Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Apparently we were "enquiring to his availability" but whether that means we were looking into adding him to staff or pushing for something more I have no idea about that. Seemed odd to bring him in as an assistant but then these reports about Sheens and Benji being annoyed and frustrated came out the next day and suddenly the pieces start to come together. I asked if he knew if there was anymore to it but nothing else, he was certain we have at least had some contact with his management. I think there's a hell of a lot of conflict at the higher levels right now and we are starting to see that play out via the media. Just an absolute circus if that really is the case. Send us to Perth etc etc

Who would of thought sheens and Fulton would clash

Fair dinkum if recent rumour & innuendo about instability is true, Lee, the Board & Pascoe are going to have legions of passionate fans baying for blood! How can so-called leaders be so incompetent time & time again!

That’s what I heard

…. As in … influencing his decision making … and as Scott and Tim seem opposed on lots of things … benji has changed his views on a couple of things after Tim has gotten in his ear.

Again - don’t shoot messenger

Proof will be over next couple of months if we sign anyone and if tim benji and Scott all remain at the club

So does this unnamed player manager you spoke to live in the WT offices or has he planted a bug. How the hell would a player manager have first hand knowledge of Sheens changing Benjis mind on anything. Not even the senior playing group would be privy to what goes on between Sheens and Benji.

Seems the Holbrook rumour is gaining traction - wonder if it could be for more than just an assistant role.

Just my opinion but if that was to happen we really need to Cumberland Oval the club structures and start over.

Have it on very good authority that Holbrook isn’t interested in linking with the Wests Tigers. Joining the entire NRL community.

Sign the petition. Accountability isn't just a word.




LOL - one minute he is coming - the next minute he hates us. This forum is a magnificent source of entertainment. Who needs Netflix.

I wonder if the media and bulldogs forum will spin the Holbrook story as perhaps Gus and Ciraldo having a falling out.

Undermine ? really? I mean does he absolutely need McDonnel in the head scout position for the first grade team to perform.. McDonnell stilll had a job bit his ego couldn’t hack it.. based on his results he should have taken the opportunities to learn under Fulton IMO .. so many excuses made up to justify what sounds like sheens throwing his toys out of the pram and sulking.. if he is really carrying on as people are reporting just becuse of the Fulton signing then it absolutely reeks of him scapegoating it to justify the team’s abysmal performance this year.. I expect better from Tim, and hope it’s all rumours and media beat up, I really do! 🙏

Sheens was mindful of contracts with players signed into the Marshall tenure as coach ie none would be signed unless they have Marshall's agreement. That is indicative of respect between the two and also of Marshall's independence as a coach in his own right.

On the news Sheens denied the Holbrook rumour but did say the club is looking at Croft.

was told benji back flipped on schuster after agreeing with Scott to pursue - and with boards approval to pursue

It was locked up

Then benji back flipped bc sheens didn’t want him.

Caused massive grief with agent and hence why Fainus aren’t coming.

I still think fainu might be a chance only bc they haven’t signed anywhere but this was pretty emphatic to me…

Again don’t shoot messenger dude

That’s from the horses mouth

Believe what you want.

Just watching the 2 Fainus now and surely the clowns running our place can see they are both talented. I bet you we try and low ball them and miss out and that would be a massive shame.
IMO they should just get it done regardless as we have $$$ coming out our a#@ and no one that wants to come here.

Its all doom and gloom. But was there talk of any other players signing with us? Whatever if we do not get Fainu boys. They will want overs and havent proven anything

No offence, but it's sounds like a load of water cooler / gossip girl talk to me.

Because they're unaccountable. Each one needs to honestly ask themselves if they believe they would be re-elected if we as Members were entitled to vote.
