Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I’ve been told Benji is running the show like a head coach already.

Sheens is only there to take the focus off him and not have to do the media / defend himself if it starts going pear shaped and act like a mentor.

Sheens is pretty much doing his head of football job + media.

It sure looked like it on the weekend. I think it's a great idea.

And yet you've hired an ex-SL failure who presided over similar signings or worse and made an even bigger mess than what he started with. You've not thought this through, have you champ?

Grow up chump!

The coach coaches - the players play!!

WTF is your supposed comparison???

The FACT is YOUR pommy shit comp is dominated by ex-Aussie/Poly players who can't make a buck in a real competition!!

Go back to supporting Castleford of whatever dumpster fire of a joint you are here for!

Comparing coaches to players is too dumb for an alleged 50 year old!

First and foremost I support Liverpool. (St. Helens a close second) 99.43% of Liverpool fans don't even know you exist. The rest think you play in South America, or Antarctica or some other far flung part of the world where no one visits. I'm the best friend you have up there. 🤣🤣🤣

The bloke who won 4 nrl premierships over 3 decades? The guy who struggled at ntd Qld, but then won a premiership for us.

Yeah, weird choice. No track record.

Cap is just a slang term that lads at the chooks use according to Uncle Nick. Salary cap??
Never heard of it

Radley is the aldi version of Cam Murray

Because he spends half the season suspended or concussed, in reality he's getting paid twice as much per games played.
 
Also when you look at top 7 teams unless one of them stuff up and have a bad year everyone else is fighting for 8th place… just very little hope of making the 8 right? Lol.


Storm
Parra
Riff
Souths
Sharks
Cows
Roosters

Not in order btw

We’re really two gun players shy of being up there… maybe 1 if he was a Hynes type.

John Monie won how many titles with Parra? And yet in his final years at Wigan they couldn't shove him out the door quick enough.

He won one and has taken over a side that was already the team of the decade and the slide began on his watch

He then went to Wigan and won a ton of trophies. They were easily the best team on the planet at the time largely because they were the only full time team on the planet. After that he went to Auckland - disaster. Returned to Wigan - bigger disaster. Coaches have a shelf-life - whether it be rugby, football, gridiron, whatever. When it's hot it's hot. And when it goes sideways you very rarely come back. In his final two stints in England Sheens took Hull KR up from the second division, won some games, lost even more games, made a ton of very dubious signings (Adam Quinlan was his playmaking fullback ... Adam Quinlan!), the team's form collapsed, he lost the dressing room and they ran him out the door. He then went to Widnes and was kicked out before he'd even taken off his coat. If Sheens had been all that he would have been snapped up by one of the bigger teams (like a Tony Smith or an Ian Watson). No one was interested in hiring him - beyond Widnes. No one.

Angus Crichton to take indefinite break after bipolar diagnosis

Father of Roosters forward confirmed his son was receiving professional treatment for bipolar disorder and would take as much time out of the game as he needs to deal with the condition.
www.smh.com.au www.smh.com.au

I think the Roosters are writing off 2023.
You can see it in the team you can see it in what you hear.

Heck they seem to have trained at 10000% and it's really taking a toll on them.

Wait so medical retirement at the roosters:
Boyd C
Keary (I believe this is happening)
Lindsay Collins??? (He has had a stack of concussions).
Jake Friend (or did he just retire?)

who else am I missing?
Dogs/Roosters seem to be managing the cap this way. .. Why could'nt we think of this 4 years ago?

Nah aprently there were rumours around crichton for awhile mainly around drugs which is probably why they revealed he is bipolar

Some coaches just know clubs and how to get the best out of them. Got us no one has done it better than Sheens! Obviously we are in hope that he can achieve that again. Don’t forget that it’s bunji is in the picture as well, sheens being more like a mentor than head coach. So u really have no clue on what’s going to happen, just stabbing in the dark…

Did anyone hear Corey Parker on SEN this afternoon saying something like the Moses deal is not done and Benji is still in contact with him ?? Anyone hear this.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, the minute Gus pulls out and says he’s not leaving Parra we knew he wasn’t coming.

We’ve never beaten Gus to a signing over numerous years.

Looked a lot like that in the coaches box as well last Sunday. Robbie and Benji seated at the front using the radio while Sheens was standing in the background. I like it

I’ll like what ever works, let’s just watch and see what evolves as the season progresses.
Tim might go back to his preferred position on the sideline and let the trainees do the high up assessment.
But I figure if you see Tim sitting down and on the 2 way we’ve got on field issues.
