Madge has done a really good job holding the club together post Cleary and rebuilding...
But it is fairly evident at this point he does not have the coaching ability / game plans to go to the next level. His bench use is terrible...he repeats his own errors.....there is absolutely no structure in attack...and the D cracks 90% of games as soon at tested.
We need a much better coach in terms of game plans at this point. **We have a host of young, talented, players coming through. The future 'can' be bright, but we need to get it right.**
As I said, Madge has done his job...post Cleary he was the right man for it. But it is really clear at this point he is not the man for it now / going forward. Go and get a Ciraldo / someone young and modern. We, literally, have no attack other than Luc and Laurie trying stuff themselves. And the D has no resilience.
It is really important we get it right. The players need a much better tactician / they need to learn / they need much better bench use / they need much better strategy. He has failed really badly in all those areas for a long time now.
People will say "he does not miss tackles"...but he picks those who do. People will say "he does not drop balls", but he oversees the same mindless game plan each week that sees them not know what to do or where to run.
The team collapses almost every week 25 min mark on...yet the bench use never changes or adapts. Think about that...
Whilst I admire the loyalists, we need much better coaching skill. Actual tactics (his assistants did most of that at Souths) and actual game plans (he has never had anything other than bash and barge / kick high). We need more.
