A crucial period for Madge...

There's something about our team and I've felt like it for so long, I always think to myself "I hope the boys can handle it out there this week" like we are so far behind most teams. It's hard to explain, but I always feel this way and I feel like we are an old school team that work regular day jobs during the week and only play on the weekend. I have to remind myself that our team is made up of professional athletes and they should be equal to the opponent and up to the task. Just a mindset thing as a supporter I guess. Anyway, hopefully Madge can fix things over the next couple of years.

Out of all the players dropped....it still beggars belief that Mbye has come through it all unscathed....

He gave a penalty and a seven tackle set away directly leading to Knights' first try.

It seems they try to find a position for him every week.....he'll be playing prop next week.

With our injuries to Walters and Grant, sure as eggs he will be first picked next week....but he seems to be getting worse

All of our backs are getting worse.

lol who? Talau keeps getting better. Nofa best footy in years. Joey looks the exact same as he did last year. Left wing there’s been a heap of different guys Talau excelled but others haven’t. Mbye just as good as last year which isn’t very good.

Lol Brooks, Reynolds, Mbye, Jennings are all much worse. Joey Leilua is not the player he was at Canberra. Nofo is having a good season relative to his previous disasters. Talau has never played first grade so how can we say he’s playing better? Madge might be a good forwards coach but you can’t say the same for the backs.

Brooks also had his best season under Madge? Has Reynolds really been worse, I thought he’s looked pretty good for us this season. Jennings was never good unless he was playing outside future immortal Greg Inglis. Statistically Mbye is doing better than last season in the centres compared to being at fullback. Talau looks better in first grade than he did in first grade. I agree Madge is more a forwards coach than a backs coach but there’s no truth in saying ALL our backs are going backwards when majority of them are just as good or going better.

Mate that is utter rubbish. Brooks, Reynolds and Benji are in the worst forms of their career. Brooks best year was 2018. Mbye was fantastic in 2018 but has declined constantly ever since. Jennings may not have been great but he was a hell of a lot better than he has been with us.

Our backs have regressed significantly under him. Blind Freddie could see that.

Reynolds has been injured for years and has probably been our best half this season, to say he’s in the worst form of his career is just crap ? Brooks is definitely in a slump no argument there. Benji played on a year too long and age has caught up to him, that’s not really on the coach although they should’ve told him to retire. If you watch Jennings he’s never been any better than what he is here. Solid defender, okay under the high ball and can fall over the line and score, gonna look good in any good team and will struggle in a bad team.

You’re really clutching at straws to defend Madge mate.

And you’re making up rubbish to make him look bad. You’re ignoring the good and only pointing out the bad. If brooks can play career best footy under Madge one year then struggle the next, that’s on Brooks.

Some of our outside backs certainly haven’t improved but you saying EVERY outside back is getting worse is a huge exaggeration intentionally trying to make it seem worse than it is.

Our backs are regressing, I don't see that as a strength of Madge's coaching. I really believe Brooks is being told to run too much and it has made his game one dimensional.

Some are and some are improving. Same as the forwards that’s footy no coach is improving every single player

I really only see Nofa improving, its hard to judge Talau as there is not previous 1st grade experience to compare with. I just think Madge is a more forwards orientated coach and we need to get him some help with the backs

One back is playing better, the rest have all gotten worse. For some reason you can’t criticise him for anything. You find excuses for everything ?

Reynolds, Talau, Nofa all improved. Despite the hate on Mbye, I would argue he’s doing better than last season too. That’s 4 lad. I can criticise Madge but I can also see that he won’t bring intent results and there’s no coach in the world fixing us in less than three years. I’m happy to give him time is all.

Lad? Lol ?

If you think Reynolds and Mbye have improved then there’s no point talking to you about it as you’re deluded.

When are you comparing Reynolds to? 2014? I’m comparing him to his time here. He’s playing his best footy for us since being at the club. Mbyes best footy was 2018, 2019 he was average, this year he’s clearly not a good player but he’s assisting and scoring more tries and his defence on that edge has been very good

Benji played on a year too long and age has caught up to him, that’s not really on the coach although they should’ve told him to retire. If you watch Jennings he’s never been any better than what he is here. Solid defender, okay under the high ball and can fall over the line and score, gonna look good in any good team and will struggle in a bad team.

You’re really clutching at straws to defend Madge mate.

And you’re making up rubbish to make him look bad. You’re ignoring the good and only pointing out the bad. If brooks can play career best footy under Madge one year then struggle the next, that’s on Brooks.

Some of our outside backs certainly haven’t improved but you saying EVERY outside back is getting worse is a huge exaggeration intentionally trying to make it seem worse than it is.

Our backs are regressing, I don't see that as a strength of Madge's coaching. I really believe Brooks is being told to run too much and it has made his game one dimensional.

Some are and some are improving. Same as the forwards that’s footy no coach is improving every single player

I really only see Nofa improving, its hard to judge Talau as there is not previous 1st grade experience to compare with. I just think Madge is a more forwards orientated coach and we need to get him some help with the backs

I agree he is better with the forwards. I also think our halves not performing directly influences our outside backs and they are the major issue. We need a good halves coach

Spot on mate, I was actually just discussing this exact issue a moment ago. A strong halves coach as an assistant to work with out backs would be ideal mate. I thinks we need someone fulltime, not an consultant. Maybe the role they had planned for Daley would have made a difference.

Out of all the players dropped....it still beggars belief that Mbye has come through it all unscathed....

He gave a penalty and a seven tackle set away directly leading to Knights' first try.

It seems they try to find a position for him every week.....he'll be playing prop next week.

With our injuries to Walters and Grant, sure as eggs he will be first picked next week....but he seems to be getting worse

All of our backs are getting worse.

lol who? Talau keeps getting better. Nofa best footy in years. Joey looks the exact same as he did last year. Left wing there’s been a heap of different guys Talau excelled but others haven’t. Mbye just as good as last year which isn’t very good.

Lol Brooks, Reynolds, Mbye, Jennings are all much worse. Joey Leilua is not the player he was at Canberra. Nofo is having a good season relative to his previous disasters. Talau has never played first grade so how can we say he’s playing better? Madge might be a good forwards coach but you can’t say the same for the backs.

Brooks also had his best season under Madge? Has Reynolds really been worse, I thought he’s looked pretty good for us this season. Jennings was never good unless he was playing outside future immortal Greg Inglis. Statistically Mbye is doing better than last season in the centres compared to being at fullback. Talau looks better in first grade than he did in first grade. I agree Madge is more a forwards coach than a backs coach but there’s no truth in saying ALL our backs are going backwards when majority of them are just as good or going better.

Mate that is utter rubbish. Brooks, Reynolds and Benji are in the worst forms of their career. Brooks best year was 2018. Mbye was fantastic in 2018 but has declined constantly ever since. Jennings may not have been great but he was a hell of a lot better than he has been with us.

One back is playing better, the rest have all gotten worse. For some reason you can’t criticise him for anything. You find excuses for everything ?

Reynolds, Talau, Nofa all improved. Despite the hate on Mbye, I would argue he’s doing better than last season too. That’s 4 lad. I can criticise Madge but I can also see that he won’t bring intent results and there’s no coach in the world fixing us in less than three years. I’m happy to give him time is all.

Lad? Lol ?

If you think Reynolds and Mbye have improved then there’s no point talking to you about it as you’re deluded.

When are you comparing Reynolds to? 2014? I’m comparing him to his time here. He’s playing his best footy for us since being at the club. Mbyes best footy was 2018, 2019 he was average, this year he’s clearly not a good player but he’s assisting and scoring more tries and his defence on that edge has been very good

Reynolds is not playing good football and honestly Mbye's career seems to be in freefall at the moment.

Reynolds hasn’t played good football since he’s arrived but I feel he’s looked particularly bad this year.

Out of all the players dropped....it still beggars belief that Mbye has come through it all unscathed....

He gave a penalty and a seven tackle set away directly leading to Knights' first try.

It seems they try to find a position for him every week.....he'll be playing prop next week.

With our injuries to Walters and Grant, sure as eggs he will be first picked next week....but he seems to be getting worse

All of our backs are getting worse.

lol who? Talau keeps getting better. Nofa best footy in years. Joey looks the exact same as he did last year. Left wing there’s been a heap of different guys Talau excelled but others haven’t. Mbye just as good as last year which isn’t very good.

Lol Brooks, Reynolds, Mbye, Jennings are all much worse. Joey Leilua is not the player he was at Canberra. Nofo is having a good season relative to his previous disasters. Talau has never played first grade so how can we say he’s playing better? Madge might be a good forwards coach but you can’t say the same for the backs.

Brooks also had his best season under Madge? Has Reynolds really been worse, I thought he’s looked pretty good for us this season. Jennings was never good unless he was playing outside future immortal Greg Inglis. Statistically Mbye is doing better than last season in the centres compared to being at fullback. Talau looks better in first grade than he did in first grade. I agree Madge is more a forwards coach than a backs coach but there’s no truth in saying ALL our backs are going backwards when majority of them are just as good or going better.

Mate that is utter rubbish. Brooks, Reynolds and Benji are in the worst forms of their career. Brooks best year was 2018. Mbye was fantastic in 2018 but has declined constantly ever since. Jennings may not have been great but he was a hell of a lot better than he has been with us.

Our backs have regressed significantly under him. Blind Freddie could see that.

Reynolds has been injured for years and has probably been our best half this season, to say he’s in the worst form of his career is just crap ? Brooks is definitely in a slump no argument there. Benji played on a year too long and age has caught up to him, that’s not really on the coach although they should’ve told him to retire. If you watch Jennings he’s never been any better than what he is here. Solid defender, okay under the high ball and can fall over the line and score, gonna look good in any good team and will struggle in a bad team.

You’re really clutching at straws to defend Madge mate.

And you’re making up rubbish to make him look bad. You’re ignoring the good and only pointing out the bad. If brooks can play career best footy under Madge one year then struggle the next, that’s on Brooks.

Some of our outside backs certainly haven’t improved but you saying EVERY outside back is getting worse is a huge exaggeration intentionally trying to make it seem worse than it is.

One back is playing better, the rest have all gotten worse. For some reason you can’t criticise him for anything. You find excuses for everything ?

Reynolds, Talau, Nofa all improved. Despite the hate on Mbye, I would argue he’s doing better than last season too. That’s 4 lad. I can criticise Madge but I can also see that he won’t bring intent results and there’s no coach in the world fixing us in less than three years. I’m happy to give him time is all.

Lad? Lol ?

If you think Reynolds and Mbye have improved then there’s no point talking to you about it as you’re deluded.

When are you comparing Reynolds to? 2014? I’m comparing him to his time here. He’s playing his best footy for us since being at the club. Mbyes best footy was 2018, 2019 he was average, this year he’s clearly not a good player but he’s assisting and scoring more tries and his defence on that edge has been very good

So you’re now agreeing Mbye has been worse since Madge came? That’s good.

Reynolds hasn’t played good football since he’s arrived but I feel he’s looked particularly bad this year.

Mbye did well in 2018. Poor in 2019. A bit better again this year. He’s not exactly a great player though but he’s had his ups and downs.

I thought Reynolds has been solid. We’ve missed him out there lately he certainly helps with our energy and intensity.

Mbye was close to our best when he came over in 2018. He looked like he would be a good signing.

Reynolds is hopeless.

That's really all he has though energy, we need more from our halves

At the moment energy is better than what brooks and Benji are offering up. I’d put him Brooks in the halves next week they did better than any other halves combo.

Reynolds is hopeless.

Then in 2019 he forgot how to catch a footy. He’s a good fullback but his height and hands let him down, his passing is outstanding and defence solid. Maybe it was Madge or maybe his confidence due to injury but he never found that form again.
