Ivan Cleary vs Trent Barrett
Two former mates who worked together at Penrith last season have had a falling out since Barrett left to take over the reins at the Bulldogs, roping in Matt Burton (next year) and Jack Hetherington to go with him. Look for plenty of spice in Panthers vs Bulldogs games this year.

I don’t really think there is that much animosity between Tbaz and Cleary. It’s just two coaches trying to do the best for their clubs. The media is just trying to manufacture something.
Moley ran outta rumours to post about the great Dean Matterson this week.

Yep nothing to see here, don't reckon Baz would buy into such bs anyway even if "Virgil" wanted to.

The media works on the formula of emotion, drama and controversy... even if it's partially, or entirely confected.

I reckon Baz is fine and doesn't pay attention to it.

Some of the comments from Cleary (about Penrith being better for Burton's development) tastes of sour grapes. Reckon he is genuinely pissed at Baz for targeting panthers players

Funny story. A coach who has made the dance twice for 2 x L and a coach who has made some positive moves with us leading up to 2021 but has a crap record so far as a FG coach..

Who cares?? Page filler with 5 days until there is no where to hide.

If Burton was off contract why is it a problem ? if it wasnt us would of been another club.
100%. Burton is a 1st grade 5/8 everyday of the week.

The media will promote anything for some controversy. One coach being polite and saying he hopes they'll look after the player the other justifying his stance on holding onto a useful player that may come in very handy if injury strikes their roster. The ramifications of this supposed fued will only be felt by Matt Burton who might have to wait a year before becoming a regular starter in the NRL.
