Hopefully they sack Madge, and we can get that interim coach pump most teams enjoy!

tell me the awards he won in a full competition?

99 wasnt even a full compeition win... im too drunk to even argue here, though elts pick this up tomorrow/today... 2003 was the dawn of the Bellamy era. Real studs dont evaporate for a couple of yrs.

Its hard to quantify, but our lack of success has less to do with effort, and more to do with the minute aspects of the game. Case point is Farrah. Quality player, never doubting his will, nor effort, though he was consistently playing us too skinny ( we ran too many props per set, tight to the...

they say, "those that cannot play, can coach." If so, Noddy may be capable. Noddy was a gun, in the same frame as Brooks is a gun.... Plenty of talk of his ability, crumbled on the big stage, and never the man to elevate the team even though playing in the halves. Wasnt useless, just wasnt the...

I was a Madge fan, I would have preferred we stuck with him and weeded out the pansies instead... I have read on here how we have lacked an identity, truth is, we have one. We have put alot of effort into building it over the last 15 yrs.... "when the going gets tough, call someone else!"...

While I agree, Blore is a better player than Kelma, for the longest time I have asserted that the top teams dont attack via their props, they attack via their second rowers. 80 mins of Blore wont lift a trophy. It was to our detriment in the Farah years, that as good as he was, he played...

Anyone who thinks Talau, who is obviously in favour (sarcasm), is ahead of Naden, Doeuihi, or even Toa, needs to find an inpatient rehab clinic ASAP! Cannot even beat a broken JTJ into the team. Have nothing against him, but its an obvious pecking order issue. Much the same as Liddle... if he...

I think Nuffa and Talau need to go well before Brooks. Would even go as far to say we have mass pollution of our 30, with players who will never make it, and block by virtue money which could be used to attract upcoming talent. We see this year after yr, though especially now, with injuries, how...

AD.... I see him in the mould of say Wade Graham or Jamie Lyons. Quality players, halves when necessary, and consumate professionals when called upon there, yet really shine as playmakers in out of the box positions... I dont know if it is centre, or lock, maybe even backrow, but I dont think...

Tamou is like Brooks.... odd parallel, though hear me out. Brooks cannot guide a team, in the same vein Tamou isnt a leader in the out-right sense. Neither statement takes away from their quality. Tamou cannot lead from the standpoint that he cannot drive the culture alone, but bet your...

his game, by just about all metrics, has regressed. thats a shame... enjoyed being able to defend a kick in the air.

you noticed how many games the players that replaced him have in their careers... there isnt an exponential difference in the experience/porous defence ratio as you would expect there to be. Pls explain his salary vs. efficacy, if you disagree. Rookies are within appreciable margins on minimum...

I will put it this way.... Madden could have 500 games, but if he spent them all with Brooks at 7, then i doubt he would do much better than Brooks did when Brooks was playing 7... You hate Brooks as much as Demps love a player who smells like Toum... appreciate you both, lol.

Nuffa has spent the best part of a decade here, making the same crayon eating reads in defence, and hasnt found one of the many centres he has been paired with, to work with to improve the structure on that side. Biggest change he has made hasnt been letting less try's in, but managing to score...

standards must be low over there, if BJ is considered a professional...

We thought Bunji couldnt kick for touch...

Neither is anything without Hastings... Madden is better value, though isnt better than Brooks

running it home would have been good for weak minds to think they boosted morale and did well... start of the second half give them a reality check and the win. Im happy we didnt run all over them but still got the bickies, allows a more honest video session

I would be, in different colours... 12 free points is a gimme
