Michael Maguire (rugby league) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Heard his name mentioned tonight. I must say, I'm not a fan.
This is the first time I can remember BA really ripping into the team. Based on that I'm assuming that he has been told to get the team performing otherwise he'll be on the unemployment queue at year end, and its about time. Regardless the club should be talking to Bennett for next year irrespective of where we end up. It is probably since 2010 since he won a premiership, and it might be behind him now, but he can certainly identify talent and knows speed is the key to having a good team. With him we mightn't win a premiership but the team would certainly perform better until we get another coach to take over from him.
Did you find it uncomfortably ironic hitting “post reply”, being the self appointed troll pointer dog of the forum, and then trolling me ?
Yeah. Undecided on Madge probably biassed by his Tales from Tiger Town exposure and his lack of success there. He seems perfectly suited as a Rep Coach. In and out.
Russell is solid without being a standout. He might be better if we played an expansive game but we don't so catches a cold on the edge. Has all the attributes to be a good winger but our coach is hopeless at developing him further.
Because his NRL coaching career seems to be all intensity and low on invitation or adaptation. He seems to go well with a top tier squad, but not so good with building a squad or bringing the best out of a squad that is not gifted with the best players.
And we have no obvious replacement for Gutho. Pretty well par for course for this club, 3 years and no replacements for ANY players in the spine except Asi. Extremely poor roster management.Gutherson’s secret injury revealed as Eels review Darwin deal
Parramatta captain Clint Gutherson is playing through the pain of a knee injury that required fluid to be drained from it just to take the field in Darwin as the Eels review whether Friday’s horror trip to the Top End should be their last.
The club’s finals hopes could be all but over within a month after another second-half capitulation, this time to the Dolphins, to heap further pressure on Brad Arthur
.Arthur’s position is safe for now, but even he would admit the pressure will be right on if there are further capitulations like the one against the Dolphins, as well as the Raiders earlier this month.
The No.1 barely trained in the Top End during the week, and not for the first time required fluid drained from his knee on game day.
He underwent surgery on his right knee over the summer, but has continued to experience problems and chronic pain.
Painkilling injections do not help, while fans would have noticed him grimace in pain when he kicked the final goal
The Eels are contracted to play one game per season in the Northern Territory until the end of next year, but the club is considering whether it remains a prudent move to keep taking games to the region after Friday’s devastating loss.
The relationship has been financially rewarding and Darwin proved a happy hunting ground in its early years. However, the blue and golds have conceded 105 points in their last three “home” games in the Northern Territory – all against Queensland teams – and scored just 36.
The trip, against opponents more accustomed to the tropical conditions, has been a physically taxing one that limits the team’s ability to prepare for their next assignment.
“As is the case with anything in the normal course of business, it’s something we need to reflect on and review,” said Parramatta chief executive Jim Sarantinos.
The immediate issue for Arthur is there are no troops ready to replace the players who were so disappointing against the Dolphins.
There has been a push for Ethan Sanders to be given a debut in the halves, but there remain concerns about him being physically ready.
The Raiders on Monday made a three-year offer to Sanders, which he is expected to take up for the start of 2025

Gutherson’s secret injury revealed as Eels review Darwin deal
Parramatta’s finals hopes go on the line the next month as it can be revealed Clint Gutherson needed fluid drained from his knee before kick-off in Darwin.www.smh.com.au
I am guessing that AMS would have been the next man up if not for his knee explosion.
Well the successful coaches other than Belly like Clint Eastwood and Ivan Cleary and rising star Andrew Webster etc have steel in their teams and don’t throw chairs around. So maybe there’s more to it ?
It's more than acceptable at Parra, in fact it gives you 11 years and counting.
Yes it would be a weird conclusion to draw. Perhaps it's just coincidence that the forum erupts with calls to sack the coach whenever we lose but goes silent when we win. If he needs to go the result doesn't matter does it?
Lol....going silent doesn't mean we suddenly don't want him sacked....
winning 1 game masks the issues but they are still there
He's probably read your posting history on LU.
Victim Gronkles at it again.
Michael Maguire won a premiership after three years with Souths. Was it his team? In three years with Wests he didn't even make the finals. Was that his team? Even more interesting, he missed the finals in his fifth and sixth years with Souths. Was that even more his team than the grand final winning squad he had after three years? Which were his teams and which weren't? How could he build a premiership winning squad within three years at Souths but after six it couldn't make the finals? How come he couldn't even make the finals at Wests after three years? Why don't you f**kEN THINK FFS?!?BA has to go straight away, period, and I'm absolutely sick of the clown ba excusing supporters, who excuse the bush coach saying he hasn't been given the team to succeed, That's f**king bullshit. The coach has the final say on what players he wants in his team and is part of r and r, & after 11 years the clowns
are still saying that he doesn't have the tools to work with lol.
There's half a dozen coaches better than Arthur and hundreds who are worse. Maguire is one of those.
