2019 Coaching saga -Thread

Well done to Tigers management the club is heading in the right direction. They had to make this choice Bennett is too much of a risk both in terms of waiting a year and his longevity. Madge is well loved by players and being NZ coach is a major advantage. He will have intimate knowledge of young kiwis coming through the ranks.

I can’t stress how big of an upgrade this is over Cleary. It’s a big win for WT.

Shame…

Yes I think Bennett would have been a better choice.
Hope Maguire does the job required. Not an upgrade ….. only in my opinion.
Very happy about Brooks however.
At least it will be settled now.

Yep with you on all counts there. Gotta give Madge a chance I suppose, but it sucks to miss out on a coach like Bennett- so close, yet so far.

Not an upgrade? Maguire has won two premierships and has around a 58-60% winning record. Way better than Clearly. Definite upgrade. Prob get him for 600k compared to Bennett's 1 mill a season. Yes Bennett would be better but not by much.

I can see it now…Maguire (as its stated above) will (hopefully) sign
a 4 year contract with Wests Tigers. Cleary will be off to panthers.
These two moves will settle all this crap talk about the coaching fiasco between
Wests Tigers and Panthers.
But , what it will do , is create a new fiasco between the Broncos and Souths.

I reckon Souths and Broncos coaches will swap after next season.

Seibold will stay. Souths don’t want Wayne.
Furner will take over if Seibold leaves.

THE ONLY THING I SEE WRONG WITH MAGUIRE, is i dont see him bringing any players our way, hes only coached at souths and i cant see any of them coming are way. so it looks like we have to start all over again, it just never ends.

i agree with what youre saying , but on the same token look at what bennet did to newcastle.
not sure we can afford something like that to happen to us.
thats why id rather go with maguire. we have 2 more spots to fill in the top 30 , here's hoping
they make two right choices.

Any chance he can bring Rapana with him.. I see he's off contract end of next year.. Wishful thinking on my behalf perhaps :laughing:

I dont hate any of them. Slimey fart is another matter.

Me neither! The hate word gets bandied around a lot by bitter souls. I’d be happy if Ivan saw out his contract with us then moved onto Penrith in 2021\. I’m sure he’s professional enough to do the job that’s in front of him. Equally as happy to have Bennett as a replacement coach if Cleary wants to move on now.

There’s way worse things going on in the world to be pissed off about than coaches or players wanting to change NRL teams.

Let it go Flip. You’ve chased me around for 12 months chastising me for my opinion on this. I didn’t bring them up to have another rant about them, I was using them as an example as to why I can understand the bitterness towards Cleary. I don’t feel the same, but I know sometimes supporters are irrational. That’s what passion drives you to sometimes.

Firstly it’s you that needs to let it go! You’re the one who keeps bringing them up every chance you get - much like that fellow that somehow used to bring Robbie Farah into just about every comment he made.

Secondly what the hell is Flip? Are you swearing at me nicely? Using the alternative word for the swear word beginning with F?

Thirdly yes passion does make people irrational at times. Like I said there are far more important things in life to get mad over.

Ha - i get the feeling that some on here think you have changed your user name Spud. It came up.a while ago and I assumed they knew something I didnt
Flippedy" clocked off a while ago - hence the Flip reference.

No, I’m calling you by your old username. Anyway, I’m sorry that my opinions get under your skin. As you said, there’s a lot more important things in life than to get worked up over silly old me.

You both need to give it a rest.
 
I’d love Bennett, but Maguire will do just fine. A premiership winning coach is never anything to sneeze at.
 
Prefer Bennett but understand why we won’t budge on a 2019 start…
Madge is an upgrade on Cleary anyways."as the Kiwi coach he will attract kiwis to our club
