@ said:@ said:@ said: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..

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
I’m very happy with Madge. Won in England , won in Australia, what’s upsetting about hiring a dual premiership coach.

You'll see , modern day Brian Smith …....will destroy us long term

What is there to destroy? We are rock bottom already. Lost our best juniors, a coach sacked and one who jumped in quick succession & haven’t played finals for yonks.
Seriously some people just can’t be pleased.
Madge has an extremely positive CV and is coaching an international team that beat the Aussies let alone has worked with the refs as well. We are lucky to have someome with his depth of experience and winning qualities leading our team over a rookie coach.
Pascoe gets an a+ from me considering the circumstances.
@ said:Didn't even realise there was another forum page til I read a comment about it a week or so ago. So if anyone still doesn't feel confident about the possible signing of Maguire, I suggest you check out the Panthers forum re: their panicked thoughts on the Clearys. https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/threads/rumoured-and-confirmed-signings-part-4.455990/page-704
Also found the kennel(I think its called)and I thought we were a salty bunch over Teddy. But those guys sound absolutely vengeful about Mbye. Saw that a tiger fan named Tacky is a regular stirrer there too.
Must say I'm stoked we were even being mentioned with Bennett and Maguire, so to land Madge would be great, at least we'd be moving forward. Would be even better if we release some dead weight and sign another one or two quality players.

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.

A+ for the 5th best coach …..that will do me
So Teflon Pascoe avoids any flak , even though he was solely behind getting the coach that has set us back beyond where many claimed Taylor /Potter /Mayer left us
Did the club even seriously consider Toovey ....was he even spoken to .......
@ said:@ said: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
@ said:Test series between England and New Zealand finishes on the 11th of November. With our preseason starting on the 15th of November. Don't think madge will be there for day one of training. I'd say we would have his support staff in place for day one of preseason.
@ said:@ said:@ said:Disappointed about Bennett, but that was really only ever going to be a short term arrangement if it had come to fruition. Madge hopefully coaches us for a decade. Good pick up. Credit to Pascoe.
This is a very disappointing outcome. I have to say I expected more from our Board.
Really? What did you expect? If Moses won’t do come down from the mountain what the hell are supposed to do?
We got a best coach currently available to start in 2 weeks. Duh!!
