We've had one good win. Let's just win some games and not worry about the ladder.We're only 4 points out atm. A few more wins and we're right in amongst it. I'm hoping there's a signing out of left field that improves the squad, I'm pretty gutted Joffas gone he always put everything into the jersey, that's all anyone can ask.
Would love to see a lot of 2005 footage of robbie.If Robbie was playing in his prime today, he'd be playing 80 on Wednesday night.
Might shock you some of that earlier footage....Would love to see a lot of 2005 footage of robbie.

He was an ordinary defender early on.
I agree but only did it to point something out, not that I think he is near Potters or Madges level of coach. He's nowhere near as good.It's an insult to Madge and Potter to lump them in with Taylor. Taylor is close to the worst man managers in the history of sport. There's a reason his South's team punched his face in
In the case of mbye, packer, Reynolds, matulino the contracts were huge and long for very poor players, no club would go near those contracts and those players were so poor that they knew riding it out in reserve grade collecting their salaries was about their only option.How is it that guys like Sheens, Bennett and Gould, can just move players on whenever they see fit to begin rebuilding their squads instantly. Yet Other coaches like Maguire, Potter and Taylor had to ride contracts out, I always wondered what the diffrence was, is it the coaches themselves or is it the board room giving or not giving coaches free reign over the roster. If anyone has any insight in to how it might work it would be appreciated. I just can't work out why some coaches can and others can't.
Luke Thomson,certainly didnt let them push him out of a good contract/coin.Hope Doueihi goes the same way as MatulinoIn the case of mbye, packer, Reynolds, matulino the contracts were huge and long for very poor players, no club would go near those contracts and those players were so poor that they knew riding it out in reserve grade collecting their salaries was about their only option.
You can offload average overpriced average players but we were stuck with those players. Gould is great at getting rid of players, but not even he can get rid of Luke Thompson.
That period of recruitment under Cleary and Pascoe was THE WORST recruitment by any team I've ever seen. They got duped, overpaid and accepted toxic contracts from other clubs while losing our best talent. They couldn't have done worse if they were trying to destroy the club and the biggest factor in our recent terrible seasons is that period.
Madge obviously struggled to connect and build the team, but he left the club a lot better off than he found it. I'm not lamenting or sooking about his sacking but I always felt this year was going to be the one where you could properly judge his coaching given how horrendous cleary-pascoe's recruitment was.
Tigers recruitment has been limited by our lack of appeal, but they've mostly bought well or taken a risk on players who didn't work out with only short term contracts recently.
Best attacking hooker ever.
I’d rather watch Robbie play footy than some boring schmuck who passes the ball to someone else who can play.Best attacking hooker ever.
That is very harsh on Matulino as soon as he knew he could no longer compete at FG he took a medical retirement to help the club (he had integrity).I agree with the rest of what you saidIn the case of mbye, packer, Reynolds, matulino the contracts were huge and long for very poor players, no club would go near those contracts and those players were so poor that they knew riding it out in reserve grade collecting their salaries was about their only option.

Respect Madge,but he inherited 9th place and left us in 16th...
Results matter
He had the skill set that most current hookers would dream of. I remember seeing him run, dummy then kick ahead from his side of half way for Hodgson to catch on the bounce and run away and score. What modern hooker could do that or would even try it? To be honest, I couldn't quite understand the fuss about Cameron Smith. Yes, he was a great leader and organiser but, to my mind his greatest talent was manipulating the refs to his team's advantage. For pure talent, Farah had no peer.I’d rather watch Robbie play footy than some boring schmuck who passes the ball to someone else who can play.
Watch tales.of tiger townMadge left us in 13th place,since then the club has won 4 games in 23 matches including 3 out of our last 11 with a far better side at our disposal.The problem is far greater than just who was our coach.
I couldn’t have said it better, except you forgot the most important adjective when describing smith and that is cheat. He was the best at it, and everyone seemed to just turn a blind eye?He had the skill set that most current hookers would dream of.
