Some will recall Ben Ikin at the start of the year was quite scathing in calling us a bottom 4 roster. Most on here disagreed but I think it’s fair to say we finished 13th and that’s about where we are. Par for the course based on our roster.

But let’s waste more resources and time on a review and not focus on the elephant. The fact we can’t actually improve the roster with the current people at the helm.
 
And the fact the guys doing the review are the ones who should be reviewed is just a joke. Should have been independent but they are all in self-preservation mode now. Will be more of the same next year.

Who do you blame for being unable to improve the roster?
 
So if we had a bottom 4 roster which i agreed with at the start of the year and we finiahed bottom 4 -you could say Madge didnt under achieve and did what anyone did with the roster.

It seems the Club also has concerns about Maguire. I support the club not Maguire. I want our club to improve and if that means sacking Maguire I have no issue with it. If it had been done two games into this season we may not be in this position now.

We all want our club to improve,however not all of us see the problem as the coach but more the lack of quality in the squad.Dont even get me started on the pampered princesses who want to get paid big money and not earn it on the field.We have a very poor culture and have done since the merger Madge is trying to change it and is meeting resistance from some weak players who just want to take and not give in return.
As is stands this review is designed to get a scapegoat and NOT address the true issues at the club

Again I support the Club, not Maguire. Maguire in three years has taken our side backwards. Maguire talks a big game but has delivered very little.

I won't denigrate our playing group by calling them weak or princesses. I'll look forward to a new coach working with them in a positive manner and providing guidance and real leadership.

I honestly doubt it and the other thing with Bennett is he dismantles clubs when he leaves as Dragons Knights Broncos have already found out and Souffs will next year.We are going through a phase of rebuilding (as always) so we need a builder at our club and because of all the poor decisions made in the past we have a low base to build off.Madge is doing that but it is a long painfull journey,it is a long term solution but one we need.Short term solutions have failed every time at our club

I see an opportunity for the right coach to take this group forward onto better results. To do so, I would like a new coach to have the following attributes -

a noted person manager
very good interpersonal skills
great comms skills
a strategic approach
an ability to sum up the strengths of the squad
an ability to devise game plans around those strengths
a cuddle or fatherly talk for those players who need it

Who knows, but I know where we would be when he left ! Like every other club he has coached at, on the very bottom for years because he sets up nothing and does no future work.

Ask Brisbane (x2), St George, Newcastle - and the rabbits might save themselves because they saw the writing on the wall

Such a myth.

So it Bennett’s fault that Siebold drove the Broncos into the ground after he left?
