2019 Coaching saga -Thread

[AL The Tiger]

Looks like it’s time to change my username to Madge now…

Well since the bus has crashed I might need to retire too

Is it too far gone to remind everyone this is still just speculation until proven otherwise.
Oh should we just give in and go with the good vibes.

Wise words…I believe it when I see it on WTs.com

X2\. The coaching merry go round is just a mirage. It isn’t really happening lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Not enough lols.

I don't know if you ever understood in this thread that the point some people were making was not that there wasn't coaching changes on the horizon, rather that there isn't much point getting up in arms about it until something official was stated.

That's technically still true, although multiple media sources giving the same news 99% of the time means it's legitimate. That occurred for the first time just this afternoon.

 

[sheer64]

We really have some special kind of fans.

And what is wrong with special fans?

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Im all for bad mouthing the media, but if anyone still thinks this aint happening or we arent getting Maguire, may i suggest Netball

For some I think it’s just pride.

Yep, once Dean Ritchie gets on board you know it’s a sure thing?

I didn’t think we needed people’s permisison to “get up in arms” over the obvious situation that was unfolding. Thank you though for clarifying that for me. So today the speculation is legitimate , but previously when almost every organisation was running with Cleary wants out, madge or Bennett coming here, Seibold to souths…etc.. it was a problem for some. Makes alot of sense, thanks again for explaining when it’s okay to believe the speculation and when it isn’t.

Interesting one that.
I’d say our facilities are terrible, worse than manly.
Roster at manly would suit Madge more.

Don’t really get it.

 

[happy_tiger]

OK had a look at the transfers in and out under Maguire out Souths

2013
Lima
Teo
Goodwin
Beau Champion
T Burgess

2014
G Stewart
T Grant
C Walker

2015-16

N Brown
P Carter
D Cook
Sam back
D Nielsen

17
Farah
R Jennings
Rochow
Fuimaono
\
\
Lots have transferred in , not many have stayed bar Cook ,Jennings and Sammy Burgess

A good marker would be someone like Fuimaono , remains unsigned for 2019 …..

Wonder what Robbie Rochow /Farah thinks ............... ??

Did he sign McQueen?

Don't think so , must have signed the year before and left in 2015 for Titans

Madge probably let McQueen go, and Walker is still there

Wrong Walker 851

So we still don't know..what have people been babbling about…

So we still don't know..what have people been babbling about…

We know

We got the LCD

Lowest Common Denominator

Who we least wanted

Excited by the draw , brought back to earth with the coach , the life of a WT's supporter

This sort of explains where his head was at leading up to all the coaching movements. Saw the whole interview and was impressed - but Iike others I was sold on Cleary as well.

 

[Yossarian]

Good result for us
Potentially good result for Brisbane
Poor result for Souths

Last time we signed a premiership winning coach it worked out.

Bennett has had his day.

Seibold has had a great start to his career but it's a risk still.

I prefer McGuire for a host of reasons but your contention that Bennett has 'had his day' is a stereotypical response based on age. In 2018 that no longer applies. Bennett's strength is not his technical knowledge but his ability to connect and to form relationships with players and their families. This is particularly important with the Polynesian boys, based on their family values and the importance they place on faith. In addition Bennett would have forgotten more about the game than most coaches know. He may be post pension but he's a smart operator and there's not many of those in RL

No it's not a stereotypical response and your characterisation of my assessment as being based solely on age is wrong and frankly offensive. Couldn't care if he's 95\. I just think it's hard to stay on trend in coaching for approaching your 5th decade coaching first grade. I'm sure Brisbane have reached a similar conclusion..

 

[newtiger]

My new wish list Panthers fail to make the 8
Seibold a one hit wonder
Souths finish equal last with Parra and Manly

JT also turned down the job.

 

[DBK]

So are we going to make Penrith pay up or grab some of their young talent perhaps, or meekly drop our pants and let Gus take his liberties with us ? Unfortunately as a tigers fan I already know the answer.
If we don't get compensation the whole board should be sacked.

Best hope will be cash compensation , but Gus will talk his way out of it

God knows what we will do with the cash , plonk it all up on Winx to watch it break down ….....
