Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

[OldPanther]

hows that 5 year plan going??

It was a success.

This is all a ploy to get 100% Footy a Logie

Jarryd Hayne ain't gonna make the finals with the Eels so he should coach Penrith for the remainder of the year instead

Mossfun his assistant

No team in the top 8 has ever sacked a coach 4 weeks from finals and not won the premiership.

Im convinced.

 

[Peet]

Ivan coming home to coach his son?

Exactly - great way to keep Nathan.

Great we are in the finals every year and still not satisfied. Amazing change from the Leary/Elliott days

Much better than all of those constant 11th / 12th placed finishes.

Wests Tigers unlikely to release Ivan Cleary should the Panthers formally approach to sign him - https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/08/06...-as-penrith-panthers-discuss-possible-return/

Ben Hannant was interesting on 100% Footy.

Said he played under Griffin for 4 years and basically said he isn't up to it and hasn't got with the times of modern footy, doesn't really game plan and doesn't listen to anyone.

It will be interesting if Anthony Griffin head pops up again for a coaching position. I have read when there were rumors surrounding his departure that he could head off to Superleague.

The other thing is his record is superior to some of the protected species coaches that are below him on the ladder. (Brad Arthur)

Ben Hannant had a falling out with Anthony Griffin before his departure from Brisbane. Having a former player who basically has a axe to grind is hardly objective.

Hook’s just been done over by a full-on egotistical narcissist. History repeats, with a little variation.

Hook resigned from Souths Logan after too many club management intrusions by CEO Mitch Brennan. Won a QLD Cup premiership the next year at Redcliffe.

I’d bet a fair bit of hard earned that fugly knut’s been interfering from the get-go, supported by a few idiot disciples at Penrith, and Hook, with his usual integrity and to his credit, has resisted.

Good luck Penrith. I think you’ll need it

Not won the premiership!

Yeah because nobody else has ever been that f**king stupid.

Bennett to Titans, Brennan to Panthers makes more sense. Gus will have his cake and eat it.

So who will coach Souffs next year?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. #BringBackLangmack.

 

[BunniesMan]

It is madness. Showing progress from last year despite injuries. No logic at all. Can anyone recall the last time a team within 2 wins of first place sacked a coach?

Mossfun his assistant

LOL

Griffin was at two clubs with great resources, a huge amount of juniors and inherited teams built by pretty decent coaches (excluding Henjaks tenure). He's out of his depth.

Brad Arthur may be as well, but he hasn't been given near the same opportunities that Griffin has had.

Two wins from first is not out of his depth.

you would think Ivan would say f**k you Gould
