By the way.. that 4 wins was in 13 rounds..

Compare that to the 10 wins in the 70 or so rounds since he has been sacked.. Madge didn't even get a go with his first proper big money recruitments in Api & Papali'i.

Thats not me saying Madge is our solution, I don't know how I feel about the suggestion. I do know that he would of gotten a lot more than 10 wins in this time though... but maybe we would of kept Brooks and not signed Luai? 😂

i agree. i reckon we wouldve won more -- but maybe not have signed luai

madge wouldve kept hastings with api tho.... who knows. i reckon we'd be like the Knights -- in and around the 8 - but with luai now we have a chance at top 4.

The Bateman battle will be interesting. He doesn't want to be here but he wants his money. The end result is ugly imo. Tiger need to hold him to everyone else's standards. Training at rhe start of preseason no mid season breaks, set serious expectations or play him on reggies

Let's be honest if our other players worked as hard as Bateman we would be top 8. We complain standards are too low then complain about keeping a bloke who has made his career on setting high standards

agree... bateman, sullivan, naden, taking up like $1.6M between them

then we have olam, douehi on about $1M - with no certainty that their knees are going to be ok next year.

would be great to have $2.6M to spend on 3 guns ($800K) plus a junior/ toiler ($200-$300K)

Probably crazy but Tom Opacic is someone I’d be looking at giving a small but guaranteed contract.

Just a centre that does his job by giving the ball to the winger and makes his tackles. Instead going to Brisbane for a train and trial

Agree that pre-season is mandatory. If he doesn’t turn up, then grounds for terminating his contract ( hopefully WT aren’t dumb enough to allow him the pre-season off)
