This is a great listen so far. An in depth description of someone who has dealt with the big wigs at the club. I’m half hour in and it’s pretty damming

Correct the problem is wests asfield.

They say our players are happy to br nrl players.

Our board and ceo are happy just to be working for a nrl club.

Winning is irrelevant.

Critism on negotiation is on point.

If we lose Stefano to the bloody slime that we signed him from, I am done.

Legit question. What’s keeping him here?

Madge

As if ? Madge had him in and out of first grade for no reason and the only reason he kept starting is because people were in his ear all origin camp about how shit of a coach he is.

You mean he was bringing him into first grade in a controlled manner to ensure his successful development.

You are giving Madge far too much credit there.

You know this how?

Observing him for many years

Do you know him?

? What are you? 5 years old?
No I don’t know him, so what? That is irrelevant.
If you think Madge is a good coach, that is your bad luck.

A coach is only as good as his roster ......our roster sucks big time ......Madge is wearing a cumulutive effect of a club who hasn't looked like a Top 8 side for 11 years ......we can attract players becuase we are miles away from playing finals or pushing a players representative chances .....

How many times this year did we see Madge interviewed before a game and excitedly claim the team trained/prepared well and are ready to make a statement, only to be 12+ down in no time? Same in that stupid doco…he rants and raves and tells them he knows they are ready to dig in and then they take the field and get spanked.
His words have no effect on the players. They are on different pages.

My state schoolboy side from 35 years ago could have beaten our side


Are they willing to give it a go??

We are getting a bit old ...but the entire pack played either for Australia , Qld or NRL and we had real strike centre with speed ..oh and by the way ...first Open Qld schoolboy side to beat NSW ...we had an age group desceprancy to deal with .....

Rowdy?

Qlder bro .....Renouf .......

Pretty to watch in the open!
I was thimking of Dale Shearer.

Or maybe they aren't good enough to do it. Who on this forum really knows what is happening - no-one?You drawing conclusions to suit your perception of Madge without knowing didly squat apart from we are losing games.

To add to that,if I didnt perform well after a couple of games my coach would drop me because we had guys competing for spots behind us...the WTs players in the top 17 know that there isnt enough talented depth to replace them...cini,madden for example,great blokes but arent anywhere near NRL standard atm...

Happy I am the first to agree our roster is bog average, but even bog average players you expects to see some improvement. Bar a couple of players and as a collective unit they went backwards. I remember many moons ago when I was a school, I was bog average at history, than this unbelievably good teacher came along and pulled my grades up from bottom to top five in the class. Not saying a new coach can do that with this roster, but if he can improve them 1% it’s better than going backwards by 10%

But were you competing against the best history students in Australia SC ......

Rowdy?

Have a look at the class of 86 ...pretty handy .....details about Carty definitely not right though ...he wasn't from Gympie lol

Our Qld pack was

Tony Hearn (Norths/Qld)
Dean Schifiliti Illawarra /Parra /Cows
Michael Searle ( Gold Coast / Titans CEO
Allan Cann Brisbane /Qld
Andrew Gee Brisbane Qld
Brett Horsnell ( Parra / Qld )

Then you look at NSW

Clyde
Geyer
Carty
Gillies

Soden and Martin in Halves

We had Teevan in teh Halves ( clown )

That is really what happens at NRL level across the board, there is a large gap between NRL and reserve grade.

You have no facts apart from we are losing more games than we win. All they indicate is we are losing. They don't show why.
Should you have other facts/ stats - pray do tell.

You know this how?

Observing him for many years

Do you know him?

? What are you? 5 years old?
No I don’t know him, so what? That is irrelevant.
If you think Madge is a good coach, that is your bad luck.

A coach is only as good as his roster ......our roster sucks big time ......Madge is wearing a cumulutive effect of a club who hasn't looked like a Top 8 side for 11 years ......we can attract players becuase we are miles away from playing finals or pushing a players representative chances .....

Happy I am the first to agree our roster is bog average, but even bog average players you expects to see some improvement. Bar a couple of players and as a collective unit they went backwards. I remember many moons ago when I was a school, I was bog average at history, than this unbelievably good teacher came along and pulled my grades up from bottom to top five in the class. Not saying a new coach can do that with this roster, but if he can improve them 1% it’s better than going backwards by 10%

But were you competing against the best history students in Australia SC ......

No…but even if they still came 13th but improved a tad from game one I would be happy to give Madge another year..but that was not the case

Apart from the juniors who haven't hit their ceilings yet ....many of our blokes have reached their ceiling and aren't going to improve ......

This is a great listen so far. An in depth description of someone who has dealt with the big wigs at the club. I’m half hour in and it’s pretty damming

Correct the problem is wests asfield.

They say our players are happy to br nrl players.

Our board and ceo are happy just to be working for a nrl club.

Winning is irrelevant.

Critism on negotiation is on point.

If we lose Stefano to the bloody slime that we signed him from, I am done.

Legit question. What’s keeping him here?

Madge

As if ? Madge had him in and out of first grade for no reason and the only reason he kept starting is because people were in his ear all origin camp about how shit of a coach he is.

You mean he was bringing him into first grade in a controlled manner to ensure his successful development.

You are giving Madge far too much credit there.

Nah, just wanted to know how relevant your comments were.

I think he has made it pretty clear by now.

How many times this year did we see Madge interviewed before a game and excitedly claim the team trained/prepared well and are ready to make a statement, only to be 12+ down in no time? Same in that stupid doco…he rants and raves and tells them he knows they are ready to dig in and then they take the field and get spanked.
His words have no effect on the players. They are on different pages.

Or maybe they aren't good enough to do it. Who on this forum really knows what is happening - no-one?You drawing conclusions to suit your perception of Madge without knowing didly squat apart from we are losing games.

My conclusions are educated guesses based upon experience and 3 years of data. Your conclusions are based upon feelings. Too bad, so sad “Mike”. ?

About the only reality in that post is guesses.

Your point being? The facts support my stance.

You have no facts apart from we are losing more games than we win. All they indicate is we are losing. They don't show why.
Should you have other facts/ stats - pray do tell.

Your over simplistic interpretation is pretty embarrassing.
The reason we don’t win many games is because we lose a lot….brilliant. You could get a position on our board.

Well the review has had at least 100 working hours to be done 10 hour days x 10 days since we bailed out of semi final contention , you would expect something this arvo , Coach Going or staying , Assistant Coaches , Players signings , something anything , if these guys go all the way to the end of next week we won’t be lucky enough to sign Simms , Woods , peachy , Elliot as they will probably have found a new home , it’s an internal review they don’t take much , most info they would have had at the finger tips , results , Contacts , all the main bits , all really they had to do was decide on , Madge stays or goes , after this the new coach would need to come in , if he stays , then move on

I wouldn't expect anything this afternoon.

If indeed the coaches departure is announced,you should coincide the announcement of his replacement to turn the inevitable negative into a major positive
Selection process and negotiations take time,particularly if its a coach still in a job
