Speaking of Sheens,I’d be surprised if rumours about Bateman returning to UK are not true.Expect Richo’s recent trip to UK to have been fruitful & we should receive positive news when he believes it’s apt to make the announcements.However imo Klemmer is going to be harder to shift & if there’s any suitors it will cost us massively as his contract a gift from the degenerate Sheens is toxic.

‘The fans must be sick of this’: Anasta’s honest Tigers assessment as coaching overhaul revealed
‘Fans must be sick of this’: Braith’s brutal Tigers blast as coaching overhaul revealedwww.foxsports.com.au
TBF, I am sick of losing, but I would never abandon the club.This is such BS. Typical FoxSports BS.
A former Tiger for a couple of years, regretted signing with the Tigers as soon as he walked in the door. Basically said that they were the least professional club he’d ever played for. Was fairly damning. While no names were named he even caned the approach of some of his team mates to training etc (pre Benji coaching)
Interesting comments.
Agree, but we’ve been doing it for over a decade, with different coaches.A former Tiger for a couple of years, regretted signing with the Tigers as soon as he walked in the door. Basically said that they were the least professional club he’d ever played for. Was fairly damning. While no names were named he even caned the approach of some of his team mates to training etc (pre Benji coaching)
Now I’m no downer for Marshall, Morris or Farah but……. The fact they’ve been in the Tigers system for such a long time, and have probably been a part of those poor standards raises questions. As individuals they probably set their own high standards for themselves, but in positions of leadership you’ve got to drive those standards in everybody, not an easy thing to do. I think the first obvious step is to realise they’re not the players mates. They can’t be afraid of hurting feelings all players must know that they are accountable.
If I were Benji and the club I’d be banning booze, gambling and doing in house drug testing every week for the rest of this season, and driving the boys hard in the gym and on the paddock, not even contemplating winning games, but laying a foundation for next season now and separating the wheat from the chaff. A proper no dickheads policy, any misbehaviour in public absolutely not tolerated. Any stuffing around on the training paddock punished. Train like you should be playing. It shouldn’t be a place for smiles and pal-ing around, save the fun for the dressing room after training.
Sensitive overpaid lemons at the concord sewer have been getting away for yrs without being held accountable for the couldn’t give a fk excrement they dish out week in week out.The only reason I have any hope is Richo won’t tolerate pathetic substandard mediocrity.Richo will impose the output expectations of professional industry as opposed to the bludging public service mentality the players have displayed in the past.BTW I’ve worked for both the public service & chartered accounting firms & tigers players depict the public service as opposed to the storm/rorters/panthers & WB coached teams who are held to account like in professional industry where its perform or perish.A former Tiger for a couple of years, regretted signing with the Tigers as soon as he walked in the door.

I’m so pissed off I’ve knocked back a free premium ticket at the game in Gosford offered to me by close mate who is a souths season ticket holder which includes getting driven from Sydney to the game & sitting with mates I haven’t seen in a while.One day I'll wake up and read nothing but positive stuff about my club. I'm so peeved off about everything.
How hard is it to get some players who run hard and fast, tackle hard, look like athletes and want to play for their club, team mates and fans.
For god sake they get paid for this. We did it for fun.

Geez Ted you should go if not just for your mates sake.I’m so pissed off I’ve knocked back a free premium ticket at the game in Gosford offered to me by close mate who is a souths season ticket holder which includes getting driven from Sydney to the game & sitting with mates I haven’t seen in a while.
Mitchells not playing, they’re gone.South's forum thinks they'll beat us by 60+. They're dreaming.
Milestone games are our forte.

Fox Sports and most other news outlets are only interesting in continually pointing what's wrong and manufacturing some outrage around it. They very rarely care about why there's a problem, unless they can do a character assassination of someone they don't like. They care even less about venturing an opinion about how to fix the problem.TBF, I am sick of losing, but I would never abandon the club.
I firmly believe we will turn it around.
I posted an article on the "Club news", about our senior players have continually let us down?
But if we can keep these young blokes, I see us moving forward.
I don't think we can sack Benji. I think it's clear we've had disaster after disaster and we continually blame the coach and it never fixes anything.
If we lose Papali'i, Klemmer, Bateman and Stef this year is it that bad ? These guys should have been guns for us but they've been poor.
I just think our recruitment never seems to work and until we start getting a decent team on the park we'll never improve and sacking the coach doesn't matter.
Wouldnt mind if Robbie goes, i could be wrong but i feel his ego may create issues at some point , particularly if on field results arent going well.
I dont really get having Robbie there apart from being the onfield trainer and i dont believe any possible problems would be so much to do with his ego as simply his temperament ...he was a helluva competititor
Only we would pair our head coach with two other coaches in Robbie and Heighno who have little to no experience in coaching.
I think it's a terrible trio. Robbie isn't a pin cushion, just ask Anthony Watts.I don't think we can sack Benji. I think it's clear we've had disaster after disaster and we continually blame the coach and it never fixes anything.
