OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[Fade.To.Black]

It’s not the time to give the job to Doueihi. He has enough on his plate coming back from a serious injury. And Hastings needs to establish himself. Just give the job to Twal.

Have never heard Twal utter a word.
Captain more often than not needs to be a bloke that is very vocal, will get up his teammates if they are loafing and lay down some harsh comments when needed.
Twal is a consistent toilet but not sure if captaincy material. He's the pack's version of Brooks.

At what point does sheens step in to coaching ?

I believe the best way he can assist is to offer constructive feedback on how to engage an audience. Also, suggestions offered in a non career threatening way about game plans and tactics may assist. In the end, imo Sheens will have a significant role in determining the coach's tenure.

 

[tony soprano]

Never, I hope. Sheens job is to introduce and establish a more positive culture at the club. To make it the club where it’s an honour to be given the captaincy.

Po. 7u un 7h you have y66.

Still looked like a madge run team.

Geez the Brooks haters and ones stirring the pot that Madge hates Brooks would be livid.

Part of me would love this to happen though. Might force Brooks to take a big step change.

I think Twal and Brooks co captaincy is the most likely scenario

Are you trying to saying that Twal is a shit house player?

 

[TrueTiger]

Call me an oddball, while it didn't sound good, I think he was simply trying to take ownership that it was the team's responsibility to improve.

He was trying to say last year wasn't on madge

Totally agree,when does poor performance get laid on the shoulders of the players instead of the coach ....??? I agree that some coaches get poor squads to have to work with at times,but they are very limited at this level...
UNDERSTAND....the players are professional NRL players paid big money in one of the biggest arenas in the sporting world..missed tackles,careless penalties,poor play the ball,poor kicks,simple turnovers all are the responsibility of the players....

BUT THEN AGAIN MOST OF THE LOSSES CAUSED BY POOR PLAYING ARE ALWAYS THE COACHES FAULT.....and on it goes until these players finally wake up and perform to their paychecks and contractual agreements..Something about the saying..''.cant handle the heat in the kitchen....then get out....''
AND Im not saying that Madge is a world beater as a coach,but man he covers for his players instead of arse kicking them and then wonders why the critics come a calling...


sidenote.....as far as the captaincy goes,I would love to give it to Hastings...he has a point to prove in NRL and has had experience at this level,he has matured and hasnt any real mates ties or long time friends to deal with on the field....he has leader written all over him,but lets see what happens....

hahaha toilet.
Yeah ive never heard a peep from him either, he could sound like pee wee herman for all we know

 

[JC99]

I would hope Madge has changed something because our current trend has been downwards lol

With two new assistants in I'm sure there's been changes at training, hopefully it's for the better. Tamou is just trying to say it's on the players to take responsibility but I hear that every off season

Yeah he did allude to that the players were trying to take ownership for last year
But...if the coach dont change nothin, how are the players expected to change anyting?
You do the same shit over and over expecting a different result...lunacy

It’s Brooks fault every week. Within 5 minutes of full time his thread was dragged out of moth balls.

He was captain at the end of last season

That’s the worst part about the whole thing. They have looked in the mirror and said “we need to try harder and we will be fine” rather than saying “what can we do differently? What are those teams doing that we are not?”

The interview was the worst thing I saw last night. Yep the on field performance was below where it needed to be but if that is what they are thinking off the field it’s worse than I thought.

There will be a big difference from some if he is club captain over just been called captain game to game.

Realistically we don’t have anyone who is a strong captaincy candidate.

Toiler.
Bloody auto-correct.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

The only positive out of that interview was that he managed to not mention the Panthers.

I hope the silly prick rues the fact that he chased security over a premiership for the rest of his days.

he did win premiership with the cowboys

Nothing wrong with a consistent toilet F2B. The last thing I want is a surprise in the throne.

Too true mate!🤣

 

[Telltails]

I question whether any coach can succeed without leadership on the field. Maguire unlikely to survive - but until this squad has a player/s prepared to step up and take the lead the team will continue to go through the motions - no matter who is head of calling the shots off the field.

 

[tony soprano]

His interview was fine madge ain't ever changing
