Not really Paws.its Madges train wreck for the second year,first 2 years was Clearys,Pascoes and the cap fines and suspensions...try to be fair when making critical opinions....
Yea, you know what 100% agreed.
I can't judge Madge harshly with a Josh Reynolds that went buttersoft and the Mbye buy of the century... NOT!
You do have to ask why Josh Reynolds couldn't find his way back to first grade on a regular basis. yet it was clear that whatever SOO ability he had he lost. Likewise Packer just going limp biskit (IMHO this hurt us a lot more). Rather then dig all that up, yes you cannot blame Madge for it.
I also give coaches a fair signing fail chance.
For instance:
Wayne Bennett signed Josh Mansour.
Des Haslier with Canterbury, Michael Lichaa was probably his worst signing.
Cleary with, every signing above 400k he did for us! Looking back, bar resigning Farah all of them failed.
Bellamy probably has the best record of any coach, George Rose was probably questionable value, otherwise he usually makes great signing decisions.
year 3 Madge gets his pack. Of those he tried, he only got James Roberts and BJ Leulia. The only good part of signing Leulia really was his brother! Ok lesson learned.
Come year 4, the Hastings signing was far better then I expected. Yet it is clear were rudderless.
Defense still Buttersoft.
Attack "where is our plan!"
Grit, we give up after 50 minutes.
Year 4 is a repeat of Year 1. Fire Madge once you have a replacement locked down. Sheens can train newer coaches so a Ciraldo or Morris would work. I am far more experimental, Thurston (not happening) Cronk?, would go down well. Dean Pay would not be a bad assistant.
