If not Madge, then who?

[Chippy73]

Tigers should give Geoff Toovey a go.... Toovey at Bulldogs would make me angry but I can handle him at the Tigers seeing as though I live in Leichhardt and would prefer the Tigers not to be a basket case.

 

[simmo1]

Should have done this at the end of last year, not when two other clubs have sacked their coaches meaning there is now going to be strong competition to sign anyone decent. Fantastic timing as usual by the club.

 

[Pezz70]

That’s it for me and the Tigers, sack the Balmain half of the club and go back to being the Magpies or I’m jumping on Ivan’s bus and getting the flock out of here

we are probably the best placed out of the three so should have our pick of the poor bunch that would put their hands up to coach any of the three

Lol don't let the door hit you on the way out...

I was 50/50 about Madge remaining or going, but facts are we've regressed terribly during his tenure. Give someone else a go and see if they can pull a rabbit out of a hat, because otherwise we'd just be facing the usual cycle of underachievement.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

For the rest of the season Brett Kimmorley will take over as Interim coach.

 

[The Rosco]

Someone better tell the players they are now guaranteed for the finals this year.
That was the problem with Madge right? . . . that we couldn't make the finals and we got flogged by souffs ?
Well we don't have that problem no more. We sacked Madge
We used to have a team full of heartless shit players that don't play for each other.
That's another thing instantly fixed. We sacked Madge. They are now a gun squad.
Look out Manly. 48-6 here we come.
Buy your GF tickets now boys and beat the rush.
We sacked Madge. All our shitness has just instantly disappeared.
Someone tell Burton, Chrichton and Hass that we'll have a new coach soon.
Guaranteed they'll come now . . . the only thing stopping us from signing a marquee was Madge, apparently.
Oh goody. Another fkkn re-building phase.
Wake me up in 2025.

Who do you boys want as coach a rookie or experienced coach

Craig Bellamy is probably still ruing that he knocked us back in 2003 and has been dying to come back over and oversee us reach the great heights which we deserve.

It matters little.
The problem is not the coach . . . as the next 3 years of rebuild will show

 

[Ned Kelly]

Wow! As much as I couldn't see Madge being our coach of choice next year it still feels like a shock.
Fingers crossed we get a quality coach that can attract quality players.
Exciting times with hopefully a good outcome.

Nothing is certain. Life’s a gamble but when you are heading to a pretty certain spoon (or in life broke, with no options but still with time to play a hand) a gamble is what’s needed..I bet you’ve rebounded from many what seemed like dead ends by not sitting on your hands throughout your Tiger tenure

 

[axl rose]

Todd Payten but he'll never come back to this career black hole.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

I don't understand the timing of it. It should have been done at the end of last season, otherwise he should finish out the year. The only way this makes sense is if the club has another coach lined up that they've been chasing. Otherwise we've just sacked our coach with no other coach lined up & are now one of 3 clubs chasing a new coach. That just doesn't make any sense to me, though this is the tigers we're talking about, so that's probably the position we are in.

 

[the beavers]

I am assuming now the board etc that signed, extended then shortly after sacked Madge will be held accountable….*

* sarcastic font

 

[Tigerm]

Apparently it is cheaper to sack a coach then make players accountable? Another decisive decision by sheens and the board.

We all pretty much accepted that 22 was going to be a nothing year. Roster regressed, and no good players coming.
We all knew it, many of us said it right here. '23 was looking far better.
As it turned out, Hastings brought a turnaround in attitude and it showed on field. So we went from a crap box, to a crap box with a mostly improved defence and attitude.
The improvement in our pathetic roster full of sub first graders, was visible.
The gamble now is . . . . the improvement we were showing, vs another fkkng rebuild coz the new coach can't get our lot to play with heart.
Is this our 4th rebuild in a row ?
Good that we somehow keep expecting different outcomes every single time.

 

[Trollhammaren]

I wanna see this invisible board come out and try and explain the reasoning why this was done now. As mentioned above, it's pretty ordinary timing considering all best coaches are being sounded out by three clubs who've all sacked their coach this year. If we don't have anyone better ready to jump in that's just amateur hour, and textbook Wests Tigers management.

Agree, what decent coach is going to want to come here? We will only get rookies and desperate ex coaches applying?

 

[benched tiger]

Regardless of whether Madge should of been sacked or not, one thing he did do is support his players in public, which is more than what a lot of his players did in return.Sure he may of given them a spray behind closed doors, but considering the results he achieved and the tripe that at times was dished up on the field, I would not of blamed him if he named and shamed them in his post match interviews at the expense of losing the dressing room as it happened regardless.
