Wests Tigers churn through coaches like toilet paper and if Michael Maguire becomes the next mentor to be flushed by the club, they are just covering up their own mistakes.
The recent conga line of NRL coaches who have attempted to turn the Tigers into a premiership force have all ended up failing, but it s through no fault of their own; the finger should instead be pointed at the executive team and the board. It s always the coach who ends up fighting for his future according to a report on the back page of the paper, so why not the people running the club?

However, Marburg Pacing Association president Scott Neaves and his committee of hardworking volunteers thank the families and trots patrons who braved the damp and threatening weather conditions to enjoy a great day s racing. The crowd appeared to be a fairly even mix of new and regular faces which makes the Marburg crew believe that they, and their harness racing product, are beginning to be seen as a great entertainment and value for money operation in the Greater Ipswich footprint.
