If we got rid of Madge and had say Shane Flanagan or Paul Green as Head Coach, do you think Souths would be any higher on the ladder with the current crop of players we have?
If we got a new coach I'm sure they would clean the place out a bit.If we got rid of Madge and had say Shane Flanagan or Paul Green as Head Coach, do you think Souths would be any higher on the ladder with the current crop of players we have?
My thoughts exactly, a tweak of our style. I think this has been done to some degree, we saw in the early rounds we were throwing the ball around a bit more. However, we have dropped off in this area in recent weeks and even in these early rounds, it still wasn't enough.Lets not excuse the terrible luck with injuries we've had. Its fair to say we have a better squad this year than we did last year and considering the job they did at the back end of the season, our best team now should be competing for the 8.
No doubt this year is a building year but Its not doom and gloom just yet.
I have faith in both the coaching staff and squad we can build up back to our best. I do think we're a few players short of competing for the title, but I think the coach is fine. Just needs to tweak his style a little bit.
I think the players are to blame more so than the coach. The twins, Reynolds Turner and Sutton need to do more because we have young guys that need as much help as they can get.My thoughts exactly, a tweak of our style.

Once Madge realises that players have to go and we actually start rebuilding properly things should improve.
It would surprise me tbh. I can imagine that after the way 2015 panned out Rustys ego got the better of him and he started corrupted the admin side of the club.I get the feeling maguire doesn't have as much control on who stays and who goes as we think.
Mcinnes, Keary and walker where all players he nurtured, yet out the door they go. Guys like the twins seemingly can't be touched. I always felt cook was forced on maguire. His reluctance to pick him was evident for most of last season and even this year he started behind farah.
In 2015 he had control. Grant, stewart and millard where his signings and none really worked out. Thats when i feel he was nurtured. Since then every sighing has had a crowe or richardson feel about it
