Have you read all of mine?

I have not read all of yours, but I reckon there are better than that one out there already.

Off course i can see why there is a pro Sheens group of supporters but that does not mean everybody has to subscribe to it.When Sheens first came to the club i was delighted as i could see the positives he could bring to the club and he did that a couple of years before i expected (2005) yet he failed to build on that good base that we had and for the next 4 years he could not even make the semis again in a competition where 50% of the teams make it each year and his recruitment during that time was poor.2010 saw the acquisition of a player who made a large difference Ellis (thank you buckets for getting him) and Lui (good halfback Sheens recruited as a school kid).

Sheen's brings both good and bad and always has but some on here will accept no criticism of him

Pros still out weigh the cons, by a long margin.
I’ll take sheens over any Maguire, Taylor, Potter, Lamb, Pearce, etc, etc.
Your 50% quote is fine when comparing apples. But not basket case clubs with heaps of debt and no strong leadership. Sheens brought together two fighting merged clubs when no other could. Now wests run the shop, money is good, new COE, let’s get behind them. Not push them in front of a truck, the media do that enough for us.

Will put on the to do list

That Didn't work out too well for them either.

That's what I was thinking the senior player's did not handle expectations very well of being favourites to win the title Sheenius gets the boot then senior players complain about Potter can not coach them as well as Sheenius and cause trouble for him then the next guy struggles as well

And the board have power trips when Potter and Taylor are there no one strong enough to handle them like Sheenius did and they run amuck not one good junior was poached under Sheenius some let go like Jeff Lima but none poached it's a shame he did not finish his contract biggest mistake made by the Tigers

Nothing wrong with looking at the club
or Sheens' second coming with rose
tinted glasses @Telltails it's a nice change
in fact. We seem abit accustomed
to being dragged through the coals
in the media due to our lack of success
and I think it's rubbed off on punters.
Folks have become a bit cynical and
are tired of being paid lip service, I
fully get it. I just don't see the point of
raving on about it, or shaming people
into believing that this time things
might be different/looking up for us

I think most people can appreciate that there are some who are excited that Sheens is back and even I am cautiously optimistic about our top 8 chances next year with the forward pack that has been put together. However, that doesn’t mean they get to be delusional, tell lies and ignore reality which a large number of the Sheens fluffers do. Facts are that Sheens has not achieved any success as a coach in over a decade and has been sacked from two clubs in that time with poor roster management being one of the fundamental reasons. Not to mention the shady nature of how he has returned to be our coach.

Having said that, I’m happy to give him the chance that the Sheens fluffers didn’t give Madge. At the same time though, I’m not going to let the Sheens fluffers on here try to piss on everyone’s head and pass it off as rain.

They suffer from victims mentality.
Nobody is stopping them from forming
or expressing their opinions the fools.
If they think Sheens is shit house and
we're going to suck in 2023 then they
better get offline and stay away from
the forum for their own health smh.
They come on here blurting and pushing
their opinions and negativity to the good
folks that so happen to be excited about
next season. Sheens' tenure and how
it ended is old news and has been
discussed on here ad nasuem haha.

Digging into the past to look for faults, or imagined faults seems to be the passion of some.
Memories are often incorrect, and to say that anyone has not made errors, is a lie. I'm sure Sheens like most of us , has got smarter with age.

For the all of our sakes I hope you are right.

Just hit the ignore button on the cheerleaders and people that talk drivel.

No need to get worked up about it.

 

[cqtiger]

I hope Sheens does well for the next couple of years but I would be hoping for the same whoever coaches us after the last 3.5 years of rubbish. I had high hopes for Maguire - how wrong I was.

I'm in the same boat, and most others.

start a coaching thread for this junk

 

[Moh]

Come here for news, end up skipping past 99% of the posts.

Just create a thread for whatever unrelated thing you're talking about, everyone will be happier.

 

[SeanT]

If Papali’i has just made a half break and gets a quick PTB he’ll have more time to execute it. That’s the difference good forwards make.

He's too far back when he kicks it too. All players are offside by the time he connects.

 

[twentyforty]

Have Eels announced the Moses’ re-signing yet?

Andrew Fifita says Hi

 

[Odessa]

Andrew Fifita says Hi

He was not poached he was let go

 

[happy_tiger]

He was not poached he was let go

Poor decision as far as recruitment and retention goes ...all under Sheens vision

 

[the_third]

He was not poached he was let go

-Gibbs and Fifita, +Woods, Groat and Blair

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens preferred to keep Aaron Woods, Matt Groat over Bryce Gibbs, Andrew Fifita

Why I signed Blair: Sheens
