No doubt the recruitment of both players would a be a big win especially when competing with the Dolphins.

J’maine Hopgood has been mentioned on the forum as a Tiger’s target. Have you heard any talk of that?
We lost against the Dogs in the final round of 2021.
Expectations are low for this one.
Maybe with Brooks out, we won't see a repeat of what he did last time which had many claiming he was talking.
Hard game with all our injuries.
Hopefully effort and attitude from 2022 is displayed.
Probably can't happen now - He's hit next level pay grade.
18 Months ago, You could afford to trial him there... Wouldn't cost you too much, And you'd be granted the time to experiment.
Now, There's a perception of where he should play by all and sundry - And he's on a fair wicket - Kinda beyond experimenting wicket....
I've been calling for it since he couldn't get a start at 6 at the Panthers...
He's body shape really could be something back there... He'd need to get his miles / fitness up...
I'd pay to see it happen. Here especially....

I am probably one of the most negative people on this forum, but I have seen enough change in our club this year to give Madge a go next year with a far better roster. Iam sure if the injury gods had been kinder and the likes of Sutton,Gee and a few others had been hit by a cement mixer we would be boarder line top 8 now.
Bit of a reverse Lockyer.
Lethal running game.
Would love to see him running up the kick returns.
Burton is a weird one eh....
Looked a star at the Panthers, as a centre.
Off to the Dogs, has been mehh.. good kicking game.
Apparently wants to go back to Panthers ?
To be what, a centre? A #14 ?
Wants to test the market?
Could go anywhere really....
As a centre.
Might need to think about what's best for his career, not for his own personal ambitions of playing 6.

Agree.
Have a squiz at what happened to the Storm with high number of injuries in the roster.
Nor Bellamy not the sacred one can achieve results when that hits the club and particularly one like ours.
We are showing a spark of life with what players we have left and not using that and poor refereeing as reason for results.
Coach and players are taking responsibility and I think we should applaud that.
Hey champion @supercoach - mate, your posts are real but I would never say negative.
What are you talking about i dont participate? Ive been part of the forum since circa 2002 back in its early days. Kul does an amazing job. Willow was a power hungry Joseph Stalin

I don’t know if it is Madge who has turned the team around but what I do know is our defense over the last 3 years was damn awful and getting worse each year.
In comes Cayless from the Roosters system and all of a sudden our defense has improved light years.
Whoever brought in Cayless needs congratulating.

Ice + Api, who are confirmed....
Criton, rumoured.
Tapine, Doorey and Topine.
Our pack will be red hot.

Agree 100% ..
This year we have had a whole different attitude and you can see it in the players.
I cannot recall a team having this many injuries like this (Roosters last year but they still had like 5 rep players still in the team due to no salary cap) and for what is left I think we are doing very well. I also think if we had a full team we would have won another 3-4 games.
Madge deserves to stay and play this out and if he doesn't perform next year with all the new quality players then move him on..
I vote for Madge like Hastings
I assume you are across the end of year review comments and what feedback was given to madge and why the assistants were appointed? and Madge's response? I'll bet no answer to this one

I understand the need for corporate confidentiality and no doubt you are well aware a supporter is not privy to that information. I also understand the posts on this forum which attempt to link a player signing with the club to the coach's tenure are divisive and unprofessional. Let the coach's fate be determined by results.

Mate I get down and very negative with our club, especially over the past few years..but I like what I am seeing at present, even if it’s not transferring into wins. For the first time in yonks there seems real spirit in the place

I remember a few years ago the general gist from players is they wanted to play for Madge, but they didn't want to play for the Wests Tigers at the time. Now that we have become a bit more stable, players are showing their interest.
