Wests Tigers Coaches

Honestly I think this decision is enough for me to give up my membership. Some decisions made have been bad in hindsight, this one is terrible in advance.

Sheens could be god, Buddha and all sorts of divine entities rolled into one, but he is destined to fail. His rookie offsiders will suddenly become great coaches with 2 years under him. Somehow they will also be great man managers, be able to inspire and educate others despite most history showing them to be self absorbed and deaf to alternate views.

Considering we couldn’t convince a single coach to come when there are only 16 openings, how will we ever sign a player that has an alternate option.

Poor didums
 
Well I guess this call made the back to the future toadies happy. I mean, what could be better than getting the old gang back together, Sheensy, Robbie and Benji? 2005 here we come all over again. Whoopie!
I'm secretly hoping that this is a genuine Sheens smokescreen and we've hired a real coach, to be announced soon. If so, I'll rejoice, if not, Oh well, more WT crap.
Get that mockumentary happening!

Robbie can pull the boots on next year. Will be at least as effective as when he played on one leg with a top 8 spot on the line

Lets be real

Instead of looking ahead and thinking progressively we look and ACT backwards and make a choice that keeps us safe and cozy where nothing changes and where no high expectations will be emphasized from the big wigs at the club for the tenure of Sheens...so another 1-2 years of zero progress.

Paul Kent was 100% right on the comment he made last night, how we - the fans - have not burnt down the doors of the people running this club and demanded better from them is beyond understanding. We are a flaccid bunch.

We really do just put up with utter utter Sh*te

What do you propose to do Zach?

Burn down the doors of the CoE? Eat a meal at Wests Ashfield and leave without paying?
 
In 2021 I would have given you a million-to-one for Sheens to ever be head coach of Tigers again. But with everything unprecedented that has happened these past few years, I don't know why we should be shocked.

Aliens are landing on Earth next month, it's inevitable.

Unfortunately the responsibility that comes with being the Wests Tigers coach isn't as straightforward as coaching the team but is more a balancing act in which handling our board, club systems & infrastructures, media pressure and a number of other interconnected tasks or matters need to be bridled. Or at least understood.
It seems more sensible not to recruit a rookie coach and until we can get our house in order, the job will overpower almost every successor IMO.

If we have competent assistant coaches that can capably direct the team (with gameplans, technical preparation, attacking and defensive structures etc ,), then all Sheens really has to do is offer his expertise and presence to manage (I'm not joking) team selections, media scrutiny, boardroom politics and retention & recruitment - aimed at fulfilling key positions for the club's succession planning. Future coach included.
We're not in an ideal situation so need someone who is able to handle the heat and accepts all the challenges that come with the job.

Well put and agree fully.
In my opinion having a rookie coach exposed to our situation and particularly for a 5 years …. is just bad business decision.
So Red flags everywhere when CC and Morris approach.
Right way forward for sure.
Making right Recruitment and retention decisions is now key to what happens next.

I wonder what Sheens saw in Maguire that he thought was so bad. This quite seriously compounds the betrayal. I'd guess it looks amateurish to the players, the last year has been an absolute flip flopping chaotic mess for the tigers' management. I get bad results on the field but the way announcements and decisions have been made is absolutely awful.
