Chammas is making it up he got called out for it by Gus Gould last year. Hardly a revelation any club is asking questions after 3 wins. He has no idea Read is the only one with any real info.

It's very emotive because madge is such a good bloke.

But if we look at the facts, post review, the club have taken away Madge's control. They had to tell him to delegate to the other coaches and have seen improvements.

Madge hires his cronies as assistant coaches which were just terrible. Did the same at souths I'm pretty sure.

To turn the club into winners do we really want a coach who has to be told how to coach. The coach should be doing these things already.

Chammas also mentioned api and papali pretty much just came for the money and players won't come for less until we start winning again. Said generally the players never leave the club for the coach.

I'd say he 100 percent has contacts at the club, did you watch it?

That hasn't happened since Farah and Benji were playing for us. Since Brooks was 'given the keys' as he'd continually asked for, we'd been listless, rudderless and heartless. That's changed since Hastings got given the 7 and Brooks was demoted

Oh you mean when he had better teammates? I agree.

Since there were players doing all the things a halfback is meant to do, yes. (Talking, leading, directing, controlling.) All the things Brooks has never been able to accomplish, hence he lost his precious coveted halfback position

You think Api and Papali couldn't have got the same money or more elsewhere?

Didn't he get snaked at south's? Probably hired cronys as a reaction, still a stupid thing to do

Haven’t seen it yet.

A strong part of the anti Madge sentiment over the last few seasons was that no players want to play under Madge.
Now we have 2 decent signings and it’s “no player leaves for a coach” and “they only came for the money”.

Also players won’t come unless we start winning?

We ain’t winning and we didn’t pay overs whilst Madge was still here.

I did and it’s a narrative he’s run for a while. The facts are not correct Papalli and Api are signed well under what they could get on the market. He doesn’t speak to any decision makers he was caught lying late last year. No doubt he has sources but of what consequences. His mates were running an agenda to get Flanagan hired.

It goes back quite some time - I am told Chammas doesn't like Maguire and has always been keen to run anti-Madge articles; been this way for years. Pretty sure the guy does not have a direct line to Tigers power-brokers. He probably pieces together information from tidbits from player managers.
 
I know articles can be described as "anti-Madge" but the wider issue of WTs heading into the fourth year of poor results cannot be pigeonholed in this manner. It is not about Madge as an individual, but the performance of WTs on-field. I'm pro-Weststigers not anti-Madge for the reason it is not about him. The individual moves aside for the greater good of the club.

Bennett, Bellamy. Players do move to play under coaches. Lifestyle. Not just the money.

Westslife pod managed to get chammas on tonight.

They are very pro madge and club and were on the defence most the interview.

Chammas comments were interesting, said the club definitely asking themselves if madge is right for the club or can another coach improve us more.

While I know it's easy to be subjective and bang on about the injuries and how hard the players are trying, but the club are the only ones that know what the deal is and if they can be level headed and objective hopefully they can come up with the right decision.

something is in the air, Give it a listen.

Chammas hasn’t had good mail on us for a while, he is guessing. Results not happening = pressure building.
