Don’t know where I read it but a few days ago I read a 1-17 player rundown of south’s gf team. Thinking back this morning wanting to reread but not sure where to find it. As dawned on me this morning that from memory the coach that gets the most mentions on the players that come through souths system is Madge.

 

[watersider]

So, these sort of comparisons are rubbish, but Bennett couldn't win a premiership with a stacked squad at Souths while Madge built something up and did. Entirely different circumstances, but Bennett not winning one at Souths highlights that even the best squads with a great coach don't always get there. And sometimes maybe it's just the bounce of the ball, or a swinging arm.

Also, Souths after Madge have been nothing but successful. People talk about the way a coach leaves a club also matters.

On both counts, I continue to believe that what Madge did at Souths was no fluke and that what he is doing in terms of building from the lower grades is right. Whether he goes well or not next year, I think he's making our club better for the future.

Yeah it's a great read - I was really impressed with the level of impact madge had has in setting up the team. He gets mentioned for most of the key senior players, and often sounds like he went into bat to get them.

 

[the road runner]

Best options for assistant coaches are Flanagan as defence coach and Neil Henry as attack coach.

Hopefully we get Flanagan on the team

Hopefully we don’t

Hopefully Flanagan ceases his involvement in Rugby League

Can't see that happening.

Good gig and probably gets rewarded well $$

He honestly shouldn't have had a choice.

I'm surprised he was welcomed back so openly and it's not even an after thought.

Forgive and forget, when it suits eh?

All that aside though, I'm interested to see what's next for him and if we bring him on board. Got his media buddies really pushing him at the moment and we all know he'd be ready to strike as soon as the time comes to slide into Madges seat.

What he did there was definitely no fluke.

Whats Rowdy doing these days , a bucket load of his determination wouldnt go astray about now


Yeah I was thinking the same. A lot of talk around Robbie but not much about Rowdy. Maybe his business interests and the crap he allegely copped from Pascoe to extend before his last year is a blocker. He is probably the most qualified and genuine former WT player of recent times. Also, A one club player from MacArthur region .

I always like him as a player- but dont you think he's too quiet? Doesn't have that same leadership quality and passion that Farah has.

Rowdy is a wonderful leader.

Its great if we need a strong core of ex WT players around the boys to help build a strong WT culture

Who do we have?

Chris Lawrence - NRL Career Coach
Simon Dwyer — NRL Video Analyst
John Skandalis — Sponsorship Sales Executive

Robbie Farah - Blue shirt and hooked coach
Pat Richards - is he still coaching kicking?

I know Kevin McGuinness is involved in Wests Junior Development, I think this year he was with the Under 14's. He works closely with Gallant at times.

Ben Galea is involved with Balmain nowadays too but not sure of his exact role.

Good to hear this.

Forgive my ignorance, but is that the same Kevin McGuiness that was outed with Craig Field for illegal substance matters - teaching 14yo boys?

Hey champion @Swordy, mate people change and learn (we hope!).

So does Flanno change ?
