It was Des all along coaching thread

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sounds like a salary cap grey area, especially if Ivan’s contract is huge. He would be a middle ranked coach in my view. Decent but not worth Bellamy money.

I’m very sure that’s part of it “ nudge nudge wink wink “ Ivan you are on 1.5 million a year but really it’s $650k and the other $850k is Nathan’s , meanwhile we’ll show his salary on the cap at $350k”.

Yep yet another Rort in the offering!!

My rumoured rumours for today:

Cleary to Riff
Baz to Tigers
Peachy to Parra
Norman to Titans


Now for a covfefe

You must really dislike the tigers

 

[tookey]

Apparently Ivan and Nathan offered a 10 million contract for 3 years ( by the Riff), wow, big money for a 20 year old and a coach with a win ratio of less than 50%!!

Panthers the new roosters with no salary cap

More great decisions by Gould along with retaining Sam McHendry, signing Tamou and Merrin and releasing Luke Lewis and Moylan

 

[The better Robbo]

* Payout Trent Barrett

Head Coach: Michael Maguire
Assistant Coach: Madge Choice
Recruitment / List Manager: Madge Choice
Fitness Coach: Matt Ballin

Make Chad Randall replacement for Lambkin
Make Cartwright coach for Blacktown

Basically the only person displaced (by their own choice) would be Trent Barrett. The Penn's continue to pay Cartwright and Randall the same (no additional cost).

The club were hiring additional staff anyway.

Coach Madge
Assistants cartwright and Randall
Head trainer Ballin

2ky big sports breakfast reporting madge strongly linked to manly.

Well given it's a lapdog Ritchie article you can be assured it's come straight from Zorba. You just have to work out whether it's genuine mail or some agenda driven smokescreen.

If souffs didn't win that gf how would people rate Madge.
It was pretty mundane footy that won them the title in my opinion.

Give me mundane any day over most of the crap we served up last year

Hopefully if Maguire comes he will bring his own fitness staff so we can piss off Ferris

Footy show may have lost its way , but back in the day loved Fatty calling out Gus - "His head looks like its been stung by a thousand bee's"

a case of the pot calling the kettle black

 

[manlywarringah]

I’m not sure if we will be as flamboyant under Maguire in attack but I know our defence will be better.

As much as I like attacking footy, I realised this year how much I miss good defence.

Maguire will give us that and with Turbo, DCE and possibly Walker in the side, I can’t help but think our attack will still be good.

All we need is our defence fixed and we’re a top 8 side.

Kind of, but the photo they showed of Gus had the swollen bumps all over his melon....also used to like the look alike section - some rippers on there & they never missed Fatty on that segment !!

Yep, throughout 2018 you just knew at some point they’d go into their shells and bingo we’d get 18-24 against us in a flash!!

Hopefully a decent coach would fix that!!

As if anyone would be that stupid to hire him again?

I really doubt that those figures are correct Mark, Nathan Cleary would not be on more than one million a year, and at best Ivan would be on similar money, unless Gould has lost his marbles.

Especially with Walker in the centres from where he should never have been moved.

You would think that whenever and wherever Maguire lobs up he's got enough nous to realise that his blueprint with Souths was ultimately the thing that got him moved on.
He was steadfast and tried to maintain the rage which ultimately wore flat with the players, loosen up a bit and he might be good value, if he doesn't he'll be found out pretty quickly again.

I think a lot of the souths players went awol after the gf win, for a couple of years. The burgess bros looked like reserve graders, Isaac luke became very inconsistent (yeah I know api was in the gf), Sutton lost form etc. they were in the wilderness.

Is it too early for a Sack Madge thread?

Yeah- imagine what our results would have been like in 2018 if we conceded just one try less per game
