Sheens and Potters teams

[Goose]

I know hyperbole is the bread and butter of the Internet forum, but Sheens is no where near the fool some make out, he did win 4 premierships amongst a host of other achievements and he is some what responsible for our current success, our development systems are very successful and he helped create them.

ahhh yes he did when the game suited his style in the 90s…..

lets take a look at him as the wests tigers coach though 2003-2012

made the semis 3 times. all 3 of those times made the top 4 based on a winning streak right at the end of the year, 1 of those times happen to win us a comp.

the other 7 years it was between 9th and 14th place.

I can't believe no one has named Moltzen at fullback. yes I know his injured but he was Sheens future fullback for the next 10 years.

we have a right to bag him this guy had guys like Lolesi Fitzhenry Morris Wilson Fulton Farah all in the halves. he had a winger on the bench for 70 mins each game. he played 2nd rowers at prop. Galea and Harrison the greatest 2 props ever!!

To me he just grew stale. The game moved on and Tim didn't and the clubs performance reflected that.

Potter might not be half the coach of Sheens in the long run, but there is no doubt his fresh approach and changes have begun to have a positive effect.

1\. Moltzen
2\. Ryan
3\. Lawrence
4\. Ayshford
5\. Tuqiri
6\. Marshall
7\. Anasta
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Fulton
12\. Blair
13\. Heigno

14\. BMM
15\. Pettybourne
16\. Groat
17\. Meaney.

THAT would have been the team vs the eels. No bending the line. No straight and Hard.
This game would also see -

* Benji Marshall not finding touch on a penalty
* Meaney not getting a run.
* Groat getting 50+ Minutes stringing the kid out towards the end of the game.
* Heigno doing the soft shoe shuffle he's doing again at the Sharks.
* Blair in the wilderness making 8 tackles, 2 hitups and 15 metres a game
* Ayshford not giving a f**k.
* Moltzen letting bombs bounce.
* Beau Ryan would Try hard, but Semi RadRadra would have a field day against him.

The current Eels team in their current form would smash the team above by 40.

Someone mentioned Koroibete as a second rower

That could work , far easier defensively and he would be useful running at halves coming off the bench at 1000 miles an hour

Would be worth trialling in NSW Cup (seriously )

Not sure if you are being serious but I am all for it. In defence it is much easier to defend in the second row as you rarely make one on one tackles and it is easier to read the defence. He is a hard runner etc. Should be trialed.

180cm and 93kg is very small for a backrower. If we are going to trial a winger in the pack we should go for Big T.

Surely he can get to 100kg, its not about size when you have all this strength. The game is becoming more of a fast paced game rather than a big man game anyway!
