Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[unKwn]

does Cleary really want to leave to the tigers now?

 

[Black Magik]

It would seem a career killer.

 

[Abacus]

But, but, but....his dad is there!

[OldPanther]

But, but, but....his dad is there!

Yeah both Griffin and Brandy said the same thing.

 

[murraymob]

when signing he needs to know his father would be long term at the tigers .Given there results that cant be a sure thing. That's why I think he will stay

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

I honestly believe that Nathan's parents are more keen than he is. Nathan seems to enjoy, (spoken recently) about how close he's gotten to Brandy and how much he loves playing with his mates.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

It would be like buying a house next door to you're parents. I mean seriously who does that if it can be avoided.

 

[murraymob]

one thing we know about Ivan he will tell Nathen what he thinks is best for Nathens career rather than think about himself .He is a great father and great guy

He doesn't need to he still lives with his parents.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

He's planning I understand to move out. I think you missed my point.

Totally agree

 

[GongPanther]

I'm of the belief that because Nathan Cleary is at a learning curve kn his footballing career,it would be counter productive if he left the Panthers. He has the training with Brandy,the inquistive influence of Gus,and the onfield experience of Maloney,and the steady advice of Griffin. Why would he go anywhere else? And for that matter,why would any other player contemplate in leaving? If anything,we should have players knocking our door down asking to play for us.

Who would be bothered by living next to their parents? Honestly I have had lots of neighbours since I moved from home and Ive never had issue with any. But I think living next to the parents would be fine.

Just being under a different roof gives you your independence and space. Each to their own I guess. I would prefer that than playing footy for my dad.

Your coach is your boss. A father and son will always have some bias toward each other over teammates and other players. Would be hard to find the balance. I think the resl instinct would probably be to overcompensate for the bias. If Ivan was coach still. Cleary would only be a rookie if he had even made his debut. Not because he isnt ready. But because picking your son looks biased.

Although now would probably be the best time in his career to do it. He's an Origin player and has proven himself worthy without favoritism from his dad. By his next contract in 5 or 6 years it would be hard to go play for your dad then. What kids going to listen to gheir dad after playing 8 years of finals and Origins and so on. Probably having won a grand final and Origin series. Anything Ivan can teach him he would learn for free well and truly before then.

I agree. I do not think Nathan will leave.

Word is we have signed Lloyd Perrett until end of next year. Decent signing if it becomes true

Would be a terrific signing considering our front row injuries. Not a world beater.. but would be great for depth/competition once back at full strength

 

[Kilkenny]

Lloyd Perrett hasn’t quite fulfilled his early potential but given our injury woes he would add depth and competition for places in the forward pack. No doubt the Sea Eagles would be paying part of his salary.

 

[age.s]

Yeah I had a feeling we'd get someone given the timing of the Wallace announcement. Would be very happy with Perrett given our current predicament.
