Plus had a crap team around him.

Reality is our club lost their shit when they punted sheens.

I don't begrudge any player for leaving I blame the club for poor management. Yes the club turned their finances around but football management has been disgusting and negligent since sheens left.

It was the same when he ws here - why did they let him screw our salary cap? As bad as each other imo and that's why I'm not a fan of his appointment.

A lot of rewriting history there,Sheens was largely responsible for destroying our salary cap and completely responsible for signing Anasta and Blair.There were very good reasons for sacking him

100%, Sheens should have been let go earlier, the club crapped their pants when Penrith wanted him, so they re-signed him to a big multi year deal, when they should have dropped him off at Penrith and got a new coach

The Bulldogs are circling Crichton as a potential fullback, while the Eels are lining up Martin, who has been in talks about a four-year extension at the Panthers.

Martin has been in negotiations with the Panthers for almost three months, but Penrith is baulking at the hard-running backrower’s asking price of just over $550,000 a season.

Panthers pair Staines and Leniu have also been linked with moves at the end of this season – and Wests Tigers are circling the pair.

Staines is expected to be part of a player swap with ex-Panther Tyrone Peachey once the grand final is over, while Leniu could be moved on because of Penrith’s tight salary cap.

The Dragons discussed making a play for Leniu, but have so far opted against it. (DT)

We should be taking Staines to get Leinu, and making Martin a decent offer as well, we can afford it

We were alot better when Sheens was here. People sooking about the 2012 season must be happy with the 10 years of pain since 2012.

I think history has shown sheens knows his footy compared to the people we tried to bring in since his left.

Sheens knows his footy and write off Marshall at your own peril. Good times ahead.

I have no personal feeling towards him,i have said many times that he was the right person to come to the club when he initially did but by the time he was sacked it was overdue.If anybody seems to have let personal feelings cloud their judgment it would be you as you don't seem to see ot are happy to ignore the massive amount of damage he did to our club.

If you only take into account our position on the table, we may have been better in the short term but he was a major part of the long term pain to follow. His, and the club's letting him, over-spending put us in financial difficulties and the long years of suffering that have followed. Sheens was directly resonsible for the stupid decisions that followed but he played a huge part in the initial stuff ups.

I wish I had your blind faith Sheens. He was a bad boy and may still be so.

I think I've made my point clear after repeating it 3 times but the club has been a lot worse since he left.

Generally it's stupid to sack someone without a better replacement.
 
Need to offer overs for both Leniu and Martin. Staines I am neither here nor there.

If Penrith are baulking at 550k for Martin, we need to come in 20-25% more at about $750-800k for him to consider us. (He is not coming for slightly more people)

Lenui
Korisau
Stefano
Papaali
Blore
Martin

Actually looks like a half decent pack.

I wish I had your blind faith but God is not real, neither is the messiah Sheens. He was a bad boy and may still be so.

Like I said I'm not interested in people personal opinion in sheens.

The mess of the past 10 years is not on sheens.
