Michael Maguire leaves club

[TieDye]

I'm just gonna state this because I honestly don't wish to blurt it out during an heated exchange or any miscommunication, but I'm honestly going through a lot right now. So apologies if there's some issues with the layouts of my posts.
My whole world has been turned upside since I lost the man I shared my first kiss, hopes and dreams and life with.
I've usually been lurking more than posting - worried how the floods have impacted others - and despite the WTF not always being the most pleasant place it's been most comforting for someone that feels as broken as me right now.
Even the silly squabbles on here are entertaining and bring me some type of joy. Thanks to @batboy @PJ @Demps @Merlot and @hobbo1

The chaos on here has been great for helping me cope with any emotions I'm feeling right now and any pain I feel is automatically replaced by pain for supporting this team.
Thanks if your reply was constructive feedback on the constructions of my posts, if it was otherwise some of you people sound a lot worse off than me (which is actually an attempt of a joke, if that's not clear enough).

Well said Lauren, and apologies if it came at a bad time or anything above is still having you feel pinned down by life. I’ve been there and am hoping and praying my footy team will be successful again soon, as if the two were somehow linked (life and footy).

Nothing prepares you for losing that very special first person who you’ve fallen for, and even worse when they decide not to catch you.

All my thoughts and prayers, Godspeed to you 🤍

Like many dysfunctional families, we don’t always agree but we are all here for the same reasons. Sorry to hear you are hurting right now. Don’t feel you need to apologise. We all have something going on in our lives and the WTF should be the least of your worries. Happy you can find some release here. Look after yourself. We need your intelligent insight!

I'm so sorry for your pain Lauren. I don't know you but recall trhat you're a recent Mum. I hope you have the support around you that you need but, if you don't, please reach outfor it. You will be surprised and heartened by the number of people who are ready to support you in your time of need.

The WTF All star team 🌟

Sorry to hear about what you're going through @Lauren
No words as it's a situation words cannot heal however I am happy you can find some enjoyment in the general chit chat on here.

Thoughts are with you during this tough time and I'm sure you're aware you got a network on here who are always readily available for a vent, a chat, a joke or some footy trash talk.

Keep your head up....

I like Madge but he has proven to be continually poor in two things.
Firstly, and I think most would agree, he doesn’t seem great at his use of the bench.
Second is his unshaking belief in some players in the hope they will come good… and not being able to punish, or move them on, sufficiently when they don’t.
Fix those and he fixes a lot.

Also tactically wise he still thinks it is 2014 - he hasn't adjusted well to the rule changes that have sped up the game

Weird, worked for me. Try again.

Burgess reveals how he nearly lost his eye

How even blowing his nose could've proved costly

wwos.nine.com.au

Its not a nuanced discussion. It is actually very basic and straightforward. The Doctor said "'Well I just need you to warn you that you could lose your eye if you take a collision to it. And don't blow your nose.'. ...A medical doctor warned that a consequence of playing on was losing an eye. Madge said no worries. Not any nuance required.

The injury was much worse than they thought. He had two fractures to his cheekbone and fractured his eye socket as well. Sam Burgess, Dr Andrew Macdonald and Michael Maguire are all very lucky. Mind you this is the same Doctor that prescribed Burgess liquid valium as a tranquiliser in his father in laws name, so duty of care might not be his strong point.

Hits keep coming for Sam Burgess as authorities probe Souths doctor

The hits keep coming in the Sam Burgess saga with authorities confirming a formal investigation is underway into claims involving the chief doctor of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

www.dailymail.co.uk

What ever happened about that investigation that the police and supposedly the Health Care Complaints Commission were having a close look at?

I must have missed that one but apparently all is well and Summy has been restored back to his previous position at Souffs like nothing has ever happened, not sure about the doctor and where he is up to, but I would guess that it is business as usual as well.

I'm generally not one to jump to conclusions and have someone hung drawn and quartered before all the evidence is presented and they've had the benefit of defending themselves but gee that matter seemed to conveniently disappear without too much being said about it.

Funny though how the Burgess family name keeps popping up when it comes to controversial matters, but I guess that would simply be because there are so many of them that statistically you would expect them to be in the news every so often.

My apologies for wandering off topic, back to you Madge.

Sheens knows Madge is almost certainly here only until the end of 2022 when Madges KPIs (ie make final 8) void his contract for next season at no/minimal. cost..to club
.....so Sheens will distatnce himself both from 2022 coaching and results ,but continue to recruit quality players to build around a committed core of Hastings,Douhie,Api,Papali,Mamalo ,Stefano next season,with maybe the odd junior or 3 hopefully) emerging.
Its yet another rebuild with yet another new coach inevitably,but unlike previous ,this ones already well on its way, orchestrated by Sheens in the backround,whilst Madge bats on coaching in 22 managing at times some calamatous results...again.After 4 years,Mostly of his own making btw
Season end termination of coach also gives us time to time to recruit Kristian Woolf,far and away the best coach in ESL for 2-3yrs now and wants to come home having done everything over there and a superb job with Tonga in World cup(and actually attracy some players rather than repel them)
It will all gradually fall into place,but weve gotta get thru another miserable year,plus work out how we offload under favorable terms (for us) the serial underperformers that really dont want to be here and are negatively impacting our culture and performance on field ..ie Brooks/Laurie/Noffa.,all whom have long term contracts(+ Joffa who leaves at year end,)
You can punt Peachy too..exactly the type of atitude we didnt need...and I doubt whether all 85kgs of Gildart is finding NRL a walk in the park and may return to UK at year end
Liddle will leave as Api has taken his slot..maybe Simpkin too.Neither are NRL quality
So changes are coming,but pragmatics of avoiding huge payout to incumbent coach ,hiring the right one when he becomes available later in the year,and removing dead wood from the playing group all take time
We'll see how good Mr Sheens really is in this hands-off rebuild role.Done great so far in attracting some quality players,but much more needs to be achieved,not unlike what the Dogs did

Finally some vision,

I think the above is why Maguire looks so lifeless in the press conferences. He knows he more than likely gets punted if they miss the 8 and realises no-one thinks we can make the 8. Bookies have us at $1.04 to miss the 8

So he should be punted, whether the squad is good enough or not. What other coach goes 4 years without finals and keeps their job? The only other coach I can think of is Sheens 06-09, but at least he had 05 to lean on.

Hey Lauren
I’m really sorry to hear and please my condolences for your recent loss. It’s the memories of good times and life together that helps to keep most of us going after loss of a partner or a close friend.
Stay strong and please look after yourself at such difficult time.

Hi Lauren, I'm sorry to learn of your loss and big hugs from three WTs' supporters in our household.. My sons lost their mother who died at Calvary Hospital this week. I am grateful for the fine care she received from all staff and my sons take comfort in that knowledge. Best wishes.
