Wests Tigers Coaches

Wests Tigers search for a development coach capable of turning around a decade of disappointment is staring them straight in the face after it emerged Wayne Lambkin has now applied for the top job.

Lambkin was head coach of the renowned rugby league nursery at Westfields Sports High for 20 years and only gave up that job this year at Tim Sheens’ request to take on a fulltime position as Tigers’ NSW Cup coach.

While he doesn’t have the public profile of some other contenders being pushed heavily to take over from Michael Maguire, what Lambkin does have is a phenomenal record of not only identifying but nurturing some of the game’s greatest talent over two decades.

At Westfields Lambkin coached the likes of Jarryd Hayne, Israel Folau, Krisnan Inu, Tony Williams, Issac Luke, Luke O’Donnell, Michael Greenfield, Trent Hodkinson, Matt Keating, David Klemmer, Blake Green, Manase Fainu, Tommy Talau, Jason Saab, Moses Suli, Trey Mooney, Sione Katoa, Brandon Wakeham, Stefano Utoikamanu, Jake Averillo, Josh Schuster, Taniela Paseka and Haumole Olakau’atu among many, many more.

It was also Lambkin who famously spotted Olakau’atu sitting in a car park and encouraged him to have a crack at footy.

He also coached Manly to an under 20s NYC premiership in 2017 with a team that had only won two games the previous year, while he was NSW Cup coach at the Bears when they were the feeder for the Rabbitohs en route to the 2014 NRL title.

At the Bears the likes of Luke Keary, Dylan Walker and the Burgess brothers developed on his watch.

The Tigers recently signed five of Lambkin’s former Westfields’ students to long term deals, while 13 of the undefeated Harold Matthews Cup squad also went through Westfields.

It’s a proven record that suggests Lambkin would be an ideal fit to work with Sheens to get the best out of the talent now coming through the lower grades.

“I have sat back and had a look at the situation, I know I can do the job,” Lambkin said.

“The club is looking for a development coach and I would back my experience in that department against anyone.”

Not so sure. Sacking a respected coach - whether you like Maguire or not- for a dud roster stinks of a club with no idea. Players - everyone - knows that our roster is below par. Most clubs have at least one rep player and some a laden with them, and we don't have one even being talked about. The only player that gets talked about at our club is the player who has never lived up to expectation for the last 7 years - and yet we sack the coach. Now we have a reputation of destroying coaching careers. We look like amateurs in a competitive market.

Chairman thinks it’s a strong roster. Quoted several times. Stick to sponsorship.

The Sheens effect. Why did he state something so stupid.

Has Lambkin coached at any other level ?

Let's be honest it's just a pot luck at this point. Give him a shot.

It’s like a soapie this coach thing

Joe O.. wants Wolf
AD wants Seibold
Jacko wants Madge back
And all the JPY ( yesterday heroes) want Sheens

Maybe we can have a lucky dip, everyone puts their selection in the barrel and Pascoe draws out the winner

The way the club is run is like a soapie called Days Of Our Lives,full of shit drama,a focal point of conversations for all the wrong reasons. No good coach is going to come here with all the drama associated with this club.
