Need more of you in the world Lestronge.
Either way, TSP seems like a nice guy and probably just took my banter in the wrong way.

Mate this has gone on for 2 days. No one wants to read these petty clashes.
I can't for the life of me see how what I've said to you amounts to stalking or bullying, but fine, if you've taken it that way, my sincerest apologies, I honestly had no idea it made you feel that way. Can we move on now?

I would be the first to to eat humble pie if the Tigers won 7 ( even 4 in a row) with Benji at helm. Only thing is , I prefer to judge the future progress of Tigers on probability rather than possibility.
Just do not want to see a season shot down in the first 7 weeks any more. Like the last many years. We need to draw the line and sack coaches that fail. We will get right coach by trying different coaches. Can't just appoint a coach because he was a 2005 wonder.

Fair comments, but probability is he will be coaching for the first 7 games. That's what we're working with.
Remember we knee jerked to sign Madge, then ended up missing Bennett. We knee jerked to sign Sheens/Benji and missed Flanagan.
I just reckon we need to wait for the right coach to become available first.
Whatever happens Benji is not going to get the same free pass in the media that he got this year.
Your absolutely right. He has been a protected species with all his mates at Fox. Even Braif, who hates the tigers has not been critical of Marshall. If only Madge had that immunity, he may have been successful with the roster Marshall had.

I think benji will be a lot better next year hopefully with some extra help and this year's experience under hie belt
Sick of living in hope every year. Same old story. It's time to take action. Get an experienced coach who can mould a first grade team out of this improved roster.

watch Tiger Tales doco, you will change your assessment of Madge…his style does not resonate with young players…he Got lucky coaching a team of star players in this years SOO
Lucky also with NZ, I suppose and Souths title win?

I’ve been looking at
And there were times when his relationship was strained with Benji and they said he was getting hard to deal with.
Things have got worse in the coaching stakes since he was deposed. That’s a matter of fact.
There was a view that he deserved to see the year out at least but Lee said his biggest error was re-signing him after the dogs final game fallout.
Whether Lee was a good footy judge is of course questionable.
I’m not holding my breath.
Madge was supposed to be the coach to resolve things but as we know, Tim was imposed upon him, he had issues with Harto and eventually the board.

Agree with his style probably not resonating with younger, developing players.
Disagree he got lucky. Elite players (which tigers lack) respond quite well it seems.
wtf are you talking about ? if that exchange "triggers" you , or even if anything gets an emotional reaction that you would describe that way in the first place , than once again its a you problem.
If your feelings are hurt ? cool ! who cares ! then thats tough .
if your actually bullied , threatened , or something more nefarious than of course that matters .
But what youre describing is simply hurt feelings . And that is not barometer for anything .
Im not being a dick , no matter what you might think . Its a forum where healthy debate , bordering on unhealthy at times is not just encouraged , but honestly the forums life blood . Especially in the wake of a loss . Guys were losing it at each other mid game . let alone after that hammering .
I think you need perspective mate. thats all im saying . good luck to you

The current program, the youth policy, isn’t working as intended. I think that’s clear.
Bird signed for $400k, factory wages.
On my dodgy reckoning, we’ve still got money burning a hole in the pocket.
Bird is an aged utility, there’s probably a spot for him, but he doesn’t run as straight as he used to.
We still need sub marquees in the pack.

madge had lost the dressing room . There was soo many eye rolls in that documentary , i thought the players heads were about to implode . Madge was not the answer . Neither was sheens and benji has been given the hardest road possible to succeed. for this alone we should habve more patience .

That’s my point lol.
But he went on the record to say re-signing Madge was his worst mistake in charge of the club.
