Hard to keep that one under wraps.
If the players need to know who the coach is going to be you’d expect them to keep that news to themselves. Hah!

Yeah?
How many Finucanes, Hynes, TPJs, McInness are off contract currently?

granted the market is dry at the moment but there's always a possibility that a player comes available. no one will even consider us until there's a permanent coach in place.

It’s also been made apparent to somebody that I know that he’s our first preference. Would be necessary that he renege on Penrith’s offer, and agree to be here no later than 2023.
If these terms cannot be negotiated then Morris’ in. Junior pathways looking good and fair cap to spend

Same as Madge?
@Lee's fedora the man. Better strike rate than Bryce or jordy

Man every single job ever has people like that in them . Champion blokes , hard workers m but not getting the job done yo whatever measure that’s being applied . Its not fair , but especially in situations like this , how can anyone be sure that this isn’t the right decision , including the playing group.
Surely there’s a thought in the back of their head wondering if the game day tactics are the right ones , especially because we lose all the time . Or if the bloke next to them is the right player etc. Especially if at training , like Tamou said, the the execution is there and everyone is putting in .
I think it’s simple minded to just say ,Madge is my coach that’s it. I mean what if Noddy walks in there today and says we are changing X game plan , and on the weekend we put 60 on them. As an extreme hypothetical . At what point do the players loyal as all get out start to ask the right questions .
Everything above except confirming Ciraldo is the post.

I’m sad the players couldn’t get the results for a champion in Madge . Or that the club failed him in whatever facet . But at the end of the day , the drums are beating loudly that we are a basket case , and at what point does the NRL start to look at licensing .
, regardless of things like the COE or whatever . We need to win . And we need to set up the future . Winning has to be 1A and development 1B . They need to go hand in hand . And Madge , and taylor , to a lesser extent potter , just haven’t been getting the job done .
and most were the wrong choice. including Madge , as the way he left south’s had huge question marks around him, most notably that he couldn’t delegate and cared too much that it gave him blinkers and at times struggled to see the forest from the trees .
Did it drive Matto out , did it drive Josh out , you could say they were both shit humans but yea . What about Momo . He’s another 1 who was meh to madges coaching , but liked him as a bloke from the stories out there . It Could all be bullshit , and probably is , but we were all worried that he was the right coach at the wrong time . And that turned out to be true unfortunately.
Don't disagree with any of that mate - But I can't assume (Or anyone can)
How they feel about someone, Or how someone was treated.
And maybe a few wins might change their mind...
But there is also an ultimate downside to your extreme hypothetical yeah...
What happens if we fall in a heap and get lapped by 60 in the next 12 games after Madge and Noddy change it up...
My response to someone that said they can't see Jacko leaving just because Madge is sacked...
The reality is he came to play for Madge and we're only 50/50 keeping him at best with Madge here and not winning.... Now, I certainly see him leaving - Not that it concerns me greatly...
My point is Madge and Jackos relationship might not mean anything to us - but might mean the world to Jacko and a bunch of other players...
I just watched Sheens and Noddys presser. Sheens made reference to not having spoken to any prospective coaches out of respect for Madge, also thought his phone would be running hot today. If what he is saying is true, I can see this going bad for us with 2 other teams without coaches for next year, and what's to say Newcastle and Titans don't add to the merry-go-round shortly either.

Yea I know im being blasphemous right now , but I think the big reason we are going so well in attack has less to do with Hastings at 7 and more to do with brooks at 6. And to clarify that , what I mean is , it pushes him wider , and shows how we needed someone hyper focused on organising the middle and someone else the backs . It’s more a blueprint moving forward on what we should do .
But His edge defence is not strong IMO, whilst his first contact is . Which means IMO he’s way more suitable to the middle . He poses limited threat running the ball as well . His organising is great , and his chip is world class , but his long kicking game is average . I’m not trying to be hyper critical , but if we find a way to play him at 13 and maximise his strength which is his organising skills , and leadership that would be most ideal .
But that’s not to say there isn’t a player out there who can do those things .
I’m just not panicking like many on here . AD is the one we need to keep. He genuinely bleeds black white and orange , and his loyalty is to the tigers I think first and foremost . We have to remind him how important he is to the club.
He's got a football brain, And He talks well on the field...
For the moment, I don't care if he touches the ball at all.
As long as his head is out there and he's talking.
Our other players haven't got a football IQ between them

Agree .
Which to me indicates we need true leadership . Not blokes who can lead a pub crawl , but lead on the field . And I think our idea of what a leader is , ie. the bloke who’s first into the sack ville , is the wrong type of leader .
I like Hastings and he’s doing a job , but I don’t think losing him is a loss , if we can replace his leadership. And identifying those qualities in someone else , who to be honest is more dynamic at this point. It’s just does that person exist I guess .
I don’t think we will get flogged by 60 just quietly . For sheens to pluck the pathways coach and basically jump all the flegg, magpies , and nrl assistants means IMO he’s seen something .
But hey I could be totally wrong . And with this club I probably am LOL Urgh !!

Brooks .. so far NO Tigers coach has been able to get the best out of Brooks .. so let's appoint a former NRL, State Of Origin and Australian half back as our interim coach .. !! If anyone will be able to get our number 7 firing it should be and hopefully Kimmorley .. !! Brooks has the talent .. it's just finding the key that opens up all the talent .. !!
Guess we will just have to wait and see if Kimmorley can get Brooks firing or not.
If Brooks goes and ends up at a team .. say they Dolphins .. I'm pretty sure that Uncle Wayne will be able to get the best out him .. !!
