Wests Tigers Coaches

Has anybody considered that Gardiner knocked back an offer to coach the team

If he did that is an even bigger criticism of our club than anything else.Management from board level down has never looked as poor as it has done in 2022

I've considered it now. I reckon he would have jumped at the opportunity.

He is a school teacher, full time NRL coach he didn’t want (even interim)…

 

[Kiama 2533]

I didn’t have any inside information I just thought it may have been a possibility as it is a lose/lose situation. Look at Potter didn’t get the job even though he improved them. Gardiner might have been smart not to take it on.

Lol I said a few weeks back he probably knocked us back.
Makes sense.

based on what teachers get paid versus first grade coaches I would find that hard to believe 😎

Its fact..believe it or not (Ripleys)

30 years as a teacher probably upwards of $3-4 million

Wests tigers coach - career suicide and a knife in the back $400,000.

Anyone got access the the DT article?What Benji and Sheens can do to fix Tigers.

 

[Sco77y]

I realise our incoming coach believes Sam Walker “is not getting paid to tackle,” “that’s not his job,” but gosh, you gotta admire his defence last night against Storm. He saved a couple of tries, and is looking like a GF style 7.

Who said this? With that attitude, looks like we have some great improvement in defence to look forward to 🙄

Not sure mate looks like an opinion piece

Not a worry, a lot can happen during the next 2 years. He could change his mind?

 

[tigertragic]

Have no doubt these results lie squarely with Sheens/Benji who decided to release and loan players whilst announcing the priority was 2024 and beyond, giving them a better opportunity for success under their watch. Stuff the 2022/23 supporters

 

[Harvey]

Not sure we will get the players we loaned out back. Dementia might mean our new coach doesn’t remember that they are contracted

Everyone seems to be directing darts at Sheens for losses since he's been here, I don't blame them.
What's his job ATM?
I refuse to believe Tim is just having a sauna at the COE.
One hope is he's hard it at getting the roster and recruitment ready for next year and that's his prime focus.
Next year he is responsible for the roster.
I still don't believe he's just sitting on his hands and he is on the payroll... isn't he?
What if he's been working hard and has had some success?
I don't know if the same applies to Benji and Robbie.
I think Gardiner could have had a more proactive roll in this regardless of him leaving.
The main thing I want is a good roster in 03 and if Tim needs this time to get it done then so be it.

Tim, benji and Robbie have said what they can guarantee is they will leave no stone unturned from next season.

Sheens has specifically said he did not coach this year to prepare for next season which includes getting two rookie coaches ready.

The boys are working hard don't worry about that their energy is on next season and beyond.

Exactly. The forum needs to understand and trust this but do you blame them for doubting, NO.

Yep no doubt next year coaching squad are up against it, likely biting more than they can chew. But the better prepared for next year the better.

 

[Bellend]

Why was Brett Kimmorely promoted over Gardiner?? Uncle Timmy needs to explain why this happened because the only time we saw real improvement from this squad was when Gardiner was in charge against the Broncos

 

[pawsandclaws1]

We have the best coach WTs have ever had, plus our two best ever players on-board to try and get WTs out of this situation. I have no doubt they will be doing everything possible to resuscitate the club.

I hope Jordan Hill is back with WTs. Hill, Scolari and hopefully Staines will rectify the lack of pace on the wings plus provide an additional fullback option. Blake Lawrie is another I'd like to see at the club if possible.
