I understand that this is all from an edited documentary but:
The playing group sits there like losing is a foregone conclusion and they are just waiting to get through the game, get yelled at, and get out of there. Just meek and soft. Very few seem to give a damn.
Madge is trying to get them up for a game but 1 bloke trying to fire up an entire team is going to be very hard. They desperately need a few hard players to buy in, lead from within the team, and for the staff to act like they care.
When people ask what is a Wests Tiger player- it is Luke Brooks. Very talented but very meek with no self-belief. I am hoping that Madge can be the hard coach and Sheens can be Uncle Tim when they need a cuddle.

This is exactly how I feel about the club. After Madge does a big rev up the air just goes out of the room, that’s where a Finucane just has to say something basic like “are we up for this boys” we just lack that killer in the group!


Or he changes the method of delivery. Seriously, how many games have we come out aggressive after a half time rev up like that..also have many games have we started aggressively ..my count is zero

In my experience the motivation comes from the group more-so than words the coach has to say. I honestly don’t think that many players really listen to the sprays or the alternative. You play for a coach you like but playing for the guy next to you is massive.

IMO this is why Penrith are having recent success. Yes Cleary walked into a club full of talent but he’s got them playing for each other. Pack mentality and it shows in their “arrogance”. It’s why we had early success too with him…it’s almost as if him walking away broke whatever spirit we had left and why it’s so hard for us to pick up the pieces.

We have plenty of spirit. But it's in young guys coming through. Madge cops it constantly for lack of success, but it is coming. You can't magically turn a bunch of talented early twenties and teens into experienced hardcore and skillful late twenty 150+ gamers.
 
It was interesting to see madge talking to Brooks about looking inside then playing outside, he did that a lot in the Dragons game and it played a role in his form turning around
 
Man I love Farah. He was such a smart footballer and is so passionate. If majority of our current squad had his skill and toughness, we'd be there already.
