Yeah, I can almost imagine a scenario where the Panthers win the wooden spoon and Cleary gets sacked - I don't expect the latter to happen as he's rebuilding the club, but still - and then I can make a thread entitled "Brown doesn't like Cleary", in which I point out that Ivan Cleary left the Warriors to go to the Panthers while Lewis Brown was here (and thus player power sent him on his way). Then Brown went to the Panthers, and Cleary got pushed out again, thus Cleary is a victim of Downtown Lewis Brown. I'd probably try to add in a witty reference to Brown's nickname "Snatch" to further 'strengthen' my point.
Meh...sorry.
This rebuilding garbage these clubs keep trotting out is a joke...Penrith and Parra have plenty of talent, but because they had crap seasons last year, they give themselves
a built in excuse for this season. The only club that is truly rebuilding is Newcastle, Bennett is culling players left and right that dont fit his criteria.
The two teams that i think could have had an excuse, when it comes player talent in general are the Bulldogs and Cronulla, sure they both have a couple of very good
players, but at the start of the season they were filled with journeymen for the most part, yet we didn't hear this rebuilding dribble from their coaches, even
after both teams missed the finals last season....if the coaching staff are saying their team is effectively broken and in need of repair, i can only imagine how the
players respond to that.
Humans are naturally lazy, and if you give them an excuse or a reason to take the easy option...they'll take it, and to me, it looks like Penrith and Parra have been taking
the easy option all year.
