Taylor has lost his job

[perverse]

The 04-05 Dragons were horrendously complacent and rather lazy. They knew full well they could blow any side off the park when they wound up, but it frequently took half a game to get going. The 2004 semi when they gave away a 24 point start in even time to a depleted side before losing by a field goal and being eliminated from 5th should have taught them some hard lessons, but they were at it again in '05.

Yeah, as I said he was too close to the playing group. A coach can't be mates with everyone, unfortunately. Doesn't work when people need a good kick up the arsehole, or to be dropped even. Rick Stone had similar issues at Newcastle.

He so ran out of ideas to motivate them that he ended up slapping one on live TV.

From memory didn't Murray lead the cowboys to their first ever finals 18 months later, first grand final a year later and completely change the fortunes of what was a struggling club?

Graham Murray now would still be a better coach than Taylor.

Players would be dying to work with him.

Well done Wests Tigers, you just equalled the pathetic 2002 NQ Cowboys record of sacking a head coach after 3 rounds of the regular season..............

Trivia, Murray Hurst coached his last NQ game against the Mark Murray coached Storm side only to be replaced by Graham Murray..........

No doubt the NQ side contained a number of Murri players also.

The "Big 4" (what a f**king laugh) have obviously learned from a persistent culture led by Benji and Wobbie at Wests that the players run the club and the coach is just an ornament. Someone to deflect the fans' blame when they're too piss weak to have a dig more than once a month.

And the board is more than happy to enable this culture.

Any coach who signs up for the Tigers poisoned chalice is asking for career suicide, they've now seen off 3 that will likely never get another top grade gig again.

Toovey's gone to Bradford starting on -12 with almost certain relegation on the cards and his gig will be a piece of piss compared to dealing with these f**kwits.

I read Des Hasler has been speculated in an article. Tigers would be looking for a full time coach early in the season not conducting their search in the off-season. I really doubt Hasler could secure a release from the Bulldogs to coach the Tigers this year.

Tigers won't get Hasler, he would cost too much. If they did decide they wanted him though I believe the dogs would let him go.

I can see some caretaker coach taking over, they wont find a decent one on such short notice surely.

 

[big hit!]

love how tigpies fans on social media are trotting out all the memes about how Taylor is a shit coach. 3 of them down (including a 4-time premiership winning cowch), and these deluded f**kwits still think that yet another coach will sort it out.

There is a players culture that they run the show. It began with marshall and Farah, and the next gen are continuing the tradition. Tigpies will need to turn over some more personnel before they make any sustainable improvement.

have to be pretty desperate to take up the Tigers gig. Would personally hold out for a better opportunity if I'm a bloke like Cleary.

 

[Pete Cash]

I have sympathy for tigers fans but the club is a mess

They need to bring in a hard arse to coach and the board needs to back him over the players. Then they desperately need some starch in the forwards. Starting with the backrow if they are going to insist on keeping both brooks and moses.

The big 4? Moses has had about a dozen quality First Grade games, is a very good attacking player but a terrible defender . Woods has great stats but not a lot of impact and Brooks is plain shit.
Tedesco is the only one worth feeding and he's massively injury prone.

 

[El Diablo]

bring back Alan Jones

 

[Eion]

What a shambles. I'm no JT fan, but what the hell do you know about a footy clubs season after 3 rounds? They've basically admitted they should have sacked him at the end of last year but didn't have the stones to do it.

 

[Frailty]

Oh dear, I just saw some footage from the presser. They are in trouble. CEO says he didn't want to see another season drift away so they needed to act now. But then proceeds that they won't be pressured into a timeline to appoint a new coach..

.... So you don't want to piss the season away but are happy to wait until halfway through the season before settling on a coach?

Club is rubbish from the ground up.

 

[Parramatta1947]

I would hope a coach like Cleary would be smart enough to not apply.....

 

[some11]

CEO says he didn't want to see another season drift away so they needed to act now.

They were happy enough to give him the pre-season which, y'know, lays the platform for the whole season..

The Raiders should have sacked Stuart after last week going by these clowns.

JTugly won't be the last coach undone by the brilliance of Ricky Stuart.

Ben Elias firing up on NRL360, passionate man should be made CEO!

Crikey, no f**king room for that kind of reasoning in this thread ol' mate
