2013 Halfback Situation

[Magpies Forever]

WT had better lock in someone. I'm hearing both Humble and Miller have now gone. That leaves only Moltzen and Chisholm (and Chisholm is a great unknown being able to break into a NRL game for 2012). Moltzen is apparently re-signed but what value is any contract or potential contract with WT until the situation is finalised over Sheens, Humphrey, the board and the 2012 season review?

Great situation you have now placed us in Sheens. For chrissake just pull the pin please and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit- I know Anasta was probably going to be slotted in their by Teflon but I thnk all bets are off at present.

Anasta has the gig.
He was bought to play the halfback role. He left roosters because he wanted to be in the halves.

The board interviews Sheens:

Board: Tim you have advised us that the team has no need to retain young Humble and Miller for 2013, can you tell us what you have in mind for the half position next year.

Sheens: I have a few options and each one offers the team more than Humble and Miller,

Board: Who do you have,

Sheens: Let me finish, I have young Chisholm and he looks the goods,

Boad: But you haven't used him and he can't even get a run in NSW Cup,

Sheens: I have no say over the team selection in NSW Cup,

Board: Sorry Tim, you actually do,

Sheens: Do I? I didn't know that.

Board: OK what if Chisholm doesn't work out,

Sheens: I have Benji and he has said all year that he is happy there,

Board: We have been well informed that what he tells you and says to the press is not actually how it feels,

Sheens: Really, he hasn't said a thing to me, I'm shocked, he's like a son to me, I never thought he's not be happy there.

Board: OK so Chisholm doesn't work out and we want Benji to go back to 5/8 what will you do now?

Sheens: Robbie, he's my man and will

Board: Hold on, have you not heard the rumours that he has had a few calls from Ricky and

Sheens: Who's Ricky?

Board: Stuart,

Sheens: No, Ricky would have said something, I can't believe this.

Board: Tim, do you actually know what's going on with your squad?

Sheens: Well yes I do, to morrow we have a working bee to re-arrange the equipment in the gym, all of the guys are on baord and after we do that we will have a sausage sizzle to say farewell to the guys leaving.

Board: Who is leaving Tim?

The Tigers are getting word from the Warriors around Sheens and will likely organise a delayed payout which, may be $0 if he gets warriors gig at the same salary. Sheens will be used to remove more players so the new coach does not wear collateral damage.

 

[benched tiger]

Even if they dont take him, we still will be better off punting him as he has lost the players support.His antics and inability to develop a half back for instance show how out of touch he is.

 

[R2Coupe]

As late as Friday night on 2GB, Lote Tuqiri stated Sheens has the support of the players.

 

[drago brelli]

Sounds like he has the support of some of the players. Lote has to say this. According to Gibbs on 2UE Sheens is gone and it's only a matter of working out a pay out amount. Sheens and the Wests Tigers both need a change.

 

[innsaneink]

LoL....Lote just got a new deal....whaddya expect him to say?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Sounds like he has the support of some of the players

I have made a few calls to some guys very close to the club and he has lost support of all of the players.

No player is going to come out and say publicly that they have lost faith in him, think about it, what if the board backed down and decided to retain Sheens, where would those players stand?

The club i.e. the board and Humpty know that he has to go and more importantly, know what they are doing and that is working on the clauses in the contract, dotting the eyes and crossing there tee's in regards to the entire support group.

Only 20 odd minutes to the ramblings on 2GB so that should throw up some interesting comments, especially considering, Roach, a Tiger fan and former player, Fulton, an Australian selector, Brohman a former team mate of Sheens and Hadley cos he loves to tell everyone he knows everything.

 

[benched tiger]

Sheens can take Lote with him as soon as he is shown the door!

 

[R2Coupe]

Is this lost faith due to Ryan and Heighington and perhaps Ayshford and Fulton or the team's performance?

 

[Fordy20]

Is Fulton leaving too?

 

[851]

Miller was pretty good today,works well with korobete too.

 

[R2Coupe]

Is Fulton leaving too?

Fulton and Moltzen according to what you read have contracts pending. It seems the powers to be want a cleanout. Are they going to be really brave and move more on? Change is what has been demanded. It is here now so everything is under review I would imagine.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Moltzen can do one as well
Maybe to the dragons

 

[Matchball]

Moltzen can do one as well
Maybe to the dragons

That would make me stiff.
The troll value alone is priceless.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Hahah could you imagine it
The tools are in here daily trolling as if we did them harm
Listen you stain merge spastics, be thankful the odious little turd reneged and that we were the ones that paid the cretin's wages for a year. You should be on hands and knees showing us monica lewinsky style levels of gratitude for having been spared 26 weeks of the little queer running round in circles, not contesting bombs, pulling a heartlage in the warm up or handing off a kick return to a flat footed winger.

He's good for scoring a try when you're 30 up though, but seeing as it takes the stains a month or so to score 30 points this would have been rare had he joined them

 

[ucantseeme]

Anasta will be #7 in 2013 and I think Jacob Miller will probably be #7 in 2014.

 

[BrotherJim05]

I don't think Miller is going to be doing a runner just yet. He's led his team into the GF this year and now that Sheens is gone he will definitely be looking to stay on if he can. I reckon he needs to be given a better chance, could be the next Cherry Evans.

 

[bjm8]

Give Miller a whole off season with the 7 on his training shirt and a whole season with the 7 on his back. He could be anything but with Sheen's famous in one week out the next he'll be nothing. I'd rather run 15th with a set spine than 9th chopping & changing every week.
