He will still probably get fired from Brisbane though. 3rd time fired. Great for big moments.
Agree we can’t go Daley again, but Flanno is no way an option. Our only real options are probably Madge and Ivan.
Cleary hinted he wants the job after his.penrith deal is done

Same thing happened with Bennett at Newcastle, success everywhere but there. I think Newcastle were having ownership issues at the time also, if I recall correctly.
Madge has been a success everywhere he’s gone because he’s had the best squad in the league . That’s the answer and nothing else . The moment he gets a team that has a dipping performance or quality he not only regresses to the mean , it well and truely below it . He’s the perfect coach for a team like the broncos looking for instant success to sustain a thoroughbreds group who invest millions , and expect instant success. For most teams who’s not have that type of resource he’s literally the worst hung thin you could bring into your club .
For whatever reason , as good of a bloke he is , he’s a cancer for long term team harmony , which is the key ingredient for long term success .

I could be wrong but I thought Daley had a two year contract.
Last year and this year

He also got Newy to a prelim final, which is often overlooked. Left them with a lot of guys who were cooked though when he left.

Strange as reading this I was thinking Gareth Ellis would have gone gangbusters in Origin!
Man I wish we could have landed James Graham, those two playing together would have been an extreme front row. ...
That said, dead set right. People say Wayne Bennett did not succeed at Newcastle. They were a spooner side when he came in and he took them to the Prelim final. Then Alex cracked his spine... That's a party pooper anywhere.
Wayne can build a side. Madge seems to have some performance tricks, the way the Donkeys have imploded shows those tricks have a limited life.

More then that he and the players didn't get paid for 4 months the NRL had to pay everyone in the club and the rot set in
