Sheens should retire

[ancient_magpie]

I say this for these reasons. 1. He let's Hastings go so Brooks could play half then after 4 or 5 weeks shifts Brooks to 5/8.
2. He plays kepaoa in the centres where he can't defend eg keeps racing up.
3 Keeps playing talau enough said.
4 plays paplili on the wrong side.
5.Puts toa at5/8 for one week then back to centre that's great for combinations.
6.Lastly after playing Laurie at fullback for so many weeks in koe now expects him to fire at 5/8 in first grade .
There's more but I won't bore you as you all know already.
Anyway that's why I think he should retire.

Agree to disagree 😊

Ageee to agree

The roster has improved but the results have gone backwards.

While I agree, I'd rather Lee and Pascoe were gone first. They have an uncanny knack of creating a mess out of nothing, year after year.

Hastings was not the answer at 7 regardless especially not on the 900k rumoured Newcastle paid for him

Sheens Lee Pascoe and the entire board should go and the quicker the better.All have contributed to the complete shambles that the club is at the moment.The only ones who have achieved anything good for the club is Pascoe financialy and Sheens almost 2 decades ago.They all need to go as it hard to imagine we could possibly get anyone worse in their position.
Their use by date has long since gone

They’ve mostly all bought their way in, not been elected, or hired on merit alone.
The selection criteria needs to be redesigned, otherwise we get more of the same.

People need to understand that Tim Sheens IS the Wests Tigers. The club is an angry dinosaur who thinks he knows best in spite of all evidence to the contrary. It is a guy who is better at training up others to succeed elsewhere. The club is a guy who can reminisce about past glories as it moves forward to fresh disaster.

We are all Tim Sheens. We are all an ageing old prop, angry at the world, doomed to repeat the failures of yesteryear.

He's getting paid more than Brooks...

For a reason 😆

 

[tiger_scott]

I think if we can get the halves sorted for '24 he might just (retire). Say we sign Trindall (pending Sharks' release), Fainu, plus one other like Volkman, AND Benji says he's right to go now, I can see Sheens going back to his previous role and Benji starting sooner. All the WT media shows Benji running the field sessions already. He is probably coach in all but title already, with Sheens taking the media heat.

And of course, Batemans ultimatum about playing with Hastings, and Hastings dummy spit about playing 13, ruined what could have been a very solid scrum base.
I thought Brooks was a little better having Hastings around him and gave us left and right side options.
Then throw in ADs injury and it’s a complete mess.

Never mind all that other stuff, I just want him to repeat 2005.

Maybe I another season or two but we are a long way from it yet.

Brooks dodged a bullet not ending up at Newcastle

not sure about the alleged Bateman issues with Hastings but old jacko plays a good game with the media says all the right things yet usually gets moved on from clubs after 2 years. Let's see how gagai ponga Hastings and O'Brien' egos all end up
hastings is a Good 13 but not a 7

Tim didn't let him go?

 

[clokan]

I'm in two minds about Tim, seems to make some poor decisions but also has promoted some Juniors and is shielding Benji from fronting the media, press conferences especially. Benji may or may not be ready to coach the players but probably still has a bit to learn about politics in the club and with the media, the old guy still has some stuff he can pass on. In the end Benji will coach to his own style, but he can learn a lot about the skills outside of coaching the players from Sheen's.

There is a realistic chance that Sheens delivers us a three-peat of spoons. As our former captain brilliantly put it, "It is what it is."
