Those suggesting drinkwater please watch his defensive display against cows

I'm sure a premiership coach like Madge can improve his game and get him playing to his full potential.

Seen our no1 defend

I know, 😆

Think we need a bit of experience for the 1 position.

Not much available tho.

Think Madge is simply one dimensional in his coaching style...sturdy defence plus one out running.
Works when youve got a pack full of Burgesses/TEO/Stevens with kicking halves like Reynolds and Sutton...8 man rugby League effectively
Got him a premiership,but unsustainable..particularly if the game speeds up as it has.Siebold set their backs free
Madge is a good guy,but limited...and at the core of our attacking issues
..and next the players stop defending as they realise its a lost cause

I was defending Madge for a while, but I think you have nailed it.
At Souths he did bring a Premiership with Premiership level players. I suspect GI's word helped get him the job.

Our backs need development. We after 4 years+ haven't had good defensive culture.
We will always have attacking flare, but now we are lacking an attack.

Defense has been wide open for 4 years. The recent improvement with the titans is welcome. Yet will the players get sick of loosing and give up? Hoping Cayless gives us some grit and glad to see a little recent improvement, yet it is way too little too late (especially after seeing us loose so badly to newcastle).

We need someone else, I just don't see upgradable options on Madge.

When Madge won the comp at Souths, Api Korisau, Alex Johnston, Kirisome Avau, and Kyle Turner were rookies, Luke Keary was a 1 year veteran with Dylan Walker, Adam Reynolds had been in first grade 2 seasons. Yes they had Inglis at fullback but that's virtually a spine of rookies. I think the Burgess twins had only been there a year. Not a bad result with a bunch of babies.

By no means am i saying sign jorge taufua. he must be about 4th sing down at Manly in the outside backs. When Turbo went down they had a rookie (Kolua-or something) coming into fullback they highly rate, then he had a minor strain and they didn’t want to risk him early in his career. There’s the younger turbo and a couple of others in front of Taufua .. were looking at

He’s not better than our current wingers.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Your sure Simpkin is going?

so we pay Simpkin to play elsewhere ?
geez we do that alot

 

[Viking Warrior]

I wish Xavier Savage was available, would give us some pace and some attacking flair.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Simpkin has been so disappointing. I really had high hopes given the hype when we signed him. You can’t expect him to be a complete player at his age, but you can usually see signs in players that age, like Walker, Walsh, Nanai etc. Simpkin has shown none of that. He’s just bleh.

Quite funny how Momirovski is applauded as a top quality centre by Tigers fans and after 5 games Roosters fans are calling for his head

Different supporters have different expectations. If the Roosters were knocked out of the finals the first week 3 years in a row, they’d call for Robbo to be sacked. We’d wanna re-sign Madge for a decade.
