Potter

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Cant have a coach who doesnt have the players respect.

No need for toxic or negativity in the club
I will personally sign a petition not to have him back.
JTs failures are playing tricks on peoples mind who are thinking Potter was any better.
He caused more harm, got Benji kicked out and upset a number of players

 

[stevetiger]

I think Robbie's salary is an issue. He isn't a game breaker now. He is just a defensive workhorse.

 

[larrycorowa]

Yes, its all Farah's fault….please.

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

on another note JT lost blair, thompson, fulton, austin who all played vital roles in the previous two years.

Potter "lost" Benji….

I was supporter of Potter, but Farah wasn't. Potter rightly let Benji go and Cherrington, with a reasonable first grade debut plus a few more pizzas and some time in the gym, is ready to play first grade and should allow Taylor to show Farah the door. Farah's departure is the final peice of complacency to be removed from the Sheens culture.

Dare I say, there was "chemistry" last night between Cherrington and Brooks. Brooks got the ball when he wanted it and that is why the attack looked better.

But back to coaching and the structure, I am a supporter of Taylor and how he wants us to play. I think we all need to look back at how the season has progressed. To me, it seems the turning point was the Canberra match at Leichhardt. Flowing attack scoring 4 or 5 tries following by pathetic defence that conceded 6 tries.

That was the watershed moment and I think that was when Taylor was able to illustrate to the squad that (unfortunately) you can't attack your way up the table unless you have sound defence. That match was when the squad really bought into the new structure. You can't be conceding any more than 3 tries per match and expect to win on a consistent basis.

Yep lets get rid of another player that we can't replace. While I have said that I thought that Cherrington went well last night , it was only one game, let's have another unproven small kid in the run on team, maybe he will make first grade team in time , but no , let's now start the hyping up of another kid from the lower grades.
For Gods sake The halves experiment should have shown up the problems with the way we throw kids into the top grade, give Cherrington the time to come off the bench for a while for a while and see if he can handle first grade, on a longer term basis
Oh and yes there s going to have to be a hell of an improvement in someone's defence to make up for Farahs defence of up to 35 or more tackles, and we all saw how much our defence has improved last night , didn't we??
And as for attack if you meant to say That Brooks had a good game in attack , well we were watching a different game

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I never asked for him to be sacked.

Taylor is our coach now, all those who wanted change, you've made your bed you can lie in it.

Maybe the guy who wanted Potter sacked should be the one leaving.

You'd have to sack two thirds of the team then.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

How good was he compared to what we have now.

I wouldn't say Potter was any better, just crook in a different way, he hardly filled anyone with confidence, and always looked like he didn't know what to say.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I know he was not out there last night and I know he is a stalwart but I can't help but feel like Farah is the centre of our problems.

Huge salary
Hard to please
Hugely influential
Difficult to coach
Conditioned to being a loser
Only seems to care about Origin

We need to look at life after Farah for the same reason the Sharks need rid of Gallen and the Panthers got rid of Lewis and Jennings. It's not because of skill it's because of mentality and influence.

I don't believe that Farah has the winning mentality to lead a team of prodigious young talents. We need leaders who know how to win and are used to winning. Powerful and influential winners not powerful and influential losers.

He is the constant here. Cherrington and Liddle can handle hooker, we need to sign influential winners from high performing clubs just to get winning culture into the club. They don't even need to be superstars, just players used to winning.

Either that or he needs a lot of influence himself and a gun sports psychologist.

Must be Ground hog day , or maybe just Deja Vu
The Coach is a total loss, half our players are either too young, too hopeless or just don't care. Let me think…..I've got it ......must be Farahs fault....
Problem Solved

Yes, Brooks and Moses worked together the best I have seen them work all season. They actually worked as a combination last night and with Cherrington, they looked good. It was a combination that was born in the under 20's.

Agree re Cherrington, let him play off the bench and ease into first grade…..similar to how Farah came into first grade. We don't need to sack Farah now, but this is his last contract with the club.

Dare I say it, Marshall, Farah, Fulton, Gibbs, Laffranchi were all "hyped up" kids in 2004, barely 2 years out of school or SG Ball.

There was supposed to be "chemistry " between Brooks and Moses, but I think the cake went flat

No it hasn't gone flat - it hasn't been put into the NRL oven yet.

Sheens sitting in his armchair in his velvet robe and valour slippers smoking his pipe …reminiscing on glory days ain't getting any love

So you think of we asked nicely he would come back...?

Yes it has, in Brooks's case on more than 30 times for very little joy, and for Moses more than 15 for even less joy.
Even JT will start to look at sacking the chef if the cake remains inedible for much longer,

Dare I say it, Marshall, Farah, Fulton, Gibbs, Laffranchi were all "hyped up" kids in 2004, barely 2 years out of school or SG Ball.

The only one who was under a lot of high expectations at that time was Marshall and he was rocks and diamonds in his first year, the big difference was that his diamonds were bloody big ones and he had both.
These kids have had very few diamonds at all.

 

[Eddie]

I know he was not out there last night and I know he is a stalwart but I can't help but feel like Farah is the centre of our problems.

Huge salary
Hard to please
Hugely influential
Difficult to coach
Conditioned to being a loser
Only seems to care about Origin

We need to look at life after Farah for the same reason the Sharks need rid of Gallen and the Panthers got rid of Lewis and Jennings. It's not because of skill it's because of mentality and influence.

I don't believe that Farah has the winning mentality to lead a team of prodigious young talents. We need leaders who know how to win and are used to winning. Powerful and influential winners not powerful and influential losers.

He is the constant here. Cherrington and Liddle can handle hooker, we need to sign influential winners from high performing clubs just to get winning culture into the club. They don't even need to be superstars, just players used to winning.

Either that or he needs a lot of influence himself and a gun sports psychologist.

Have seen some drivel in the past but that post would be in the grand final.

The bloke has won a Premiership, an Origin series and played for Australia so he is not a complete loser.

We need more players like Farah, that are quality first graders that compete for 80 minutes.

You could argue he is on too much money, but then for the quality of performances he has given this club he just about earn it.

 

[MacDougall]

I know it seems strange, but I stand by it. He's the centre of the cultural influence of the club and he's used to losing. He's a negative influence on the club at this point and he's not that good a player anymore tbh.

 

[supercoach]

I wonder what they talk about on forums where clubs win all the time?????

He wouldnt deal at all well with the suggestion that he's past it. Such is the ego of the man.
