Wests Tigers Coaches

Are we any closer to an announcement? It feels like the club is rudderless and need some clear direction. The way we are going Douhei, Hastings and Brooks (no big loss) will leave and who could blame them. They really didn't plan this out well

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has declared Wests Tigers need an experienced coach who “won’t succumb to outside pressures” and can “handle the politics from above”.

That is why Stuart has ignored club rivalry to urge Wests Tigers management to appoint Tim Sheens as head coach for the next two seasons.

And Stuart’s support of Sheens was immediately shared by Raiders legends, Laurie Daley and Mal Meninga.

The push for Sheens, 71, to take over at Concord from next year is gathering momentum.

Well-placed sources claim the club hasn’t formally asked Sheens to take over – but won’t rule out the possibility either. Stuart, Daley and Meninga won premierships at Canberra in 1989, 1990 and 1994 under Sheens as head coach.

Sheens has support to be named head coach while mentoring a development coach to take over, possibly in 2025.

“I think the environment at Wests Tigers is for a coach that is experienced, can handle the politics from above and has the ability not to listen to any outside noise. And that’s Tim,” Stuart said.

“It’s not a job for a young or inexperienced coach. Tim’s not using it as leverage. You would think it would be his last-ever coaching gig and he won’t succumb to outside pressures.

“The thoroughness of Tim Sheens’ preparation and the passion he has for a club, not just the NRL team but the whole club, the juniors, pathways, is what Wests Tigers need.

“They don’t need a coach in there who will just hinge on the result of the NRL team. They need a coach who is going to build that club for the future.

“Unfortunately, they have got themselves in a position where they need that.”

Daley added: “Tim is one of the greatest coaches of all time. No one knows football better than him when it comes to knowledge.

“He could do it for two or three years while mentoring a young coach. Tim could wear the bruises over that time compared to a young coach. Why wouldn’t you get him to coach when he is there already?

“You ask all the Raiders players about their careers and they will tell you what an impact Tim had on everyone. We wouldn’t have been the players we were or had the success we had without him.”

Wests Tigers missed out on No.1 target Cameron Ciraldo and continue to discuss a range of potential coaches including Brett Kimmorley, Andrew Webster, Shane Flanagan, Stephen Kearney, Dean Young, John Morris, Jason Ryles, Josh Hannay, Kristian Woolf, David Furner and Steve Price.

The current Wests Tigers head of football, Sheens is widely regarded as one of the finest coaches of the modern era, winning three grand finals at Canberra, one more at Wests Tigers while also coaching NSW and Australia.

“Tim would do a great job. I don’t think there’s any reason why Tim can’t (coach Wests Tigers),” Meninga said.

“Maybe under a model where he coaches for a few years and brings along a younger coach at the same time who then takes over. Tim could take control for a few years and then bring on the next coach.

“Tim taught me a fair bit about footy, which was good. And then he gave me the captaincy (at Canberra), which improved my game. He taught me how to be a leader. He put his faith in me.”

Seems to me that logic is driving us to this conclusion.
I do feel however that the task, at his age, may be too great …. but I suppose …. you never know.

If the club is even considering Nobby or Webster , this club is doomed , it will never survive, I won’t have either coaching my local a- grade side

If you have to choose between Sheens or Noddy who would you go for.

At this point I honestly don't care. I don't think it was the coach that was the problem.

I'd go Morris first. If it comes down to Sheens or Noddy I think Noddy is a better option but he will be learning on the job.

Don’t think he’s happy. But if Madge was still coaching it would’ve been a battle between Tigers and Titans. Now I think its just ours unless a miracle happens.
