    If not Madge, then who?

    Jesus Christ the club actually confirmed it. Sheens coach from next year. f**k me.

    If not Madge, then who?

    But I think they are clever. Its hard to remove a board on a company thats profitable. And if they focus on making even $1 a year, when other clubs are losing money, they are doing their job. Did we even work out HOW we remove the board? There must be a mechanism for it.

    If not Madge, then who?

    Yes this is true. But whats the point of making a profit if the team is shit? And how sustainable is making money from members, merchandising and game day tickets if the team is shit?

    If not Madge, then who?

    yeah 100%. But honestly, what did they "profit" last year? $300k? And we probably gave all of that, with a loan for more to pay out Madge. A $300k profit on a $7mln spend is pretty shit.

    If not Madge, then who?

    I dont think it was Sheen's plan. Again using common sense; Hes an average at best coach who has got punted from every coaching job he had and has finished with a losing record. He now has a gig with (seemingly) little responsibility where he presumably gets paid well. Why would you put that...

    If not Madge, then who?

    I just cant understand the lack of simple common sense. 1. Get a coach with recent (and preferably winning) experience 2. Buy Burton to play fullback 3. Keep Api and Papaili happy enough to come across (Id be asking them who they think we should buy). 4. Get rid of Brooks (pay half of it if...

    Nope - if we are short we get fined.

    Luke Brooks

    Regardless of the exact number, which we will never know, we have three halves to go into two positions and of the three, hes the one least likely. Whatever we have to pay out is for one year only. I say ditch him, pay out the difference and move on.

    Squad 2022

    I think from memory he was dropped to the bench for one or two games last year, but never dropped from the side.

    Put the 'c' next to his name now

    Is Madge still the Kiwi coach? Warrior move might make sense.

    Season ‘22

    You have to laugh. Nathan you want a coaching gig? Yeah sure why not. Who? NEW ZEALAND Warriors. Oh yeah sure, I can do that remotely via Zoom....

    If not Madge, then who?

    "Sticking solid with Madge for now" Wow. Awesome. So the cloud continues to linger and we wont be able to sign anyone good. Either punt Madge or extend him so we can get on with it.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Here is my view on Madge: * We show we can compete in games (last week was the first blowout this year). * We seem to have these fade outs which we have always had. We are notorious for letting the opposition score just before and just after half time. I think this comes down to us having a...

    We arent shifting Brooks any time soon. Given we play side each having AD in the centers will be like having 2 5/8ths. They each play either side.

    Tigers Movements

    Well hs playing more confidently how with Hastings inside him
  16. Shredder

    Tigers Movements

    We bought AD as a fullback and he played there early on with us and at Souths to. Hes just too slow for FB I think. I wouldnt mind seeing this (just to try it out): 1 To'a 2 Laurie / Nofo 3 AD 4 Naden 5 Ken
  17. Shredder

    Tigers Movements

    I like AD as a center going forward. I think hes big, strong and smart enough to make it work especially if hes getting quality ball from the halves.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Or I just read Bird possibly as well.....

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Releasing Mikaele means we are a player short of 30 for the end o June deadline. So the club must think we ar signing someone. Is it going to be Lodge or Hetherington?

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I like Madden, I really do. But in reality hes 4th in pecking order now. He has a great kicking game and seems to be able to organize. If I were him I would leave for more starting time and wish him all the best.
