Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

[mxlegend99]

Two wins from first is not out of his depth.

5 of our wins have come after throwing his game plan out the window and winning on natural talent.

Outside of Round 2 vs Souths. All those wins are against teams trying to avoid a spoon. Souths in Round 2 were not that good. Certainly wouldnt surrender a 14 point lead today.

It was unanimous from players to coaching staff that they wanted him gone

I heard that Ivan got sacked in the panthers stadium car park which is pretty low. He wasn't even given a professional termination. Why would you go back to Gus after knowing he is the real coach. Even if it's about Nathan. Just say no and Nathan leaves anyway.

Reckon they might give Hasler a go. Best of the unemployed coaches by far.

Interesting comments from James Maloney on Big Sports Breakfast this morning.

He singled out the Wests Tigers as a club where players have too much to say in the running of their club hmmmmm

It’s possible. Did he play for them in the 80’s?

If it was all about wins, you're not wrong.

In 15/16 teams the players can still win despite the coach with Canberra being the obvious exception.

 

[Perth Tiger]

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

Hopefully he says f**k you, and i'm taking Nathan with me to the Tigers

 

[Diesel]

Or agrees to comeback if Gould moves to Canberra & helps his mate Ricky for the next 5 year plan

Everyone is assuming that the Tigers would release Ivan from his contract if the Panthers approach him. No indications so far that this would occur as it would result in more upheaval for the Tigers than they need at the moment.

Might not be able to stop him.

Penrith Panthers offer long-term deal to Ivan Cleary to leave Wests Tigers

If I were Ivan I’d say get stuffed to Penrith/Gould.

 

[Pantherjim.]

Phil Gould is a deadset, f*cking dickhead.

Why did he give Ivan the arse in the first place??!

 

[Diesel]

And of course Gould won’t admit he was wrong in 2015

 

[Diesel]

Is Ivan only wanted at the Panthers because the club wants to keep Nathan

 

[ek999]

Does this mean Ivan might be hopping off the bus

 

[Captain Apollo]

Might not be able to stop him.

Unless Cleary has a release clause in his Tigers contract, then the Tigers can prevent him from taking up a position elsewhere whilst under contract. That's established employment law.

If he gives notice I doubt they could stop him. From everything I've read this stuff is hard to uphold in court.

I believe so too.
