Madge is coaching a masterclass

We are currently 9th and the only team left with a chance. Win and we are in.

State of Origin reps? ONLY team left with none.

Kangaroos? None.

Injuries and roster legacy from the previous coach = we are playing with a roster 2-3 million less than other teams left.

We are on the brink of the finals with Clark-ET-Huth and a kid like Mikaele playing huge mins.

And at least 4 backs no one else wanted.

This is one of the great coaching performances.

I don’t see how anyone could criticise him this year. Packer and Reynolds could have been handled better, yes. Esan GK could have been sorted quicker, yes. Jennings has been a mistake.

But in the grand scheme of things, he has got absolutely everything possible out of this team. This is not a semi final roster by a long way, but it may well end up there.

Mbye played origin and won it for us…

I forgot about Mbye and his 8 mins…but still, we have the least amount of rep players

@GNR4LIFE Hasler is probably getting that

Dessie has coached a master class also.

You can really see ‘who’ CAN coach and ‘who’ can’t this year.

Dessie
Madge

v

Mary
Brown

Both those teams have 5-6 Origin players.

@ElleryHanley Add Cleary to the bottom list please.

Hahah…he has coached a shocker.

All dislike aside, 80% of their big names are either gone OR have got much worse.

They looked set for a dynasty…and Cleary now has them set for a long rebuild.

What an effort!
