Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[Mighty_Tiger]

Madge has to be close at being gone now especially with John Morris available.

I got sucked into his words, sure he gives an honest assessment but it’s his job to show progress - something we aren’t showing at all.

Madge can talk about “its not wests tigers is about” & “we need to have a hard look at ourselves”, “our effort needs to improve” etc but the reality is the team isn’t responding at all to him.

Over his tenure we are actually regressing we had a blip last week but cmon to have 30+ points scored by teams in the bottom half of the 8 scored against you it’s clear the team aren’t responding to him at all.

Our worst start ever to a season, most points ever conceded against us in a season. At what point is the coach responsible.

Ben Gardiner should be more hands on with the top grade , this bloke can coach , but apparently he answers to wests magpies not Wests Tigers , let’s get it right from here Tigers , this stuff we are dishing up now is garbage

 

[facepalmer]

I was just thinking if Madge were sacked, who would step in as interim coach?

Majority of the good sides have or have had assistant coaches with the potential to kick on as first grade coaches. Looking at our coaching staff I don't think there's anyone who has the potential to step up.

Madge hasn't surrounded himself with good staff and that's showing with how weak our defence is and how poor we look in attack.

It's hard to make a case for Madge to keep his job. He has taken this team backwards.

John Morris is looking for a job and actually played for the Tigers so he might actually have some pride.

I believe Shane Flananang should be made head coach. He is a strong defensive coach a gets the most out of his players and is looking for any opportunity?

I'd love Flano. But the waaah waaah brigade won't have it. We don't have cheats here, except our CEO .

So in all seriousness, if Madge falls on his sword, who would be the most ideal coaching option out there at the moment?

Me ,Hobbo and Geo

They wouldn’t last 5 mins with me ..
I’d knock em all out ..
Geo is too nice ..
You haven’t got a drivers license ?

 

[TillLindemann]

The ultimate test is...where would Saints be with Mary?

They'd be where we are...

They made the change and brought in an actual coach / a tactician and it has worked.

We need a change, desperately. A real coach (teach how to play / tactics)...not just a motivator (the speeches only work first 12 months / no longer work)

We need a change.

It will happen I think (a change). We will replace a proven premiership winner with the best win rate of any coach we've had - better than Sheens, better than Cleary. And we'll bring in some rookie like John Morris who looked good for a while but has never actually won anything. Then this time next year we'll demand SACK MORRIS!

He is cooked unfortunately, pains me as he seems like a good hard working guy. Where to from here, I would bring in John Morris before more recruitment decisions are made.

Every coach we’ve had bar sheens is looking for any opportunity..

Not all have been a premiership winning coach.He did it with a pretty untalented group that played to their potential every week!

 

[tiger8]

Who is actually out there? John Morris, Laurie Daley, Cartwright (yuck) ... ??

I dont understand how a tactician will help a mob who cannot grasp the fundamentals... No coach can get us out of this quagmire, its a lack of personal resilience at the player level, its a weakness in some of these players resolve as human beings.

Yep , his message is being lost . I think he’s a good coach , but whatever he’s saying is being lost on deaf ears .
It’s now whether the club want to sacrifice this year for development , as we have a lot of great juniors , or , he gets punted ala Kearney last year , and we try and find a new voice in the locker room .

He was a good coach. His style doesn’t suit the game anymore. We can’t persist with him any longer.

I think you’re right mate . He’s recruited so well , as well , so he can identify talent , he just can’t get the most of them anymore.
John Morris can coach . He turned a madge ball team into an attacking juggernaut . That’s no easy feat , IMO .

I still don't think we can sack him but he is recruiting pretty well but the team just aren't being consistent.

I really like madge and feel bad for him after every performance like this but I'm not sure what else he can do at this point. Might be time

I'm a fan of Madge but wouldn't be against it at this point. Worst start we've ever had to a season.

The thing which bothers me the most is we never appear to have a gameplan suited to the team, or a strong or the right team in the first place. Some players look out of place/position or like they aren't up to NRL level.
Our defence is horrendous and the team plays some dumb footy, and I don't mean that as a personal dig at the players but we always manage to look incompetent and chaotic when any pressure comes along.

You're wrong they are consistent at losing ?‍♂️
