Wests Tigers Coaches

It is well documented that the Tigers were all in for Ciraldo and thought they had him. I don't subscribe to the knives in the back thing re Madge as it was clear Sheens wanted Ciraldo, not himself, in the main role. If Morris doesn't want the job, as some have reported, maybe the club is getting desperate and see that Sheens can provide some short term stability and direction. Who knows?

It was always an each way bet whether Ciraldo would take the job. We are not a club that successfully targets the people we want - especially if they have percieved better options.
Seems Maguire was on the chopping block with Sheens whether Ciraldo was coming or not - what is interesting is whether Sheens was considering the possibility of coaching if the opportunity arose before or after Maguire got the axe. Rothfield always suggested he didn't think Sheens was finished as a coach soon.as Maguire was gone and looks like he could be right.
 
One thing Sheens did as coach was have a clear development pathway. He also built a brand of Tigers football that win, lose or draw we enjoyed watching.

I don’t think he’ll take this group of players anywhere near the 8 next year, but I do think he’ll lay the foundations for the next coach to take over with decent players coming through and a team that knows who they are.

Wests Tigers supremo Tim Sheens has indicated to the club that he is willing to step into the hot seat and coach the club next season.
Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Herald that Wests Tigers powerbrokers have approached Sheens to see if he has any interest in returning to NRL coaching a decade after he was sacked by the club.

While the Tigers are still exploring their coaching options for next year, there has been huge support from club greats for Sheens to fill the void created by Michael Maguire’s sackingearlier this season.
The club has approached Sheens to gauge his appetite and are considering offering him the job for next season.

The club knows the 71-year-old would be a short-term solution. He would help get the club back on track and mentor a group of assistants, eventually grooming one of them to take over when he finishes up in a couple of years.
The Tigers are also considering making an offer to Eels forward Nathan Brown to join the club. Brown was recently granted a release from his management company Ignite Sports, which is led by Joe and Johnathan Wehbe.
Brown, who returned to the NRL against the Tigers on Saturday nightafter a stint in reserve grade, is currently in discussions with other agents.
He will then sit down with the Tigers to discuss a potential return to the club.
Parramatta is unlikely to stand in his way. He has another year to run on his deal.

The last nail in the coffin.
 
Oh dear. Sheens coaching again. I think people need to forget nostalgia from 15 or so years ago and remember the years of pain we endured with him as coach. We've all moved on and so should he. Even putting him in as caretaker coach will detract from the role he was brought in for. Tbh Tim should not coaching any team again let alone ours.

That post you quoted is me saying who Sheens is investigating.....obviously not Sheens.

3 days later I posted EXACTLY what is going on now and you said I was FOS.

"The Wests Tigers have had their first 4 choices decline the offer. They are now in a holding pattern considering whether to pursue a left of field option or ask Sheens.

If Sheens ends up as our head coach it will only be due to his own catastrophic failure. How on earth could anyone have confidence in a club where the person in charge with signing our new coach fails to get any of the intended targets and ends up recruiting himself for the job he was interviewing candidates for?!
It would make us even more of a laughing stock, and showcase our failure to the world.

He failed with a much stronger squad previously. He's old and crazy ways may help with a head of football role but he's not equipped to be a head coach for any club in 2023
 
Don't mind Sheens coaching if he's the best option atm. My issue is with potentially having Benji and Robbie as assistants, they're not potentially being groomed to take over one day because they're the best candidates, it's because they're legends of the club, I don't see how that's conducive to success, Lambkin, Morris and Kimmorley as understudies I can get behind because they've gone through the lower grades to earn their stripes but Benji and Robbie just seem to be out of desperation to get the media and fan base on side if it happens like that I think it's a brain-dead decision.
 
Great idea the only choice for one year bring along long term coach for 24 but of course the disrespect he will receive by certain people on this site is nothing more than a pile of crap,we all no who are the gods gifts to the internet and they just keep giving.

I did enjoy the switch of Nofoaluma to the left, He played one of his better games in a long while. At the end when we needed points. Nofoaluma and Brooks delivered off the back of the some hard forward play. Whomever was responsible for the switch made a great decision.

Agree Nofoaloma is starved for ball on right previous 2 or 3 games not even one decent draw and pass to him on rightside
He got a remarkable try on right against dogs a couple of weeks ago but that was from a miscued kick. We mostly go left in attack
