He had less than 50% win record until gifted with a top 2 roster. The players out and terrible standard of play have shown him for what he is.
Gifted a top 2 roster? Do you remember how bad the 2019 season was? Do your remember all the shit thrown up about Ivan when released and had to pay 3 of our highest paid players to play at other clubs?

Last year, no one picked the panthers to even make the 8. Go back 18 months and read all the shit on this forum about how Nathan wasn’t a halfback and should play hooker, Luai wasn’t a nrl five eight and Burton was better, and all the other crap said at the time.

This preseason, despite making the grand final the season before, after losing a number of the experienced players many experts predicted them to drop back to bottom 8. Not start the season with a 12 game winning streak.

Its was not a top 2 roster gifted to him. It’s the youngest team in the nrl. And no one could say with a straight face that they expected the success the Panthers have had over the last 18 months with the roster they have.

Nobody's 'crucifiing' Staines. Why do you exaggerate so much to support your own view? Just twisting words. As to May, a good utility, but it's not fair to criticise him - he is being asked to play in a position that he has never filled at NRL level.

There is plenty of criticism being directed at Staines on F/B, Twitter and even chat channels.

Yet the Roosters have a worse situation with players out and still keep winning. Shows the difference in coaching.

They decide the narrative and refit history to suit, the joke is on you for replying.

The roosters scraped home by 1 point, and had some decisions go there way. We lost by 1 point and had some bad calls go against us.

Rooster conceded 8 penalties and 3 set restarts plus had a player sin binned.

Titans conceded 1 set restart.

In no way did the roosters benefit from the officiating.

Lol and yet Bellamy and Robinson are laughing while we lose with players out.
We have had an amazing 18 months that no one in their right mind would of predicted.

Yet after 2 losses, with our young side decimated by Origin selections, you want to use that to lay crap of the coach, and bag our certain players.

Can’t you just acknowledge the great job done by Ivan and the coaching and high performance staff to get us into this position, and look forward to getting our best players back and continuing on with our great season?

May has been getting criticised even when winning but for some reason is off limits.

A lot more people than me have criticised Ivan and worse than me too. I'm just doubting his ability to make us competitive for a title under adversity. Until he proves otherwise that won't change.
