**live game feed** vs the Cowboys

[Guest]

Post match press conference just finished...Madge visibly and emotionally upset. Didn't elaborate on a lot of questions - questioned the players attitude - particularly defence - said the players need to find their shoulders. Unacceptable to drop heads when the bunker disallowed the try and then concede one straight away.

Said he'll look at reggies players, says he'll question the players attitudes on why they can't defend. Clearly not putting into game day what they do at training and he's at a loss to explain why.

I have no words

I do sack Maguire

I wouldn’t sack but, if I was Maguire I’d be looking for a way out from these bozos.

But he signed or extended these bozo’s

End of the day we have one major issue and it's this. Can't worry about anything else until we fix our defence


Well here goes the coaches attitude on D.
Get rid of Madge pathetic today your tactics.

Madges record says it all; love to know what his game plan was

Maguire broke his glasses in the coaches box. Wasn’t happy.

The people bagging Nofa are missing the point.

Every week it’s a different player that cost the team. We’ve got holes everywhere.

It’s time for Madge to feel some pressure.

Have you not noticed that every game nofa rushes up and in and let's in at least 1 or more tries,this game he has let in 2 already

And he’s the only problem is he?

He is not the only problem,but the guy never learns,so many times rushed up and leaves his man unmarked,the opposition know they can score easy tries down that right edge

They defend well at training because they’re defending against other WT players.

But seriously, the team isn’t responding to his methods and that’s clear for all to see.

If I didn't hate every other team in the comp. I'd change clubs.

I love my grandparents more than anything....but embedding the Tigers into my DNA was the cruelest thing they could have ever done to me.

"Madge visibly and emotionally upset." - in any management speak, you wouldn't last 1 minute...In time of crisis, you need rational decision makers.
"he’s at a loss to explain why+ - see above.

Did you hear at the end of the conference one of the reporters goes

"how about a new half back" lol

I know it wasnt brooksys fault even though im one of his haters but it was funny lol.

Something needs to happen or he’ll have a stroke .

I really really do feel for the bloke. Not saying he's not at fault for some of it but he genuinely just doesn't seem to understand what's going wrong

We need an elite coach to do a review on our entire system.

 

[Tiger_heart]

Did someone from the forum sneak in the press conference to make that comment about the half back? :eyes: :eyes:

 

[gallagher]

At least we know Brooks isn’t a 7
22 suits him fine ?

X1,000,000, absolute garbage, the whole team needs to have a look in the mirror.
These imposters are a disgrace, and the Leichhatdt advantage can finally be debunked, the Cows scored more points in the first half than they have scored in a game all year.
Absolutely disgusted with this mob, Madge included, Tommy would be devastated with the effort

Sell me yo-yo ?

Would a tigers yo yo go up or just down? Would it just be a yo?

What is the point in your posts about Yo-Yo's are you serious WT supporters or just being 1syt rate Dhead's come on after a performance liker today we need feedback that does not incorporate low IQ'S.

Didn't mean to offend mate. I've been giving feedback on the clubs performances on here for a lot of years now. It's gets shouted down so I'm sort of over taking it serious anymore.

FTR, I downvote a lot but didn't downvote your post.

None of our coaches of the last 10 years have had an answer. Please footy gods give us Bellamy

No. Just good management, that's all.

 

[hodgo]

only our team could win every conceivable stat and still lose

 

[Leck]

I’m glad we put our big boy pants on in the second half and made an effort, but a loss is a loss. Whether it’s by 4 points or by 40,... especially against the worst team in the comp.

As far as I’m concerned Madge needs to go. He’s not a players coach, he doesn’t seem to understand what our weaknesses and strengths are, how to minimise them in defence and how to accentuate them in attack.

So far on his watch he has signed, re-signed or let go -

Robert Jennings - Flop
Billy Walters - Flop
Joey Leilua - Flop
James Roberts - Flop so far
Joe Ofahengaue (avg run metres 90) - Flop so far
James Tamou (avg run metres 84) - Flop, another retirement package
Asu Kepaoa - Flop
Luke Brooks (resigned for 4 years) - Flop
Luke Garner (resigned for 2 years) - Flop
David Nofoaluma (resigned for 4 years) - Criminal
Paul Momorovski (released, we could have waited for Laurie) - Criminal
Benji Marshall (released) - Our attack doesn’t look much better and our defence is worse
Adam Doueihi - The jury is still out
Stefano Utoikamanu - The jury is still out
Shawn Blore - The jury is still out
Zane Musgrove - Decent but his character is questionable
Luciano Leilua - Decent
Daine Laurie - Excellent but it’s still early days

So that’s one excellent signing, however we could have waited for Daine. Playing with a team that doesn’t appear to have any pride in the jumper has to be demoralising.

For anyone that says Madge needs time to build the team he wants, that’s rubbish. Two years is more than enough time to build a foundation, develop strategies and at least start to grow a winning culture.

Since he’s been at WT we’ve gone backwards.

Hard to argue with you but that's very very biased

Biased, how? The writing is in black and white and on the scoreboard

 

[Yossarian]

So reviewing their tries:

1. Their centre gets a touch of space and makes Nofa look like my grandma with arthritis. Easily kicks past Laurie who does a decent job of trying to stop the grounding.

2. Offload in a 3 man tackle. Jimmy holds position, Nofa charges up, kick behind, easy try.

3. Drinkwater has zero support so being the last puts in a speculative kick. Still manages to easily be first to the ball.

4. Simple crash over try. Joe O doesn’t aim up.

5. Nofa displays zero commitment. Meekly allows them first dibs on an easy bomb under pressure.

6. Talau not even close to catching a bomb but come on, it’s 10m out from the line and the cover defence is non-existent.

So a grand total of 0 of their points came from set plays or great attack. Everything was poor scramble, a lack of commitment and/or confidence and bad communication.

Do the betting agencies have influence on the results ???
Makes you wonder after a performance like this???
Everything to play for but nil effort from the team.
