Quote I hope Maguire can improve our team but I don't see how an assistant coach is going to change the same team that Noble had, with Noble who had more experience and more knowledge of the English game than some 2nd rate Aussie.'"
Quote hope he can bring something different with new ideas but I just think people shouldn't be getting to excited with an un proven 1st team coach and the possibly of falling further back.'"
Quote He's hardly 1st class when he's not even been 1st team coach. Don't let facts get in the way though.'"
Quote lright then, let's wait until the end of next season at least to see if anythings changed. If we have improved then I'll take it all back and be the first to admit I was wrong. I however don't see how people can get so excited about an assistant coach taking over who has never had 1st team coaching experience, that's all.'"
Now is your chance

| What's that old saying? An Elephant never forgets? I'm more than happy to admit I was wrong and the hard work that Maguire and the players have done have given us some good entertaining rugby. It's been a good year and we are in a far better position than in previous years, here's to the next years that he's with us.

| I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm going to stick up for Rouse here.
What he said was very true, we did get rather giddy. Turns out his worries were unfounded, and Madge has done an excellent job. However he is by no means perfect, and the flaws he does have surround the management of players.
Given the way he expects his players to respond to his coaching and advice though, I more than expect him to improve on this over the coming years.

Can you just elaborate on the part highlighted above. I'm just wondering which players have been mismanaged by Madge in your opinion.

Me too
I still stand by what I said with regard it being a huge gamble but it appears to be a gamble that has paid off. We haven't won anything of note yet though - here's hoping. Would be the perfect birthday weekend!!

I'd say on several occaisions this season he's mismanaged his 17 and his interchanges, for example. That said, it's a skill he would not have refined as an understudy and can only gain with experience. Just wouldn't like people to get carried away thinking we have theperfect coach, albeit he's done a fantastic job so far.

We've certainly improved which I questioned and you can see where we're heading.
I'm now 110% in the 'Madge is God' camp

I don't think anybody would say Madge has been perfect. There's been a few occasions when his use of the subs bench has left a lot to be desired (the CC game at Leeds being an example that springs to mind) and he's not handled Feka's situation as well as I'd like. He's not always been the understudy either. He took charge of the first team at Melbourne whenever Craig Bellamy was coaching the NSW Origin team so it's not like he's never had to make an interchange call or pick a 17 before

Agreed.
I thought you were referring to individual players that Madge had some how mismanaged.
