Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[tony soprano]

I'm all in on Sheens. A rookie coach will struggle with the job ahead. It's too big a mess with too many things to fix.

Sheen's for two seasons and coach up the likes of Gardiner or Morris or Farah and kimmorley to take over in a smooth transition.

Only other option is Wayne Bennett but that's a long shot.

Does Sheens want the Job would be the question I would ask...?

A bit revolutionary but I guess the first thing to do would be to ask him lol

lol Yeah..but I meant Does he want EVERYTHING that goes with being an NRL coach at Wests Tigers entails..

We did end up in court at the end of his last tenure..

And won

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I can't see Bennett being the next coach. If they sack Madge they will throw a rookie coach in there. Because thats all they will be able to afford.

Why is that all they can afford. Club is doing well financially and Bellamy level coaches cost less than a Latrell. IMO if they let Madge go they should just though stupid money at Ciraldo and put your eggs in that basket.

Wouldn't they have to pay out Madge for breaking his contract?

You missed the Chammas clause...

For those at home playing alone who also missed it..

Maguire not the problem: Brooks in cross-hairs as Tigers ask ‘where to now?’
By Michael Chammas
April 12, 2021 — 6.00am

Michael Maguire has a clause in his recently-extended two-year contract that would allow the Wests Tigers to hit the eject button without much of an impact to the bottom line.

It’s the protection mechanism that the club were adamant they needed in case the rumblings around Maguire’s relationship with the players spilled over and left them with no choice but to part ways.

So according to Chammas as far back as 12 April 2021, the "rumblings around Maguire's relationship with the players" was considered serious enough to include a protection mechanism in Maguire's extension contract.

 

[cochise]

Mess left for him? He’s signed 28/30 players in our current squad. When will people wake up??


I don't disagree with your general comments about the outcomes with Madge - he has failed with the roster he has.

However I don't buy the argument about him signing / re-signing 28/30 players and therefore it's "his roster". Yes he was left with a mess.

Up until pre-season 2021 3 of the Top 4 money-earners in our club had been signed by Ivan Cleary and their contracts were still burning a hole in our roster - Reynolds, Mbye, Packer. Brooks was the 4th top-earning player and he was re-signed 5 weeks into Maguire's tenure, the same year he won the Dally M halfback of the year. Obviously the discussions around Brooks had been ongoing before Madge joined, or at the earliest when Madge was just starting. What's Madge going to do, come in and not renew the reigning Dally M halfback from his junior club?

Packer and Reynolds managed 31 games combined for Tigers between 2019-2021.

Now - give any coach in the NRL a roster where 3 of the top 4 players were signed to long-term deals by someone else, and for whom the output is horribly below not just expectations, but of your average first-grader. Restrict 2 of those Top 4 players to 6.2 matches played per season, each.

Additionally, take $375K off the salary cap of the first two seasons under that coach, for mistakes made by the CEO and previous coaches.

Then tell that coach "it's your roster mate" when he battles to fulfil the lower 26 spots with the remaining money available to him.

Madge bashers are blind to this pure fact.

This comment should be read to the board as exhibit A after any review.

Quoting money issues as his downfall is a joke. We offered Latrell 1.2 mil a season and that was when all those high earners were still at the club.

Did latrell want to play with our superstars?

Latrell would’ve brought actual superstars.

This new fear of not paying “overs” for players is why we have such a stupid amount of cap space and absolutely no one to spend it on. Now we’re gonna get burned for it now and the future because no one in their right mind is coming to this club, even for the whole 1.6

Latrell was offered overs.

Rubbish, they were good deals and not one of them were a player worth overpaying for. You only overpay for players that will fundamentally change your club.

Why is that all they can afford. Club is doing well financially and Bellamy level coaches cost less than a Latrell. IMO if they let Madge go they should just though stupid money at Ciraldo and put your eggs in that basket.

Wouldn't they have to pay out Madge for breaking his contract?

Accurate

 

[Telltails]

Hopefully the new coach gives our halfback a fatherly chat about 5th tackle options, short balls at the line to second rowers and his kicking game. It's all been garbage for years.

If Blore doesn't give Brooks a pair of Irish sunglasses over Mad Monday for his efforts on the weekend I'll be surprised.

Or he could just use him as Cleary did.

And get us to ninth again. It would be an absolute disaster if madge is gone and brooks is still here. The ONE common denominator in our last decade of not playing finals football is brooks. If that’s not enough to get rid of him then I give up on this club.

If Brooks is an agitator I agree - for his sake but mostly for ours.

I couldn’t imagine Brooks agitating anything

Maybe not on the field

Not too accurate according to what Chammas wrote on 12 April 2021. Probably explains to some extent difficulties with recruitment.

Maguire not the problem: Brooks in cross-hairs as Tigers ask ‘where to now?’

Michael Maguire has a clause in his recently-extended two-year contract that would allow the Wests Tigers to hit the eject button without much of an impact to the bottom line.

It’s the protection mechanism that the club were adamant they needed in case the rumblings around Maguire’s relationship with the players spilled over and left them with no choice but to part ways.

So according to Chammas as far back as 12 April 2021, the "rumblings around Maguire's relationship with the players" was considered serious enough to include a protection mechanism in Maguire's extension contract.

If a prospective recruit contacted one of our players and asked about joining WTs, what do you believe the advice would be?

And exactly which player in our current squad - Would you be taking life advice from?

I believe it prudent to gain insight into the club you may be joining? Players know one another and it would be naive to believe they don't contact one another.

For example, what is it like to play for Madge? The answer - a skull and crossbones.

How does that remotely answer the question?

Wouldn't you do checks and balances before signing for a new club? Really, what planet are you on!
