Why not the Walker Brothers?

We can never compete with the Roosters, Storm etc... by trying to copy what they do. We need an 'out of the box' approach. The Wests Tigers identity at its best has been 'no matter how many you score, we will score more'. Why not embrace this 100% and employ the Walker brothers. Madge's old school focus on defence has backfired... bring back the fun and entertainment. What the Walkers have achieved on a shoestring budget has been awesome. Imagine what they could do with our Salary Cap in a strong position and the Centre of Excellence. While we are at it we could employ Benji as the assistant coach to train up the young ones in entertaining footy. [We may even snag a new halfback:sunglasses: ]

At least we'd be entertained. The Walker brothers coach a very watchable brand of rugby league.

What have they done lately. I know that had a terrific year, I think with Ipswich, but I've not heard much of them since. Are they still coaching in the Queensland equivalent of KOE?

NO they have given it away. Not coaching at any level.

It is very hard to argue that we played "old school defence", simply the players with this coach did not show even a glimpse of "the D"!
 
The Walker Brothers...May as well let the lunatics run the asylum.

While I don’t agree it seems more innovative than what this current mob toss up.

We tried a short drop out

Everyone knows u don’t aim a drop out to the guy you’re paying 900K. That’s not in his job description

The players are being asked what they think of Madge as a coach, particularly the leadership group so I’d say we’re already there.

Can Madge be asked what he thinks of the players. I’d buy the recording.

Let's do it as long as we get Sam Walker too

I don’t think he’s a Robbo type player. Tipping he’ll be available soon.
