Whilst I agree with you, I would gladly lose this game if it meant winning the GF. But I think we can do both - and give Parra a work over to boot!I just want to win this one so I can see all the whining Tigers fans have a meltdown, and start all the "bus" talk again.
It's going to be glorious
And they’ll be missing a few from their lineup that “beat” us so no doubt those idiots will take great pleasure in reminding us when the inevitable arse-handing their team will be given.
They will, however, we can remind them how many origin players that they have in their squad.
There’s an news article by our Adam Hartigan that explains our recruitment process and more description on our forum. Madge does not have the final say, that’s the guts of it and that was my point. He does not recruit on his own, he does not have control. It is just wrong in fact to suggest, imply or infer he does. It illustrates a poor understanding of wt process. Killer blew that one. So be it
You're not on your own. I too want this for some more laughs.
Look at the players in that team he inherited. Cook, Walker, Reynolds, Burges boys, Sutton, Inglis, AJ, Adam Doueihi. They were burned out by Madge by they had a lot of fire power, most of these players were in or near the prime of their career. Cook had a career year, Tom Burges came good and started playing really well. Tigers best players are kids like the Broncos who had kids as their best players.
Seibs has almost the same group of players as Madge -but lifts them from the cellar into 3rd place or something. All things equal, he can coach.
That's because Madge over trained the poor bastards so much they were probably sleeping through video sessions. Madge as a coach wasn't getting anything close to them to play at their ability post gf win. It's not they were a poor team on paper and Seibs came in and over delivered it was the other way around post gf win. Madge wasn't getting anything close to the best out of his team.
I think we are on the same page in some ways, but to prove your point beyond a doubt, perhaps you would need to demonstrate that another non-Madge type coach would have delivered similar success to seibs. That is not possible empirically, we will never know.
I don’t get what you mean by that. Hook has only won 8 from 22 games. How is that profound? And how is that success?
Because he faced considerable adversity being matters not in his control.
Here at 3:55 Naden bites on Lomax at the 35 metre line when Burton has him tackled. Ravalawa makes a 50 metre line break. Are those 50 metres not Naden's fault?
I have always had a soft spot for the tigers; some of my uncles went to Holy Cross and so are big fans of the Tigers for years, and I have other family who supported the Maggies; I hope they do well.You mean every time you open your mouth.

Interesting fact that is generally overlooked when Russell Packer and Josh Reynolds joined W/T they were considered 'reasonable signing......(although W/T had to pay overs) because basically no one has wanted to go there since Sheens left
Reynolds had hamstring tear before round 1, finally made first appearance at round 6.
In round 6 suffered a shoulder fracture which eventually took him out for the rest of the season.
Cleary left at the end of 2018.
So an injury riddled 12 months that noone saw comming.
Packer was playing rep footy when he joined W/T in 2018. Yep he was paid overs....(for above reason)
Had a reasonable season in 2018 although the team generally struggled.
It's quite amusing how a narrative 'invents' itself in this case devoid of any real facts.
