Sadly the tab sound about right. Of the 8 sides who played finals football we'd have to be in the worst shape of any of them in terms of how we finished our season and our retention and recruitment for next season which seemed to be based entirely on bringing Sam back. Both Manly and the Warriors will make the 8 next year. It's very hard to see us finishing higher than 9th or 10th.
I'll be interested to see how Madge performs with a roster that is NOT OBVIOUSLY the best as it was with Sths in the last few years & with Wigan!
He had the luxury of having the very best players at Wigan--no doubt there--a huge advantage!!
Sths have been right up there with the best rosters in the last few years too.
It certainly doesn't appear that we are still in the above position now. We are now looking middle of the road unless something very good springs out of left field with recruitment.
Is Madge capable of lifting an average side to a top result using the same old dreadful tactics?? I have severe doubts there!
Maybe he can push the offload stat to over 170 next season!!???
Let's see how good a coach he can be under real pressure.
