You’re right, Madge had nothing to work with but he made terrible recruitment decisions, had little to no game plan and didn’t improve the players.

So he didnt recruit Api a 3 times premiership winner or Papi one of the 3 best performing backrowers in 2022...that will do me ...you have no idea ,,,,its not easy trying to put together game plans for low IQ pretend NRL players,thats why Hastings was a good player for us...he has the IQ yet we perservere with Brooks...

Winning solves everything. Except team selection, now we have too many to choose from 😅

We dont really...we need experienced heads and the youth to learn off them...what Sheens does from now on will show how far we have progressed as a club and team...this club has made many poor decisions over the years and Sheens being away for so long may have made him change the way he treats players and their positions in our new game of 2023..

You and others can rubbish Madge all you like,he had bugger all to work with because of the cap garbage he had...he had the smarts to recruit pro players such as Api and Papi but the haters cant wait to lick Sheenss arse because they think he is our savior...as far as the raiders go they will improve ,its a trial and ricky and madge will have them in a better position than what everyone thinks atm..Also dont think the Dolfins will be also rans,they will be better in 24 especially once Wayne gets them to gel...The other thing I will say is defense wins you the game,just as Madge had them learning to defend with the old 5 hit ups and a bomb which many teams use,he didnt get a chance to put his attack in play because he was sacked...Sheens has the advantage of Madges forsight...
Its always easy to kick a man when he is down,I give Madge much credit because I only played the game and copped heaps,he coaches an NRL team and held his head high by winning a premiership in both hemispheres,more than I could ever hope to do...weak keyboard warriors always bag people because they remain anomynous,myself on the other hand welcome an invitation face to face to discuss anything football related...Im no angel but I have God and his teachings on my side...we are all human beings given every chance to make life what we want it to be.,,
I dont want a life I have to live ...I want a life worth living...love to all enjoy 2023 season ..

I think we should stop talking about Madge tbh… the Madge era is over he done a lot of good things for this club but did a lot of bad as well, either way a promising start today & can’t bloody wait for the season to start yewwwww lessgoooo 🟠⚪️⚫️

It’s only a trial, I’ll celebrate when the real games start! Nothing wrong with backing yourself, which I do…
They flew Nofa to NZ last week, generally means the coaching team think a lot of him!
You guys are dreaming if u think otherwise.
Staines went ok but hardly a standout! He’s there for injury and if form drops, which is good to have. As it stand’s tupou next cab then stains that’s forth down the list. That’s the facts.

I'm not a nofo fan but he makes the 17 for round 1 for sure

Enjoy supporting Canberra if you love Madge so much. He had 4 years and we got worse every year. That ain't the cap

Im with you Jedi,he has that Lee confidence about him,which should never come into play...while he is a good winger he is also stopping the development of a fine young player that should be on Noffas wing...unfortunately nepotism and money speak many languages...if Sheens has the balls and isnt in the admin pocket,he should drop Noffa if he doesnt perform first up....no ifs or buts...

Nope, Wests tigers in history have very rarely ever had the cavalry, yet in all that time I don't think I've seen a more pathetic side in both attack and defense than under Maguire.

Camel dont show your ignorance please,Madge had many faults as do other coaches,he had the smarts to realise we needed quality in the forwards so he recruited Api and Papi,cry all you like and jump on the haters band waggon...he knew our weaknesses and tried to do something about it...no more no less...

so where do we sit compared to other teams performance at the trial. some teams full of stars. some full of rookies

I think we are definately the developement team Sheens talks about,the 5 year plan will give us plenty of rewards over the next few seasons,only if these young guys learn,develope and stick with the club...

we were 9th under him not 15 and 16

Who cares he had Benji,Farah and the other club suck holes...Madge had Clearys pension fund that hardly played and got paid....if you want to compare have something decent to compare the 2 coaches with,otherwise your garbage arguement is null and void...notice the boys club up in the coaches box,all over Sheens....yet Farah and Benji ridiculed Taylor and Potter....boys club alive and well I see...

And coincidentally didn't get signed until after Sheens arrived. Not saying Madge had nothing to do with them signing but in the 3 years he had before Sheens arrived he couldn't get anyone decent to come

Pretty hard with no money like the Roosters etc....

thanks Ivan. madge wasn't as good as getting players off the books as Sheens, but he did get some to commit. sheens did well to get ice to honor the contract given we dumped madge. other thread mate they dont contribute too 3.2.1
