Madge

Maguire's onto the greatest rort in Rugby league since 1908.
You get signed to a contract then do your job so badly that you never come anywhere near completing the contract and collect a huge payout.
The bloke's an unrecognised genius!
Madge, Dessy and possibly Flanno (jury still out) appear to be dinosaur brains they just don't seem to be able to keep up with coaching evolution the way Bellyache and Bennett can.

Unfortunately, some soon will become extinct, but could they get a gig on Fox media Mmm I doubt it not enough charisma.
 
I’m gonna have stab here and say that the whole Ezra Mam thing has destabilised the team. They were playing pretty well before he came back in. I think some people might not be too happy with him being there. Just a hunch, no inside info whatsoever.

I’m not traditionally a Bronco hater. I would even go as far as saying I don’t mind them. However, I have lost a lot of respect for them this year after how they handled that situation and then the fact they sacked Taupau simply for liking a post. Piss weak and their priorities are way out of whack. Disgusting culture.
 
Broncos are in the same spot Souths were in pre-Bennett. Players hold the cards. Too much influence from certain players.

Roster needs blowing up. They would bounce back much quicker than people expect if they shed 2/3rds of the roster.
 
There was an article with quotes from the cheese about Madge basically saying that the players whining about Madge are probably the problem and not the coach
Not sure where I seen this but found it an interesting read from a player that had a problem with his methods

Personally, I think Broncos player group must have a culture problem. They are doing the same thing as last year, which indicates it's not the coach. Obviously they have a lot of talent but no one can seem to manage them effectively.

Their best chance of winning a comp again in the short term will be getting Bennet back for ONE year before he retires but I don't think it will ever happen as he has another two years with the rabbits. I see Brisbane being a similiar team to Souths with all these different types of personalities and ego's etc.

Wishful thinking but Hopefully Galvin has the same effect on the Dogs.

I think it's his personality that players can't identify with. I think you'll always find players that are happy to do the work, but apparently he is so intense about it on a persoal level, he struggles to connect with people.

Half the battle is the players wanting to play for you as an individual.
If you saw the Elijah Taylor video he posted he spoke exactly about this. It wasn't necessarily the players didn't want to work hard, it was the always on 24/7 extremely intense personality which was draining.

Yeah mate I think this is his biggest problem. I think players can lock in like he does for 2 or 3 games, then they need a mental break. I'd guess that's why he is very strong in his rep teams due to the short nature of exposure to his intensity.

He hasn't got his balance right at club level. I'm no coach, but at the base level, you are dealing with 30 human beings and you probably need to consider that in amongst your overall strategy.

I don't think it's priorities.

They wanted to keep Mam so found a reason to, and they wanted to get rid of Taupau so they found a reason to.

I don't care much that Mam is playing League, I'm just surprised at the leniency shown by the legal system. I can't believe his actions don't warrant a jail term.
 
right...
“Three, time efficiency. Let’s have a meeting for a meeting for a meeting. I’d get home from training and the kids don’t know who I am any more.”.

What on earth! Why would madge overmeeting his players... Explains his stint here.
Typical of mid management in alot of corporate organisations to be fair 😅😅

Yea, I honestly don't know...

Des clearly has the cattle to have done something. Although the Titans have always been a fairly down team since Cartright left them.

Madge is 100% a one trick pony. You look at Brizzy and go Reynolds + Haas + Mam + Hunt... OMG. ...

Flanno is weird. So weird, because maybe he is a supercoach and got to the finals. Or maybe Ricky got the defence going and Flanno just came right place right time? ?


It's clear though that Wayne, Bellamy and Ricky Stewy really know what they are doing and are supercoaches.... Ricky plays to a different plan to the others, he has worked out a spot in Canberra. Payten/Webster have something going on... Waiting for Siebold to implode...

I’d say Taupau got payed out his contract $
Otherwise in sure we would have heard a lot more.

That was one action. He reportedly left a ressies game at half time after he played his necessary time, and he failed to complete multiple fitness sessions during pre season. I’ll try and find the link where I heard it.
