Really good to see the positive comments.
Looking forward to see him back it up again next week against some weaker competition

He looked more alive than some. Certainly didn't try and play second fiddle and in the right squad would have the making of a good 7.

Don’t rate the side. We will still struggle to make the 8.

If the plan is to look worse at the end of the year than we did in a trial then Madge has been a raging success.
Young talent needs guidance and direction that Madge can't provide.

Really good game, you guys are way understating his performance. Panthers were dominant and he still looked good despite a long layoff in only his second game. Only concern for me is he has little speed or size. But distribution, defense and kicking was well done.
He should be considered for one of the halves spots next year.
Even as others have suggested, perhaps try Brooks at hooker. Obviously only one good game by Madden, just should be an option. Something like doueihi at lock with Madden and Brooks in halves or Brooks at hooker with doueihi-madden in halves. Obviously, Hastings to consider as well, so that would be another consideration all together.

I thought he went OK but I can see why people have concerns with his defence. Having said that, when Brooks came into first grade he was one of the worst defenders in the game and he's turned that around. He didn't show much in attack but had very limited opportunity. his first half was better.
On today I'd give him 5/10.

I like madden I think he has a big future! I don’t believe he’s a 5/8 though. I think he will make a great half back! U could see him barking at the others !! Good young prospect IMO

He's entitled to his opinion, just like you are yours....
Don't need to get all defensive.
Anyway, I think it's likely your team list is what we will see next year.
Will it see success?
Who knows.
Hopefully we do better than this year.

Different players. Brooks is faster, better runner and tackler but Madden might prove a better organiser, maybe also they pair well together. But not criticising Brooks by praising Madden.

So that's where you're setting the bar.....the coach has to have a better resume than Dwight Schrute.
I can see why you're content with the coach now.

Madden is an organiser. He complements Brooks. When the competition is short of quality halves, we are in a good position. With Sheens aboard, I expect a significant improvement.

To answer my own question, he is a tidy halfback that would compliment a dangerous ball runner. I wish we had someone like Luai in the 6 and just let Madden organise and control. I like him.
