I know it sounds stupid that Panthers are rehiring a coach that they sacked them and that Ivan is going back to the club that sacked him but actually its probably helped both, Ivan said that it would have been able to blood Nathan into first grade at such a young age being his father and considering that Nathan has now had that opportunity to make it into first grade and now going into his 4th year in first grade. Now Ivan can come in and has the chance to not only coach his son but a halfback that is ready to take the next step making the job a lot easier for Ivan.
REEKS of desperation by Phil "5 year plan" Gould. Such a desperate ploy to re-hire a previously sacked coach to keep happy an overrated, but pretty good, halfback.
The way he's chasing him it's as if he's chasing Sir Alex Ferguson...
Goulds 5 year plan is now about 10 years old. Why would Cleary want to be associated with a failure like Gould.
He sacked him once and sacks anyone who disagrees with him.
Cleary to Panthers and Bennett to Tigers. Macguire to Broncos. Would be a massive get for tigers. Also Tevita Pangai Jr hasn’t re-signed with Broncos yet. Loves Wayne so could also follow him to Tigers.
I’m sorry but for me that rules a line through Ivan Cleary for me if this is true. How can he be fully focused on the club paying his wages if he has already decided to go elsewhere on 2 years time? His position has pretty much become untenable. Also Nathan is still very young. Why not link up after his current deal and not ruin your reputation?
Not that it will, but it would be interesting to see what would happen if Ciraldo took Pemriff to a premiership between now and 21, given that Ivan has failed to do so as yet
