‘It’s the truth’: compelling new WT doco

[GCfan]

The more I watch fox at the moment, the more it looks like this doco is designed to change public opinion (including that of other clubs players) of Madge. It feels like the club has almost said to Fox “ yeah we will agree to you guys doing the doco but you’ve got to talk up Madge at every opportunity”. I’ve seen at least three different segments on NRL360 where they’ve discussed the doco with people in the game and the flavour has always been about how much Madge cares for the club and his players and how hard he works. Maybe this is an attempt to try and change perceptions and remove the barriers of people coming to the club along with sending a message in general that we’re not sacking this guy, he’s not the problem?

Maybe that's because it's true. Do you think Madge is bunging on an act for the cameras?

Who knows if he is or he isn’t but my thoughts are he’s being genuine.

I wasn’t going to watch it, but some interesting reviews on here, so I did watch it, I thought it was OK, could of glossed over the losses a bit quicker 😅, but I do agree, it did put a different light on Madge, in a good way imo, that can’t be a bad thing?

It just goes to show what we all know that the playing group is mentally fragile.. no amount of coaching can in-still that into individuals..

No matter how talented or skilful… Mentality comes from within.. no words can unlock it.. you can become resilient but only do it yourself.

It’s a generational thing IMO.. everyone gets a ribbon..

I’m not saying that isn’t true … Because it clearly is , but if it’s a generational thing , why is it only affecting Places like the tigers . The storm , they don’t recruit the best players all the time , like Nico Hynes is a prime example of this . He just wanted it more . Do we search for the exceptions not the rule ? If a whole generation are fragile , how do you find resilience ? Do we just recruit a little lower on the natural talent but A plus on the mental aptitude ?

This has to be What Adam Hartigan, Kimmorley , Tim Sheens and Madge would be having conversations about .
**For me , I’d look to America . Thier aptitude testing is another level . And the prima Donna egos floating around the NRL , are nothing compared to an NFL locker room . “The Patriots way” has to be something that’s looked into , as they do exactly what the storm do . Identify talented players , but ones with a real hard edge .**
How they do that , I have NO idea . But if we could tap into that knowledge stream , even just a little bit , it would go a long way to get us out this mess I reckon .

As a Patriots fan ive been talking about mentality on this forum for a number of years now.

Its an art to recruit mentality over pure talent. You still need talent but mentality is what wins championships.

We have about 5 players out of our 30 who may have it, the rest are lacking.

As Bill Belichick is quoted saying

“Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling” .

Every recruit should be looked at in this light.

TPJ for instance is not the right type of player. he has the talent so he has the floor. Trouble is it is widely regarded that he hasnt achieved his ceiling. he never will if he doesnt have the character.

Did Curtis Scott remind you of someone?
Not to be out of left field. Just in regards to a player at the Patriots.
Did he seem recruited or scouted outside of their usual ethos?


Who are you referring to?

My takeaway is we’ve got a team filled with too many numfies.

Looking forward to how Madge handles the Tommy tribute loss. The one game of the year we should have won.

Maybe I’m missing the point but my take was the following.

* Madge is focussed on belief, while that is great and I do think every player needs more work around sports psychology, I would have liked to come away from the first episode thinking he is master tactician rather than a nice guy.

* I found the focus on Pasco interesting, it made me think this is his strategy/idea.

* Mbye interviewed very well, Tamou looked somewhat awkward.

Something about the whole thing just felt a bit off, why the Tigers? As others have said, I think it might be a sales pitch.

Not sure I would have bothered watching if not for being a supporter of the club.

We have a huge following I believe, so maybe that’s why.

Any way to watch it without Kayo? Something came up when it aired so couldn't watch it.

 

[Madge]

Any way to watch it without Kayo?

Have you given the free 2 week trial a go?

I have. My account is blocked from Kayo so it's not an option for me.

If you have anyone else close to you that might be willing to let you use their details (including bank), that is an option - get the two week trial towards the end of the doco series and you can watch it all. Other than that I'm not too sure. Apologies.

Pascoe wears this or im out

Pascoe's has already done this look .....

I did hear that he had to do a lot of hard work and long hours turning the clubs finances around but I had no idea… now that is dedication, and a never say no attitude my hats off to you Justin ..?
