Season "23 bolters.

[Smug Panther]

I don’t understand your thought process you led the anti Gus Gould cheer squad in regard to some of his recruitment and retention decisions. Given our success this past three seasons I would have thought Ivan Cleary and Matt Cameron have done a very fine job given the difficulties of the salary cap. I would have thought opinions around the job they have done would be 90% positive.

Apart from Burton they have nailed most things

Even with Matt Burton they were on a hiding to nothing.

Rumours around the Dogs offering $750k but clearly he is going to command much more than that so good luck to the Dogs trying to hang onto him.

Yeah it's hindsight but locking him into playing centre and letting Critter walk was the move

Where did I say they haven't done a good job? The salary Cap means you can't keep teams together.

The fact we have dominated and had few injuries means we haven't be able to debut more young guys.

The flow on is some doubts over a couple of positions

 

[Smug Panther]

And for all the amazing work Ivan has done and it's been f**king brilliant he only has a job here because Nathan is his son.....crazy to think about

It is just about opinions. Some on here differ to yours, no big deal, don’t see why you seek to dispel the opinions of some who don’t share your viewpoint.

And you know that how?

He was brought back to keep Nathan. It's very simple Jane. It's amazing it all worked out

I don't, All part of the conversation especially in the off season with no footy to discuss.

Your probably right in some respects although didn’t Nathan re-sign a long term deal when Gus was still in charge. Maybe my memory fails me but I thought that was the case.

Off season is always tough. Tough to generate and sustain meaningful conversation I understand that but I kind of think we have to rise above the negative narrative around our dummy half options or whomever may fill the Kikau void.

Only problem being Burton wanted to play in the halves..

 

[Kilkenny]

Only problem being Burton wanted to play in the halves..

Rightly so.

 

[Smug Panther]

Only problem being Burton wanted to play in the halves..

Yeah but he'd be signed and we'd only now be picking who we want at 6.

It's not like we are struggling haha

Yes it worked, however, we would never know the definite reason behind Ivan's return. Simple

Just another Panther you underestimated and got wrong. Cleary, Edwards, Luai, Martin. Next year Kenny.

Do you get sick of wiping the egg off your face?

Thank you for airing my thoughts

Was wrong about Edwards but not the rest

 

[Smug Panther]

I make evidence based calls on my opinions unlike other clowns in here who add nothing to the discussion

The rest of the side is locked in
The coach isn't going to be sacked
We have won the lower grades, So not much to discuss as far as improvement there.

Peach potentially taking Salmon's spot
Api's replacement
Kikau's replacement

Are really the only discussion points as it sits
