Completely unacceptable: ramifications

[pawsandclaws1]

I dont understand how sacking Madge will do anything? He is a proven winner with the right cattle. How many of our current squad would make the starting team in any of the top 8 sides? Hardly any if any. Here in lies the problem.

For years WT have only ever attracted has-beens and the odd plodder. Unfortunately we are not yet to see any youth come through that are quality 1st grade material. I really believe WT are doomed, and as an entity, cannot dig themselves out of the hole the club is in. Relocation offers the only hope as I do not think we will survive too much longer whilst praying and witing for the next crop of superstar juniors come through.

Would Flanagan/Morris & Co turn the career of James Roberts around? Could they make Garner a superstar? Could they get the best out of Moses & Brooks? I can't see it unfortunately. The problem is 100% the players. This I'm certain of.

We have very little speed, players that cannot read defence and we are rudderless in attack. No coach in the NRL (including Bellamy) could fix what we disg out on the field week in week out.

We've gone backwards under Maguire. Many of the squad you've described are his selections.

Correct, but who else can he use? We have very little depth in the club.

Full of average players at best. Why do you think most of our plodders keep their position every week? There sin't anyone pushing to take their place.

Reserve grade is running 2nd, but I actually think that is part of the problem, a lot of players too good for reserve grade but not good enough for 1sts

You definately have a point.

 

[Tigerbuck63]

I turned it off after 30 minutes...

Credit due where it's deserved, Melbourne are very, VERY good

I am still watching and, you know what Kul, Melb have not been 'that' good tonight. It is just a normal game / training drill.

Yes, great side...but they have barely raised a sweat.

This is entirely on us.

Our edge D is Z grade...Madge has had 2.5 years to get the edge D fixed, and has failed miserably.

We need more than rhetoric and speeches. They have their place and time, but we need a lot more.

We need a real coaching team, smart assistants, and basic skills and patterns.

This is just beyond acceptable. Anyone who accepts it at this point is part of the cultural problem we have. At any serious club that first half would have massive ramifications. Let's see what we do.

so in all honesty who would we get? who would want to do it?

I would do it for what Madge would be on must be between 600k to 900k per season?

The reserve grade coach seems to be going well and I am sure that Morris or Flanagan could both do a better job than madge.

You can't put a rookie coach into this mess, Morris is close enough to a rookie.

Being passive is not a structure it’s a personal decision to avoid your job. Guarantee they didn’t practice running away from contact throughout the week.

We have no heart as well, disagree Madge has to go after the clean out and bring in a coach that can coach players in the modern era.

Not that I think it would happen but one of the few ways out would be to sign a minimum of two quality signings at once. Brandon Smith and Dale Finucane for example. This would help.

I remember when Wests signed Warren Ryan and he brought Langmack, Gillespie, Thomas and Farrar with him. Overnight we were a semi final side and did make the semis that year. 1991

100% correct. Both left nothing in the tank week in week out.
