**"They're growing and those guys will ebb and flow with experience," he said.**
Hahah 🙂
No one spins rhetoric like Madge. I have no doubt he actually believes it himself, but no one else does.
Adam has been excellent in the 6...so I am moving him to center, where he can be excellent.
We know who we are.
I believe in this group of men.
Ebbs and flows.
I like madge and I'm against getting rid of him...but this decision seems odd to say the least. His comments come across like he has game plan and they have been practicing it for weeks and now they can finally give it a go cause the season is over.
To me, if the season is over why not focus on building the spines cohesion and relationship? Why move the one shining light in the miserable 2 months just to see what mbye can do (read sell him off at a higher price) at the expense of a fantastic opportunity to see how AD and Laurie can develop together.
We've tried AD at centre, fullback, wing and everywhere else. He is a 6, he has proven that, playing him at centre just seems backwards. Even if it is to give a shot to Madden, drop Brookes instead and say to Madden if you aren't a 7 then you probably won't get much first grade without injuries.
Out of the whole team, 6 is one of about 5 positions that are set and forget, and we decide to move that player?
Madge as a recruitment is fantastic, as an actual coach I'm not so sure, but sacking him isn't the answer

He said AD has been excellent at 6, so lets move him where he can be excellent at center.
Maybe next week he can be excellent at lock? And then excellent at prop.

Madge knows where we are as a team, he wants AD to view his game from a different perspective and a strong ball runner. The boys all have a role and each have to fulfil it.

No he didn't because I don't think he knows why he did it.

That interview was terrible. Clichés, rhetoric and zero substance.
Honestly, at this point, I am sure Madge would spit out the same lines regardless of any question:
Reporter: Do you think the vaccines will work?
Madge: We know who we are, I have a lot of faith in this group of men.
Reporter: Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon going to run again?
Madge: We have shown what we can do in 10 min periods, we need to show that the whole game. That is who we can be.
Reporter: PS5 or XBOX Series X?
Madge: That is what we are building here. My reserve grader, who I only called up due to injury, is what we are building. It shows what we are building here.
