Yeah cmon out with it
Blore doesn't think the training has softened? Do you think Bellamy and others train soft? I read that Bennett isn't that hard, but players play and coaches coach, if the players don't like it, then move on, these blokes are living the dream at around $5k a week, ffs.Ok.
The clues explained before I put it all together
Picture: bj
Sick mum: bj and Lucy
Missing: Excessive Harsh training
Changes: Madge amending his style
After his release bJ went his media rampage about players being too frightened to speak up.
His points were apparently true.
A number of players were criticising Madge behind his back.
This was apparently true.
Madge kept changing systems, players upset with this.
The reason provided to me was that the players felt Madge was working the players too hard and players felt hemmed in. Things were very bad.
The club hierarchy hadn't created an atmosphere of honesty and buying in from players. Apparently, Pascoe not approachable.
BJ realised that he’s never coming back so he just cut loose with hard truths.
When I went back and read his article, he speaks about the Canberra culture and how inclusive and open Ricky was.
Madge seems to have got the message and is reining it in.
The expectation from the player was that unless Madge changes, he will not get through 2022. No chance.
So if people think the article was a gripe by a disappointed angry player, that’s true. But he also used facts to support his case.
This is confirmed by the other player who was let go.

Blore fit and firing ahead of pre-season trials
Shawn Blore says he can't wait for trials to kick off after a long pre-seasonwww.weststigers.com.au
I think your points coming from a disaffected player don't hold too much ground, agree Madge did change things at times, but I think that was because we were playing shit.
As for Ricky, wasn't BJ was scathing about him when he left there, as were the poms who played there?
An old saying, "only 17 players will like the coach each week"?

I didn't like the silver phantom at first. I have to admit that the man has grown on me over time. Entertaining poster, whether you agree with him or notI still can't figure out what you are on.

I was happy to play the guessing game only because I was bored at the time and it amused me. Thats all I took it for something to amuse us in the off season.I like him as well but I'd prefer if he just came out with whatever he is going to tell us anyway.
For instance I disagree that Madge is too tough or anything like that and if the team isn't training hard I'd be spewing. I am pretty confident they are training hard though.

I agree, but it depends where the disconnect was coming from? Everyone is under pressure to not repeat last seasons crap?I was happy to play the guessing game only because I was bored at the time and it amused me. Thats all I took it for something to amuse us in the off season.
As for Maguire- I dont know, no doubt he is on his last chance I'd think. Something happened last season between the coach and player group with an obvious disconnect and not performing. Yes, the club supported him and kept him on after a review, but the club stepped in and made changes to his support staff etc despite him apparently not wanting it. So, if the disconnect continues, surely he is out- and soon.

Yeah, I have to say I went into the off season not overly caring about WT / NRL and being somewhat underwhelmed with the upcoming 2022 season, but now I have to say I cant wait for the guys to get on the field and either put up or shut up.It's boring as all f**k isn't it. Go Barty and all but it ain't the footy.
Yep, happens every year, doesn’t it?Yeah, I have to say I went into the off season not overly caring about WT / NRL and being somewhat underwhelmed with the upcoming 2022 season, but now I have to say I cant wait for the guys to get on the field and either put up or shut up.
Fair enough.For all the criticism Lee gets, he's a passionate WT Fan and is our major sponsor,so I can cut him some slack.
Pascoe, on the other hand has overseen 7 failed seasons and has cost us 700k in a Cap fine by mismanaging Robbies contract.
Pascoe and Hartigan would've negotiated that deal, I doubt Lee has any input into signings. He just needs to stop talking to the media, always ends badlyFair enough.
You forgot the Moses 60% off sale to sgi.
We are paying 1.5 times the price of a factory player to another club. A gift.
Whoever negotiated that should be shot on sight.
Do that kind of thing at my work and don’t bother coming in the next day!
Lee is passionate, he is wealthy and it’s nothing personal, but by his own lofty standards, he’s not cutting it.
Nothing personal. He’s just hopeless.
