Remember Madge was also in the running for the eels job ? I wonder how that would have turned out ? 😂 seems like he's a coach who needs top tier stars to be any good so probably would have ended badly 😂

We would be screwed
He walked a star studded side and was able to add hunt to the mix
He needs to coach sides that are able to be above the cap , souths and now broncos
You do realise he blooded a lot of Souths players right? This talk that he had a great roster at Souths is false.
I rephrase got given a great squad is what I meant.
Madge needs an origin level squad to be successful....it would of been "Tales of Parra Town" with our squad....JR is more suited to our developing team way more IQ then Madge...
Im guessing Madge would have kept gutho and rcg and maybe added some more older players 😂 would have been a disaster most likelyÂ
Look at Souths GF team, he developed them.
he had the whole England Forward pack, Ben Teo, Inglis and lote Turqiri and Reynolds/Kearey at 6 and 7. A fair team LB

If you read my other comments he brought them to the club and debuted Reynolds and Keary. He developed them. Mind you Tuqiri in the last year of his career.
The comment from some was he was given a good squad, he went out and got some great players as well developed others.Â
He built them to a comp. Brisbane he got given that squad fair enough, but got more out of them when Walters couldn't last year.
As I also said, just cause you have a great squad doesn't mean you win a comp, need a good coach to do that. Madge did that.Â
I think Maguire is a good coach but throughout his career he's usually worked with some very talented players at South Sydney, New South Wales and now Brisbane. Even in England he was with Wigan who are usually one of the best teams with the best players. The only time it went sour was at Wests where I think a lot of people would have failed as well. Maguire didn't have the best squad to work with at Wests and obviously the players didn't buy into what he wanted.
Wests in general are the issue. It's not a place people would want to go to. Ryles apparently said to his manager he would crawl through glass to get Eels job. Would he for Tigers job?
