I know Madge means well and is probably a decent guy, he has to go. We have a stream of players with years to go on their contracts we need to get rid of even if it means paying them out, even if it means the end of our club. We don't deserve to be playing in the NRL. We can't possibly sack enough players (sign enough players) for us to even dream of finishing top 10 next year.
Spoon this year? Maybe
Spoon next year?Probably
Anything to be hopeful about in the next 3-5 years? Don't think so.
I agree. I don’t like changing coaches so much but he has to go.
This is a results based business and his returns are a disgrace. Let’s look at his legacy as a coach here;
Aweful recruitment, especially in the forwards. I don’t think there is one forward in this club who is a genuine starter. They are all benchies at best. It will be a couple more years until the young ones come good.
Our spine are not playing together. There are no combinations between them. There is no general enacting a game plan. They all play for themselves in an ad hoc manner. Three of them have explosive pace off the mark yet are not thriving in the sped up version of the game. None of them can ice a game against good opposition. Dare I say it, but there is more than a bit of downhill skiing amongst them.
Our centres and wingers are mistake riddled and often let in more points than they post. Nofoaluma is the pick of them and on a good day is a 7/10 player. Not a gun. This is another dreadful area of recruitment missteps.
Our attack is muddled and confused. No direction. Tonight they played a team missing almost an entire run on side worth of players and the tactic was 4 x one off hit ups, a half arsed backline spread and a useless kick. Set after seat after set..The Warrior forwards ran in pairs, they threw the ball everywhere, constantly asking questions. With a half decent side they would have posted 50.
The defence was hopeless. Individuals tackled well but as a unit they were ineffective and weak. This is nothing new though as we have been shit defenders right from 2000. No merkin has ever gotten this club to commit to defence. It is baffling that the Wests Tigers don’t fix such an important facet of the game that they are awefuly weak at.
Anyway I could go on but what’s the point? It is only the fans who give a shit. The players and the dead shits who hire, train and prepare them are an embarrassment to the game of Rugby League.
