Wests Tigers Coaches

Laughing all.the way to the bank.

I got a better crop of players, got rid of Phill Gould, work with my son and a 5 year extension for.the both of us....

As if I was ever gonna bring Nathan to the tigers.
 
I wonder whom has forwarded a resume yet to Sheensy. Seibold, Green, Garth Brennan, Toovey,Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck maybe.

Salute genius post!

And when there’s coaching dramas at clubs, we get 9 months of bad media and they get 9 minutes.

But of the list above, there’s at least 9 clubs who are boring and uninspiring. Whose presence does nothing but protect young men from the evils of AFL

Interestingly I've seen clubs hire "ambassadors" in the media to defend their club.

For example Gordon talis spins Bull dust on all his media gigs that Titans are not a basket case.

Actually talked for 20 minutes on tripple m spinning crap Titans are not a mess. Saying stuff like they are a development club but doesn't mention all the money blown on fafita.

No mention there on the second coach in as many years they gave the current coach a long term deal and already talk about removing him.

Reality is Titans don't have an identity either and are a mess but hiring people to spin stuff to the media seems to work.

Also some more perspective in the "zomg all the coaches, we're a basket case" garbage.

Since our inception.

Bunnies 10 coaches
Broncos 5 coaches
Eels 7 coaches
Dogs 8 coaches
Dragons 8 coaches
Sharks 8 coaches
Manly 4 coaches
Panthers 7 coaches
Roosters 6 coaches
Warriors 11 coaches
Raiders 6 coaches
Knights 9 coaches
Cowboys 9 coaches
Storm 3 coaches
Titans 7 coaches
And sticking with the interims, we've had 9.
We aren't worse than a few other clubs and plenty of others have had similar numbers or close to it.

Nice to know we're up near the leaders in a stat. We're equal 2nd! 👍

Toovey has been out of coaching for like 5 years. He's not an option.

He’s so…not overrated, but I just don’t get the hype. If he was that good of a coach, I doubt he’d have been without a gig for so long since leaving Manly. I guess not have coached for so long he’s built up a mystique. But I don’t think he’s much better than anyone else available.

Ludicrous counting interim coaches. They don't count.

Junior was only interested in coaching for the inaugural year.

Cleary did the dirty on us.

So, 4 coaches given the boot in 22 years. There's plenty of other clubs that have gone through coaches too.

Potter had a 2 year deal and saw out his contract, we have only sacked 3 coaches in 23 seasons, the media beat up is very misleading

Does it though? I don't know one person who doedn't think the Titans are a massive joke.

Not to ruin the post, but Wests Tigers were founded in 1999, with the actual season in 2000, we’re already upto 9 coaches.

While the others on that list as bad as us is Titans founded in 2007, for the rabbits, 10 coaches since 1908 shows what we probably need to achieve.

I think people are also somewhat going off on a tangent on this development thing and the timeframes mentioned by Sheens. He mentioned 3 years as the point in which he expects us to get a strong benefit from our youth focus - ie kids are 17018 now but will be 20-21 in a few years, by which point they should be first graders.

And while we are targeting a development coach that doesn't mean we can't also sign top level players to help get short term results while the juniors are developing. They're not mutually exclusive, Penrith signed the likes of Tamou, Korisau, Kikau, TPJ, Tetevano etc to help supplement their existing talent

Hmm. What comes first the chicken or the egg.
In a perfect world or in a more perfectly viewed club you would get plenty of solid first graders willing to join and help the younger brigade come of age.
However, and this aside from the development comments. It’s going to be a real task to recruit players in form or from solid teams on 2-3 year contracts when the chances of the Wests Tigers making the finals in the next 2-3 years is going to be a real task.
Essentially we’ll have to be recruiting these player’s on above market salaries hoping that they are happy with a couple of lean years whilst risking the chance of their rep standings decreasing.

Basically, the example you gave re Penrith was on the basis that although inconsistent the core group were solid and the wider squad had more than enough potential to succeed given that the panthers have missed the finals just twice since the start of the 2014 season.
 
Out of the 3 clubs that are looking for a new coach, i think that we are the best of the bunch.

Whilst i feel for Madge at the end of the day i think that he was the catslyst for his own demise by his choice of assistants and his game and bench management.

We lost a few close games that we should have one in particular if he had better in game management. So we could be close to if not in the top 8 atm.

Given that and the recruits that we have coming next year and our next golden generation coming through we should have coaches knocking down our door.

BTW i am really excited about getting Api , i think he improved the panthers attack when he got there and he should do that for us well.

Great comment and I think it nails how we build the club.

We tried this too with the big three. Teddy, Moses and Brooks. We really really tried to keep that playing group together and kept Nofo in that group. Skipping a lot of history I hope we have learned a lesson and that lesson being to get players who have signed with Managers who aren't insane! (what club would have hired all 4 under the cap. ok someone saw $$$ when Woods wanted to jump onboard so that he wasn't excluded from the club).

Looking forward, we see how Penrith identified their weaknesses:
Hooker - Api Koroisau
Forwards - Zeb taia and Tamou. Later punted for Locals.

Earlier maybe James Maloney was brought in to guide the halves. Yet I thought that was closer to the Soward era... Everyone clears out for the backs which they have growing like trees.

I would like us to do the same. Identify gaps "lock" where we don't have the players coming up. Keep options open to hire and bring in the Juniors. Everyone who says "Depth" makes me want to puke. Depth means juniors wait 2-3 people behind to get to first grade. Depth also means less money for prime first graders.
