Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lol he’s just won a premiership. Not to mention an Origin series the year before. What are expecting to see that’s going to change our minds? Hilarious that Madge is a wait and see coming off a premiership, yet Benji is the man

And what did he win with the Kwiws?

 

[Odessa]

Let's see how Madge goes the next couple of years

I expect him to burn his player's this year finish 6th then to push to win the the comp in 27-28 before being fired in 29

Then turning up in Canberra in 30 to make the GF

I've never said Benji is the man. Im just saying it will be interesting to see if history repeats itself with Madge, thats all.

Remind me where Slater coached before Origin

So you agree Beaver and Jamie Lyon should coach NSW?

 

[king_sirro]

Are you predicting a used by date, when the players get the shits with his in your face bulldog head spit in your eye stuff, was told to tone it down in his first season, hinted by Ikin.

Not predicting, just will watch with interest

The premise is that you seem to think there is a cautionary tale around Madge over the next couple of years, like failure is a realistic chance. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you wouldn’t talk in that tone with Benji and it would be more along the lines of only looking at his potential upside. It’s a bit one eyed.

in an age when men can identify as a woman surely a Englishman can identify as a New South Welshman

Especially as New South Welshmen are women?

With Walsh at the back they are always going to be a title threat, he started really believing how good he was back end of season & stamped himself as the best player in the competition. Expecting him to take another level over next few seasons which is scary.

Im confused by the comparison to Benji. I dont see the relevance. Madge has had many whispers and reports about him wearing thing on a playing group. So yes, its more than fair to watch how he goes with interest the next couple of years. Benji on the other hand has no relevance to this discussion

Personally I dont think Walsh will get better than what he produced the backed of last year. He was like that becasue he was possessed, seeing that premiership window. It will be very hard to mentally keep that up. IMO the Brisbane playing group was do talented they won despite having Madge as coach. They saw the premiership and went for it. Now they have it, ill be curious to dee if they like the coach enough to continue it.

No someone else suggested them as a coaching group mate.

Anyone got any news on Jack Bird, seems absent from the pics of camp?

He's training with reserves. As I've alluded to, there was a bit of a fallout after some honest words last season but since then he's determined to prove himself. It's been humbling but apparently there's been a real change in him. I wish him all the best.

 

[innsaneink]

Walsh had a stellar finals series...4 weeks of near perfection...he came back down a bit with the Roos...he cant consistently play that finals level style
Everyone will be gunning for the broncs this year

Thanks for the Intel Desi! I have forwarded your predictions onto Ricky Stuart.

No - I personally dislike the SoO concept and have no interest in it. It's just something that the broadcasters want in the schedule so that's ok as it brings more $$ to the game.

Fair enough. I've gone off it a little lately but I think thats more due to the NSW boys club that has developed. Gould and Stuart are the only good NSW coaches. The rest are puppets
