Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[gallagher]

Apart from Farah I can’t think of anyone who fits the bill?

Rowdy

Absolutely. Wouldn't blame Rowdy if he didn't want to ever step through the doors again for us though. We wasted his career.

Pat Richards would be another I'd love to see involved more with the club.

Both Rowdy and Pat Richards are employed by the club. It is weird, we use our former players so poorly, you never ever hear from any of them, even the ones employed by the club. We have a wealth of former players who would talk positively about the club and counter some of the negative rubbish that gets driven by Blocker, Benny and co. Using our own former players will build the identity of the club, at the moment it is like a player stops playing for us and they cease to exist. I spoke to Galloway at an Ambush event earlier in the year and asked him about his current involvement and he said he absolutely no involvement with the club but you could tell there was a desire to be involved.

Why isn't the club using these guys to generate positive stories about the club.

Because we're run by nimrods?

Wasn't Nimrod a biblical figure known as a mighty man?

Thought it was a woman's bedtime toy

Not sure if posted already but interesting to see the future captains opinion

That makes me question him as a future captain. Shows a lack of maturity.

Though in general I think they should avoid social media, I don't see the harm here. The coach has been dragged through the mud in the media, there has been repeated speculation that players aren't playing for him, it was even speculated on here that Doueihi himself didn't like Madge. It is refreshing to be reminded that players - including someone like Doueihi who's been moved around a bit - are behind the coach.

Except he is liking a post that is bagging the higher ups in the organisation that employs him. Not a very smart thing to do.

Subtle way to suggest you’d like a bit more talent around you?

Madge has issued a statement

I really like Madge. He has his deficiencies as we all do, however the way he conducts himself and is unwavering is precisely why I still believe that he is the man to continue the rebuild.

Another year of pain IMHO.

Hopefully this long period of sustained underachievement by the Club across the past 16+ tears or so will be over soon.

Enjoy the break, We will be here waiting for you.

Recruitment team needs to step up. You can say it’s on Madge but if that’s the case, why employ others. Get him some bloody players.

What it shows to me is that the players back the coach and have little respect for management.
I have started liking them again.

One player we like. I’m sure there’s some white ants.

So its ok to white ant as long as he is white anting someone who you don't like?

I don't care if he likes them or not, that is not the way to deal with it.

I don’t agree.
Upper management, especially recruitment are the problem.

Yes my bad

 

[Telltails]

After a week from hell for Maguire - who appeared to be the only person under review - a thumbs up from Douehi pours water over some of the speculation that both have been accused of.

So you would bag your employers publicly, or support someone else who was?

I actually think it shows maturity. Hes showing that he believes in the coach and his direction. Why should he give a crap about protecting the incompetence of the club's executive management, which is why the club is where it is. AD is most of the time visibly upset after a loss, thats what I want to see.

 

[The_Patriot]

Its just a thumbs up.

Slightly unprofessional but im sure its innocent enough. He is just showing his support for the coach.

People need to relax a little and start focusing on dumping Luke Brooks again.

He hasn’t bagged anyone out. He has shown support for his coach who has been bashed from pillar to post recently.

Couple things that I believe is imperative to madges safety beyond season 2022.
1) recruitment wins for 2023. If we can lure even 2 bigger high profile names to sign on for 2023, it will make the inevitable let downs of 2022 somewhat bearable.
2) major improvement in effort, particularly in defence. Providing nsw cup and junior comps return, Madge can really shift the team around by dropping the usual culprits who fail to turn up. Get 17 blokes out on the field every week that give a damn. If we finish 13th again but don’t die wondering, id be content.

100%

Even though there is naysayers, I'm still hopeful we can move on from contracted players, early.
Poor performers like Luke Brooks and David Nofoaluma told they're not part of the plans and to look elsewhere or shopped for trade deals with players who can benefit our squad more.

Yeah, they're contracted. It's happened many timeseyca before. It'd be gold to see.

This would be a big way of mending some bridges with us , if the club is serious then they need to be moved on sooner than later I will add Liddle to that list !

Yep that should be the priority now.

Madge really needs to stand up for himself and make this happen.

If the reports are true, which I believe they are.... some players need to be tapped on the shoulder.

Madge needs a group that wants to play for him and the fans need a crew that actually want to be here and win.

We got rid of Mbye.... need more to follow and worthy replacements.

By supporting someone criticising senior management.

Someone explain to me what silver bullet this coach will have, remembering the commitment (or lack of!) shown throughout the year and especially in the last game against the dogs. Is the plan to change all 13 players? Who knows..
