Madge

Elijah's quote;

“A lot of people are asking me what’s wrong with Madge (Maguire) and what’s wrong with the Broncos,” Taylor said.

“One, it’s his intensity. I’ve never seen a coach ride the game so hard.

“After a win the world is a better place. After a loss you’re off to a funeral and someone will be getting cooked at the video session.

“Two, training methods. Ninety-five per cent of the time on the field it’s full contact. You haven’t done an NRL pre-season until you have done a Michael Maguire pre-season.

“Three, time efficiency. Let’s have a meeting for a meeting for a meeting. I’d get home from training and the kids don’t know who I am any more.”.

Ouch.
 
Donahy seemed too desperate to sign a "name" coach rather than the correct coach for the Broncos.
He had a lot of success at the storm.

Convinced Bellamy to re-sign then left.

Probably supports Bellyaches paranoid style of coaching over the last decades.
All his grubbyness. The game has rewarded it.
 
Played his best football when he first came here. His ball playing was great. He played a bit like Victor Radley does. Then he got turned into a tacklebot. I don't know why the coaching discouraged his ball playing.
He got dominated in attack. Yeah a decent attacking coach could use him better, but he either passed the ball or got smashed. His D game was first class, and in another side probably would have been penalised less. Decent bloke too, from what I could tell. I reckon if ET is complaining about being overworked then there is probably something to it.
Remember Madge wanting to train until GF day?

Elijah Taylor was born in the wrong era. Had he born 10 years later he would have been one of the best players. The game was full of giants when he played. Average forward was 110kg. Now there are lots of small forwards running around who are under 100kg.

Ouch.
Sounds like a guy who was happy to cruise in the twilight years of his career. Panthers didn’t win four titles by taking short cuts I bet. Tigers players of the past decade didn’t earn the right to criticise anyone.

I don't think he got the option to cruise under Madge and that's the point.

I hear what you're saying but the Panthers didn't win 4 titles by being absolutely flogged either. Maybe he's offering criticism as someone who made a Grand Final and Prelims under Cleary.

ET played a lot of his footy under Cleary both here and the wahs.

he would know exactly what it is like to play under the 4 time premiership coach and the differences with madge
 
Aside from Liam - Bryce & Rowdy - we have produced zero genuine long term NRL talent from the Macarthur region!

Parasites like Nofa and Galvin are the 2nd tier...

All the Cambo-Minto etc slum kids think the world owes them a living & have zero character or loyalty!!

 
Yeah - That Tedesco bloke was only the captain of his country or some such wasn't he?
There's others as well, Like Paseka that came out of the area (Or Liverpool)
 
brain's trust were discussing Nathan Brown as a ST.G Coach , face slapping those 3 players .Copped a different reaction than when Roy knew it was good
