maybe good news

[Kid]

My info indicated to me the problems in camp are stemming from players not listening to the instructions they have been given. Players were told how to finish off the Knights when we were 24-12 up, only to ignore the instructions. I was told the dressing down the players received after the game left the Telstra walls without paint. Also 5 players were told they would never play under the coach again, 2 of those are now gone.

And who were the others
Does Jeffrey count ?

Thats pretty big news. Can't say they didn't deserve it though.

We can pray morris is one

Maybe Sheens should've given himself a spray for playing 16 men only to lose the game with fatigued players in the last 8 minutes.

 

[themanonthehill]

He was more concerned about the sea spray he got on the Mustang yacht the day before the game the f**king prick

No he doesn't. 2 of the others are very very much part of WT. One has been often said to be going to England, the other well......lets just say his career is at the crossroads anyway. Will be interesting to see what happens.

If true, it isnt the first time- recalling the incident when penalty goals were not taken, to secure the game. It doesnt come as a major surprise really. Ever since the "captain" debacle of early 2006, the team has been effectively leaderless. This may be creating big problems with Marshall, having way too much responsibility placed upon him. Whatever the case, leadership is lacking.

What a load of sh!t. Fitzhenry didn't even play in round 25!!

 

[rupertpupkin]

It does sound like a bit of a tale.

Well if some would look at where the problems were when WT lost that game that would mean Marshall, Morris, Farah, Lawrence ALL failed to contain that final surge by Newcastle with incorrect choices they made. So they would be in those 5 to never play for Sheens again.
But not that difficult to make that claim of 5 to never play for Sheens again, Jeffery-> Titans, Whatuira-> Huddersfield, Benny G-> Hull KR, Fitzy-> Hull KR, and who knows who the 5th is. And only of the 4 mentioned here one could only pass blame to Whatuira for not following the coach's instructions. Jeffery didn't play, Benny G isn't a playmaker and did his job in defence, and Fitzy didn't play due to injury. Whatuira leaked in defence in the final stages where our flanks got hammered.

It may well be a load of sh*t. I'm not on here trying to claim exclusives or anything like that. I'm merely repeating what was told to me by somone who has an official role with the Tigers. Take out of it what you will.

Assuming that there is something to the report- and it sounds likely that Sheens ripped into them - It may be that what was said was more along the lines of "I ought to drop (insert name/s here) for good." The retelling of the event, afterwards, becomes- "I WILL drop (insert name/s here) for good." A common shift towards the more dramatic in 2nd hand reports of a voyeuristic nature. Again, if true at all.

One person who looks like they have been told this is Ryan O'hara - can you honestly see him playing any firstgrade next year. I bet they are still trying to offload him to the superleague clubs who are being promoted.
