Michael Maguire leaves club

[jirskyr]

“Do we need to make some changes? I suspect we do. We will leave it to the great man to come back to us.

“The board puts a lot of stock in Tim Sheens and his recommendations.”

It would be SO funny if Tigers then went on to sack Tim Sheens again, after all that. The guy we ran out of his contract in 2012, is now "the great man".

I hope he effing knows what he's doing old Tim.

Again - Gus has said a number of times "It's a job for an older experienced coach"
Said it until his lips turn from blue back to a normal colour....

He's not even thinking of a Ciraldo type...

Gus is a liar.

 

[jirskyr]

West Tigers can' hardly get one good player.

Right, we got at least 4 good players in the last 12 months

 

[jirskyr]

It why they sell cars for $19,999.00

- Because $20,000 is too much (Starts with a 2)

Yeah but you could make it 29/79 (Madge's entire record), or 9/30. Why 6?

 

[Newtown]

Is that Madge, or the club as a whole ?
If the coach is an absolute A-hole, but the club is nice . . . nobody wants to play under the A-hole.
If the club is a mess, but the coach is a nice bloke . . . nobody will want to come to a mess of a club. A bit of a shame, coz the coach is a good bloke.
We don't attract quality players coz our club is a rabble, and we lose more than we win.
We lose more than we win coz we have ordinary players.
We have ordinary players coz we can't attract quality players.

And Wests Tigers seem to enjoy cycling again and again around that circle.

 

[jirskyr]

Have we not got two 'big names' coming next year??

When he says "big names" I think he means ones with lots of letters, like Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.

 

[batboy]

Yeah but you could make it 29/79 (Madge's entire record), or 9/30. Why 6?

Same as when they've said we've had 6 coaches in 6 years....
They start the count on Sheens last day - If you start it on his first...

It's 6 Coaches in 16 Years... Doesn't sound anywhere near as bad.

 

[PJ_]

Whatever it is ?/??
It still a shit record.
Punt the munt

 

[batboy]

Right, we got at least 4 good players in the last 12 months

Yeah - When the Dogs sign Naden and we miss out , He's a premiership game star...
When he comes to the Tigers - He's a reserve grader...

It's all in the syllables.

 

[Buttface]

Coz they are trying to skew the stats to make their point of view sound correct.
But I reckon you know that.

 

[Swordy]

Yeah - When the Dogs sign Naden and we miss out , He's a premiership game star...
When he comes to the Tigers - He's a reserve grader...

It's all in the syllables.

..... and don't forget that EVERY players that comes onto market and signs elsewhere is "Wests Tigers miss another player off contract"

 

[Newtown]

Gidart not included

 

[twentyforty]

It puts emphasis on our ladder position?

 

[TrueTiger]

Gidart not included

If you look at his career although in ESL mainly,he was in a premiership winning team,rep player and was touted as a very good centre...now you cant blame Madge for him failing at NRL level,some have it and some dont,I still wouldnt give up on him yet,he needs more time in ressies to get to understand OUR game....

 

[Telltails]

If we signed Api K and Papallii this week the whole level of excitement would be different. Those two signings alone at any club would be viewed as great acquisitions. Not many teams can sign more than two quality players a season.

 

[twentyforty]

Buzz reckons the board is split on Madge's future. He's "getting mail" Madge's days are numbered, maybe his hours are numbered. Like the skipper on the SS Enterprise, he cannot possibly take any more pressure, then we see Madge as calm as you like.

 

[Spartan117]

Punt the guy making the club money. Makes sense

Where not doing that well,

Rumours are that we are the sell our sponsorships the cheapest rates. Lets players go out of the Kindness of his heart.

personality of a plain jellybean.

The Board need to do what the Board do best....
Dress their missus's up for chairmans lounge on game day, and get as many free sandwiches into them as they can!!

Let the coach do his job.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

That's wrong
- Api get's it to forwards and halves, Most of them are still here
- Paps is back row, Spine still here - Stronger with the injection of Api....

Whilst losing a few players in the same position, only one of them is first choice
- Even then, He's not in the best 12 Back rowers in the comp atm... If the top 20.

No it isn't.

Read what I said, especially when you bold it..... "have less support around"

If the forwards don't get forward Api will be totally ineffective.
If Papa has no one else around him he either won't get the ball or will be covered with 3 players like what happens to Lucy and become minimal effect.

People can say what they like about are current squad but our NSW Cup players are alot worse and Papa and Api will not change our ways without support.

- 2 of our 5 prop rotation are gone - zero inbound
- 3 of our backrow rotation are gone + 1 on a perm hospital bed - 1 inbound
- 5 forwards with 1 inbound.

Squad & usage wise alone we are 4 NRL forwards short starting and rotations.

Papa and Api are great players to have but unless we put some players around them the effectiveness will not be even close to what we see today

We're middle of the road in sponsorship price...
(Well - we were a couple years back)

We've never got top dollar, But we're certainly not the Sharks.
