Sack Seibold Immediately

[Eagles4Life]

Who knows? We chased O'Brien.
Who are our assistant coaches for next year?

Hmm........... This aged well...... Assuming, of course, that the AOB chase has been successful.
Watch this space @XV-1 et al
Please note that you still have time to make more **** up on this pursuit.

Everyone has their own thoughts,I am not of the thought that the club is a **** show.
I think that he has been a little hamstrung by having to keep club legends like Tom,Jake and DCE happy(part of the issue having very tribal locals with a small junior nursery producing local heroes).
I thought he was trending upwards until this season,losing Paseka,Aloiai,Croker and long stints on the sideline from Ola and Jake in my opinion has ****ed us.
Madge halfway through the year was being written about as on the way out as the Broncos form was rubbish and Walsh was injured and seriously out of form,Reynolds was injured,Mam was doing Mam things.
I don't know that the coach or their system/structure had anything to do with the turnaround.
I don't see the infighting and leaks from within the club as was in the past,the club has changed the junior recruitment structure and we are slowly getting our contract situation under control.
There were some poor performances and selections from Seibold,but I think under Mestrov things are looking up,you will always be ****ed around by disgruntled/entitled players and managers though.

I will grant you that we are potentially not worse than we were circa 2015-2023 but every “green shoot” seems to wither… I was initially impressed with the changes Mestrov made but this year has been more of the same old failures played out in the media and I have been really non-plussed with some of the signings the last 2 seasons (jmo)…

As for Madge, regardless of what the media may have been salivating over, he made some really Smart Selection decisions this year… he brought in Shibasaki (who had no reputation), dropped Cobbo (despite his reputation), played Walters at 5/8 which was a big call and rotated forwards in and out of the squad based on form…

I hate the donkeys but Madge has coached them very well and you can see that they are no longer playing the flashy no-responsibility footy that was losing them games earlier in the season… they are now willing to win the grind (of course it helps when you have the props they do)
