And I think Peter Wallace is going to be a great coach.
We're going to talk about him.
Yeah, we're going to talk about him.
But, I mean, a lot can change in 12 months, right?
Like he might not enjoy that aspect next year if โ
if that is the case, I don't want to speculate too hard, but what NRL clubs would be going to Ivan Cleary and saying, we want your services for 2028?
Ridiculous.
Yeah.
I imagine that, I don't know the ins and outs of a coach's salary cap, but I imagine that the NRL as well, particularly the NRL-owned clubs, they'd want Ivan Cleary in coaching still.
And that consultancy role where you're not really doing press conferences and whatnot, especially for these new clubs, like we're saying, like with a Perth, they would want someone like that to go over there.
These franchises, they want to see work, and they're desperate to see work because it'll grow the game.
I can't see why they wouldn't be getting together and trying to throw ridiculous money at Ivan.
Well, what he's done for that, not just that, but like the community too.
The gathering of the community in Sydney's West, the West and Sydney Rugby League community, which has always been the heartland of Rugby League, that's never been bigger.
And that's because of what he's done at Penrith.
Like the junior system, everything.
Everyone in the West wants to play Rugby League.
What does this mean?
I know a lot of the Penrith Panthers players are off contract in 2027.
Nathan Cleary and Isaiah Yeo are the two big ones, but amongst a number of others, which we spoke about it before and P&G have sort of circled that they're looking at a lot of those Penrith Panthers players.
