Opinions to NRL players from two unhappy recent ex-Wests tigers together with some South Sydney players who had been coached by Madge may have had a lot to do with West Tigers recent unfair reputation.
Not having a crack at you Newtown but what do all those saying “we can’t attract players because Madge is too tough” suggest?
The day the club replaces a coach because he was “too tough “ on players is the day the club signs up for another decade of poor performance and my last day as a supporter
Souths did just that …
Sacked Maguire for Seibold !They sacked him after 6 successful years which included a premiership. Form dropped, I could excuse that.
I hate to admit this but I’m related to a current Souths player and I asked him about Madge when he signed for the Tigers. He was full of praise and denied he was too hard. I can tell you the whole sorry saga surrounding his sacking, or rather the rise of Seibold if you’re interested.
I’ve always been intrigued by his departure mate, please PM if you can with the story.
I’ll change the names to protect the innocent…
Once upon a time, not long after a new assistant coach started work at the Storm, another assistant who had been there for a while felt he was a bit on the outer, with the new guy scoring lots of points with the boss. So the old assistant decided to apply for a vacant NRL head coaching job and promptly won a premiership. His mate from the Storm, being a first class opportunist, saw an opportunity and joined the premiership winners, only to immediately start white-anting the head coach. This is where the rumours of the old coach being a hard task master started. The new guy had new ideas and a couple of degrees and could move the club forward with a more modern approach. He charmed the players and gradually turned them against the old coach. The board were also mesmerised and decided the assistant was the future, sacking the coach who had won them a long awaited premiership. A few months into the next season, the opportunist, who by now was beginning to resemble a snake, became aware that another long serving coach at his dream club was on the outer and began concocting a scheme to slither in to replace him, despite him being contracted for another season. The idea of a swap was devised by his management team, however there was a stumbling block. The snake by now was losing the confidence of his own players and the assistant coach, let’s call him DF, was by far more popular with the playing group. Rather than a swap for another coach, the players would prefer to keep DF as their head coach. This put the deal in jeopardy so the snake encouraged DF to take a head coaching job in the ESL to remove any obstacles. The players were filthy once the swap became a done deal, not because they were upset about getting a master coach but they realised they had just been used as just a rung in the ladder for the ultra ambitious snake. The news soon made it north and the result is there for all to see.Damn…Voldemort does come across as the kind of guy who would do that. The players at Souths loved Madge. It was disappointing when he got the boot. This story makes too much sense not to be true.
I guarantee it is. If I went into the finer details it gets even worse.
Who was the assistant who went to ESL
If the Tigers are seriously requiring a psychometric exam of Mitchell, then they will find out exactly what he’s thinking, you can’t fudge those tests
Abbey’s highlight reels look impressive, time will fix his physical injuries, depends what’s in his head at this time, but worth a shot
On Souths LU forum, they are reporting that he signed for 4 years @$650000
Good luck Rusty, was in the same position couple years ago in Pt Stephens, they told us to pack up and get ready to go, not good

I wouldn’t touch any backs. None ever make it. It’s forwards tou want.
I remember that Balmain in the late 80’s/early 90’s broght a centre from UK to partner Brasher. He was a great goal kicker and centre and propelled the team into the top of the semifinals . It wasn’t Schofield who was a very good centre as well.
Andy Currier I think
What about the rest of the time he has been away, you wouldn’t stay in Taree for more than a day, unless you were incarcerated

. Wests Tigers is a club with strong convictions and a strong identity, and I have no doubt that Zane’s rugby league journey so far will continue to see him develop into a fine young man.”
Being convicted of sexual assault is now phrased as ‘part of your rugby league journey?’ to being a fine young man?
They would have been better just saying he made mistakes, acknowledges them and wants a second chance.
This is crap . He kissed a girl he was with in a far more closer way , a week before. He was drunk and totally misread the situation .
That could and probably has happened to any of us .
Consent laws are hectic nowadays. I would hate to be a young male , not out to do wrong , just making the mistake of counting your chickens . He shouldn’t have touched her , but man , that’s a tough one .
100% mate, don’t know how some of these dinosaurs, tried to get on to women and before the outcry, she did not say no, did not slap his face, did not knee him in the gonads etc, I am against violence full stop and particularly toward women, but he misjudged the situation, could have been any of us, he is not a criminal, just made a mistake
