Can’t fault your enthusiasm mate , hope it’s the case
I just think it is a tipping point one way or the other...
Win all 3 and it would be fair to give Madge 2022.
Lose all 3..even lose 2 of the 3...and it would be really hard to build a case that he should not be punted.
Things should be clearer in a few weeks.
I utterly respect your views and opinions mate,however,having said that,if our PLAYERS keep arm grabbing,lack line speed in defense,drop balls and make fundamental errors,why sack Madge,the players should be put through the wringer just as you and others have Madge go through it....after all the players win you games and get paid enormously to do that...
I know what you mean, but Madge picks the arm grabbers...Madge recruited 90% of the players...Madge has had three years to coach line speed...
After 3 seasons, it is on him at this point.
The next three weeks will show us whether he has them on track or not. Let's see.
Unfortunately mate ,Madge hasnt had 3 years to get the young guys up to NRL level and get the whole team to adapt to the new rules that were only applied this year...
We can all have a dislike toward coaches and players as such,having said that,we must also take in the reality of the circumstances that have been bestowed on Madge during his tenure so far...
cap disorder,discarding players not needed and recruiting talented young guys just learning about the NRL..
Im all for posting negative and positive opinions about particular people within our club,but we must be fair about the task in hand that Madge has been handed since his employment....the rotten culture that he is trying to get rid of is probably his toughest task so far,the wins and better performances will come...it takes time....
So he got rid of Momorovski. Thompson and the like and replaced them with Bj, Jimmy the Jet and chased Pangai jnr and allegedly Curtis Scott. And he wants to change the culture. Am i missing something here.
Very good post.
Madge also picked Nofa despite being drunk at training...
He kept picking the same backrowers despite the edges being blown away most games...and dropping the benchies who were not even on whilst we went down 20 or 30.
He seems to have favs, and that is never a good thing for a culture. Nofa basically messes up on D, has publicly blamed his teammates, and was drunk at training...not dropped once.
That culture is on the coach.
