Anthony Griffin Released

[SteveTidball]

Now that the Griffin issues is well over, and the coaching situation going forward has now been clarified, I think it’s time to put this one to bed.

This thread is now closed. To continue discussion regarding the new coaching direction please go to the Ivan Cleary signing thread.

Cleary appointed Panthers head coach

Finally official. Ivan Cleary is returning to Penrith on a five year deal, effective for 2019. Don’t think any of us are surprised by this. I’m glad it’s finally confirmed and the speculation is over so we can get on with it. Is Ivan the man to bring us a premiership? Will he see out all five years or will he get “tired” again? Was all the drama worth it for the Cleary combo? Time will tell, I suppose.
