Madge kept buying crap like bj, jimmy the jet, Tamou etc.The place was on the nose and so was his coaching. Sheens has turned it around and I expect major improvement next year under his leadership.

Ok
Madge was part of a recruitment ‘panel’
How much was JTJ, Tamou etc signed for $150,000 & $250,000 ??

Sheens answers to no one as he is also head of football
What dollars is Sheens playing with ??
Bateman $700,000 (guess)
Klemmer $750,000 +
(balance of newcastle contract in 2023)
Ferrari $500,000
(balance of Penrith contract for 2023)
Moses $1.25 mill (possible)

Sheens has been sacked from his last 3-4 clubs because of his ‘leadership’. If there is improvement in 2023 it will mainly be because of the cattle, the cattle able to be bought with the cap space available.

We will never know what Madge could have done with recruitment with all this available money, he was sacked by the new coach 🙄, the new coach because he failed to get Ciraldo
He also dumped Noddy in a no win situation by releasing players and telling anyone that would listen (including the current players) he was mainly aiming for 2025 - 2022 season over

Sheens is not the Messiah, just someone who has the coaching position at the most opportune time to buy quality cattle

But I’m hopeful despite my opinion that the tigers have a great year 🤞for all the supporters who watched the debacle overseen by sheens last year

Teddy is absolutely world class and some would say the best in the world, bit silly to let bitterness get in the way of logic. If we were a remote chance we should pursue it.

Yeah probably should have said he might see it as a backward step and might be dirty. Still you get my concern there?

Madge was crap. Get over it. He'll go down in history alongside Jason Taylor and Terry Lamb as our all time worst coaches

Uto, Pole and Twal will also bring some toughness. It'd be a solid team and you then just hope the even younger blokes like Matamua and Kautoga kick on for 2024 season.

I can not wait to see Matamua with an off season I saw some footage of him playing halfback in the lower grades and has an amazing long cut out pass could be a Tod Payton Glenn Stewart Wade Graham type of player and has a kicking game if someone goes down mid game in the halfs he will step up

You conveniently left out Bj , peachy etc. Between Bj, the jet and Tamou that would have been a million from our cap on absolute crap. You can spin it however you want, the Madge years were a massive failure and so was his coaching. The club is finally making inroads and that is thanks to Sheens. There is still more work to do but all the moves have been positive rather than hope under Maguire. Fancy thinking blokes like Jimmy the jet, Peachy and Bj were going to turn this club around. Sheens knows what’s required - I’ll leave it to him.

This is the NRL, not a savings account.

Ok, obviously you have a serious Madge crush going on and you’re not dealing well with his failure or giving Sheens any credit for his recruitment successes. I don’t really care who coaches the side, I just want progression and hope. Under Madge there was none. In fact we got worse every year. It’s a results driven job and he failed so he had to go. End of story.
Right now, things look great in comparison and you’re sulking..?
Are you a Tigers supporter or Madge’s manager?

You can't say Sheens turning up and 12 months later the roster is overhauled and we have some sense of direction is just good timing

Ok let’s do
BJ
signed by the recruitment ‘panel’ because we were desperate for a centre who could create opportunities - fail

Peachy
Signed by the recruitment panel to be the utility - fail

What was the name of the recruitment ‘guru’ we got from the roosters that got punted when Sheens appointed McDonald . He pulled the strings for recruitment

Madge 3 players for $1 mill 🤔, now Sheens can spend $2.1 mill on 3 players

Now you failed to comment on sheens sacking for his failures at previous clubs, how could that be possible if he is the messiah or is he just another Madge but with more money to buy improvement ?

Four major things a side needs;-
1- Grunt ;- Klem, Paps, Pole, Stef, Offa, Blore etc should do the job.
2- Playmakers ;- Brooks, Laurie/AD, Api, better then 22, with Api, but still a worry.
3- Speed;- still up in the air, need Stains, Tupoa,Naden and Kepoa , to fire.
4- Kicking game ; Terrible in 22, ; coaching staff must get the halves spending many hours at training, and the side taught to buffer the kickers.

Just spot on.

Grunt meant our 2022 campaign was ruined. We have hired the right people at least.

Playmakers, it's like Now there is Zero excuses for the fifth year running. At least we have a known good hooker, and a halfback that at least once upon a time could perform.

Speed? Sheens will likely sort this out 2023 or 2024. We are going to play fast footy that is guaranteed.

Yes yes yes. Our kicking game has been way off and I believe Brooks is our only known kicker. That said you have both Robbie and Benji around.

I still cannot believe Jason Taylor who was one of the best kickers before Hasem El Mazri and just after Darryl Harrigan ... DID NOT TEACH OUR TEAM HOW TO KICK!
Easy 2 points forgotten.

Madge wasn't a massive failure.
However he did not bring the bacon. I am glad Madge came to our club and I wish him well.

Yet by 2022, it was ground hog day. Same tactics, same playbook, same loss.

BJ, Peachy all failed. I will still defend James Roberts. He has a stack of faults but he tried, sadly he did loose his speed. Would be glad to buy that guy a beer.

The under 500k signing from Madge were pretty good. Stefano, Twal, Joe O.

Then come 2022 it goes crazy with Oliver Gildart, clearly we were muscling up in the middle then decide to import a british lightweight.. NOPE.

Either way agreed with Tiger tragic. We have better signings now and we know Klemmer will work well with Sheens.
