I’ve never subscribed to that theory..The coach creates the attitude to make the team want to tackle for him and play for him.He plots the win with strategies, what to do and not to do, as a team and individuals so they are clear! when they run out.Nope that’s an attitude thing. The coach doesn’t make tackles or throw passes .

Of course when teams are winning then the coach gets massive praise/ credit for the players doing the right thing and having the right attitude?
I think the players are as confused as the coach...and I don’t think Madge losing his temper has helped much either
You obviously know more about league than me Pezz seriously and I doubt we will agree on much ever. That’s ok but I won’t budge on the importance of the coach creating the motivation and clarity etc for the players when they run out, or why even worry about whose the coach ..once the respect for the coach disappears everything including motivation disappears ..I doubt Benji will be back next year..I think Madge is doing his head in..These blokes are playing at the highest level if they can’t motivate themselves they shouldn’t be there, although I do agree there is an element of man management in terms of taking away or
Manipulating players environments so that they only have to worry about playing footy. Bellamy, Bennett, Robinson all have significant skill in this regard. In terms of doing it for the coach the mentality should be for yourself and your team.
Madges record is pretty bloody good. He drives the boys hard, no doubt but he has won premierships both here and in the UK, his credibility as a coach can’t really be questioned.

Yea but the players that played today arnt that bad (apart from Brooks) ..Thats a coaching thing ..
I thought we weren’t far away...I asked you a month back far away from what?I reckon we need to keep Madge but it's going to take a long time to turn this team around. He is right in that you can turn it around quickly but you need the cattle.

The answer you are looking for is the spoon.
I'm starting to come around to your way of thinking.
Look at how flat we are attacking the opposition line, whereas the Knights were deep af. Their depth allows them to spread the ball and get some momentum before the defence gets there, whereas when you are flat like we are, the defence just rushes up and shuts everything down. No one gets any momentum and nothing happens. Surely attacking shapes come back to coaching.
Take another look when we are coming out of our own half. Simple one out running most of the time. Players aren't running options, so the defence knows who to target and they slow the play the ball down and we don't put ourselves in position to make an attacking kick that might get a try or a repeat set. In defence as well, we don't seem to wrestling or slowing down the play the ball. The Knights just rolled up the park like they did against us in Round 2 and provided a platform for their backs to work off.
I know it's not Madge coughing up the ball early in the tackle count, but are players being coached to stand the way they do or are they just not doing what they are told?
No but Brooks is less of an answer than all of them, right?Benji is cactus mate, and Walters is 26 if he was a good NRL player he wouldn’t be playing at the Tigers. They are most definitely not the beginning of a competitive side. We’ve got real dramas there. You might give Reynolds and Walters a go for the rest of the season, but they’re not the answer either.
Raiders rebuilt their side with a discard fullback and an unknown pom at hooker. So there is hope for us right..For years and years and years at the end of the season I have had hope for next season. We are a fair way of the end of the season but I see no hope of us finishing top 8 next year. I think we are stuck with some mega buck dud players next year as well. Then after so many years of failing who would want to join us\? So we pay big bucks for average players and dance the same dance all over again.
I think I am the most disappointed I have ever been in 50 years as a Wests supporter.

Lol you’ve changed your tune.I don’t know why we even bothered to turn up.
Disgraceful, cowardly, wholesale sackings required.
Madge can go too if this is growth.
This game was a filthy indelible stain on the jersey.
Blow it all up.
Changing avatar in protest until we play well.
Don’t rub it in!Lol you’ve changed your tune.
Not at all. You have been red pilled. Welcome aboard.Don’t rub it in!
