Kristian Woolf? C'mon.

To say Woolf got Tonga going is like saying Freddy got the Blues going.

No, an influx of gun players got those squads moving in the right direction. Particularly given the limited time those coaches actually have to coach those squads.

So, when is the Tigers' influx of gun players? Because whoever is the coach at that time will be the best coach we've had in a while, regardless of who he is.
I raise you a Eddie Jones
 
I agree with this part of your statement 100%, not sure about the 1st eg Luciano improved with us.
But now he doesnt know how to get the best out him. I feel as Madge is to rigid in his style and can't adapt his pre game strategy to the "ebbs & flows" of a fluctuating game.
As many have stated before the management of the bench is crap and i believe it has cost us at least 3 games this season.
And yes we have been cruelled by injuries this year but we have been in winning positions in a number of games that we have lost...
So unless we can get an assistant that can help with game day team management then i am leaning towards letting Madge go.
As for a replacement i am not sure, but i am leaning towards favouring Ciraldo as young coach to build us up for a dynasty if all the hot air about our juniors is correct. The same as the sliding door moment Bellamy rejected us.
The hot air about our juniors is pure guess work
 
So we are clear:
"only won 6 of the last 23".
26%

Madge doesn't have to go today. He can run the team for a few more weeks till we find a good replacement. Heck I want to offer him "caretaker" 1 year and he can pretend to quit for another offer. We take on Ciraldo or my preference make an offer to Cooper Cronk!

While on that subject, other then Flanno (what on earth was he thinking lately, gone from a Yes to NO in my book). lets look:
Cooper Cronk
Ciraldo
Jonathan Thurston (likely cowboy for life, but also likely a good coach).
Laurie Daily

madge is meant to be the experienced coach that gets the basics right and steers us in a good path. He has failed in that respect. I want us to hire a good replacement. Madge however has failed.
A proven premiership winning player from a premier team, but has he been a premiership winning coach? or are you just suggesting he will win us the comp within 3 years?
 
SO... Assume the meeting didn't go ahead or Sheen gave the media a dummy.. 😉

Because if it did go ahead you would be hearing about it everywhere and the media have been silent today which is rear strange. Maybe Madge is staying .. Who knows but I still think the club should out it to bed..

A third review will take place in 3 months as nobody took the minutes at the first two.
 
I’m still recovering from the Royal Comission into Madge last year.

I made strong representations in writing to the club about keeping him and Pascoe's assistant got back to me saying it would be taken into account.

It wasn’t really broadcast that the mug fan could have their say.

To be honest, I probably had all the influence of a convertible car during a hail storm, they probably got back to me for politeness sake.

But I sent the corro to a third party on another forum for verification.

Then I got involved in a potential signing, but that ended badly lol. Don’t send me in to help out there unless you want failure.

Getting involved in club business, it’s a bit like dabbling in the occult!

Thanks for your thoughts cobra, appreciated as always.
I hope your spelling in your 'strong representations in writing' was better than your reply to COBAR 🙂 and the Royal COMMISSION 😉
Not having a go at You personally TSP...just your spelling.
And I'm not even tertiary educated 🤣.
I only got as far as 3rd year [in High School that is... not 3rd class in Primary School 🤣] in 1962.
 
What Woolfe did do, was convince a fair few players to turn down $30k a game during the World Cup for Aus and NZ to play for Tonga for virtually pocket change.

Woolfe had those blokes believing in what he was trying to do. I think that in itself is more than what Madge has achieved with this group in 4 years. There's a distinct lack of belief with nearly all of them bar Hastings.

Brooks went from a Daly M position winner at halfback as we're so often reminded to until he got dropped from the halfback role, wasn't playing at a level worthy of NRL. I blame a lot of that on the coach
I think that the Wests tigers supporters at least need to know what is happening. There is no club is there are no supporters but the club has been hush hush in so many areas over at least the past 3 to 4 years. Even a message such as "We will let our supporters know the latest developments in two weeks" would suffice.

Board members are playing rock-scissors-paper to determine who tells Madge it’s all his fault.

Nah they’ve done Rock Paper Scissors but they’re delayed as they can’t agree on if the scissors beat the rock or the rock beats the scissors. Meeting will be adjourned for another month

Anyway, how do you blokes presume I'm a Queenslander.
I'm from Cobar. If I played SOO I would be playing for N.S.W. and that's where my loyalty is.
I can't help it if I live in a state that has better weather, less pollution, less traffic, less overcrowded cities, cheaper and better accommodation and cheaper housing, better transport, better night life, less crime, better and uncrowded schools, easy going people, better entertainment, better football players per Capita, better beaches, great barrier reef, better defence personnel, better roads in the cities and cheaper living in general...... I'm sorry that I have to put up with all this but someone has to do it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and apart from all that, Cobar is in Queensland, Queensland's everywhere.

Weekend Read: Why Wests Tigers is the right spot for Cameron Ciraldo

Tigers definately have positives. Next few years we.will.be on the up.

Need the NRL team to win though because.the rest is academic .in terms of supporters.

Not having a shot at you. 🙂

The article says we are on the rise. If that's the case and a journo can see what's happening (a rarity I know), why would we be changing the coach who is part of that rise?

Stop it!

You are being much too sensible.
 
I think the club will stick it out with Madge , and I’m 50=50 on it , but he does deserve a shot with some good cattle coming in
Papi and API in our team this year on their form so far would have made a huge difference
Papi replaces Kel
Api replaces Liddell and Simpkins
this season would have been better
loose Lucy , throw in a fit Blore as he was early on and solid
