Coaches don't ever make mass sackings even after big losses - any clubs best players are still their best players win lose or draw.

Whos are our best players after two consecutive massacres?

The coach doesn't know, that is for sure


You seem to know everything, who are you replacing and with whom. It’s fine to come in here and rip in but you don’t seem to have too many positive ideas.

Sorry if I upset you precious, I don't give a rats if you don't agree.
Doueihi should be 6, Pauga in the centres, Simpkin on the bench, Lucy on the bench as an impact player, Mbye in reggies and that is just for starters

I don’t understand how Lucy hasn’t been dropped to the bench already, even live at games it’s clear as day he struggles with the defensive work load. Always slow to get back into line, no urgency etc.

I can only imagine Madge had either given him a rocket and a chance at redemption , or there are no capable replacements in reserve grade.

Redemption should be Madges nickname, or maybe Pastor Madge. hell if i know, maybe forgive and forget, because he won't drop or promote. The plan might be to sack the whole cup side, because he doesn't recognise them!

I hear there’s friction there between him and Pascoe, could this be part of it?

Madge saying “up yours I’m going to keep playing these guys you have given me to work with”

He seems to have stopped talking about the ‘belief in the team’

Something is sick in this club. Unless we can get another 3 quality fast backs, we can write off next year,as well as many fans.

Our problem is tackling mate, fast blokes would have got back to half way quicker and we would have conceded 90 points.

Quality backs don't open up like a clam in the sun. Seriously mate, the backline is terrible. Name me one player in the three quarters that would be signed by another club on their current money in their 1st gde side.

Doueihi and Noff would both be picked up by other clubs. The defensive issues we have are a result of a lack of line speed (attitude), and desire (playing for each other) right across the park. Other teams shouldn’t be able to just shift the ball effortlessly on tackle one or two, you are supposed to earn that right. The bulk of the tries against Melbourne were around Luciano and his centre but the guys inside them need to be working harder too. It’s over simplistic to just blame the guys who are standing out wide.

I agree with the fact that it was not just the guys inside. The forwards must share some of the blame. But it's as plain as the nose on your face,that sides find it easy to attack the Tigers edges. We have to stop overating some players. Laurie is not yet a top class FB, but great potential somewhere. AD is a good footballer who is hindered by his lack of speed. He has only played a few games at centre, 2 were ok and1 was terrible, his defence is poor. At 5/8 he was overated and stunted the attack. Nouffa has gone backwoods, JTJ has not shown anything much in attack, and bad in defence. JL will be gone,Mbye plays without heart.
You can kid yourselves into believing this is not the case, but next year AD , Mbye, JL, JTJ, will not be in the 13. AD will be the new 14. Just my opinion, and i think Madge is on shakey ground, but like everyone else iv'e been wrong before.

Lots to unpack there, some I think we agree on. Laurie and AD have been two of our best performers, even in the losses so I’ll continue to support them on here.

Laurie isn’t top class yet you are spot on but that’s not a knock on him, that’s a nod to the class of FB’s around, it’s the best position group I have ever seen in 40 odd years watching the game.

There’s a footy player in Noffa, just needs to get his head in the game.

I can’t defend anyone else you’ve mentioned.

Wow what a fall from grace for AD . Some had him as the future captain , now he’s got him not even in the run on squad. Not saying I don’t agree , or do for that matter , but yea , how quickly things can shift from one way to another .

The ebb and flows my friend...?

Talau deservedly dropped, but why aren't Luciano, Nofoaluma and Roberts afforded the same treatment?

Who would you replace them with? (genuine question)

Yes lack of cattle I'd say.

You wouldn't drop Luch I don't think for the backup options - it would put Amone back onto the bench you would think, and it's not as if Tom Amone has been playing top-notch football (he's doing fine but hardly a first-choice).

Another strange signing that one. Injured bloke who nobody had ever seen do much. Must have been a cheapie.

Maguire would have known him from Souths and before the injury he was playing firsts for Souths too. Good depth player. 17 his realistic position

Played a handful of games after Maguire left doubt there was much of a connection

Fair enough. Definitely a cheapie, good depth player.

Depth is good if you’ve got better players above them, can’t just keep signing other clubs back ups.

Talau suffered a shoulder injury against Parra

Then why was he selected to play Storm. Surely it's a coaches failure.


Desperation.. pretty sure he played with loads of pain and needled up.

Yet Tommy still puts his hand up for the toughest of runs and gets bagged mercilessly for his efforts as a result. For mine one doesn't ask relatively inexperienced youngsters to take the field against any opposition with injury, let alone a top team.

Remember AJ Kepaoa with a heavily strapped knee running on for the first game? Does anyone not worry about his subsequent long term injury? Was it avoidable?

I hope Seyfarth can maintain his energy. I fear that the WT system will eventually wear him down.

At least Alex has energy, enthusiasm and wants to be there ..
And good to see him starting

Yessir.
I wasn't being disrespectful.

Thought we were just naming players who played 9 for the Tigers.

Masada was alright by me and I was saddened when I read the news.
