Match Discussion: Round 12 vs South Sydney @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park

[WA Tiger]

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the minor incident with Nofo was a blow up with Madge (as Ted said) over I’m guessing not much ..after all even the media didnt know what it was. So Madge drops nofo and replaced him with that loser that needs a shave on the wing and thinks he’s clever doing it..Ok so, as he’s done in the past he wins the battle but loses the war..IF that's what happend, the decision to drop Madge would have occurred when south’s got that last intercept..To make a big deal and lose favour prob over nothing with the top dog, as he’s done in the past wouldn’t have been clever for this critical game esp in the eyes of the board (that’s that communication thing again) Obviously I’m only playing around with possible scenarios here..ah so what. I’m bored..

Sigh. Just sigh. Some abhorrent ref calls go against us, and rather than fight to overcome them, we tuck our tails between our legs and get absolutely lapped. It was heart-breaking to watch it and I legit felt like crying.

12 years of this garbage with no signs of improvement. Yeah ok we were missing some players still but the damage is done to the season. 3-9 going into the bye, meaning we'd need a 9-3 return post bye to even enter the discussion of a finals appearance.

The wolves are out for Madge's head yet again like the fickle schmucks that they are.

That’s how you treat a merged entity with supporters too weak & cowardly to stand against Murdoch, I have no respect for merged, bastardised clubs

Pretty sure a lot of those 'merged entities' stood with you vermin during your appeal to being booted out. Sometimes I wish you stayed booted.

Haha “Fickle.” Wrong word..Fickle means changing one’s loyalties.. mine have remained the same…the posters that have changed their minds here in your words are fickle? & …your flakey, confused and precious attempts at peer pressure is schmuckish. You know the Madge backers here are the minority now right? Just tell us the reasons why you’d keep Madge, (I noticed you didn’t include even one reason, in your post) & if you’ve got a strong argument, other opinions won’t matter.
I guess you’d be a Barrett fan as well. After all it’s never the coaches fault right?

This may sound weird but Garner at centre I thought was a masterstroke earlier especially defensively he is better then Toa I would put him back there regardless on who is fit. Even in attack one on one he was good.

LL and tuilagi only played well for 5 games. Starting pack has been good and when Twal comes on it continues. Seyfarth has gone backwards and I know he was injured but Stefano needs a rocket up him at the moment.

Brooks is a hard one but if he isn't in long term plans what are doing. Madden was close to man of the match last week I feel more confident in him. Even when Doueihi is back not sure how fit he would be if he starts as a 14 until he gels. Even when Brooks kicked the field goal last time he had a shit game until then I get why he is picked but to be honest I notice no difference at the moment in building pressure or looking like scoring whether it's madden or brooks I rather go for the youth option.

Not weird at all Vozzy, been thinking the same.

Good Luck with your life!

He's got his daggy old Y fronts in a tangle coz I went on the souths page and dared suggest they got a leg-up from the ref. Politely suggested, I might add . . . .
And yes, for a group that had to beg every other supporter to help them out, they don't have any self respect.
And funnily, they think that they don't get a fair go from the refs.

It’s funny (not haha funny) when a team gets on top,there forwards look twice as big as the team getting beat?
I think we have some good forwards an certainly some coming, but it seems to me, we are still missing that beast type player, I thought we had one in Musgrove, but not last night?
Anyone think Lodge might be an answer?

Musgrove is a pretender, somebody had a crack at me the other week when I said it, then the dickheads at the club let go of a 21 year, who while lacking some maturity had more talent in his big toe than Musgrove.

Doueihi at 14 is a good plan for starters. This two hookers bullshit kills us, one back goes down and massive reshuffles all round, no good. Douehi can play any position in the backline and should the hooker go down you got Brooks or Madden (whoever is playing can slot in). This is the role I thought Peachey would be good for, unfortunately that’s a Signing that has not worked at all

Hopefully we get Flanagan before the bulldogs…The loss of that crucial game against south’s, with a solid team, and the manner of the loss may luckily speed Madges exit, and if the board have courage, it could mean we don’t miss out on Flanagan? Don’t be surprised if things are fast tracked.. The killer for Madge with that game is that we won the first half convincingly, then we got smashed (does that ring a bell?) …That’s mental. That’s the coach..There’s plenty of time over the next 2 weeks with no game, for the board etc to get down and dirty,pull a few strings and make something happen

That's also the past 12 years with numerous coaches. At some point you have to point the finger at the players and start holding them responsible

Let’s see if potter can make a difference at the Bulldogs..see if he’s any good.I don’t know him at all (Taylor was like a teenager.. Cleary did make a difference … sheens ?? for some reason lost the plot. I missed all that )

If the club sacks Madge, then they are absolving the players and we can look forward to the mediocrity continuing.
