Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TillLindemann]

As much as we all hate Ivan we have to put a lot of that blame and accountability on Pascoe for blindly allowing his imbecile mate to make whatever dud signings he wanted.

I don’t remember anyone complaining at the time. Ivan was a God to the supporter base and could not get arrested in Tiger town. Suddenly, everyone is a revisionist when it comes to his time here.

I was very optimistic when he came, but the results speak for themselves - in chasing short term success he completely screwed us long term. And he didn't even get the short term success!

You'd have to wait until a decision is made about a QLD team for 2023 before targeting Bennett, as he's already made it clear he's going back to QLD.

The sad reality is there are not many coaches around that are available. That's why the Dragons ended up with Griffin and the Warriors with Brown.

Bring him out of retirement $$$$$$$

I think he's too old to care about money at this stage.

Get Uncle Wayne on deck with Farah his side kick. Two people with passion who are ultra competitive. After the two years, Farah walks into the head coach role. Call me crazy but Farah is a natural coach in the makings

I would prefer that we keep Farah at arms length in respect to a coaching appointment. Just let him continue to run the water bottle. Can't get into too much trouble doing that.

An uneasy coincidence that Madge survived 2 years before Farah was handed the water bottle.

In all seriousness the boys club's celebration of failure lives on

If Madge gets the boot which I think is very unlikely due to his 2 years remaining on his contract I am open to Wayne Bennett. Weather he could work with Sheen's is another thing but having 2 old heads working together could work.
A lot of people say when Wayne leaves a club he normally leaves the place is a mess etc...
But in our situation I cannot see how he could do this when we are a mess anyway.

Wayne coming here would bring instant calmness about the place and he will attract quality players 100%.
He would come in and remove all the dead wood within 12 months and put the right people around him to succeed.We all know this would be a short term deal for like 2 years but that would give us the opportunity to have a coach come in and develop under him before he leaves.

If Madge goes he is the man we need to chase as CC will not leave Panthers for this rubble as his 1st top job..

I think the chance of Madge being our coach by round 1 next year is close to zero.

I don't know .... Its a lot of money to just throw away and have to spend more to get another coach especially if they go for a Bennett coach as his not cheap
time will tell

We only have to pay him out one year so ~400k?

Jeez have you been living under the rock? How is it very unlikely he’ll be sacked 😂

My first sentence should answer that.. Money.
2 years left on contract PLUS add the cost for another couch is not cheap..

I am grateful for small mercies ! MCK always had a go at least good luck.

Fair chunk of cap space freed up there.

Ah I see Brooks is so short you can’t see him in this pic. Yeah that must be it…

Thank You from the club?

Shouldn't those players be saying thank you to the club for the opportunity to be the most over paid under achievers Inn the history of Australian sport

They would've been lining up at centrelink if it wasn't for WT

 

[Eyeofthetiger 0]

Does that mean they are retaining Jimmy Roberts?
