It's the Halfback
It's the Coach
It's the New / Old Coach
It's the CEO and the Chair
You'd reckon more here might start to get the picture with the joint?
If it wasn't for once in a lifetime talent, this joint would have been a Basket Case for 25 Seasons
- Instead of just 22

So no answer of substance?
FTR I was not a Madge fanboy, and wasn’t opposed to removing him, however the transition and subsequent work done by those who replaced him has resulted in a likely 3 spoons on the trot.
It seems foolish to lump him with the blame.
Let’s face it, they’ve all sucked. I doubt there is a coach on earth who could turn this mob around, maybe Flanagan. In recent years Cleary was the closest and we all know how that ended.

I’m happy to bag his subsequent replacements also if you like …. I have no attachment to them either based on their results ..
I hated Sheens the first time he was here by the end of his initial tenure and wasn’t surprised he got canned within one year second time around …the game had passed him by a decade before …everyone knew it except the two blokes here running the show ..
Benji will follow him out the door by the middle of next year if he starts the season poorly like the last few years … not the first time I have said that this year

It’s what you get when you force marry the worst club in the competition with one that was pretty bad as well.
Shit + shit does not equal chocolate ice cream.
This club needs to be sold to private ownership.

They had once in a lifetime talent and won a premiership… but they could still only make three semi final campaigns… what a waste … should have won it in 2010
Isn't that what I just said?
Without that talent - there wouldn't be a Grand final win and 2010 would be the least of our problems.

yeah … I’m agreeing with you …. thought that was obvious ..
It’s a joke they could only make 3 semi finals with that talented team … which was capable of winning a grand final

We are already controlled by private interests aren’t we?

The hubris from admin after 05 sunk any chances of continued success.
We were starting a dynasty remember? With Bryce and Fulton and Halatau and Heighington etc….great squaddies but not headline superstars.

It took him 3 years to finally convince a decent player to sign, he got two! He must have been rubbing his hands together with delight and then chopped!!!
No I gave him my member number, but still no answer.

no …not superstars … but still competent players …and had the likes of Farah, Hodgson, Richards and later Gareth Ellis who were rep level players …
Benji was in and out of the team with injuries and Scott Prince moving on quickly didn’t help …but they still should have had more than three semi final appearances ….
Is Api as good as prime Farah - No
Is Luai as good as prime Scott Prince - No
Is Galvin as good as Benji - No
Is Bula as good as Hodgson - No

They lost proper good players in Prince and Laffranchi and failed to replace them with quality of an equal standard.

I’m without a response of any kind as well.
He might have given up on us members.
If he’s unwell, or expressly busy,maybe his personal assistant could write a kindly note and explain.
That’s how I would approach it as messiah ceo. You gotta give to the rank and file.
He held out to us that we would be consulted and our views considered.
So he needs to back up.
