Tim Sheens relieved of coaching duties

[Munky]

I wonder if this contract has any KPIs?

IIRC he had a hissy fit when they tried to put them in a contract a decade or so ago.

Welcome back Tom Shines.

Where's MOTH at?

 

[Perth Red]

haha, Tim managed to coach us to 3rd from bottom in 2018 and second from bottom in 2019 before being sacked. Good luck Tigers!

Bennett comes back and takes the Broncos to a GF
Cleary comes back and wins Penrith a comp

I’m confident Sheens can come back and take us back to 9th

 

[Munky]

Sheens out of the four clubs he coached in Australia only has a winning percentage over 50% at Canberra and barely over 50% overall.

Pretty amazing for a bloke with four premierships.

125 year old Tim Sheens as coach with Benji and Robbie as assistants when they've got a spare hour or 2 a month to drop by. Will Robbie just end up hogging the ball at training anyway

to be fair I'm pretty sure even Trent Barrett could've won a few premierships with that Canberra side of the 90s

yep from memory the new CEO tried to make Sheens accountable for the 1st time in his career and Sheens was having none of it and managed to get the CEO sacked.

wouldn't look out of place as deputy premier just saying

Lol what a mess of a club.

 

[macavity]

This is insane.

Not such a crazy move. No one wants to touch the Tigers with a ten foot pole. He is probably the best option who would actually consider the job.

Its just a two year deal. In that time they can hopefully get some fundamental stuff sorted and put themselves in a position to find a new coach.

how is a guy who hasn't coached in the NRL for a decade and then failed in the UK even an option let alone the best option? I know the tigers aren't an attractive destination but the optics of this sort of move doesn't make it any more enticing for anyone potentially wanting to go there

 

[Vic Mackey]

As unattractive as the Tigers are there are only 16 Head Coaching positions in the NRL with about 2-4 coming up each year. They would find someone and probably a decent one too. However instead of that they've decided to go for the guy they sacked a decade ago whos made 3 finals in his last 18 seasons of coaching. Amazing decision making even by their standards.

 

[Bazal]

So bring back a geriatric who's most recent experience is failing in second tier UK footy, which is practically bush leagues, who you already sacked ince because he wasn't up to it a decade or go or whenever it was...

That'll change Ice's mind about backflipping...lol.

Its not a club for an inexperienced coach. And the vast majority of experienced coaches available won't touch it.

True it doesn't look like an inspired move. But putting in Kimmorely who will most likely fail doesn't work either.

Surely Green, Flannigan or Seibold have experience and would be better long term options than the old fella?
