Yes, if you read one of my posts (I think it is thread No 45 about sacking Sheens) I support Jones replacing Sheens at the end of 2011. Jones is the NYC coach for a reason. Logically, you would believe Sheens had input into his appointment considering they would work closely in their roles?
Sheens never had the full cap to spend on players until 2010, yet we assembled a competitive squad and won the competition. Further, Sheens recognised the strength and future of the club was through its juniors. Weststigers could not compete financially with the wealthier clubs to buy names. However, this would mean little if we produced juniors simply to be poached by other clubs. Therefore, part of the salary cap (already less than the cap) was allocated to retaining our best juniors for the future. Aaron Woods has been retained due to Sheens' planning. In addition, we still managed to purchase Ellis and Tuquiri.
Warren McDonnell is doing a fine job as recruitment officer. Lui, Billy Kitt and Joel Jackson are among some of his recruits. All have potential. I also read the Tigers have signed a young lock from Logan Souths Club who is considered one of QLDs brightests prospects. You may have also read about a young player from Waikato named Tyson Te Koi (16yrs old, 191cm, 105kg) who is now at Keebra. Apparently a second row forward with huge potential and part of the Keebra and Weststigers program. Why do you think the Broncos, Titans and Roosters are sniffing around Keebra Park? Because Sheens' development blueprint works so well.
If a change of coach is to occur, let it happen at the end of 2011 with the coach coming from within Weststigers. Why? Because the coach is familiar with the Club, playing style, players, development program, recruitment systems and budget. Promotion from within with both players and coaching staff is efficient and sustainable
