If Madge goes,sobeit,we move on with a new coach and hopefully he has success that atm we are not getting...
However,if he has results the same as Madge,do we judge him the same way and demand he gets sacked after 2/3 seasons with no finals and nothing but whinging,moaning and bellittling him as we have Madge..where does that leave us...IN THE SAME PLACE...
Madge has developed the junior pathway,signed talented young players mixed in with older players..he is trying to mend a broken club left shattered by sacked coaches a coach who was "on the bus'' and spent ridiculous amounts on players he wanted that would suit his coaching style and then jumped off the bus mid stream to find something better which he always had..his son at Panthers..
I can understand the disappointment by many on here,I also see that Madge can coach players to become NRL level players,Harry Grant comes to mind,Laurie was a great get just as we needed a fullback and is doing well...
We have a very young immature roster with experience mixed in,Im more than happy to see the end result after this season before supporting the "sack Madge"squad..
We also have a number of origin players,Tamou,Joe O,Mbye,Roberts and they are maybe not coping with the youth surrounding them,who really knows what mentally is happening with the team who are under pressure to perform,the seasoned players must react positively to their performances so as the younger ones become tougher NRL performers playing with heart and soul for the jersey and understanding what it takes to play at this level...I just dont think its all Madges fault,his staff,players as well all contribute to the lack of success we are having.....
Elevate Maguire to coaching director, bring in Flanagan or Morris , everyone saves face
What's the go with Morris suddenly being mentioned as a competent NRL coach? It shows how desperate the WT lens at judging competence has become. And, his Sharks mate Flanagan is a drug-cheating bogan. I want neither of them anywhere near the Tigers thanks.
Morris is unproven. We’re the last club that an unproven coach can make his name. Even premiership winning coaches are taking the club backwards.
As opposed to Maguire who is proven (at what)?
he has won a comp a long time ago but still has. The game has just passed him by now.
All these players didn't want to play for Madge
Matterson
Aloia
Latrell
JAC
they all talk, he is.obviously not a man manager
By the same logic, Bellamy isn't a man manager because JAC wants to leave. Robinson is a bad coach because Latrell left.
JAC wants to come back to Sydney
Latrell wanted fullback money and got it at souths
Trell got $300k less
We offered $1.1 million, he signed at souths for $600k, a ringing endorsement for Madge and the club
Only so South's could stay under the cap - significant upgrade after the first year.
Significant, it went up to $800k, still $300k a year under our offer, that is $800k over the last 2 years he has given up to not play here, and Madge was a big factor
Disagree,
Our club was shambolic at the time and didnt want to be the first one on the boat. Madge is known as being disciplined and a hard worker, Something Latrell (very talented) is rumoured not to be.
Were are in the middle of a rebuild.
We need a Ponga, or a David fafita to help bring us the street Cred we truly have never had.
The Sack Madge movement lacks true foresight
Madge can't attract elite talent, so there is plenty of cred in the oust him movement, poor team selections, poor or no game plan or structure, we stand too flat in attack, and too deep and passive in defence, we suck at all aspects of the game. More than enough foresight to send him packing, accountability needs to be shown
