Firstly I'd punt all sheens support staff.
Skando,Royce,etc and then I'd punt Moltzen and Lote and give Benji a good dose of reality.

Agree with Matchball. Lote & Moltzen would be sent packing tonight.

We should then have some coin in the kitty to look at some 'QUALITY' improvements to the holes in the roster.

It still scares me that we have not replaced Ellis.....?

If your talking in terms of replacing Ellis with a high profile second rower then we already did that with Blair, and that did not work out the way we wanted.

If your talking about replacing Ellis in terms of a quality second rower then we are already set with Fulton, BMM, Pettyborne and that young Fouika (or however the f**k you spell it) junior coming through the ranks.

Any money we spend on any position anywhere should instead be spent on a halfback, although I would really like to see Miller have a crack at it.

Blair was not bought to replace Ellis? Blair signed a good 9 months before Ellis' decision to return to UK.

With all respect to the 2nd rowers you have mentioned, Fulton is the only one I would rate as 'quality'. I can't see the others starting for the Tigers in 2013 & in no way are they comparable to Ellis.

It was only a few months ago we were chasing Luke Lewis pretty hard. Since then we've lost Hyno & Ryan. My point is that there should be some money available to chase an elite player? We were due to have Ellis on the books in 2013, so hopefully we still have room in the cap.

1) Extend Millers contract now and give him the 7 jersey.
2) Move Marshall to 6.
3) Punt Moltzen and Tuqiri.
4) Get Ayshford in the Gym to gain power and speed.
5) Start Noafaluma straight way.
6) Advise Anasta he will be playing from the bench.

1. f**k off Sheens and support staff
2. f**k off Lote and Moltzen and Anasta if possible
3. Bitch slap Benji
4. Get Miller in 7 all offseason and give him minumum first 12 weeks of season
5. Buy 2 props and an aggressive second rower
6. Trade Ayshford if not Lawrence for Jennings
7. Put everyone on notice and start with a clean slate
8. Use Utai properly
9. Drop underperforming players and promote on merit
10. Become the people's coach by being open, honest and transparent

First thing I'd do would be to have a private chat with Robbie Farah to get his thoughts on what has been going on at the club and to ask what he thinks the priorities are.
Then, get rid of all the Sheens era support staff and bring in a new team.
Benji to 5/8
Buy a prop

Take Benji aside and find an article from 2005 where the journo said a Tigers dynasty was possible because of all the talented youngsters we have, led by Benji. I'd then ask him if he felt like he'd reached his potential from back then.

I'd tell all the players that none of their spots are assured for round 1, and nobody is safe from the axe at any point during the season.

1. Quash the Miller to Hull rumours
2. Train Miller in the number 7 shirt all off season
3. Bulk him up, mentor him, do whatever it takes to ready him for 2013
4. Play Miller in the number 7 all season no matter what

Anyone know what the situation is with Miller,???? I heard on 2UE (either Alexnader or Gibbs) saying the Titans are interested in him if/when they lose Prince

Hull have put final offers on the table for Miller and Prince. According to our CEO the offer for Miller is a long deal on mega money as they know Gold Coast will be losing Prince either way and want Miller as his replacement. Not looking good for you guys.

this team can do quite well even in the state its in, if we can get Miller (or if he heads to Hull, Chad Townsend to the club) as the regular 7.

Tell Benji he is a support player who should run at the line and create opportunities that way.

That will immediately reduce Farah's workload and responsibilities and improve our centres and subsequently, wingers.

Then tell Blair, he has a year to make up for 2012, otherwise he can kiss his contract goodbye.

We need 2 blokes to join fulton in the back row who are willing to play hard unattractive footy. Make the metres, do the hit ups, make the tackles.

Thats pretty much it.

1. Give Benji a bag of cement and tell him to harden the f**k up
2. Train Miller as a number 7 in the offseason
3. Tell Moltzen he is now a utility, but his place as utility is not certain
4. Give Kirotebete English lessons to help boost his confidence
5. Drop Tiquiri to NSW Cup, train Nuofala as replacement winger to come in as soon as Utai injurs himself
6. By a mean motherf**ker of a prop....Brent Kite would be my first choice
7. Tell Ray Cashmere to not even think about asking for a contract extention
8. Put Ayshford on notice, tell Simona to be prepared to take his spot if he doesn't lift his game
9. Develop a solid solid spione consisting of Tedesco, Marshall, Miller and Farah. Anasta to Lock as we no longer have one and we want our spine to be long term
10. Get naked witht the cheerleaders

1. Train a bunch of juniors from the U20's up at firsts.
2. Set a standard for our defense. Once the defense has been trained into them as hard nails, then then the attack will come easy.
3. None of this 2nd chance bullshit. If you're not giving 100% effort each week in and out then you'll be dropped to NSW cup as a wake up call (ie should of happened to Moltzen or Blair a few times)

those would be my main focuses
