Wests Tigers Coaches

Lee has made another good decision to put cc on a deadline.

That and no Lucy on credit.

Shock horror two good decisions in a row.

Points will gather again for our Wests Tigers.
We are nobody’s bitches.

We are a great opportunity for any coach.

When times are really tough like now, sometimes it’s appropriate to take the path of most resistance, walk into the raging hurricane and pray!

..Or buy one of those a Storm beanies….You’d rather have a butt tattooed to your forehead.

I’m not a club stooge, but I’m not going to have our club on its knees for used Panther.

Tim Sheens’ Tigers will likely give Ciraldo until the end of the week to make a decision as teams enjoy a week off for representative round

The full Foxtel report was;

"The Tigers will reportedly give Panthers assistant Cameron Ciraldo to the end of the week to make a decision regarding his future.

According to the SMH’s Michael Chammas, Tigers powerbrokers have gone all in on the wanted man having not approached any other candidates for the role as they wait for a response.

Ciraldo was given a seven-hour tour of Leichhardt and held meetings with the merger club’s powerbrokers last Monday."

There is so much hanging on the fact that the club has not yet approached any other candidate for the Coaching job. We all know that the club will not sign any new players until the new coach is known. What happens if Ciraldo's answer to Wests Tigers is a negative. The selection for a new coach will be set back weeks again and the player market is likely to be significantly reduced by that time. Talk about taking risks.

This is the chammas write-up.

The Wests Tigers believe Cameron Ciraldo has all the qualities required to lead the club out of the doldrums - and they’ve shown him just how highly they think of him by not approaching any other candidates for the coach’s job as they await his response.

Those close to Ciraldo say he’s in no rush to make a decision. He wants to make sure it’s the right one and won’t be pressured by time constraints.

The Tigers understand it’s a big decision for the rookie coach, but they can’t afford to be left waiting for a man who may never arrive.

The Tigers are willing to give him that time to decide, but they also know at some point they need to open negotiations with other prospective coaches in case Ciraldo opts to stay at Penrith or link with the Bulldogs.

That point is likely to be after this weekend with all teams enjoying the week off for representative round. The Tigers hope Ciraldo will give them an answer by the end of the week.

Since they rolled out the red carpet for the Panthers assistant in a marathon seven-hour meeting at Concord last Monday, Ciraldo has been inundated with work given Ivan Cleary’s current health predicament.

Ciraldo led the Panthers to victory over the Warriors in Redcliffe on Saturday - the third time this year he has filled in and managed a win.

But representative round has come at the perfect time for all concerned. Ciraldo will have time to sit down and work out what his next career move will be. The Tigers have decisions of their own to make.

Sheens keeps coining us as a "development club"
It's a cop out for being unable to recruit anybody. Just some Rugby converts.
Where has development really got us? We lose them as soon as they show anything and we persist with duds because we went all in on the hype of the "next Joey John's"
Start developing juniors again and we just become a feeder club.

Any of our good juniors who watch the NRL side will be talking to their managers about an exit strategy

Pretty standard for Chammas, actually pretty standard for all.......I was going to call them journalists but that would be disrespectful to any decent ones out there. Lets call them....social media and forum trolls.
 
let's be clear: no deadline has been set. it's poor reporting from Fox Sports 'staff writers' who are the bottom feeders of Australian sports journalism that are employed to pen clickbait. if you were WT, of course you'd want a definitive answer by EOW given the whole comp shuts down for a week. before we bash the club let's be mindful of that.

"inundated with work" he says.
Now that deserves a laugh.

With the amount of talent that they have These guys could enjoy a bbq instead of training for the week and still win the comp.

Nothing about a deadline there.
 
The club needs to get the new head coach appointed as soon as possible. If they want Ciraldo and he can't make up his mind or has other plans, just move on to someone else. I believe Noddy is doing his best, but he and everyone else knows he will not be our head coach next year and is unlikely to have much say in the makeup of our roster going forward.

I get what you’re saying …. over and over again. But hey…… very boring.

However you should be weary of what you wish for.

First grade success will come but it’s not everything …. things could be worse ….. like coming last ….l WITHOUT having sound financial base, great new facilities, large membership, ever increasing sponsorship and good cap space management.

People aimlessly defending Admin who can't conjure a successful football side in 7 years, is worse than boring.
