So he's not responsible for recruitment or the poor performances on the field. What is he responsible for?

hes not responsible for anything, he is truly untouchable and none of the clubs results from this year or the two years prior have anything to do with him, didnt you know?

The whole joints a mess mate. I don't think you can even point the finger at one particular thing or person. Madge is definitely to blame, so are the players, so is Pascoe and the list could just keep going and going. They are all responsible for how screwed up we are.

The thing is, you have to have 30 players on the books. You have to make choices. Madge was set a task to rebuild after the joint was practically burnt to the ground. To get to the 30, he signed a couple of stop gaps that may or may not have worked, ie: BJ, JTJ, etc. His priority signings were AD, DL, Simpkin, Simpkins, Blore and all the other 19 and 20 year olds who will be stars ( hopefully ) in a year or two ( or three ). Look at the improvement in Seyfarth from last season. Tamou is here for two years to help those guys along. Good move. Joffa is also a great signing, experience and grit for low dollars. Madge has a modicum of patience, unlike most forumers, and confidence in his long term plan. The team he won the comp with at Souths was built around two stars in Sam Burgess and Greg Inglis, but Adam Reynolds was only a two season veteran, Dylan Walker season and a half, Johston, Gray, Koriasu rookies....he know's how to put a side together.

Your job as a coach is primarily a man manager, to get the best out of the players and ensure success on the field
You can blame the players, but the coach is responsible for their attitude, he has assembled them, he is responsible for their performance

we couldve got capewell when he left the sharks, look at him now
Yet the Tigers are not in discussions with him now (Broncos, Cowboys), now he has separated from his Qld fiancé surely the Tigers should have crack

I reckon that’s spot on. You can only give money to people willing to take it.
I think there’s probably plan A, B, C and D and we’re probably operating around the C level in terms of the calibre of players who agree to sign. That’s why when I read comments about Madge re signing players that many say are “his signings” I also think in some cases it might well be the lesser of two evils. At the end of the day we have to spend the cap and we have to have the squad filled by a point in time. Doesn’t make it anymore palatable though as a long suffering supporter.

some good common sense points.
so many people say just sign smith/fifita/jac like it's a foregone conclusion that if we offer enough money they'll play for us but it really isn't that simple, and if it was then are they the types of players we want at our club because the first sniff of more money (matterson/aloiai) they're unhappy and out the door.
we need to build that culture that makes people want to play for us, and unfortunately it won't happen overnight or with high priced veterans. we need a good core group of young goers that play for each other not an oversized pay packet.

To me it seems like we have the players to support 2 or 3 marquee players really well.
Our issue is we haven’t been able to attract the main event players a team needs to compete.
Add Tedesco, Moses and say Pangai or Grant to this team and we are a different beast.
We tried to get star power with Latrell and Addo Carr, but it didn’t happen.
We’ll land a star eventually. Just need to be patient.

It sounds counter intuitive but I feel a bit nervous when I hear we’re gonna be cashed up for next season because unless you can replace everyone off contract with somebody better your end up where you are. That’s why we’ve got to have something appealing to compete with other clubs. Let’s hope there’s some kind of visionary whiz salesperson in our recruitment team that can sell ice to Eskimos because it’s a hard pitch to get them to the Tigers.

Unfortunately, we may be too far gone for that given our lack of finals appearances. Especially with Hartigan not willing to pay overs.
The only path I can see is to build from within and find junior stars in our pathways.
