So 3 from 9 seasons is acceptable? I would accept 5 from 9 as satisfactory. The success of the last two seasons can be attributed to the influence of Folkes. Aside from that, our style of play hasn't evolved with the successful teams in the comp. An ugly grind out style of play. Sheens continues...

That would be my lineup, but switch Fulton and Blair. Good team.

But given the previous occasions as you mentioned, isn't it up to Sheens to ensure that these low percentage plays are never executed in those scenarios? A good coach would give Benji a drilling. The last coach to do this was Kearney and Benji had a sook about it.

You'll find that a referring blunder won us that game. I'll ask you a question, what do other clubs do when there clubs are performing well below expectations and have been for some time? If it wasn't for Folkes in 10, 11, my guess would be we wouldn't have made the finals in either year. What...

How do you defend these stats? 1 finals appearance from 7 seasons before 2010 3 finals appearance from 9 seasons, more than likely 10 after the season we have had thus far. Tell me how a solid roster like the tigers, one of the best teams on paper, can be 1 from 5 this season after being...

When are the Wests Tigers board going to stand up and punt a coach who has only taken us to 3 finals appearances in 9 years? 1 from 7 before 2010\. I know the dogs, dragons, broncos, Penrith, Manly, Canberra…. in fact no other NRL club would not tolerate this garbage being dished up by our...

I don't want to make a character assassination of him because I love it when he is praised by the media, good promotion for the game and tigers. But he really is clearly too cocky and thinks he is much better than he is. It is a good thing to have confidence but another to be outright cocky. To...

I believe he reached his expiry date in 2009\. At that stage he was 1 finals appearance in 7 seasons. That was a fail. The 10, 11 successes appears to be down to Folkes. Throw everything to get him back at the club asap. We have seen so many clubs rotate coaches around frequently when they have...

As I said, Sheens would be the first change and the whole coaching structure and culture should inevitably change around the club. Next change is to decide on a HB and stick with them. Miller has the ability to fill this role but has never really been given a serious chance. I would also...

He did some good things and bad. I have always said that you can only ever have either Fulton or Heighnington on the team and only from the bench.

When we were up 16-4 with 5 minutes left and Andrew Moore on 2GB said that the game was done and dusted first win for the tigers since rd 1, I genuinely believed that we would lose. And when it was all unfolding I was not the least surprised. Deja vu, happened in 09 against Souths, it felt...

Normally I would be burning on the inside watching a poor performance like that. I would be hurting to say the least. But tonight I frankly didn't care, I wanted to see the tigers get dominated the way they did. I don't want to wish the worst on the team that I love but for the long term success...

Geez I think we are all getting a little ahead of ourselves! I've just worked a few different scenarios into the finals calculator and if we drop all three games and other results go against us (Knights and Souths winning) we drop out of the 8\. If we win one of the three than we are...

The same line is delivered at this time every year. It is not Farah's fault, it is the coaches ability to adapt

This. Where is the 'time to consider a new coach' thread There is pressure on Moore at the Dogs and Smith at the Roosters for underperforming teams despite the roosters making the GF last year - these clubs do not tolerate failure. This year Rick Stone has been shafted from the Knight and...
