Round 1, 2005 - just to show that Sheens hasn't just recently lost his marbles, it's been happening for a while:

Wests Tigers v Parra @ Telstra:
9 - Ben Galea (tipped by Tim to become a rep hooker)
14. Ben Reynolds (picked for a thousand games before Tim eventually saw how sh*t he was. The highlight of his time with us was his broken leg which spared us having to watch the utter spastic)
When Galea went off, we had Ben Reynolds to hooker

Playing PL for Balmain that weekend was:
9. Robert Farah

Tim Sheens. I salute you. You are indeed a visionary

 

[madunit]

you see, thats the 'blooding' of juniors he spoke so much of in 2004-05

kinda weird how thats all stopped now

 

[themanonthehill]

He only blooded them when there was no option. Like when he had Marshall at centre at Reynolds at 5/8 in 04. Reynolds is one of the 5 biggest spastics to have ever worn the shirt and sheens persisted with him week after week. It was only when we were blessed enough that the cretin snapped his leg badly that Sheens put Benji to 5/8. We were struggling to beat a low Manly side at Leichhardt in 04 and his leg went. Benji to 5/8 and we murdered them.

That is my whole point about sheens. The only way his untouchables are shifted is when they are in hospital. Watch us be stuck with the same sh*t Fitzy and Morris performances next season.

Our ONLY ONLY ONLY hope next season is the NRL decide to cut interchange from 12 to 8 or even better 6. Forwards will be more mobile and there'll be more emphasis on mobility. If the status quo is maintained we are fuct

Benji didn't play in that game against Manly, it was Prince's move from 5/8 back to half when Reynolds got injured which sparked the Tigers.

Benji played centre and then 5/8 i think you'll find.
2004 .. may/june-ish at Leichhardt

Marshall didn't play that game. Round 7, 25th April. Centres were Wilson and Elford with Prince and Reynolds in the Halves. I have a feeling it was Sattler (it could have been Galea or Graham) that went to 5/8, but Marshall definitely didn't play that game.

 

[Eddie.]

The change you are talking about manonthehill is Prince reverting back to halfback for the last 20 minutes and setting up about 3 tries.

Sheens had bought in Reynolds to play 7 for that game ahead of our star recruit who was shifted to 5/8

Benji got injured in Round 4 against the Cows and din't return until Canberra in Round 10 at CTown

I stand corrected. My point stands we only one the game cos that spastic Reynolds broke his leg. Never have i seen such joy. Almost the entire hill cheered when the cretin went off and the minute he did we all knew we would piss the game in
