He’s 190cm and 95kg so probably could but given how quick he is I think that’d be a waste.Looks big, strong and fast. Great pick up. Will have to fight for a spot in first grade as our back five have been excellent.
Is he big enough to play second row?
IMO he’ll be first up injury cover so will end up getting a lot of games. Will likely be groomed to take over from Gags.
So our spine next season might be?

I personally wanted Madge to replace AOB here. However, it looks like he is going to the Broncos. Hope we dodged a bullet and not missed out on a great coach.
Agreed, would love to be a fly on the war at broncos preseason when he gets stuck in to all the entitled kids up thereIMO Madge is a coach you can have for about 1 year, maybe 2 tops before he starts to burn players out. That’s what makes him perfect for rep footy.
I actually think he’s the perfect fit for the Broncos. They’ve got a team that’s premiership ready and they need a coach that can go in in the short term, improve their attitude and help them get to a title.
He wouldn’t work here IMO as by the time we get a premiership roster he would have already burnt the playing group out. We need to replace AOB with a coach like Madge once we get a better roster and want to compete for a comp. It would be an absolute shit show if we signed him now IMO.
