Not many options out there in fairness, unless you take a punt on a rookie.
I reckon the average punter could achieve Trent's numbers.
i was going to make a joke about Benji and the Tigers until i realised that TBaz won 40% of his games at Manly with DCE, prime Turbos, young AFB and Walker, prime Marty Taupau.
Yeah, they could have coached themselves to 10 wins
gee the Broncos really resent the Lions being in the GF tomorrow
First they sack their coach, and now Mam and Walsh are in trouble in Bali
interesting hearing from Broncos insiders, Madge is preferred target with Ennis and Teo as assistants. Not a group I would have necessarily associated together

Teo did play under Maguire when Souths went all the way in 2014, and Ennis is always around teams in some capacity.

That makes sense, forgot about the Souths link
Melbourne's recruitment strategy pays off bigly as Grant, Munster, Hughes and Papi all have massive games as they score 48 points in a preliminary final to book a date in the GF.
Score doesn't tell the story of the Roosters giving them and almighty fright to be within 6 early in the 2nd half.
Pretty fucking fun game of footy. Melbourne in this form will be hard for even Penrith to handle.
NAS will be hoping for GF leniency or he's watching the game with the rest of us

Don't Origin rules apply to GF?
I think he plays, think if it wasn’t NAS it doesn’t even get 10 in the bin, so many of those shoulder contacts slipping up not even given this year

I think it's 50/50, it's a chance for the Aussies to rub him out for the Pacific Cup.

Looks like you’re right, they gave him 4 weeks
Penrith make tough work of Cronulla but the chin pulls out the big plays to get them there.
We get the grand final we all predicted but picking a winner here will be tough.
It makes you wonder if the Broncos management had planned to bring in Madge before sacking Walters. Maguire released from NSWRL role and said to be announced within days as head coach by Broncos
i reckon it's a decent signing. By all accounts he's pretty firm, and a few of the youngsters at Brisbane need to pull their heads in

In all honesty I was surprised when I actually got round to watching the game, in a league context it didn't even look binnable let alone worthy of a suspension.

He's extremely tough with his training regimes, probably too tough for this generation. Even his likely assistant Ben Te'o refused to take part in some of the training sessions back at Souths, saying he'd happily be dropped if it goes any further, which forced Madge to go easier on the players.
I feel like this is either gonna be a masterstroke appointment, or it could go horribly wrong.

thats exactly why I thought he might get off, looks like theyre rubbing him out for the Internationals as well

Agree, sort of feel, if the players buy in to this, it will be a master stroke, but if they dont player revolt on the cards
