Wests Tigers Coaches

And who has he pulled , other than hims*****

Seems like he’s popular to me. Uncle Wayne loves him.

 

[finnzo]

All jokes aside... I'm down with it.

I have plenty of questions but I’m super hopeful it works we really need some 1 defensive minded hopefully Nathan Kayles stays on board

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I have a fixation for WTs. Sheens imo has the strategic nous and ability to teach our younger players skills. so we improve Success or otherwise imo will be to a large extent determined by the assistants.

We will see in time. Happy to eat crow if it pays off.

A

They'll have to be - The whole competition is better....
Humans are more developed than they were 20 years ago.
There weren't Jason Taumalolo's running around in 05
Kikaus' etc....

Kids these days are enormous...

Alot of that has to do with the way the games played, if things stay as they are the players will be generally more bulky, with the wrestle and just punching through the line that grinds kind of game, if the game remained as it was in 05 more speed and skill based the players would be leaner, they'll adjust to suit the rules over a few seasons, it's remarkable how the guys who organise the fitness regimes at the teams adapt and the changes to the players is mind blowing, in saying that different types of players may have more impact than the players we have now, it's all about adapting and staying ahead of the curve, it's the miracle tonic all the clubs would kill for.

Coaching is about culture and the ability to create a team environment moreso than the game planning imo. If they can attract talent it’ll work.

 

[liltiger]

Two of those outcomes are actively in play

Which 2

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

All sounds a little unbelievable and to me always a bit suss when the words sources are used by journalists. Wouldn’t be surprised if this isn't an exercise in tracing the leak BUT if it's true the club has tried every thing else to gain success so something out of of left field might be good

*Spoilers*

It does not pay off.

I can definitely see benji attracted players to the club

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Should get Hino back to order the lunches.

Which none of them have a great record of doing....

benji on a 5 year deal
2 years as assistant to Sheens
not a bad move

 

[liltiger]

Had a hard time writing the article. Was trying to control my reactions with each word typed. Anger, laughter, sadness.

Are you really michael chammas

 

[batboy]

The biggest myth in Footy....
How, Who are the quality players he attracted in his playing days here?
No one wanted to play with him - But everyone is going to want to play for him?

He could attract kids, I'll agree with that...
Can he teach them the fundamentals - I saw nothing in his career to suggest he ever learned them himself....

*Spoilers*

Likely not. But I don't have a crystal ball and if you told me at round 10 in 2005 we would be premiers I'd have called bullshit. Also, I'm in a cyclic argument now and I want out lol...

Not a bad move at all.

It's catastrophic.

 

[tony soprano]

So all three of Wests new coaches have been fired from Wests at some stage of their career.

Anyone that defends the board and the CEO are absolute clowns.

The drum is beating

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Some people liked to claim Ivan’s real intention was to sabotage the club. Would love to know what they think of this.

 

[Odessa]

Sheens said he'd step down if he didn't make the finals in 2012. He didnt'.

Who's to say he won't be stubborn and refuse to relinquish the reins to Benji in 2 years time?

I am more worried father time mite get him

 

[jrtiger]

alright gents, probably going to get rinsed for this but here goes.

I'm stoked with this. Benji is a universally loved character that is adored by just about everybody in the league. this instantly improves our standing in the media and the player market. he understands the modern game because he's played it, and while he's not exactly qualified right now, by the time he serves his apprenticeship under one of the game's best ever coaches he will be ready.

we speak about identity and DNA all the time. Tim Sheens, Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah are as Wests Tigers as you can get.
