Seriously its time to get rid of that clown of a coach. HE is a disgrace.

His thoughts were echoed by Fulton, Brohman and Roach.
 
They did….they also said the ref was a joke and Ryan was taken out....so...
 
Yes, and while I agree with him/them this time, most people think these blokes speak jibberish so don't listen to a word they say. Me included.

True mate..but even jibberers are starting to realize how out of touch Sheens is. It's embarrassing
 
Yeah. It is unfortunately. When Payten was cleared why the hell would he drop Moors and keep Brown, but not give him any game time? It's beyond belief.
 
Yep,they speak "jibberish" a lot of the time,but me thinks this time theyve got it spot on!
The team , OUR team,never learns anything from its mistakes,& just keeps repeating them week after week,season after season..
With respect,the "coach" is an imposter…his spin & media presence shld be in Macquarie Street,not Leichardt or cammbelltown where his results are actually measurable.

They may speak jibberish during the early arvo but when the game starts they are on their game. I mean one is an immortal who has also coached at every level, two are rep standard players who have been involved in the game for decades and the fourth is a bloke who may waffle on but has still been calling the game for half his life.

They know what they're talking about. It's good to see that people are starting to wake up to him in the media.
 
I had a listen to them after the game, and they're 100% right. Chris did well to raise the question with them in the first place about why does Sheens only use 16 players each game. The bench selection and use of it is slowly killing the Tigers at the moment, and it doesn't get any easier against Souths in a fortnight who are also hurting after losing today. Their big pack will certainly test the Tigers.

Having said that, I still don't think Sheens will change his stance on the selection and use of the bench.
 
Within the same context, didn't someone also note tht Das Hasler does the same for Manly?

But I agree with Willow on both counts, Souths' pack will test us and Sheens will probably have his moment in the sun after Australia beats NZ to take the heat away from his role at the Tigers. It must slowly be one of the shakiest coaching position around after 5 years, one would think??
 
Don't agree with the bench at all, I think it is a joke.

But Sheens won't be going anywhere this season, and pretty unlikely he will go anywhere next season either. We need to rely on the players pulling their finger out…

Imagine that aye...players taking responsibility for playing poorly...

One should think,but Sheens is untouchable with the media. Another year slipping away and yet he avoids scrutiny. Any bet we will be linked to a big name player in the press this week to appease all the disgruntled fans….has the same smell to the past 4 years.
 
Yeah Tiger Heart, Hasler does the same thing and look at Manly….they get run down nearly every week because the boys are buggered.
Where did this new style of coaching come from? It's absolutely pathetic.
 
Good to see these muppets realising what some of us have been going on about for the past four years. Better late than never I suppose.
 
The good thing about hadley is when he has an opinion he seldom changes it and makes sure eveyone in the world knows about it.

Now we just need sheens to have a go at him then Hadley will death ride him and get his mates at the telegraph to do it aswell.

He learnt.

He used them all today, and guess what?

They hang on for a win
 
Unfortunately all this talk about us being favoured with the interchanges dropping from 12 to 10 has turned into bull.

I think with the interchange at 10, the coaches dont like to use the extra player, by not playing that extra player it allows the coaches to rotate their forwards on a more regular basis.

This would be my forward pack and bench:

8\. Galloway
9\. Farah
10\. Gibbs
11\. Heighno
12\. Ellis
13\. Fulton

14\. Payten
15\. Fifita
16\. Moors
17\. Flanagan

Hypothetically:
25th minute
Galloway, Gibbs and Heighno off
Payten, Fifita and Moors on
(3 interchanges)

1/2 time
Fifita, Moors and Ellis off
Galloway, Gibbs and Flanagan on
(3 interchanges = 6 in total)

55th minute:
Galloway and Gibbs off
Heighno and Ellis on
(2 interchanges = 8 in total)

65th minute:
Flanagan and Payten off
Galloway and Gibbs on
(2 interchanges = 10 in total)

That equates to:
Ellis = 65 minutes
Galloway = 55 minutes
Gibbs = 55 minutes
Heighno = 50 minutes
Payten= 40 minutes
Flanagan = 25 minutes
Fifita = 15 minutes
Moors = 15 minutes

Obviously that can be worked around but I think thats a pretty reasonable example of how the forwards can get rest by playing 2 front rowers and 2 backrowers.
