@clontarfkid said:Y**ep,I should have used the qualifier"recently successful" for NRL coaches too..I mean Daniel Anderson was successful too at some stage ,& Jason taylor,Niel Henry & mathew Elliot wld have been considered successful at different times,but all have blotted their copybook with subsequent & more recent coaching gigs.**
Unlike Brown & Gentles who are coming off success.
Im a little more acceptable of Folkes cf other 1st grade coaches as firstly,the Board can see 1st hand his current contribution to WT & coaching potential,& secondly he was simply burnt out at Dogs & I can account for his demise to an extent.

Folkes to take over immediately.

Has Elliot been punted ?
@willow said:If Sheens wants Moltzen as the Tigers long-term fullback well he may as well go to Penrith now and hand the reins over to Gentle.
@smeghead said:I feel for the next coach to come in.
As it is the **lunatics seem to run the asylum to a degree at WT**. Too many players too comfortable with too much say in the team.
I can see us having to use one coach for cannon fodder after Sheens leaves to cut the dead wood and poor attitudes that may occur when real pressure is applied

No, but Sheen's would be asked to sit out the season I reckon. It may explain why the boys were flat last week.
@Leroy The Tigers Fan said:Gee I sort of wish that Royce Simmons didn't prematurely leave to coach St Helens, by the way I would prefer the title of this thread to read 'Is It time for Sheens to go'!?.

Please be true,that would make my year,also Sheens took no blame for the Titans loss,and called the players
brain dead,his team selections severly hamper our chances of winning,yet he will never admit this.
@TigerDave81 said:Before I throw my 2 bobs in I want to state that sheens has done a great job building the club into what it is today, and needs to be comended. Developing the club with our juniors and from what it was in 02 to today was due to his experience and knowledge.
Having said that if he chose to go to the panthers i don't think it would be all that bad.
A few points I would like to bring up for discussion in regards to choices I feel he made wrong are (and this is purely my opinion only):
Letting Brett Hodgson go!! All the talk was we could not afford him at the time and he was to old, yet we've spent big on lote and gareth aswell as extended other players contracts since and hodgo has gone great guns in the uk and so has Pat Richards who we also let go. Losing their experience has been massive.
**Which brings me to my next point, experience. Since we lost hodgo, skando, oneil and Richards, we have not actively looked for an experience player to add to our roster.** I really feel that not having a veteran in the forwards or backs has proven to be why we haven't consistently made the 8\. And can not understand why Tim has not done better to add experience to such a young side. Someone like Petro, Dallas Johnson or Jeremy smith would do wonders for our young team. Instead signed players like Moores, Cayless, Daniella, Flanagan, Tupou.
And finally sheens bizarre team selections. I will never understand why sheens persisted with fitzhenry for so long, and more recently why he has played players out of position, and persisted with some and not others ie moltzen, who has been out of form but kept in the team, whilst dropped woods who was constantly our best in the early rounds!!
I think a change might just be the shake up and the catalyst this team needs. Folkes might go alright with his discipline or even getting Elliott would not be to bad. Either way I will still be 100% behind the tigers and really hope we fulfill our potential before it's to late.
