Sheens Contract ????

If it were four or so players who had gone noticeably backwards this season you could make a good case for a roster shake up as a sollution.

However when you have as many players go backwards as Wests Tigers have this season this points squarely at the coach

Perhaps your only chance is a push for Tim to be full time AUS coach.......like QLD, NSW.

Paid well, in contact at a distance with schoolboys through to, kangaroo captain.

Might actually be a suitable role......

The Sunday Telegraph has been told Sheens has a clause in his contract stating if the Tigers fail to make the finals the veteran coach can be shown the door.

The catch is Sheens has to be paid out up to half of his contract - a situation the joint venture club cannot afford to get itself into.

But the problem is the club cannot afford to sack Sheens and then recruit a new head honcho in a move that would cost up to $1 million.

Hang on a second here...

Say Shines is paid $500K per year which they can pay 50% of, if they turf him for not making the 8...

That means they pay him out $500K...

They then get another coach and pay him $500k for 2013 ( maximum...)

They still pay $500K for Sheens to coach them next year regardless...

So instead of paying $500K next year, they pay $1 million....

I'm hating Sheens more now than ever.

He blames farah for missing a field goal but says nothing about benji handing the storm two tries last night?
Also considering that Robbie had a broken hand at that stage of extra time.

Being a disappointed supporter, it is good reading the comments from our CEO the coach is not under review. Strong leadership is what is required now and stability.
You mean the sort of stability you get when players are constantly shifted around the park, Mrs Sheens?
Muppet.

As though you know more than an NRL coach. You and the other parrots on this forum simply repeat the mantra given you by some agenda driven fair weather supporter.

R2Coupe, do you believe Sheens has made any poor decisions this season?

I believe he extended loyalty in terms of retaining players in the top grade and the loyalty was not returned by certain players. Far be it for me to tell Sheens what to do but perhaps it is an area he needs to look at.

I thought he may have given a some players a bit more time to prove themselves in the NRL. That he didn't again is a call only a coach can make.

The loss of Gibbs has also been felt and I have a high regard for him.

Sheens said to judge him at the end of the year...

So has be been a success or failure this season - one or the other please.

If you are a troll, then I'm going to break the rules and feed you.
I'm guessing that you have never played the game beyond St Christopher's primary u/7 4's in 1975. Your comments show a lack of understanding, but that's OK.
You have this fixation that Sheens is our great hope. He did good things for us in the past, but he is not getting the players to reach their potential. You said as much yourself.
He and his methods are tired. Run at the markers. Run the blind side play from the scrum. Halfback injured ? . . change 5 blokes out of position to fix it.
His idea of giving new talent a go is virtually non-existent. You will probably say " what about Koribete ? . . . Shhens gave him his opportunity". We on this forum . . . and especially macnaz . . . have been baying for Koribete to be given a go for months and months. Don't tell me he wasn't ready 4 months ago.
Did you notice the impact that he, as a fast, hard running winger made to our team ?. He is not the only one we have. We have even faster, taller, bigger prospects in the lower grades, but Moltzen has to be fullback, the favourites have to be played, and that screws the chance for any talent to be given a chance.

You also say that some of the coaches we are discussing are "yesterday's men". Mate, you might want to preserve any strand of dignity you have left and delete those comments from the internet.
Sheens, with his refusal to change a thing is the definition of yesterday's man.

How dare you criticise the coach, you fair weather fan.
