Maguire post match comments insanity?

[theraptor456]

Probably not the worst of our wide array of issues but Maguire mentioned "We had Daine Laurie, Adam Doueihi, Jimmy Tamou, Luke Garner, James Roberts, there's a number of senior players that add to what we need to do. We've got a number of players that with those names can steer a strong team around”.

Correct me if I’m wrong but James Roberts has been 18th man for at least 2 or 3 of the last 4 weeks and our coach is saying his absence is part of what cost us the match??? Who selects the team?

More early mad Monday madness

He’s clueless. Or knows he’s a dead man walking. Or both.

Some were still rating him a better coach than Cleary, up until about halfway through this year 😆

Pretty sure he was withholding his real thoughts until he knows he’s still got his job.
The axe must fall on our dud players and tankers or we will be in the same boat next year.

I don't think he had really processed what happened out on the field and wasn't thinking clearly...nah, he's done I reckon.

Madge looks absolutely shattered ..

Got the tap on the shoulder pre game it looks like

Madge is right, things are going to change. We will be better but I think he won't be there. Will be remembered as a guy who fixed the salary cap but couldn't right the ship.

Who were they ?

I kinda feel he was holding back a bit with the answer to the question of whether there’s a culture problem. Obviously he can’t unload, but I’d love to hear what he really thinks and his pov.

Interesting view.. so Tamou, Garner, Roberts, Mybe were missing today. Individually and collectively they were all part of all the disaster games this year . Sorry I have never seen any of them lead the team around on the field although I am sure they are great leaders at training

He looks like a broken man. That “yep” when asked if he was the coach to turn the club around was far from convincing. His voice almost broke. Part of me feels sorry for him. His heart is in the right place, but he’s drinking from a poison chalice.

Yeah but he has been serving the Kool-aid in Jonestown for the last 3 years. Time for him to drink up

Cant watch the post match.

Yes, **Madge** is the **Captain** of the **ship** but when the players are on the field he is effectively off duty and the control of the ship is then handed to his **first assistant** (this would be the halfback,the most important position in this game) so how did our ship's **first assistant** go today? And should we again have a look at all those posts in the past to judge if he is a good first assistant of a ship?

Maguire absolutely deluded: “I know exactly where the team is going and the organisation knows where the team is going”

So according to his ‘logic’ it was his plan for the side to leak 30 points a game this season. To let in seven tries to the wooden spooners, have no line breaks against the worst defensive side in the competition and clearly must’ve known the Tigers NRL team would go backwards under his coaching every year he has been here.

Was that his pitch in the job interview back in 2018? “I’m the man to take over Cleary. I know you guys were 9th this year with the 6th best defensive record but if you want to improve the club long term, then I’m the man to lead this club to 9th, 11th & 13th placed finishes. But that’s not all…I’ll take that middle of the road 6th best defensive record in 2018 and deliver the second worst defence in the comp by 2021.”

“Ohhh lots of points per game? That sounds exciting! You’re hired!!” Pascoe.


It’s a shame Maguire never told the members or fans that the club would need to get worse every year under his watch because if he did, we too would’ve tempered our expectations and understood years ago exactly where the team was going under Maguire. Backwards.

It’s always a good sign when you hear the head of any football department complaining about missing/injured players - Bellamy, robinson even Cleary whinge never about players missing. Ever. Don’t think the Rorters have complained once this year about the size of their injury toll (only the man at in which they were injured). I’m any event, successful leaders celebrate it as opportunity. The next man up will do his job and do it well. But not at the Tigers. Jimmy Tamou and Luke Garner and James Roberts and all these other winners that have led/steered the team to loss after loss this season will suddenly become winners after their time on the sidelines?

This supposed ‘leader’ is making excuse after excuse and keeps taking about sticking to a path. The path to losing? The path to averaging 40+ missed tackles per game? He blamed Ivan for the salary cap mess, he blames missing senior players and covid shutdown affecting game time of younger players not playing week in week out…but no other coach is whinging or trotting out this crap. Is covid only affecting the tigers. Clearly the game has moved beyond Maguire and his ‘systems’. Once he had the answers. Now he is an assistant coach at best.

More an anchor than a first assistant.. punt him

He’s gone and by the looks of it he knows it.
