“We were a lot better when Sheens was here”…

that’s an opinion…we were 10th in Sheens last year and finished 9th three times since

“ Sheens knows his footy”…

Thats an opinion..

If he is so good, then why was no one else in the NRL interested in him when he was shown the door here 10 years ago …

”compared to people we tried to bring in”

Cleary?

Just ignore the fact he is the only coach that has guided us toward the finals---

And who would you have selected?

They actually selected Craig Bellamy at the start, but he declined. You can only choose from the candidates available to you.

Wayne Bennett agreed to join Tigers but would not leave prior to seeing out his Broncos contract, and we needed a new coach that following season.

Assuming Taylor and Potter are the "bad" coaches since Sheens, I am not certain who the alternative candidates were at the time. Potter did alright with the Bulldogs 2022. Our next selection Cleary is about to win his second premiership in a row. Madge has won a premiership before.

Slim pickings otherwise I think.

That's not an apologist position either, it's just a consideration of each decision as it was made at each point in time.

I agree and, while I think a great coach is vital, I think a lot beyond the coach within a club makes a coach successful. Our club has been poorly administrated for a while. I think Sheens won in 2005 despite club management.
 
How about we all move on from past coaches and decisions made or open a coaches tread to discuss until your hearts content..
Its getting boring now folks

We all want to same thing now and that's to start been competitive and moving up the ladder regardless who is coach..

I hope we are in talks with N Brown or Liam Martin as we clearly lack some mongrel and go forward. Happy with the swap for Stains over Peachey if true as Peachey add nothing to us.

To be fair we also had a good crack 2 other seasons outside of 05.
Sheens just knew how to manage the administration TBH.
Benji started his early interviews around how much of a focus will be on managing the administration. I don't think any of the other coaches had any idea about this.

Total class again by yourself, doin your family proud!
Info played great for the drizzle at the end of the year, hardly a defensive error! Me thinks he had good reason to bag his inside men! Thanks

He actually did do well for Melbourne. Might be a case that he listened to some decent coaching
