Wests Tigers Coaches

It's pretty well known in coaching circles that Ciraldo was put off by how Lee spoke to Rob Bechara via text message. Thought it was incredibly unprofessional and gave him second thoughts about signing here (word is he had a verbal agreement, just nutting out the details). Lee once again puts his foot in his mouth.
Really? Sounds like a cop out to me.
 
Media is gonna have a field day with us
Media suck big ones! This is more on then us, seriously ho
It doesn’t matter who the next coach is because we can’t get any worse. We are getting the spoon this year and that’s on Madge, not Kimmorley.

It beggars belief that people think Madge was going to turn this joint around. The best he did was finish 9th - with Ivan’s team!

Two and a half years later, with more and more his picked squad, we have since finished 11th, 13th and this year bottom.

Morris, Woolfe, Flanagan, Kimmorley or Charlie Brown cannot do any worse.
Woohoo we're finally seeing the Wests Tigers play off the cuff...pity it's from our management though.

Don't care whether the next coach is second choice - we've previously went for Bellamy and Bennett first. Or a replacement wasn't secured - Ivan came in pretty quickly for Taylor.
I'd hope it's not done in haste (to land the right coach) but not too long where player retention and recruitment is impacted.

However, I wish they'd do their business similarly to the Papalii and Korisau recruitments. Don't tell everyone our plans. Be ruthless and just get the job done in the background.
Love signing announcements yet rejections being publicly declared feels like a kick in the guts.
Look I agree in parts, it would be better to be a bit more careful with vocalising everything. But I believe they were trying to show CC their
Morris is assistant coach at Souths and hopefully coach at WTs. WTs appear to have steered clear of Flanagan but if reports on this forum are true, met with Morris last week.

Sorry Morris is a train wreck waiting to happen, especially with us!!
To me it’s now Payten number 1, then Flanagan (he is exactly what this club needs).
Love the sheens bu
 
I have nothing against Flanagan at all but would prefer Morris, he played over 70 games for the club, did great work with Cronulla's juniors who Fitzgibbon is now reaping the rewards of, excluding Nico Hynes of course.
Yeh I'm opposite lol still can't get the memories of Jonny Cronk in our jersey killing over laps lol still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
 
With things going so badly, and a spoon beckoning, its a good time to make a new script. We are not driving out of this hole in a BMW, mouthing corporate babble and arriving at where we left off in 2011.

Pick a coach that's been kicked in the guts and is hungry for redemption. Morris, Flanagan, Siebold. They all fit.

Ciraldo was a golden boy. That is so not us. Frankly I'm relieved that the five year fantasy has been flicked. By him. Even better!! That kind of humiliation could come in handy down the track.

And we want players that are hungry, motivated, and identify with where the coach is at.

The only way out of the hole is to claw and fight. But also to take our losses along the way without turning the team into a miserable bunch, looking for exits. That choice starts with the coach.

I reckon Morris fits the bill.
Great post.
 
Many years ago I was in between jobs and was doing concreting with a lower grade player at another club. at the time I didn’t know that the concreting business used to do a little bit extra on the side. Didn’t matter where in Sydney we were working, several first graders would turn up to site on a Friday and collect there goods. I won’t name them but 3 of them are either working in the media or coaching today at a high level. It’s been going on for years and still does today, it took a Cronulla staffer to dob in xerri, think about how many people who turned a blind eye over the years since he was 14 he was on the gear. Every official at nsw rl since he was 14. What does that tell you. Why are we still worried about Flanagan having anything to do with coaching young players. When he was at Cronulla, the 3 guys behind the scenes that helped him get them to be successful were, the Brailey boys old man, Dave howlett( endeavour sports high) pathways coach and grant jones, veteran recruitment manager.
 
He definitely won’t be able to turn this ship around.

I can't wait until you get it wrong. The problem is you'll probably be happy as well.

I like Morris coming in. My initial preference was Flanagan but I'm starting to think someone younger like Morris is a good idea.
