Tigers tell Maguire they’re ‘walking on eggshells’

Hooper Warning?

How accurate is this story, surely it can't be real.

These reserve graders have no right to question the coach.

Really hope Madge doesn't cave in and not name players like Madden and Simpkin.

Hope madden put on some size.

I’ve never seen this kid or never seen him play ...is he a nuffie ?

Think of Brooks but smaller hahahaha
Nikorima ish

Could you imagine Melbourne Storm players saying that to Bellamy?

Me neither.

Bellamy would have them out of Melbourne quicker then you could say go

We will win this week ..
Madge is taking them to a petting zoo tomorrow.

I heard they’ve requested a jumping castle and fairy bread at training this week as well.

Lighter training certainly helped last time we did it.... not

It’s not about winning or losing ...
It’s about playing with your mates ..

Did he really say that?

EXACT same thing happened at Souths with the majority of their team.

Not saying Madge is wrong, but I have long felt this approach ONLY works if you win.

Bellamy, Ferguson and Belichick..this approach works as they win.

Every other coach, in all codes, has failed eventually with this approach when they have not won.

If players play good it doesn’t happen. Get rid of the non performers and build a winning team and that’s the plan.

Madge is definitely a coach that needs the whole squad to be his because not everyone is on board with him as a coach

It’s laughable that players can complain about being dropped for playing crap, it’s a professional sport and they’re not doing their jobs

In all sports, it either works brilliantly (great culture, long term success) OR the coach fails. If you follow the NBA, Coach Thibs has tried it and failed everywhere...but coach Pop succeeded. 95% fail.

Our problem is, for Madge to work, we really need senior...hard headed...tough blokes.

No Benjis and Lawrys...nice guys, but absolutely terrible in terms of winning culture.

Michael Crockers and Sam Burgess instead...blokes who fire up and lead.

Whether we can get those types of players before Madge is sacked or walks in the next couple of years...that is the real question.

It’s up to the club to let Madge at least try build the team he wants. He’s clearly happy to dump the rubbish and bring his own guys in and he should be given a chance to do that

True...but that will take 3-4 years.

And, to be brutally honest, there are not 'that' many players out there who will sign up for a coach who gets in their face. Paul Green completely lost the Cows, and they had premiership winners and vets.

Bellamy...like Alex Ferguson and Bill Belichick...is the exception to the rule. Most 'in your face' coaches fail.

We REALLY need a couple of hard nosed, tough, winners. I just not sure where will get them from.

Burgess
Crocker
Roy Keane
Tom Brady

Guys who live to win. It is all they care about game week. They are rarities.

What a pitiful excuse for a club we support!
Players refusing to have a go.. refusing to win at critical times.. what a bunch of sooks! Drop the whole bloody lot of them Madge. Except McIntyre, he has a go every game.

About time we include player performance kpi’s in contracts. 16m from a front rower, no pay. Brain snap kick someone’s head off, no pay. Being BJ, no pay.

Too early to say scrawnie kid growing up needs size.

Hasn’t impressed in nsw cup In a crap side remains to be seen if he improves in grade like Macintyre

 

[clontarfkid]

The players are absolutely correct...and most should be walking on eggshells based on their performances.
But our few consistent players...Harry..Aloui...Nofa and LL...DONT get dropped because they perform
Even more reason to get Benji/Packer/Reynolds/Mbye..the so called "leadership"group..out of the joint asap.Theyre simply not setting any performance standards ...quite the opposite
And the can take Brooks with them too.not that he cld have "lead" anything anywhere tbh...
Last thought on the subject..players complain that they train too hard...but we get smashed in the last 20 mins in most matches...combination of fitmess and leadership IMO

So planting the seed for another Matterson?

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Wonder how Harry is enjoying his WestsTigers experience?

Cut to storm sheds in preseason next year and they’re all rolling around laughing as Harry says ‘and then the captain said we were all tired...bahahaha’

“They all said: ‘We’re walking on eggshells. Everybody’s scared that if you put in one bad performance, you’ll be dropped.’

I hate to tell the precious little darlings but no player has been dropped on "one bad performance" in fact there are a few who are still in the team who have yet to put in a good performance

Send them all on a holiday to India with one mask between them - all except LL that is, he has given his all.
Brisbane have The Baby Broncos, we could bring in our so called 2nd stringers for the remainder to get a gauge - let’s call them The Tiny Tigers.
Bunch of sooks, pull your fingers out!

How disappointing it is to follow WT. I agree with your sentiment that the senior players need to be shown the door regardless of their performances (Nof excluded). Any attributes they bring on the field are counteracted by the fact they are LOSERS.

Nofo puts in each and every week i just wish a few of the others tried as hard as he does

Last week mentioned the brothers and interested to see how they and players respond against panthers

 

[GNR4LIFE]

You worry about kids like Simpkin and Madden coming into a side with no leaders.
