2019 Coaching saga -Thread

[GNR4LIFE]

If that is the case it is a no brainer.

You tell Bennett to go jump. We dont need another coach who isnt fully committed to this club. He is to use a well worn phrase either on the bus or off the bus.

Sign Maguire and lets get on with it.

So we tell him to go jump because he wants to do something that everyone is crucifying Cleary for not doing. Honouring a contract. Makes sense.

I don’t see how there is an advantage in taking Madge over Bennett because we can get him a year earlier. 2019 is going to be a struggle regardless of whose coaching. We need to be big movers in the player market going into 2020\. Waiting for Bennett would not affect recruitment for 2020\. If Cleary goes, give the reigns to Hodgo for a year.

Agree again

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'd rather wait a year for Bennett for the same reasons. I don't think our squad is top 8 material in 2019 and having an interim coach will probably not affect us too much one way or another. But with Bennett known to be coming in 2020 I think our recruitment picks up enormously. But if it is Madge from 2019, it's not a bad second choice. In my opinion both men are a clear step up from Cleary as a coach and it's had to imagine either of them would show the lack of integrity our man has shown over the past couple of months.

I believe what he meant is that Maguire can start in 2019 but Bennett can only start in 2020\. So we have to decide to take Maguire now or wait for Wayno.

Yeh that's what I took from it too, we can't wait 12 months for Bennett, Cleary has crapped in our nest

Yes we can

It’s a tough one but I think I’d go with Maguire. I think we need to get on with things now.

It is tough but i think recruitment and the sponsorship etc would be better with Bennett though

Great choice for us though

Couldn't really argue with whatever the tiger's choose

Will be happy to go with Pascoe and Go

And he'd be mad to give up one last opportunity with those young broncos

No you tell him we need someone right now because we don't want to waste a year with a dead duck coach. If we do sign him for 2020 I hope they continue working hard to convince him to come early (knowing that job would be made a lot easier if the Broncos settle on Maguire as their future coach).

Agreed again. Bennett is showing the integrity Cleary so sadly lacks. We should praise him for that. If it's all true he's saying he's happy to come whern his contractual arrangements with Brisbane come to an end.

Plus if we struggle with Madge in ‘19, it could affect recruitment. If we were to struggle with Hodgo, who cares, opposition players know who Hodgo is warming the chair for. And another thing Bennett coming in 2020 does is leave the door open for TPJ. You never know.

Good post

Your right

There can'tbe too many IC's and MM's out there

Not out our way anyway

I think we've used all our grubs up

See this is the trouble in arguing a point because you want to argue the man.

How on this great earth is it in WESTS TIGERS interest if he honors his Broncos deal and looks after his fancy Broncos team.

Time to put ourselves first.

 

[Nucky_Thompson]

Maguire did him self a favour winning the NZ. I like that he will have a connection with NZ test as we have a connection to NZ it will also draw players to us.

We need a long term coach I'm starting to favour Maguire.

 

[innsaneink]

I dont think we can afford to fart around for a season waiting for whoever….we cant afford that ''luxury"
A lot can happen in a week in NRL let alone a year
Wed be getting a bloke whod be doing what many are saying Cleary couldnt do here - see out a final year with eyes elsewhere

Knowing our luck we’ll sign Wayne for 2020, he’ll win the premiership with Brisbane in 2019 and then decide to retire.

I’m not arguing the man, I’m arguing the flaw in the man’s argument. If he wants to honour his contract in 2019, let him. It won’t change our fortunes either way.

 

[TYGA]

TYGA could you please inform us of what the hell is going on or anyone because us tigers fans are fed up with whats been happening to our club and its getting really frustrating. If u do have anymore info could u let us know cos us fans are clueless as to whats going on because the club doent wants to inform its members of anything that's going on. Thanks and sorry if that came across as harsh. :sign:

I’ve been told Cleary will be gone this week and a new coach announced. Mate of mine is a player manager and a very good one requested the club to clear its position last week. They are after Wayne. I think they will settle with Madge but it’s just a guess.

He told me Teddy and Woods signed with the Dogs ages ago and I posted it some people thought I was bonkers but it came out to be true at the time but things change.

Cheers mate, but there are still some who beleive this is all a beat up, and Ivan will be here next year

I’ve long been a Cleary fan and if this scenario didn’t play out would have liked him to stay long term. It’s simply untenable under any circumstances. He has gone behind the board, CEO and GMs back. Trust is broken blind Freddy could see he has to be moved on.

 

[newtiger]

Benny 2020 make IC do 19 just to stuff Gus and Riff.

 

[JD Tiger]

Yeh that's what I took from it too, we can't wait 12 months for Bennett, Cleary has crapped in our nest

Yes we can

Cheers Tyga for the info, and tiger05premier, I agree mate.

Personally I would prefer Bennett, I think, but I know only a tiny bit (what i read in the biased press) about what's been going on. If the Board decide MaGuire, then good on them for making a gutsy call.

Gus can bugger off and has made an enemy in the Tigers for at least a full generation, Ivan has pretty much become an infamous laughing stock, and hopefully, just maybe… we can become a force worthy of the Wests Tigers proud joint history.

Looking forward to an announcement, and either way, (even if we go with Cleary for one year and sign Bennett for 2020,) I'll back Pascoe and Go as long as they stand up and show we will fight when other clubs try to step on us.

We just bend over again yeah?

As i keep having to say, Some people are just happy to finish 9th.

 

[Newtown]

Penrith are now sitting pretty. They sacked Griffen late in the season, installed a lame duck dummy coach for a couple of weeks and now have the coach they and their star player wanted. Ivan Cleary has struck the jackpot with a possible large redundancy payment and a long term very well paid coaching tenure.

Meanwhile Wests Tigers are at six and sevens looking urgently for a coach for 2019 and there is a likelihood that they will have to settle for an unproven rookie as the first grade coach.

NRL is a cruel game for clubs like Wests Tigers.

Benny 2020 make IC do 19 just to stuff Gus and Riff.

Thats exactly what im hoping for

Bending over for what? We’d be getting Bennett in a year, who would bring corporates, and instant credibility in the player market. Also leaves the door open for TPJ and any other off contract Broncos who might want to follow him. If we were to get all those things, I’d be quite happy to see our club bend over And I think plenty others would too.
