Further to my last post, this is why we are a joke.

A coach we sacked in 2012 and took us to court because he thought we were underhanded in trying to change his role has been elevated to director of football while we had a GM of football and has effectively had no issue with pushing that guy at first out of his role, and then ultimately out of the club with nepotistic appointments.

Said bloke is going to have a guy on his football staff that was also pushed out of the club only to return 18 months later.

Absolute shambles as an organisation.

Hey ! Is that you Hooper!

No, I have hair and integrity.

He is partly responsible for the break downs in signings of the bigger names who were on the verge of coming. He apparently is hard to contact for someone involved in recruitment & is hard to fathom.

At one point in a meeting, Sheens turned to GM Adam Hartigan and screamed, "You (bleeping) need Stefano. You can't win without Laurie." Sheens left boardmembers and coaches largely speechless. He dominated the recruitment in every way. Tim's back. !!

I'm Calling it now, Sheenius will be in contention for the best front office signing of 2022. Being back in TIGER TOWN will see him fire up and work endlessly for big money. Oh, and his signing efficiency was better than the existing GM Hartigan, so this appointment was already an improvement at his current level.

Again.. Who are these people...

http://www.unaprcm.org/news/nrl/comments/q8dcpx/wests_tigers_have_just_parted_ways_with_gm_adam/

He 'turned to' Hartigan in a meeting and screamed at him? Via video-link?

:thinking_face:

Sounds like bollocks to me.

Hartigan must have been on the laptop behind Sheens.,

Im picturing Sheens in a massive chair, with a white cat on his lap.

and a mini me ....

As much as our cap blew out under Sheens, I don't hold him solely accountable. His job is to identify and retain talent, front office is responsible for keeping it financially in check.

Apparently not anymore. He has full control over the football department.

Sheenius move.

At least he doesn't have any outside backs to convert to forwards.




Except Noffa!!

Hopefully he converts Nofoaluma into a Parra player.

A big possibility, with us paying 200k towards it

I'm being completely serious ...can someone from the NRL give the WT's 3 years to stop this crap or the WT's are gone

This club is beyond embarassing .....

How about you just go and let the rest of us get on with it?

How about you sit on my face and rotate ....

Are you sure you got this saying correct?

King of the Forum can do what he wants .......I am so sick of fools who back this club still and can't accept this clubs screws up virtually every call it makes ........

Can't deal with it ....Too hard basket .....lala land .....

Only call they have got right was sticking by Madge ...now they just need to sack about 23 players ...but we can't do that ...it might upset some of the alleged 400 k fans we have lol .....

Is that directed at me? I can't tell, a whole series of posts were deleted. Something about you wanting me to sit on your face?

But specifically to your non-deleted comments - you seem to mis-equate backing of the club with acceptance of mistakes. Of course the club makes mistakes, loads of them.. arguably we make more mistakes than we get things right. Specifically to Adam Hartigan, I think its WAY too early to call it a mistake or not. You think that sticking by Madge is not a mistake, and I agree with you, but a lot of folks don't. Doesn't make anyone correct or happy with the overall direction of the club.

My first comment was actually in relation to your absurd suggestion that NRL give Tigers some kind of time limit to turn things around, or be cut / moved.
>can someone from the NRL give the WT’s 3 years to stop this crap or the WT’s are gone

That stuff is nonsense, sorry, a truly Kevorkian response.

Bit like letting Hartigan go after doing a review three weeks ago and accepting his work .....

So with the entire backing Sheens process an admission we screwed up by originally sacking him ....or he has found something new while buried in England coaching and directing some ho hum English sides that have done little ...

Ivan did alright going back to Penrith didn't he?

He did ...but that was always going to happen

But that's my biggest conspiracy theory .....I still reckon that Iv didn't want to be coaching Nate while he was still an unproven player so he couldn't be accused of playing favourites and destroying the playing group mentality .....he left when he was about to come into grade and came back whe he was a proven 1st grade ...coincidence many will say yes .....for me ....nuh ....and getting in the good graces of the refs ......knew when push came to shove the WT's .....Errol Stewarts "the bunch of softies "

Think Hartigans number was up the day Sheens was appointed to supposedly head up "pathways"
Too many chiefs
Hartigans legacy will be mixed...he demonstrated restraint and accountability in cap management,pulled some good young players from other clubs,but lost our best 2 forwards in consecutive seasons and couldnt snare Mitchell,JAC/TPJ and Finucane
He also ltraded out a dual premiership centre ..
But suspect enticing quality players in their prime to play under incumbent coach would have been a formidable task to say the least

It's a myth that players don't want to play for Madge. Just like the salary cap is a myth. Players play for money. That's why the Roosters get whoever they want, because uncle Nick pays them to. It's no coincidence that the Dogs get themselves a nice new benefactor in one of Austrlia's biggest hoteliers and all of a sudden players are falling over themselves to play for the wooden spooners, coached by a mug. It was no coincidence that the Sharks signed their maiden premiership team once their new development started selling off the plan and, what a surprise, half the first grade side ended up owning a new home unit. There's always a stench of cap rorting around the top teams because that's how you get to be a top team. What WT need is a new sugar daddy because old Harry isn't pitching in enough.
 
This thread has been an incredible roller-coaster ride of emotions.

Surprise, suspense, sadness, joy, frustration, anger and recent plot twists like the sudden sacking of the lead character.

And who could forget the wonderfully unexpected offer of anilingus yesterday evening.

Never let it be said that the Wests Tigers Forum is a forum lacking acceptance and empathy. A broad church to be sure.

*One for the ages, highly recommended reading. **4 stars.***
 
Shocked at the number of comments this gathered.

Honestly most of us dont know what goes on in the inner sanctum - Hartigan has what seems to be myth around him, but at the end of the day he's failed recruiting the superstar player. Anyone can recruit a young player looking for a chance anywhere.

Our recruitment of senior players to supplement the club until the juniors who look strong are ready has been horrible. The GM of Football has been sacked and the coach is on thin ice with new assistants being hired.

I think one thing is clear that they are taking action. Sheens major strength is getting out pathways in order however, his connections around the league will pay dividends with player signings. Paying overs for shorter term deals for experience is probably a necessity at the moment.

I just hopw Sheens remembers what he did signing Adam Blair, he ripped the heart and soul out of the team for zero return.

Might need a defibrillator for this mob.
