Footy mate reports:

Connor plays, lock, hooker, halves, undersized emergency 2nd row, centres at a pinch. Prototype 14.

Friendly, humble from central coast.
I wanted him ages ago and as usual we get mentioned because the managers use us as click bait to get the best deal.
He's still not 100% fit so it's a risk.
We should start a thread to see if someone can name the halves that start by magic round.

I should have said by the time magic round comes around we may have trialed a dozen combinations.

We could finish the season of the second coming with more halves combinations than rounds!

Tim maintaining the belief that we should play our best side in every round as we stumble to the spoon is a bit stupid when we can’t win anyway.

Plus it’s humiliating that he’s putting up his best side every week and we get 3 wins.

It illustrates multiple failures across many areas. Rosters, game plans, communications, interchange, preparation, recovery…etc etc etc!

He should save some face by throwing in a few kids and prospects now. Start the rebuild as early as possible. Send the sulking Brooks packing.

Plus he gets at least one excuse for the spoon for free, in that he needed to build for 2024.

After a historically garbage season, Tim has throw a Hail Mary pass and hope someone is there to catch it.

Think outside the box.

No one takes him seriously anymore. Whatever he says, do the opposite and you’ll be far better off.

I’m trying to help him with this advice. If he sticks to business as usual …he’s done for.

I’m not saying he’s not trying, I don’t even dislike him, but his kpi is lower than the axis in WW2.

Tim hasn’t smiled in over a decade has he?

He needs to loosen up.

Head up to Oxford Street and enjoy himself with wokeys, lgbt, trans species, ladies of the night and party on. Try chroming with a fire extinguisher!

Suck that helium in and speak like a duck or chipmunk for awhile. Wear some Mickey Mouse ears, skateboard at St Marys Cathedral in a pink tutu singing the Armenian national anthem in Chinese.

Come back with a head full of nonsense, a crazed and deranged happy goblin head and hopefully formulate a winning game plan.

When he’s sober he’s a loser, to win he has to experiment in the untoward and/or weird.

It’s not easy trying to help him through this.

I need our endearing forum favourite @Tigerm to come through.

Let’s say hes Tim’s manager, how would he save Tim? I wonder.

TSP, Tim and his coaching staff most likely have been doing all the antics that you recommended.... that's the problem.
For a bloke who has the personality of a drowned water rat he had to do something.
I think he'll revert back to the coach who is normally seen in the coaches box, in a trance with dribble oozing from the corner of his lips.
Oh deer, we're getting a little harsh here.
Enjoy reading your later coaching stats Tim.

“I wonder how many times you've been had
And I wonder how many plans have gone bad
I wonder how many times you had sex
I wonder do you know who'll be next
I wonder I wonder, wonder I do”

Opening verse from the song “I Wonder” by Rodriguez
Great song and if you haven’t heard of him, a great story behind him.

He’s the sugar man of music. Superb.

Amazing

Sounds like Rodriguez couldn't stay in a relationship going by that verse or was he referring in general to people in society?

Tim doesn't need saving, our team does.
Tim has topped up his retirement funds and is laughing all the way to the bank. It's probably why he shafted our last coach because he got a substantial increase with his coaching gig.

Yeah, that’s the actual assumption I’m making at the start lol.

He was from the 70’s, so it was probably about free love and drugs:)

What Tim has to do is successfully deflect blame onto others, but he’s limited because he can’t devolve the blame to his hand picked coaching side and incumbents.

He can blame injuries, but other clubs have injuries.

He can blame players, but that means they should never have been actually signed and @Vic Mackey reminds us, long contracts too for underperforming ones.

And blaming players, we have too many that are struggling. Plus he’s the one who has determined they should play.

So it’s going to be instructive how he explains he catastrophe of this season.

It’s not going to wash, but we should hear him out.

He’s not too good at these things, he needs some help creating plausible excuses.

He’s already said it is a 2 to 3 year plan, he’ll be long gone by then

That’s a given.

How he can actually cling on is a more enigmatic, interesting and somewhat more entertaining question for me.

Even player managers are raising difficulties with our coaching ranks these days. If that’s the word on the recruitment street and it’s true, it’s quite problematic.

Tim blaming the players doesn’t really assist recruitment. They are a precious lot.

Plus he hand picked them to start off with.

Where’s his escape?

Lee and the board can hardly stand up for him and be taken seriously.
