I will say. Season over. I am an optimist usually, but Madge has to change the way he coaches in game.
How can Madge expect any consistancy from the playing group when he has zero set roles when it comes to bench rotation.
Why the **** did he play Paix for 80 minutes this week, and not 80 the previous weeks, yet insisted on bringing Bunt on as a hooker. Then tonight he uses Bunt at lock for 50 minutes, he is 34 years old. 20 minutes MAX. Absolute waste of interchanges too.
Basically Reyno off, Mam on, Roger's on for bunt, and then you can bring on another forward for the Mam injury, and just have Rogers / Duffy in halves. With a much bigger pack.
Arthars needs some speed training. He has gotten far too slow. Verhoeven, albeit raw, he looks like a keeper.
Riki looks like he ****ed his foot again...Mam out with AC joint possibly...Reyno and Bunt old and ****ed.
I also hated how commentators acted like our injuries were as bad as souths...it is like, we couldn't field a full 19 players 2 weeks ago. And we still have the most players used. Not using it as an excuse, but they obviously brought it up for a reason
I am not going to give the bullshit "bad attitude" excuse. Because we ALWAYS get labelled that regardless of if we win or not.
Madge just needs to read the room and make the changes. Meaning, old guard needs to move on. No more Reyno, Bunt and Talty has regressed. Our starting 13 is about as good as we can do due to the injury list. But ****, the bench is diabolical
Where the **** is Jaiyden Hunt too! So frustrating.
