Opinion Penrith

I think Nathan will retire much earlier than expected.

By the time 2027 comes around, he'd have achieved all there is and unless he sees himself in another sport, I think he may consider hanging the boots up to enjoy the life he has earned. Unless of course he wants to continue to make bank, stack trophies and score goals...if you know what I mean....eh eh.......

I don't see it. He could be on 2Mill a year come 2027, at 29/30 years of age.. Another 5 years of playing banking 10 mill + taking endorsements into consideration.. You're a long time retired..

To be fair Ray Price is the kind of guy a journo calls on a slow news day to say something stupid they can’t write a piece about.

I've said it before but given the NRL is rolling in cash it really needs to establish NRL Films ripping off NFL Films.

There are so many stories to be told across the league.

Give us 'The Greatest Game' as a direct copy of 'America's Game' for each premiership winner since 98 (or earlier).

There is a mountain of content to be mined for the post Elliot rebuild at Penrith. Just the clips of Rothfield mocking the 'five year plan' would be comedy gold.

Bana as Cleary is an inspired choice.

They can shoot it Nolan style with a mixed timeline narrative. Sepia style flashbacks with Ivan outside Cafe de Wheels with Gus.

'Ivan...you're done' *orders hot dog*

I think a Nathan Cleary/Michael Ennis Baby Reindeer type piece could be a big seller.
