Punt the chairman

I live how fitter has not been ripping into us this time round. Coincidence he stop since blues no 1 sponsor joined our board?

Mate, he is waiting for a job.

Never rated Fitler for coach but I’m sure he could snag a few players?

He would draw a couple of players but I think he is a terrible coach.

Agreed,he can't even get the best team in the world (NSW) to play consistently even when he has a massive amount of talent to draw from.How would he go coaching a team with our squad,horrendous at best.

Certainly not against Pascoe moving on(same result etc) but if we think sacking him will do anything for 2022 is laughable.


So what’s the point of sacking him then?
If sacking fixes nothing I don’t get the point

Cause you want to change the next 5 years not the next year. Need to look for coach or players

I still think our bigger issue is weak minded individuals in the team. Much harder to fix though.

Weak minded or largely fractured and disgruntled because non performing players on massive salaries weren’t contributing?

That’s the key to balancing the cap, having each player on the pay rate according to their contribution? You can see how it gets out of whack very easily with constant changes in those responsible for recruitment.
If (big if) there was one single important feature of Storms success, that would be it.

Now if there is ever a loaded statement this is it from that article posted earlier -


Getting Sheens closer to the team could assist with on-field performance.

 

[Spartan117]

Stay the course with the Madge rebuild.

This year will.see us get some recruitment wins for a better 2023.

If we get there, we are set for a decade.

Hold your nerves Tigers fans.

I would like to see the following if there are no sackings
Have a full restructure to define clearer roles for each of the personal and ensure that the reporting lines of each role are not blurred and those that are not meant to be part of the football operations don’t interfere.

Pascoe moved away from the football operations and made CFO.
Club to be on the look out for a new CEO.
( this is the most important part, I acknowledge all that Pascoe has done in the finance side of the club and should be retained as such, in that particular role. However we need more of a ‘face’ in the CEO role, a professional, with knowledge of both business and football.)
Hartigan and Sheens to essentially swap roles, sheens general manager and recruitment face where as Hartigan works in the background and focuses on recruiting juniors as he has been doing and continuing to manage the cap with Woodward.
Madge to stay on as he seems to be the only competitive attitude at the club however a shake up is needed in the footballing staff.
Collins and Millard to be replaced or demoted to less game day roles and a couple of younger more driven assistants to be appointed, prehaps one very senior one.
I wonder if Farah could be an option there?

I think as the days pass, it’s becoming more and more likely that no one is going to lose their jobs or be shopped around. The club needs to put it to bed this week though and get on with it, and focus on filling the roster with the last few remaining spots. And none of this, “we’re not going to fill the 30th spot till the deadline”. Fill the roster now.

Fittler cool over talk of Roosters-Souths blue
Danny Weidler
September 12, 2021 — 5.30am

With the Maroons plunged into chaos as they choose their third coach in three years, Blues coach Brad Fittler isn’t concerned in the slightest that he could be coaching a divided team next year.

As we have made inquiries about the Maroons situation, Queensland Origin figures have been telling NSW to look closely in the Blues backyard instead of peering over the state border to catch a glimpse of the coaching car crash happening in Brisbane.

They are attempting to fuel a fire along the lines of the Roosters and Souths players not being able to come together for NSW because of the Latrell Mitchell tackle on Joey Manu. Mitchell handled the situation in the best way he could, by saying sorry to Manu privately.

Admittedly, the incident sparked strong reaction from the Roosters. Blues and Roosters skipper James Tedesco was strong with his comment: “Whether it’s accidental or not, it causes someone to break a fair amount of bones in his face ... you just can’t do that.”

The Blues have strong representation from both teams. Angus Crichton is another Rooster Blue, while Souths have Mitchell, Damien Cook and Cam Murray. Others such as Luke Keary, Victor Radley, Daniel Tupou, Cody Walker, Keaon Koloamatangi and Campbell Graham are in the Origin mix.

“I don’t think it is an issue,” a calm Fittler said. “It is not something I feel I need to address with the players as a whole or individuals.

Brad Fittler isn’t concerned by any animosity between Souths and Rabbitohs players in the
“Joey Manu was fine with Latrell’s apology and that’s the person who matters. There was plenty of people wanting to fire things up, but they are not the people I have to worry about. I think by the time the players come together it will be well in the past.

“I think the players are past all of that. It won’t impact the Blues.”

Fittler is watching the Queensland situation with interest, especially given his Channel Nine colleague Billy Slater is favourite to coach them and become his arch rival.

“I haven’t worked with Billy much this year,” he said. “That’s because of COVID; we’ve been in different states. I talked to him about coaching last year and my belief is that the best can learn on the run.”

As for a dream team of some of Queensland’s greats coming up against him, Fittler said: “That’s a tribute to the Blues players and what they have done.”

Here’s the Tigers part

Long Tigers review keeps coaching pot on boil

The longer the Wests Tigers season review drags on, the more names that are dragged into the team’s head coaching mix.


One of those is Cameron Ciraldo, who has the coaching world at his feet – he just needs to decide if the Wests Tigers are a sensible first step into head coaching.

But rather than chase a job that may not even become available, he is focused purely on the Panthers’ push to a title.

So if the Tigers are in a hurry to replace Michael Maguire, Ciraldo may not be their man. Ciraldo is represented by manager Daryl Mather and would consult with his current boss Ivan Cleary before any move. But he will ultimately be guided by a man whose opinion he rates above all others: Phil Gould.

One of Gould’s close mates is former top agent Wayne Beavis, who is doing some talking of his own. Beavis is no longer a registered player agent, but that has not stopped him having in-depth conversations with Wests Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis about what Shane Flanagan could bring to the club.

He is making it known to the Tigers that the Sharks premiership-winning coach and rebuild specialist is ready to go if they sack Michael Maguire. But Flanagan won’t be drawn on the actions of Beavis.

While the names swirl, Maguire is in Brisbane ignoring the speculation about his future.
He is smart enough to know there is a strong push against him. He is not exactly sure where it is coming from. If he had read the damning comments from Hagipantelis in recent days, it would be clear to him.

Tigers players hung Madge out to try: Joey
The Tigers' players' group has hung embattled coach Michael Maguire out to dry, that's the belief of eighth immortal Andrew Johns.
The problem the Tigers have is that the board re-signed Maguire at the start of this year, and to move him on it will need to cough up a year’s salary – $700,000.

They would then need to fork out big money to sign their next coach. It would be a major admission from the board that it got it wrong, and the chairman and chief executive Justin Pascoe would be in the firing line.

Something that gets lost in the tearing down of Maguire is the position he has the team in with $1.5 million to spend on players.

Yes, he has struggled to get results and to sign a superstar, but he has put the club in a place where it can afford to shop for players.

A new coach would need to win over a fractured playing group. But they won’t have to put up with a film crew documenting their movements, as Maguire did this year with the Fox Sports series Tales from Tiger Town.

Maguire was far from happy that the club agreed to open its doors and confided in people that a big-time club would not have agreed to it.
