For a large chunk of last year, Ivan Cleary did not enjoy coaching Nathan. It has been a different story this season | mrchrisnico NRL Panthers
"This year it's been pleasant working with Nathan, but last year? Last year was very tough," Cleary tells the"There was an emotional hangover leaving the Tigers. That put the spotlight on me in a negative way and I thought that translated on to Nathan, which was a burden for me to carry.
A sex-tape scandal rocked the club at the start of last year. The cap situation needed fixing, which included offloading Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Waqa Blake to Friday night's rivals.The form of the No.7 has truly been something to celebrate in 2020. Cleary thanks Penrith legend and NSW coach Brad Fittler for showing tremendous faith in Nathan when it came to Origin last year. That decision to pick him when there was pressure to look elsewhere has also played a role in Nathan's fantastic 2020.Cleary knows there is still a long way to go for the actual Panthers. He respects good judges tipping the star-studded Roosters and Storm to start favourites through October.
