So a weeks hard work at woolies will do them good?

Stop being a smart arse.

Whatever I say you try and go against.

You get my point here I reckon and are just stirring me.

 

[DiegoNT]

I don't get your point.
The boys aren't trying hard enough so we will give them a week working one of the easiest jobs in the world alongside 15 year old kids and arthritic old ladies lol?

 

[Rabbits20]

It's true.

They don't realise how good they have it.

They think they can get paid highly these NRL players and just bludge.

Player power is far too strong these days.

This Diego.

 

[Rabbits20]

In his time with us Madge has trained with the boys.

Problem was he got injured doing so and medical advice was he can't do so anymore.

It's a combination of things imo alien.

Player power I o is too high these days.

Madge needs to go back to how he was but still keep it relaxes at times.

The changes Madge has made in being more relaxed shows it gives poor results.

Like in any job hard work is required and effort.

The players have to stop sooking and put in as I've said many times.

They get paid a bloody hell of a lot alien.

Get them a weeks work in retail and then they'll realise how good they've got it.

Get them overeas to a poor country in the offseason and then they'll notice that what they're sooking about isn't important and how blessed they are.

This.

You don't need to quote your daft posts a second time. We laughed at them the first time because they were ridiculous.

I think the club is heading in the right direction by signing the young talent that they have recently signed.

it's good salary cap management. in the 25 man squad, players outside of the top 17 should be on the minimum wage or close to it, and they can be talented youngsters or the best players from the qld cup or nsw cup

We haven't had much luck lately with QLD/NSW Cup players.

In saying that alien, I'd like us to go for Jesse Sene Lefao. He is 26yrs old and 189cm, 108kg.

We could play him off the interchange. Our interchange does need strengthening/our depth in general too.

We're very very slow when it comes to recruiting the best from NSW/Qld Cup.
We're fortunate to get Brown and Tasi. The rest of the best went to the Cowboys,
Storm and the Broncos.

From what we've heard and the fact the dressing room cameras were covered shooting and balling seems to be his style. Being a dictator.
If you want to get a group of young men to work towards a goal that is not the way to go about it. There are of course times when its needed but by all accounts Madge has used it too often.
Look at Wayne Bennett not that long ago he would turn up for training and do the runs with the guys, inspiring people by example is a much better philosophy.

I don't buy into this whole idea that Madge has 'lost the dressing room' because he is a dictator and screams at the players etc. If anything I actually think we need someone who is like that because players in the modern game get away with absolute murder! Player power has gotten out of control and you only have to look at teams like Canberra and the Wests Tigers in recent years to see that anarchy can prevail at a club if it doesn't have a strong coach to keep them in line. Basically, there needs to be someone in charge to call the shots for the club to function as a cohesive unit. I also don't buy into this nonsense about players losing respect for the coach; it almost sounds as if the players have a choice; they don't! It is a players duty to obey their coach or boss, not a moral obligation. They are not being paid big money for nothing! Its like any other organisation - you have a boss who gives the orders and if you continually disobey them you get moved on. You also imply that this approach doesn't work - I think Craig Bellamy disproves you theory.

With regards to Madge giving the team sprays, I think they are warranted given some of the performances they've put in this season. If the team followed his plans and did what he said then there wouldn't be a need for Madge give them a spray would there? Its not that hard! What I also find astounding is the way that everyone puts Wayne Bennett on a pedestal, like he is some mystical sage or a lovable grandfather-like figure. I don't know where this has come from. Make no mistake, Wayne Bennett is as shrewd as they come. This whole notion that he "doesn't coach players but teaches them to be good young me" is a whole lot of cow's dung; he is just saying that to be humble. The Broncos and Dragons didn't become the well-oiled defensive units that they are and were by themselves; they became that way through Wayne's coaching. Moreover, he is just as hard on his players as any other coach. I think if you'd ask any of the players he coached in the 80s and 90s, they'd tell you Wayne was as hard as task master and disciplinarian as they come. I think the likes of Wally Lewis, Sam Backo, Allan Langer, the Walters brothers and co. all felt Wayne's wrath, particularly in the early days of the Broncos.

Madge hasn't got any plans to follow. It's just straight bash and barge and hasn't worked for over a year.

I think the reason it hasn't worked over a year is because, we don't have the
players who bash and barge. we have the Splatters like Tyrrell and Clark.

Yet they were a part of the premiership in 2014

Yes they were. That was when Te'o, G. Burgess, GI, S. Burgess, T. Burgess,
Turner and Auva'a was using opposition players as a welcome mat as soon
as they hit the line. They're the ones doing the bash and barge. Not Tyrrell
and Clark. Luke was part of that bash and barge boys.

 

[southsport]

Which players are you thinking of?

Greinke, Fuimaono, Jennings brothers (if they've actually signed) etc.

 

[Rsag85]

Forget there names but we have signed a halve from the Sharks and a outstanding centre from the panthers
