I'm concerned ...

The players return for pre season training in 6 weeks or so. I understand that after round 26 Emperor HUmpty went on the Game Plan to back coach Sheens and informed the masses that the supercoach was driving everyone mad and was re arranging the gym equipment.

I would like to know did supercoach finish re arranging the gym before he was flicked ? Or has humpty called in some Toyota Cup players to fill the void and put an artistic slant on the layout of the camp Concord gym. Knowing the Tigers we have dropped in to Missionbeat and/or secured 10 work experience kids to perform the task and Wayne Cousins is salivating at the thought of faxing the press release to prospective sponsors.

Rumours also abounded of a return of the great Royce Simmons and I am wondering if Humpty signed a letter of intent and lodged a contract with the NRL for the Sizzler's esteemed flying fox that had has average 52 missed tackles per game and concede 28 points per game under its tenure.

2013 could be a long season if the gym and flying fox situations are not sorted out and I hope the u20s are studying appropriate feng shui at TAFE/School the next few weeks. Coach Sheens will be too busy to spend too much time at Camp COncord given his Kangaroos commitments and the thoughts about whether BOyd, Farah or Cherry Evans will be the lucky 3 minute man in Townsville. I feel it might be Robbie as the great man teaches him a lesson for his part in the not bloodless coup that has just gone down at Camp Concord.

Sheens is a man with a long memory. Murray Hurst has not coached again in the NRL and it could be a similar fate for the Tigers new coach if he is off to a bad start. Pritchard has the poison pen ready to come to the defence of his old mate and will be fuming that he won't be getting his 7% next time supercoach's contract is up and Pritchard manufactures worldwide interest for Mr 40% from the likes of the Brisbane Broncos, AC Milan, the Green Bay Packers and the NY Yankees.

I think it's a bit too early to be writing off 2013. Although there is still a lot of uncertainty and It is a bit unsettling seeing all the negative headlines.

I think the warriors are making a play for someone. Why else would contenders like Morgan and Kearney withdraw their hat from the ring?

Humphries is quoted as saying the sheenius will have nothing to do with first grade next season. Given the crap he dished up on the game plan only a few weeks earlier re 'Tim is the best man for the job' fans should all be sleeping a little easier knowing there'll b a new WT coach in 2013 :)

After watching blokes like fotuaika, sue, Santi, korobeite, nofoaluma etc running straight and hard, rowe catching bombs and bringing the ball back at speed, two genuine halves playing what they see and worst of all FOUR FORWARDS on the bench, it saddens me to know that these blokes will never get coached by Tim sheens. Hard to imagine their careers going anywhere playing like they did in the 20s

Im concerned we're following the same path as Parra...just two years down the track.

Certain players have instilled the 'boys club' mentality for far to long at the club. If we bring in a coach who forces them to knuckle down and play his way, without garnering respect, then its highly likely we'll have a Kearney mark ii season next year. And considering how late in the year it is....

Look at the teams that have won it since 06. Coached by Bellamy, Bennett and Hasler. 3 tough, admired and respected men all across the board. As were not getting either of these 3 i sure as hell hope we get a coach like Maguire who seems to display all the early halkmarks of the coaching elite.

It's why I believe what a little birdy told me, there is an assistant coach who:
* was assistant to Bennett,
* was assistant to Bellamy
* was head coach at Catalans Dragons,
* as a player, played 20 times for QLD and 8 times for Australia.
Kevin Walters is the man for the TIGERS.

Kevin Walters does not have the experience for a divisive board and playing group. Its a bad choice so next time you see the birdie give it an uppercut.

Walters was also a monumental disaster at Catalans. Let’s see first Potter coaches the Catalans as a perennial finals team, Walters takes over and they win the spoon and the Trent Robinson takes over and they are back as a finals team.

Potter, Folkes or Brown for me please.

I took Walters off my shortlist when I came to learn of his record at Catalans. If you look at the record of the rookies potter has most covered

I believe Daniel Anderson is the best fit for the Tiges. Surprised that he's not getting any serious mentions as a contender.

Any other club who sack their coach name a replacement asap,for some reason WT board have decided to leave everyone in the dark concerning the announcement,surely this situation is of no benefit to the players and supporters.If they are holding out for Sheens to move elsewhere than this could back fire and harm our preparations for next season if it continues on .

He is easily the best qualified and reasons he was punted 1) Warriors went into administration & new ownership 2)Parra Board sacking him because he was hired by Fitzgerald.

2 teams to GFs and is Sydney based. He must not be interested or we can't afford him as media would pay well.

The ABC wouldn't pay much. However he would expect to get paid fairly as a first grade NRL coach. Shouldn't have to accept a poor deal due to the Tigers stuff up.
