Tigers legend Tim Brasher frustrated with coaching circus after Cleary’s Panthers move
AAP OCTOBER 31, 2018 9:33AM
TIGERS legend Tim Brasher has hit out at the coaching merry-go-round, that has seen a number of coaches including Ivan Cleary change clubs this off-season.
DISGUSTED by the NRL coaching merry-go-round, Balmain great Tim Brasher has still backed new Wests Tigers mentor Michael Maguire to spark the joint venture - if he sticks around.
Brasher slammed NRL coaches for changing teams “like they change their undies” but hoped Maguire was committed to seeing out his three-year Tigers deal and making a difference as Ivan Cleary’s replacement.
Cleary has earned the ire of Tigers fans after seeking a release from the final two years of his deal at the joint venture to reunite with Penrith in 2019 on a five-season contract.
The move came amid an extraordinary period of coaching changes, with New Zealand mentor Maguire snared by the Tigers, Brisbane’s Wayne Bennett linking with South Sydney from 2020 in a swap with the Rabbitohs’ Anthony Seibold and Des Hasler returning to Manly.
Brasher tipped big things for the Tigers under Maguire but hoped the South Sydney premiership-winning mentor was determined to hang around and inspire the joint venture after the Cleary debacle.
“As long as he wants to be there, that is the main thing,” Brasher told AAP when asked about Maguire.
“The bottom line is if you don’t want to be there, if you are not happy, then it’s no good for anyone.
“But if you are passionate about the place and want to stay and make a difference then you can do just that.” Brasher hit out at Cleary’s move after Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe called for the NRL to curb coach poaching.
Pascoe wanted to adopt a system where coaches can only be approached by rivals when off contract, just like players, after admitting the Tigers felt betrayed by Cleary’s departure.
The topic is expected to be discussed at the NRL CEOs meeting next month.
“These days they change teams like they change their undies even if they have a contract for another few years,” Brasher said of NRL coaches.
“I don’t agree with it. I believe if you sign a contract, you honour that contract and do your best when you are there.
“I don’t like the state of play at the moment.
“What does it teach the kids? To be able to get out of a contract is disgusting.”

Another blowhard masquerading as a WT’s legend.

That's a low blow
He loves the club like ex Balmain and wests fans do
He doesn't chase the headlines like Elias and Roach
I'm guessing the press chased him and he just gave his opinion
Just because he is ex Balmain doesn't mean he doesn't care about WT and is chasing the spotlight

That's true. Briefly spoke to him at the 05 grand final, he's one of us.
One of the reasons coaches change clubs like undies is because they generally get sacked.

That's pretty ordinary even for you GNR. I believe Brasher played lower grade for the Magpies as well.

Looks like i’ve upset a few. Sorry, tired of hearing from players who never put on the WT’s jersey. We had one article yesterday hearing from Skando and Richards after hearing from Elias for the upteemth time a day before. Now we’ve gone backwards again.

Wests. But i’d equally have zero interest in hearing anything Tommy dribbles out these days.

Understand what you are saying but i think it's the likes of Elias that's spoiling it for everyone else
We are a merged club and i know that means we are a new club but old players from the 2 merged club's still care
It's just that the likes of Elias spoil it for the rest
Brasher doesn't deserve to be tarred with the same brush
We have fans from both ex club's sharing opinions of their thoughts on our club
Why can't respected ex players have a say
We can still bag Elias
He deserves it

Brasher is a deadset legend. One of my favourite ever players!

So you were a Wests supporter and now you're a WT supporter commenting on Wests Tigers. What is so wrong with a past Balmain player (presumably now a WT supporter) commenting on Wests Tigers? I don't have a problem with it. The more positive public support we get the better as far as I'm concerned.

Why cant the former players have the same level of support as us fans. Hypocritical for us to still be supporting the club but expect the former player to just drop off.
