panthers.


STORM clouds are forming over Matt Elliott's coaching career after Penrith's humiliating 62-point flogging by the Raiders last weekend.
Elliott will go to sleep tonight with the knowledge that if Penrith fail to beat the Bulldogs tomorrow night, their season and possibly his job, are on the line.
Panthers CEO Mick Leary described the loss to the Raiders as "embarrassing" and the situation heading into tomorrow's match as "desperate". "It was the worst defeat in our club's history and a great shock," he told the Press this week. "We now desperately need to win on Saturday to remain a chance of making the finals."
The loss to Canberra sent the Panthers tumbling out of the top eight, from seventh to 11th on the competition ladder and has led to speculation Elliott will be the one held accountable if the Panthers continue to fall.
While mathematically Penrith can still make the eight if they lose to the Bulldogs, they play Melbourne, the Warriors away and then Manly in their final three matches as part of a horror run home.
Leary told the Press he'd prefer to worry about the future when the final eight is decided but it is clear the club is not happy with the performance of the team or the coaching staff. Addressing the media at CUA Stadium on Monday morning, Leary said there was now pressure on the coaching staff to improve the Panthers position.

Wing was qouted in a story before the start of the season saying, basically, he was within a bees penis of signing with penrith and it was only a last minute call from Russell that stopped him signing

Yes caged, the wing deal was all but signed sealed & delivered. It was a day to day proposition at the time (went on for a week or so) and then he mysteriously pulled out.

source: panther insiders.

With a fully fit Craig Wing in our starting side this year we were a certain top 4 side in my opinion. All we have been lacking is an experienced half and a lack of consistancy, which Wing would have addressed on both accounts.

A MASSIVE BLUNDER BY OUR MANAGEMENT NOT TO SECURE HIS SERVICES.

its no secret wing was close to signing bar one part of the contract panthers could not full fill. Wing wanted mirrors placed on every corner so he could look at himself.Penrith council considered this a safety issue and would not allow it

Wing cant help being good-looking as well as being a good player mob.

Its a cross that a lot of Souths juniors have to bear ( like later playing their best footy at other clubs...not too unlike the panthers!).

He looks cruel and no-nonsense chocca's.

When he came on board, this is what people liked about him.

Now it seems the hard-line fascist approach hasnt worked.

Its a great heart starter for the morning lol.

i hope people do not get carried away with the win.Elliott has failed to address the defensive problems of last week.The main difference was the raiders hit the 2nd man on there back line decoy movements and got us short out wide all day.The bulldogs hit the first man and our defence covered up.Up in the grandstand it was clear the dogs at times had 2 and 3 man overlaps but it just never went wide enough.I can see the tab next week giving us a 18 point start

absolutely murraymob, I fear the size of our win might serve to paper over a performance that, if we turn it in again next week, will see melbourne lap us.

Whose getting carried away with the win?

We were playing the bulldogs who are like a nsw cup side. It was good to win by a big score and Jennings had a great game in particular but next week we play the benchmark and we have nothing to lose as noone will be tipping us.

I don't think anyone here is but I've no doubt some fans somewhere would think we're back on track. If we ever on track to start with I'm not sure.

I'm definitely not getting carried away with it either.

We need to vastly improve to even compete against the Storm.
