Cleary Package Deal

[Johnny73]

I admit, I got a semi reading that. That's the dream.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Signing Ivan and Nathan together as a package doesn't make a lot of sense. Imagine we have a couple lean years and Nick wants to sack Ivan. Will Nathan want to stick around or go somewhere else as a package?

I still think robbos future lies as an administrator of the nrl. Perhaps ceo.

he is a statesman and a thinker. He does not appear to have alienated other clubs. All ingredients for leadership

Not necessarily. They have stated that they would like to play together at some stage. That doesn't mean they want to spend the rest of their careers together.

Seriously, Ivan is well into his 40's. Where is he going to play?

I reckon Ivan (even in his 40s) would do a better job at hooker than friend

Well summed up I guess.
Fans forget how much Robbo loves our club.
His first initiative was teaching the playing group to respect our history, and backed it up .
He installed pride in the tri-colours, perhaps better than Gibson did.
Can't stand the thought of him being a "career coach" who moves from club to club.
I've followed this team since the 70's, was brought up on it.
When life sux, it is a crutch as well as a passion.

Trent Robinson is the best coach we've had in our long history............IMO

sorry

Nathan didn't leave Penrith when his dad was sacked...

[rented tracksuit]

Why would it be ideal?

Swapping a premiership winning coach for one who's never won jack shit, and got sacked from his last job doesn't make a lot of sense to me....

OK, he turned the Tigers around, but lets face it - they couldn't get any worse.

but we’ve gotten worse with a premiership winning coach. What does that say about us or the coach then?

in their backyard?

Good point.
My other issue is clubs with lots of juniors who claim "blow ins" as their own.
**** the panthers, and the merged lot.
Got sick of those bastards telling me we "nicked" their junior.
They were the pricks who took over the south coast and gave them nothing.
Yet Hastings jnr was their property and we poached him.
Pricks are laughing at us and manly now..............but they are hypocrits, and were'nt laughing at the time.
Sick of the crap we cop as a club.

I agree with this, could easily be the best ceo the game has ever seen as well

Got to say Nathan looks good in a Roosters jersey!

Ivan's most successful stint was at the Warriors with a 50% win record. He was punted from the Panthers with a 47% win record (and sat out a year with no offers) and currently has a 39% win record at Wests.So we are rating him on the first 9 rounds and specifically the 2 Storm wins. If the Tigers don't kick on from here his stats will be well under the likes of coaches who are on the scrap heap like Michael Maguire (56%) and even Geoff Toovey (58%). Ivan also had a very good roster of players at the Warriors and Panthers. I just think we shouldn't get too carried away with Ivan's coaching ability

Good point, Axe. Robbo always has the interests of the game at heart. Of all the men who have coached in the NRL is there one who has been as non-partisan as him? He never puts the interests of the Roosters ahead of the interests of the game.

He'd be a good administrator, but I hope he has a few more productive years at the Roosters in which we win comps. Robbo is an honest, respectful man, has a good record as a coach and it's up to the players to perform on the park. Do they want Robbo to be sacked?

Dale Shearer and even Fatty looked good in a Roosters jersey.
