    The SMH story says he'll be staying at Penrith as an advisor.

I mean he said 2027 will be his last. If Ryles has a poor start to 2027, there will be pressure on the club to make a change. Just saying.

  Yep but do you think our guys have the nouse to set up a move a year and a half out to land Ivan I'd give it a 1/10 chance.NFLs version of a Hail Mary.

Think this is to make it easier for Nathan to sign to PNG.

ivan will prob have a break while Nathan earns the mega bucks.

  If Cleary and Luai turn up there imagine how many players they'd attract.
  
  Players take less on the cap with TPA top ups free for the next decade if they want to push home an advantage it's a perfect time to strike for the Clearys and others.

    Yeah think it will be many panthers and exes in their inaugural year. Ivan accepts that I'd say.
    
    Yes, tax free goes an extremely long way and TPAs could be anything. Don't think the TPA rules will apply stringently to them either...seriously as if NRL are gonna notice if they do anything illegal ??

"It's interesting that the club refuse to put him on the injured list. What is this saying!
1. The Club Doctors have no physical evidence, tests are not conclusive One way or another ?
2. The club can see a lawsuit coming if they agree he is injured…"
