It's turning into a real nail-biter.

This was my favourite part of the article.

This is what happens when pascoe and Lee strategy keep changing

First, let stop hiring coaches without WT DNA

Second, we want a recruiter to get the best players in Western Sydney.

I get strategies can be fluid but in this scenario you can't have both. So what happens next?

Also, operationally the contracts offered to tim and benji does not fit with both strategies.

The money spent on payouts could of been spent on kids, so they truly screwed themselves.

Would be cheaper for fulton to go, but it will send recruitment back.

A decision made by Wests Tigers management shouldn’t be used in an argument to prove a point.

Sheens Got us to within a field goal of a grand final in 2010 too and hasn’t coached all that much since. His record speaks for itself.

I was there in 2012 and letting him go was one of the few correct decisions this club has made.

In any case his coaching record ain't that flash imo.

How I see it playing out

1) Sheens gone as head coach > offered old role but sooks and walks

2) Benji head coach in 2024
- clipped wings in regards to recruitment
- Assistant capable of taking over employed

The fact that Fulton employed is admission that the Sheens 2nd coming has failed. 5 year plan dead after 6 months.

I then see benji being punted at the end of 2024.

If the board wants to protect themselves, they'll have to punt Pascoe to save face.

Interesting time ahead.
 
Listened to a grab of a show with Joel Caine on it from yesterday he talked about the Benji and Sheens stuff. One thing stood out from what he said which was why didn’t we appoint Sheens as head coach and employ Benji as his assistant no promises just learn and take it from there. If he’s good enough he can coach if he isn’t someone else steps in no issues. It’s really common sense stuff, imo if that was discussed Benji would have knocked it back because of his media gig.
Look at all the other assistants doing their time, Ryles,Hornby,Young what makes Benji the messiah that he just walks in no experience and everyone just falls in-line, I think the concerns from the player managers with youngsters on their books have valid concerns when you look at it like that.
Benji could be a good coach in time but he doesn’t have any runs on the board to be throwing his weight around. The club thought he would be a player magnet maybe it’s having the opposite affect.
 
The recruitment and retention committee have decided that Sezer is they direction the club is heading in.

When reviewing all available options it was decided that he was the best option. Apparently the Lebanese background meant it was more likely he had the biggest family support system, and would likely result in the most hats and scarves.

There's a piece of me that wants Pascoe and Lee to continue just to see what they get up to next. It's fascinating viewing..

How?
He is not working with the footy department.
Just running out and signing any good player who will talk to you is not what the procurement process for recruitment is all about.
The coach will end up with a hodgepodge of players filling out a squad that cannot be blended into a team.

I think something along those lines is very plausible, Sheens has been sooking since MCDonell left.
You reckon they are lining up Holbrook to step in?
Pascoe has to go if even half of that comes into fruition, he should have been dumped after the Farah stuff imo.

If that all happens, this club will either fold or be told to relocate.
