Pascoe has made decisions without Madge’s knowledge Madge wasn’t in the cafe when Pascoe met with Roberts and he didn’t see him until he signed on with us he didn’t even know Daine was coming a year early should have corrected that he knew Daine was signed on but originally it was for this year he didn’t even know the club swapped him and Momo around until a few days before it was officially announced and Tamou while it seems he’s one of Madge’s supporters he originally wasn’t pursuing him that was Pascoe too I’m not defending Madge btw but trying to show that not everything that has happened in terms of recruitment is all on him he still will probably get sacked but I hope Pascoe is done with trying to sign players here and let Sheens take care of that now

All these players except Benji were enticed away from the Weststigers by lucractive payments, which we could not or would not match - due to our salary cap. The figures reported were way over what most ppl on this forum thought was fair value. I don’t blame the players one bit. I personally, would have offered Matterson more, like Weststigers did. However, Parramatta offered more over an extended period. He could not wait to be rewarded by our club. Go Weststigers!

Matto was only 1 year into a 3 year deal, legally he shouldn't have even been talking with other clubs let alone signing with them. He went from being a fringe first grader at Chooks to being a fringe Origin player in one season. He then valued himself much higher than the 3yr deal he signed. He seemed to also take exception to being asked to play when not fully recovered from injury.

Morris - Tigers I believe is going to happen
Madge - Bulldogs I doubt it most likely Ciraldo
Barrett - Assistant somewhere else I reckon as well

I agree i think Morris ends up here especially now Sheens is here, Ciraldo is a lock in at the dogs i reckon too Gus will mould him. Barrett is a pretender always has been and Madge no one on these shores will touch him again not for a very long time anyway.

Sheens was and probably still is a big fan of Morris he didn’t want to lose him as a player when he was with us but was stuck behind Farah smart footballer too so I reckon that’s why we have been linked to him is due to Sheens

Wouldn't matter who the coach is if we have a team that as you suggest are playing 30%,- 40% of their ability. If that doesn't emphasise why good players don't want a bar of us I don't know what does.

But they are training the house down.

Should pick up a few competition points for that.

A new coach, may be able to connect with them. If someone can light a fire within them, motivate them get back to 80-90% then that will steady the ship and help with recruitment. Madge cannot achieve this. He's been trying for 4 years and the players just get worse.

From where I stand it just amplifies why we are where we are. The good clubs move on players who can't give 100% because that is an attitude problem, and if we have a number of players who operate with a level of that mentality then we are setting up all our coaches for failure, and inviting other clubs to pick the eyes out of any players who want to achieve something better.

Hard to believe if any of that is true, but the biggest blooper of the lot was Pascoe bring his old mate Cleary over for the coaching job.

To be fair I suppose no one could have envisaged what a snake in the grass he turned out to be.

Fox Sport should do another series featuring West Tigers titled NRL's greatest ever bloopers.

Pascoe brought him in along with Roberts Madge wasn’t present when negotiations were happening same as when he went to training and Daine was there first day he didn’t even know who he was and why he was there Pascoe making those moves without his knowledge

Not defending Madge btw but Pascoe shouldn’t be doing these decisions

I think you would find it was Adam Hartigan not Pascoe making those calls. And it was Hartigan's job to do so, that's just the way they agreed to structure the football Ops.

Needed centres for years.
Needed second rowers for years, got some decent ones and we let em go... 😂

Need some props too come seasons endz, when majority of em walk out the door.

Our roster is in serious come 2023 unless we make some decent signings.

Why are the supporters not hearing anything from Pascoe, and Sheens about this most serious issue? Supporters derserve to know NOW what is going on and going to happen with this Kamikaze club.

P.S. I deliberately left out Madge because it is absolutely clear that he is on holding onto his lucrative contract for the next couple of years and doesn't want to disturb this comfortable situation with the truth.

After another quality showing today we would struggle to sign an under 15's player..
This is becoming a nightmare and we have Eels next ...
Can someone check to see if Sheen's is still with the club as he has been very quite the last 6 weeks.. They need to do something for us fans

Who is responsible for the Tamou purchase? Wasn't he bought to provide leadership?

Madge was responsible for signing Tamou. Tamou has continuously returned the favour by supporting Madge in everything Madge does and say. Unfortunately/fortunately Tamou is propping up his superannuation at Wests tigers expense.
