Lets save Tim Sheens The Great coach we have

[Regan]

Lets save Tim Sheens the Great coach....The guy turned us around its funny that people forget about all the money wasted when the club first started than the Terry Lamb time we had ..Tim came over saved the club turned it around and his style is great would you want to be like any other team the way we play is amazing and its because of Tim Sheens ...I remember when he sign Keith Galloway and many people said no good but he is going to play for Australia one day shaw we have some lemons like Dene Halatau ..Plays ok but he is on huge money and i mean huge and i know that for a fact huge money but thats life ....I hope the team can settle down and just play the football we know it can we can finish strong and go better next year .......And Daine Laurie is fun to watch at times but if he wants to play some where else than let him go

The fact is, he's simply not won us enough football matches over his time, we've only made one finals series. It's just not good enough. Can you imagine teams at the top like Saints and the Dogs accepting it? No... which is why they're back to the top!

Wasn't Galloway a McDonnell purchase? I seem to remember the knives out for him at the time when he was signed for 220k. Pittance now isn't it...

 

[Regan]

He was signed for 240k and very good buy but who would you sign as coach ?? Tim is the best for us ... and Nathan Brown was a golden child at Saints and won Zip and Steve won once at the dogs in was it 11 years ??

 

[Regan]

We have alot of talent in the team they just need to click if we can finish in the 8 and be better next year that would be great for the team and for the coach

 

[Flapper]

For all his flaws he still brought my club a premiership where people have failed in the past. I'll be forever grateful for that.

Is this thread a f**king gee up or what ? . We are and have won games due mainly to the amazing talent of some key players. When u look at coaching we still have massive defencive issues which have been with us for years and could be seen again last night. Also coaching has seen key players playiing in the wrong positions and also players not up to first grade standard being picked ahead of more deserving and more talented players. We have overpaid useless players and released good players. What positive things has the coaching staff contributed ? None that come to my mind

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Well, he finally put some players in the key positions that a lot of people here have been screaming for all season. Gallant and Moltzen should have been there all along. And to be honest, it's been the same for the past 2 years as well.

A top line coach wouldn't have J. Morris near the 6 and 7 jumpers yet we had him there for 2 1/2 seasons.

As for Galloway, I was excited when we bought him, he was always going to be the goods, we just had to be patient with him. Hoppa's hit took him back a fair bit but he was always going to be as good as he is now. And he will get better.

Same can be said for Daine Laurie...

I will be forever thankful to T. Sheens and everyone involved for 2005. That doesn't mean I will accept mediocrity ad infinitum.

About defence before someone mention last nights defence was good, it was great and it won us the game. The defence flaws i am talking about isnt about effort but about defencive patterns that continualy have huge weaknesses when probed by the opposition. If you think the coach made us win last night why didnt the coach make us win in 04/06/07/08 ? IMO they have started winning again because with finally the correct team chosen(almost) they are happy and confindent and are playing for each other and not for shines and co. Plus he is a gutless prick who has let the players take to blame and not ONCE ever admitted to coaching errors.

 

[macnaz]

His latest quote in regard to our sudden improvement is not that the correct 1 7 and 6 has been selected but its the fact they are playing of the back of an improved effort in defence. What a coward. At least Parra's coach put his hand up and said Hayne at five eight was wrong and didnt work.

Ps. Sorry bout multi posts... Dam phone can only fit in so much txt lol

I knew this would happen.
We put a few together and look like just squeezing in the 8 and the fact that he has played Morris in the Halves for 3/4 of the year would be forgotten.
Sheens is a joke and we are embarrassing. We haven’t made the 8 for years (coming after a GF Win) and we have to pay overs for standard players.
Shouldn’t it be highlighted that Sheens obviously has no idea due to the fact of How Moltzen is going now? and Benji?
Benji was a joke at 7. Morris was a joke at 5/8. Everyone knew this except the super coach. Now both players are where they should be and playing well. Morris is awesome off the bench but just shocking starting in the halves. Benji was below average at 7 and is about average at 6.
Get rid of Sheens at the end of the year
The Tigers have to stop accepting mediocrity!!!!!!!!!

Id have Matty Johns as coach in a heartbeat

I wouldn't have him anywhere near my club. We have been thru the bad old Terry Lamb style days.

Nicely said.

John Lang gets my vote. He took the Sharks from cellar dwellers to consistant semi finalists / & a super league grand final, and took the underdog Panthers to a flag. Love to give him a go with the Tigers.

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

Im not sure about John Lang to be honest -

We need Brian Smith to come out here and clean out the sh!t.

Then a decent coach to give us another premiership.

 

[DanOz]

Nothing is certain Triga, but Brian is taken - until a higher bidder comes along anyway...

Long way down the track guys- the starting gate hasnt even been opened. No idea what WT will do with their review at seasons end. Suspect if they can sneak into 8- may just even seek to extend Teflon- he is the ARL coach and it does bring kudos to the club.

If they dont extend him and 2010 is his last at WT, then lets see who puts their hands up. I'd kind of prefer someone new and not a retread but no idea of what options will be out there. Of one thing I'm sure- I hope to god R. Simmons does not get the nod.

 

[Brownie]

if your gonna ask for sheens head then please provide us with who will replace him.
Brian smith is the only one i can think of but his just signed with the roosters so its not an option.
Im not saying that i think sheens is great he has done some good things and some very bad things but i dont see who we could replace him with.

 

[madunit]

Nathan brown

The first decision the board makes is do we seek to retain Sheens or not and make an offer. Sheens might not want to stay on. Second is who else is out there.

There is no way we can here in this forum come up with the options and decisions for the WT board- we are not the head hunters, do not know who is available and for what price. Surely you can only expect us to comment if and when a list of coach options the club is looking at is published. Common be fair...................

Its a forum mate - opinion is what makes the place.
