Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yea, ah... That's actually a decent record.
Sure it was twice with Canberra, no wait it was 3 times. (89, 90 and 94).
Seriously though its pretty irrelivent, Ok Tim Sheens can win if Laurie Daily, Mal Maninga + Lazarus and a bunch of other superstars are in your squad.

You watch those early games and you see a fullback fumble the ball regularly. Its very different football.

Origin shows the Generation gap between Fitler and Slater. With Sheens we see a massive generation gap on a good coach. Hopefully Benji can get what is going wrong here but we need John Morris or similar to up the training level.

You've just suggested Sheens is not a good coach. What makes a good coach? I'd suggest being a very good player manager, a strategist and being able to impart knowledge to players. Sheens more than ticks the boxes in these areas. What you're suggesting is ageist based. I am not willing to comment on this issue but what I do know Bula is just another fullback in a long line of very good fullbacks to emerge under Sheens. I posted Sheens' comments on Bula during pre-season and he was 100% correct. Is this coincidence?

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..

Yep.
Mack & Meyer-for hire.

Until this random comment was laid out- there's been no indication either player is unhappy. That smells like someone driving that story regarding Stef's contract a couple more days.

Who manages Justin Holbrook?

You and I could have probably seen Bula’s talent and promoted him into NRL with the rabble ahead of him at the time…

Can Sheens find another 4 or 5 like him… and we need them now…

That is not true. I could not. Sheens made a comment about Bula coming from nowhere to be success at fullback.

Bring back Brooks, Staines and Nofolauma and the side immediately is much stronger in the backs.

would a good coach pick AJ Kepoa every week on the wing to leak 3-4 tries a game?

well I could have …and in hindsight he should have had in the team from Week 1

If there was no one else to pick due to injury. We have Staines and Nofoaluma perhaps back this game. Kepaoa played really good football at 2nd row and I'm sure he will return in competition with others for a position. If I recall he was switched to 2nd row by the coaching team.

We're low on options sadly 😢

I seriously don’t know how you could defend this decision… the guy is one of the worst players I have ever seen in a WT jersey …which is saying a lot as I have been watching them for 24 years and seen the likes of Nick Graham

anyone would be more preferable on the wing than him and week after week we are his lack of desire and talent on full display

He wasn't in the top 30 at the time.

There was few (if any) options available.

Was Naden ?

or Laurie?

you don’t think Naden would be a better option?

He played NSW cup

He was injured in the first few minutes of the game.

Don’t deflect Mrs Sheens …

That has nothing to do with your husband picking AJ every week

This club is like a car that's on its last legs.

Were telling people that we will wash it next season and it will be awsome. NO one wants to buy it.
