Not sure why he's talking about last week's game as successful. We didn't play that well. Not getting flogged by good teams who play badly is not enough ambition.
 
Honestly if you walked in tomorrow as new leader of the club who wouldn’t you sack?
I'd love to clear the most of the joint out and sign stars. Oh hang on, my names not Phil Gould. At least the bulldogs fans have a competing team this year. Broncs vs Bulldogs game was next level compared to our game.

First player gone, Brooks then Nofa, then the rest of the team.
 
Ben Gardiner is one option but there’s also Kristian Woolf who is off contract after this year I think it’ll be one of those 2 that get the job if we do have a new coach for 23, Ciraldo I doubt will leave Panthers to come to Tigers you can bet Ivan has been in his ear plus from what I heard we tried for him already and he said no, Tigers didn’t trust Flanagan to not even hire him as an assistant coach for us after what happened last time he was coach, it could be someone else that gets the job but I’m leaning towards either Gardiner or Woolf if Madge isn’t coach for 23
Yes to woolf.

There's just no accountability in the joint.


Who's sheens accountable to?, pascoe done nothing for football since he has been here but gets constent pats on the back, players play ordinary and still get picked.

Board and Lee are a joke


The structure of the place is just all out of wack
 
Players haven't been playing for him for some time now. Getting worse each season with Madge. If it were me he'd be punted asap... But can't see WT doing it this early (unfortunately)
 
Our current roster, coupled with 5 long term injuries was always going to be a real chance of the spoon and I don’t think anyone could change much.

In saying that sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go down a different path and that time is probably now. Not sure if many big names would be interested in the gig. John Morris is a guy I would look at, I think with Sheens as a mentor they could do ok
 
No NRL player gets to this level without being capable of the basics. But this team isn’t. This team lacks the self belief they are capable of winning. Madge says every week - I know what they are capable off, this is a very talented football team. Maybe in practice but not on game day… it’s pretty clear they don’t do that.

I remember In a purple spot Ivan once said. - we practice winning everyday at training we have small drills and games and we practice winning - we then bring that expectation to the game.. I think that’s a great mindset because winning is contagious in a team environment and so is losing.

I think we need a fatherly figure coach that nurtures a team as a coach over a super competitive coach that pushes a team to their limits. So a Bennett, Cleary Robinson style over a Bellamy, Madge, Flanagan, Stuart.

Hopefully sheens will be caretaker early in the season. It’s the perfect out for tigers management. If sheens was coach from the get go it would be another case of tigers going backwards. If the caretaker role works out no one will complain. If it doesn’t then they will counter with Madge wasn’t working and they don’t accept mediocrity (again)
 
Madge, they aren’t listening to you, they haven’t been for a while. They are not improving, nothing is changing and the young guys coming through are useless.
The stress just aint worth it man, go get an easy payday overseas.
Yep - I don't know how he is sleeping at night. If the organisation was going backwards under my leadership, however hard I try, I would have to leave for the sake of my physical and mental health.
 
Madge is done. Living in Germany I've invited friends who know nothing about Rugby League over to share in the misery that is supporting this team. 3 or 4 different people have said why don't they play as a team? It just looks like individuals out there doing their own thing. That has to reflect directly on the coach.

He's had 4 years and this team has not shown one shred of consistent improvement. Nor has Madge demonstrated his ability to innovate or to improve the way this group plays. Tough call, but we've got to bite the bullet.
 
We have 5 captains we don’t need a coach
5 player coaches are better than 1 head coach 🤣
I mentioned in the live game thread. For where we are and have been on the ladder for so many years, naming 5 captains makes us look like an even bigger clown show. How Madge can not see how this would make us look is baffling.
