Coaches Corner

Here are 7 points to remember rather than reflecting on the terrible loss on Saturday.

1. The silence from Sheens/Benji/Robbie is only because they are working on 2023 & beyond. Currently sorting out the football staff they want so can start the pre-season as a new era with coaching, facilities & leaders.

2. The final 2 rounds will be telling for the future of Douehi, Madden, Musgrove, Seyfarth; if Freebairn, Dias continue on T&Ts; and blooding Tumeth, Kautoga and more experience for Tupou. The attitude & qualities of Douehi over the next fortnight could play a big part on his future.

3. Korisau & Paapali will be important leaders for us moving forward along with Hastings & Offa once those deals can be done. I'd be confident Sheens/Benji will be trying to recruit another forward leader (ideally John Bateman or the likes of a Joe Stimson who is solid & good clubman) and backline leader (possibly a Ricky Leutele back from Super League for 1 season). While many may scoff at a Stimson or Leutele, their experience, professionalism & leadership important for the young guys.

4. We will have Blore, Utoikamanu, Brooks, Twal, Hastings & possibly a remodelled Talau to return.

5. I'm sure Sheens/Benji/Farah and the player leaders will sit down in the offseason to germinate our new culture & style of play moving forward.

6. Tupou, Fainu, O'Kane, Kautoga, Tumeth, Matamua, Reilly, Api Saukuru, Ngatikaura, Scolari, Kade Hill, Camroux, Livai Saukuru, Jahream Bula, Peni should all develop in NSW Cup next season (the only Cup players I'd retain are Aitasi James & Freebairn, jury out on Maanaima).

7. Many of our Flegg players can stay in Flegg another season & look forward to our top SG Ball players this season moving up including Dotoi, Cathane Hill, Herman Tofaono, Levi Conti, Tom Fisher as well as the likes of recruit Josh Feledy.
 
Not only has Sheens not stepped up, but he has effectively undermined Kimmorley by releasing and loaning players.

Does anyone think that this decision rests with Kimmorley?

Absolutely weak effort by the club. Who hires an unemployed coach (or internal candidate) and then gives them gardening leave to start work next year.

It's all designed to make Sheens look good. We were 13th when he fired Maguire. Releasing and loaning players this year to look after Sheens when he takes over.

Now that we have the spoon, 15th is going to be an improvement.

The admin of this club is a disgrace, Sheens has walked in and outsmarted the board and CEO much like Ivan and numerous player managers have previously.

I remember it differently Mate. The rot literally started in 2012, 13 and 14 with Sheens' coaching, Robbie's big mouth and Benjis big belly and ego at the time.

Agreed but unfortunately some people on here have very short and selective memories.All 3 of the people you name have done good things for the club in the distant past but poor things for the club in the recent years.
It is only my opinion but Robbie is the most likely to make amends but only if he bides his time and is prepared to listen

Robbie's pigheaded but his passion for us can't be denied.
Always had tigers in his heart but got screwed by that scarecrow cuck.
Robbie front of house might go OK.
Benji is all about himself.
I don't mind shifty coaching until we can get someone else but benji has to pretty much walk on water to get me back supporting him.
He's shit on us more than once

Not hard to fool the management.
You can tell by all the disabled parking spots outside HQ and Tim's golf cart upside down by the door..

I think his novelty value has worn off and players are doing their own thing, OR he is such a newbie he doesn’t know how to handle it. Some coaches say, I’m gonna coach like the way I liked to be coached OR I’m gonna coach the way these guys need to be coached.
Any key management role is fundamentally about the carrot and stick approach, the secret is knowing when, and with whom, to apply it.

What happened to the coach that just wanted to have fun.

I'd throw away the carrot, find the biggest stick and sodomise these wannabes.
Nofo would come flying back for that
