Wests Tigers Coaches

[earl]

I agree with tigermaniac; you don't accidentally win a competition. Anything Stryker wrote after that is frankly irrelevant.

Sheens was a great tactical coach at times. He also picked up and bought through some elite talent. Robbie, Benji, Prince, Hodgson and Ellis were elite players. Lawrence was pretty good as well.

He has as many clangers though to go with the good decisions.

All coaches win competitions on the back of good rosters - Sheens and Maguire and the rest. Blind faith in one over the other counts for little if neither have a roster capable of winning

This is what gets me about sacking Madge...he took on a job that was left vacant after Cleary jumped ship,he knew the cap was in trouble,he had players left that wanted to play under Cleary and wanted the culture change and pathways restored...Ok he had 3.5 years here,but to be honest he really only had about 1.5 years to get what he wanted..He did resign a lot and also got Api and Pap for next year as well as gave some youngsters a taste of NRL..
Overall he didnt get results and was sacked...In reality the club should have given him until the end of his contract to see what he could have made with the new players and some youth in the mix afterall this is what Sheens is on about now ....development and you need the time to mould a team that is capable of making the 8 ...
I know the same old people on here will start bagging my opinion but to bad ...

100% fact. A really good roster, a good run with injuries and then a bit of magic in relation to bringing it all together to win a comp.

Maguire and Sheens have both won comps. Cleary has as well and he destroyed our club.

3.5 years of crap not enough? He's gone and for good reason.

The crap was the roster. You said it coaches dont win competitions by accident. I agree with you.

Yes he is gone to your great joy...what about the other 8.5 years of crap,do we put that on Madge as well???

 

[tigermaniac]

Quite easily actually. Based on your posts so far, it's no shock you couldn't make it past the opening lines. Try sounding out the big words first and I'm sure you'll get through the rest of it.
I believe in you, little champion.

Don't forget pick up some wax for when you and paws polish Lee's car, boot licker.

It's a good argument but only if the coach is not the key person that Sheens has been stating he is.

If the coach only gets 3 years then you have to take recruitment and retention out of the coaches hands.

Madge has a plan, trust in Madge. Remember those slogans TT? They are all empty and meaningless now.

Maguire signed up for the role, he wasn't forced. How long would you give him to "turn" matters around? Another 3.5 years?

But what about the other years Paws....Madge should have been given the chance to finish what he started,not get the arse because of trying to mould a team that a lot were still learning and a heap of injuries ...

Im telling you what I know to be true.

Woolfe has spoken to Tigers. Flanno didnt.

It will NOT be Flanno, Green or Woolfe.

Anecdotal, but a colleague of mine bumped into Flanno at a job we were doing at Taren Point. The colleague is a Tigers fan also and actually hit him up about potentially taking the role on. Flanno literally laughed at him.

Not nearly as much as you're enjoying polishing Lee's car. Maybe if you do a good enough job on it, the rest of the board might employ your services. Wouldn't that be awesome, eh little guy?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

In the modern NRL, players make the coach, not the other way around. Bellamy would be the only coach that might be the exception to the rule. Not even Robbo would succeed here with our lot.

You effectively need a man manager to lure and cater to the best in the game, who also would invariably have the largest egoes.

TT, when do the excuses end? He's gone which is a good outcome for WTs.

Gee CB.I hope Flanno laughed at him because he is to busy with the media to take the job on....
But I dont think so....

No, he thinks we are a poisoned chalice. I'd like him as he is the best on offer but I highly doubt he would come here.

Get this dude to sort them out

Or Brett Hodgson

Maguire didn't create the problem nor could he fix it. The problem lies in the club's ability to recruit and retain a roster capable of competing and playing finals footy. It was a problem before he came and it still is and until that changes all coaches will suffer from the same fate. The exact reason why our main target for coach said thanks but no thanks.
