Tupou needs to be upgraded big time. He has gone from quiet kid to beast in a matter of a few games. The Roosters grabbed a similar player in Dominic Young without hesitation.
The purpose of these interviews is to discuss and offer practical insight around any game day elements.
We're yet to win a match, so no offence, these interviews wouldn't exactly be very encouraging to the supporter base.
I have no idea how Sheens could even (attempt to) talk about the team in a reasonable manner at all, let alone for 18 minutes. Hope he goes back to the 5 or 6 minutes personally.
Plus when the circumstances are more favourable we wouldn't feel the need to criticise everything.
Not to be rude, but do people understand the definition of hype?
I also recall that Sheens only spoke about him a couple of times during the pre-season - never boasted or exaggerated his abilities, it was only in relation to the fullback position. So that isn't how hype is generated.
How information is processed and transmitted is on the individual/s.
You can't blame someone else for how you take something or what you choose to believe and then share.
Say what you want about the coaching but from what I've seen from Sheens (in interviews) he's always trying to protect the players and team from unwanted media attention and scrutiny.
Only ever saw it (his comments on Bula during the pre-season) as a marketing tool aimed at stakeholders to display player or team developments (in the football department). My observations are obviously different from others so please don't take offence but the Wests Tigers supporter base and sponsors are the main target audience here (with club media events/interviews) and their/our reaction is the catalyst or driving force behind it.
This is a good example of how perceptions can negatively shape expectations.

Unspent cap money this year, if management even think of saving those dollars instead of upgrading this kid , they will go down as the worse management team in tigers history,
That has never stopped the Murdoch media as laws don't apply to them as they see it,they say and print whatever they like as events in the USA and Britain have shown in the past.News Ltd is so bad they should be part of the North Korean government
Too sensible.. Very un-Sheens like
P
Lol. First off, we won only four games last season because Sheens took the reins and wrote off the back end of the season. Secondly, having said that, I don’t think winning more than four games this year is a measure of success, or an improvement. Lastly, we’re not looking in any sort of shape to win more than four games!

The Dominion Lawsuit recently settled indicates, at least in the US, no you can't just say whatever you want, at least not without consequences.

I specifically remember him talking him up in an interview and how he was just a gifted athlete and would be pushing for a go at fullback.

Yeah agree totally, why put Wakeham in at 6, if in a fortnight your possibly going to punt him for Laurie, just pop Laurie in there now. As for Staines he has done everything asked of him wether on the wing or fullback. We have players coming and going from our first grade squad to reserves. Yet Brooks never moves, they'll rearrange the whole team to find somewhere in the halves for him, Sheens reckons he's playing well, I think not only is Sheens going senile but he's blind aswell.

Things will look better in a could of hours
Was a Roosters junior. I believe he may have played Australian Schoolboys rugby. Tore us up in a trial game 2 or 3 years ago when he was 18/19. I’ve haven’t kept too much of on eye on him since then.
Let’s hope so. Keen to see Bula play
