Panthers officially announce Griffin as coach

[gUt]

Doesn't sound like a side coached by Benny to me, not since the days he had Renouf and co at his disposal anyway.

Bennett coaches mistake-free percentage football, with outstanding defence. Attack is just used as a means to score points. It almost won him another premiership, but negativity lost it. HIS negativity.

This insight alone makes him the greatest coach of all time.

If I was rebuilding a club I would want Griffin for the first few years and then Cleary after that.

Why? Cleary rebuilt the Warriors from shit and Panthers from shit. Griffin's never done it with anyone. I'd want Cleary over Griffin every day.

The bloke you're talking trash about is the sole reason your merged club has had anything to cheer about, how about you show a bit of respect chum

<3 Wayne.

Are you suggesting we will still be playing in the first weekend in October?

Post of the year.:lol:

 

[GongPanther]

But-but,where is the oven and the dishwasher?

Lifes Good.:lol::lol::lol:

I can't say he re-built the Broncos as we were never in any sort of dire position to begin with but he did develop and nurture our current crop of players, his decisions at the top level are what cost him his job

Cleary had one good season (4th place) in 4 completed seasons.

His predecessor also had one good season (2nd place) in 4 completed seasons.

The only thing that makes Cleary the more successful of the two is that Elliott got a spoon and Cleary didn't, by the skin of his teeth.

How abput Cleary winning week 1 of finals against the minor premiers sending us to week 3 while Elliott was eliminated from second place in straight sets to lower teams.

Elliott was a genius, they managed to last 26 rounds of football by kicking to their winger.

Coote scored 17 tries that year from bombs too.

 

[Maroon4life]

Well that's Penrith f**ked.

This guy kept Hunt out of 1st grade, let Granville go, put Hoffman in at 5/8 & recruited Scott Prince.

Best of luck :thumb

Interesting to see how this works out.

The scary thing for Panthers fans is this doesn't seem to be a player revolt against the coach. There may be a few players who are loyal to Cleary and new coaches always have different ideas on which players should be kept or signed.

If Griffin fails then another coach comes in with more ideas again and that's when good players start leaving because they fall between the cracks.

Gould is no dummy but this is a big risk to remove a good coach from what looks like a settled side on the rise.

Elliott lost his semi final from 2nd place by two points, 4 tries all.

Cleary won his semi final from 4th place by 1 point, 3 tries all.

Both lost the following match.

Not a huge lot of difference. A close win is better than a close loss, no doubt, but they both could have gone the other way very easily.

 

[Jason Simmons]

Griffin gets another coaching gig?

Bwahahahaha!

That is all.

Yeah there's not much difference between a close win and a close loss. Tell that the Broncos and Cowboys fans.

It's all about winning the battle...

I'm comfortable with how history will remember the Cowboys of season 2015

Griffin likes overweight and lazy players, i'm surprised he didn't throw Idris a lifeline.

Idris is in the same school as Dave Taylor, plenty of talent and potential, just absolutely no heart or desire to achieve it.

 

[Doomednow]

Except Idris was actually effective when he was on the field.
