Wests Tigers legend Chris Lawrence joined Aaron Woods for Footy Talk League’s Woodsy’s Club Tour and praised former coach Ivan Cleary.
The three-time premiership winning coach at the Penrith Panthers had a very eventful and controversial period at the Tigers during 2017-18.
And Lawrence could see back then that Ivan was destined for great things.

Unfortunately for the Tigers faithful, a return to the Penrith Panthers to link up with his son Nathan was Ivan’s destiny.
Yet, Lawrence gave an interesting insight to how Cleary Snr was able to get the most out of his side without James Tedesco, Mitchell Moses and Aaron Woods himself.
A young Luke Brooks was able to earn Dally M Halfback of the year and finish three points behind in third to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for the game’s ultimate honour, as the Tigers were able to secure a respectable ninth place after losing so many stars.
