Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[PJ_]

I think it would be a boost for the club to stick by madge, show the media they are willing to back the man they extended not even 12 months ago and let him have more time to see his plan come through developing the younger players and youth pathways. Move on some more deadwood over the off season and let him continue to build the team

I agree. I’m or 100% sold on Madge but I think changing coaches is going to send us back further. Surely if the game has passed Madge by as people are suggesting, then it has well and truly passed Sheens

Do you see the two of them working together effectively?

If Sheens is here for development and pathways, not coaching then I can’t see it being an issue but who knows

I mean if Sheens is there for the coaching side?
As in a coaching director or equivalent.

What’s a coaching director do ? Coach the Coaches?

Directs the coaches in the documentary

@pawsandclaws1, I expect you'd find something positive to add for any coach being rumoured to replace Maguire. As such, your thoughts are meaningless.

The forum is a two way sounding board. You are free to post your views on Maguire. I read your contribution on the other thread.

I do know a little about Flanagan as I live not far from Shark Park and all my friends support the Sharks. He is still highly regarded and while I don't agree with what happened at that Club, he served his punishment and redemption is possible.

I don't find Paws posts meaningless, but I find you constantly playing the man rather than having an intelligent debate pretty tiresome.

I hear Flanagan is a big Brooks fan and believes no coach has ever gotten the best out of him.

 

[Dyloh]

I thought next year I'd like to see this pulled from the archives so Brooks and his halves partner can utilise the kick into the in-goal for our fullback. It seemed to work well then and we do have a very good fullback now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxjF66OYbX0

What have wests tigers done to Brooks

Or what has Madge done to Brooks.

Hang on did you see Brooks do that move since Potter?
JT is the one that took that away from him.

He done it a couple of times with Cozza Thompson at Fullback.

What games?

I’ll have to go back and look but he definitely did. Thompson was the last time we had legit support play from a fullback.

Premiership-winning coach Shane Flanagan denies he is in talks to replace Michael Maguire as the head coach of the Wests Tigers.

Pressure mounted on Maguire throughout another disappointing season for the joint venture. It reached boiling point after the Tigers’ hefty loss to the cellar-dwelling Bulldogs in the final round of the season.

The likes of Paul Green, Cameron Ciraldo, Kristian Woolf and Flanagan could all be in the frame for the head coaching gig at Concord should the Tigers part company with Maguire.

However, Flanagan said that if the Tigers had begun considering Maguire’s replacement, he hadn’t been notified.

“There’s no position available. That’s the way I look at it and my management look at it,” Flanagan said on Fox League on Sunday.

“Michael Maguire is the coach. It’s been a tough year for the Tigers. I just let those things go by. It’s rugby league and the rumour mill at its best.”

However, Flanagan said he would be grab a head coaching role with both hands if he was offered one.

“I’m interested in as head coaching role. That’s what I do,” the former Sharks boss said.

“I was lucky enough to win a comp with the Sharks. I’ve got the bug, I want to do it, I think I do it well but the Wests Tigers are off the cards.

“If something comes up in the future at any club and I was lucky enough to get to that job, I’d look at it as a privilege.”

Leading into the final month of the regular season, the Tigers had still been a chance to make the finals series for the first time since 2011.

However, when the side lost its last three games by an average margin of 27 points, pundits were left to question whether Maguire had lost the dressing room.

After their 38-0 loss to the wooden-spooners in the final round, Maguire affirmed his desire to see out his contract with the Tigers.

“I know exactly where the team is going, and the organisation knows where the team is going,” he said.

“We’ve got to make sure that we continue to be disciplined about what we’re trying to build here.

“Changing teams and changing pathways of clubs takes a little bit of time.

“It doesn’t mean that you can’t get better performances on the park, I’ll acknowledge that, but it’s about continually sticking to the path of where we’re going with this group.”

Regardless of who is steering the ship, the Tigers will hope the additions of Jackson Hastings and Oliver Gildart to the roster can help turn things around next year.

Flanagan has the reputation of being a canny operator and excellent man manager. Wasn't it his barbeque that tipped the scales in the Sharks' favour of signing Luke Lewis?

A barbecue aye? So working under the current Australian coach and one of his best mates wasn’t enough, plus not to mention the vacancy of his favourite position as ball playing lock being vacant.
Fact is he and and his Misses were drawn to the lifestyle of Cronulla and after all the pressure of being the headline act at Penrith he was happy to get to work away from the microscope alongside the guidance of the current NSW caption.

Reference to barbeque was tongue in cheek. From what I have been told, Flanagan's barbeques are part of folklore down this way.

As for the lifestyle of Cronulla, I have lived down this way for many years. It has changed significantly.

It's called progress apparently and many believe it is good. We have that huge development next to Sharks which just keeps growing. The club is surrounded by earthworks for the new shopping 'village'. I am thankful WTs did not have to sell itself for survival.

[balmain boy]

Can anyone point out anything that Madge has started that can't be built upon by a new coach next year? To me it's not as if changing coaches will delay us by months or years, it will make no difference. We're basically starting off preseason with a clean slate regardless.

We have to change our assistants and tactics. Change our attacking and defensive game plans. Punt as many players as we can, attract stronger players and try retain as many of our promising juniors as possible.

It's not as if we're halfway through a game changing master plan. Everything we've done has failed, we need to blow things up and start again regardless of who will be coaching. So now it becomes who is the best person to shape our future?

I was a Madge supporter until about halfway through this season when it became clear that he could not or would not adjust our game plans, and that he couldn't motivate our players to even try their best. He now seems incredibly one dimensional, just an old man that yells a lot. Where's the subtleties? Where's the tactical genius? Where's the ability to have players run through walls for you and to create a vision that others want to be a part of? He's a nice guy that cares about the future of this club but in today's game i don't think he's suitable to be a head coach anymore.

Agree with almost everything you say,except changing coaches will make a LOT of difference in several ways
-a new coach will possibly motivate what is currently a disengaged playing group
-a new coach will have some attraction to new recruits where we currently have zero appeal
-a new coach provides new hopw for supporters...new tactics,new systems,new processes..without which were doomed for the spoon
