Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[cochise]

Honestly I am torn about this. We can't keep sacking coaches? Who will we recruit next? No one will want to come as a stint at the tigers appears to be a career killer.

I have massive doubts about Madge's ability. I also hate the fact that he won't hire decent assistants because of his history. I cannot understand how his contract was extended.

I don't think that there are too many other coaches under pressure, and those on the market will likely still be there are the end of the season.

Unless you are bringing in an interim coach on trial, you can keep Madge until close to the end of the season while doing due diligence on available coaches. If you are bringing in a long term coach, you want them in a couple of months before the end of the season so that they can help decide whether to re-sign off contract players.

I'm pretty much in the same spot mate.

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?

You don't mind he's a proven cheat?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Wouldn't it be nice to have a winning season?

Don't care 1 bit ....everyone in this comp who is successful is cheating somehow

We need to learn to get dirty

Screw it ...I'd almost take Kyle at the moment

Problem is he can’t recruit any big names. Any have access to buzz article?

Who has at tigers?

💯 at a minimum any assistant solely helping with the nrl squad should be sacked. That gnome locking fella would do. We need blood. Then bring in Morris

Sheens did ok. No denying established players are off him more often than not

I said after the cowboys game Madge had a month to save his job.
The South's game was an improvement, but back to the rubbish today.

If we lose to dragons and titans he will be gone. I was a fan of his up until a month ago but it looks like he has lost the dressing room.
He has no game plans and can't adapt mid game. Our attack is robotic and our defense has no structure. 13 players defend g on their own, not as a team.

Ciraldo and Flanagan may be options??

He can't adapt season to season, let alone mid game

Pretty torn over this whole thing tbh. Impossible to know if we will be better keeping him or sacking him.

Can't we just bloody win 😭 sick of this crap all the bloody time. Wish we could just have years of knowing we will be good

Don't want him anywhere near the club.

We won't if we keep sacking coaches. We might have short term success but it will never be long term. The players would see to that.

Beggars can't be choosers. I'd take anyone at this stage. Flanno won a comp and players love him.

Not if we have to drug up our players to achieve it no.

They cheated to win that comp and it should have been stripped, no thank you.

Ok that made me laugh.

We have a young team with centres who can’t defend compounded by being a second rower short. We then started the season against very strong clubs. We now are down on confidence.

Our salary cap has space for two marque players, four if you take Mbye and Packer out of it. Take Tom out of Manly today and that game plays out very differently (yep an excuse I get it)

Add four (?) marque players and we would perform significantly better.

I hear you all about concerns about sacking Madge and I am getting closer to that view each week, however until I hear that there is a better alternative to Madge... or Brooks... or Robert’s... then I’m not sure the ‘sacking’ will fix anything.

In Madges favour we have recruited better than ever. Our lower grades are stronger than ever. Our future salary cap has more potential than ever. We have some genuine young guns.

What I don’t know is if Madge can get the team consistently believing in themselves.

We might not win if Madge stays either. He's definitely struggling
