Panthers sack Anthony Griffin

[Broncs_Fan]

Ben Hannant has really turned into a sell out POS. He just comes across like a bit of a shit bloke TBH.

I cringed listening to Hannant. Sad to see him selling out like he did tonight.

One day, someone in the TV industry is going to wake up and realise that giving big dumb forwards media jobs, makes the person hiring them no better than a big dumb forward.

listening to Macquarie sports radio and they are about to cross to a PC with Cameron Ciraldo ... so, it looks like Gould will be continuing on from last night

Given the situation, I thought has handled himself extremely well, and was all class on NRL 360

Really hoping the Tigers retain Ivan and sign Nathan

Be the best laugh I've had in years

That was quite bizarre. Journo's were interviewing Tyrone Peachey and then the Panthers staff came in and cut it off.

They said it was because several cameras were pulled during the interview, but I don't think so.

I reckon the media manager would have been pissed off at the shitty questions, and used it as an excuse.

 

[Dexter]

Yep, he was struggling to not answer honestly so they pulled him.
I think Dean Whare did an interview a little later and got behind the management and new head coach.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Panthers place a ban on coaching questions soon.
It's not fair to the players being pumped from every direction and it will destabilise the team when someone eventually slips up.

I'm thinking that neither Gus or Griffindor are "right" in this situation. Both seem like they would just drag any club down. Should have just gotten rid of both like a 3 week bandaid.

Wouldn't that be a magnificent plot twist. Gus Gould gets sacked as well.

I heard he said he thought the timing to sack Griffin was right.....and that management made the right call.

Hmmm.......4 games out from the semi's and the timing was right? Sounds like Dean and Griffin didn't get along.

It's an awkward position the players are in. They are going to cop questions from experienced journos and they will be trying to not cross Gus as well as not feed the story and unsettle their run to the semis.

I'm sure the Penrith media manager will be working on a simple stock standard answer for them all.

Tyrone Peachey did not seem to have a problem with Griffin at all. Just made a wisecrack about not being happy when he was picked on the bench instead of the run on team.

There was a huge noticeable pause before he answered, I'm betting they aren't on particularly good terms either.

 

[Foordy]

Hey Gus ... how's your new puppet working out for you :biggrin:

 

[BroncsFan]

Who's actually captain of the panthers now??

We talk about a leadership crisis at the broncos but Yeo led them out tonight and I though it must've been for a milestone game.

Wallace retired, coach sacked and Maloney apparently being shopped around... who the **** is leading that team

 

[Sproj]

who the **** is leading that team

Gould. He's the off-field captain.

 

[BroncsFan]

Gould. He's the off-field captain.

Hence my premise about us complaining about lack of leadership at the Broncos.

Deadset panthers were the Sydney darlings in a premiership window and appear to have completely capitulated.

Looks like we're finishing 8th thanks to the panthers
