1\. How can people say that John Morris was played at halfback for three years when at the beginning of last season Marhsall was experimented in this position. Sheens, in my view, accepted he made a mistake re John Morris and trief to find alternative options.
2\. When has Sheens ever mentioned Benji's willingness to stay or leave should he be sacked? It was Benji himself who raised this issue. Surely Farah and Benji's high opinions of Sheens suggest he is doing something right?
3\. Gallant - the same player who was in such demand that he was purchased by the Cowboys to play back up.
4\. I am not a fan of Roycie's but I feel a coach is entitled to have the staffing he wants.
5.Ryan O'Hara (2006 - failed but at the time was Australian rep) , Keith Galloway (2006 - major success). Who would you have bought in 2007, 2008 and 2009 that we were in a position to buy? I realise this is a rational question and you're not too concerned about rationality but please have a try.
Lets have Lamb, Langmack and Pearce back I say. Get rid of Sheens now.
In all seriousness, I think the club should wait until mid-year as well but lets forget the hysterics. Sheens is a good coach and has done a great job in building this club from the doldrums (something people too easily forget). If you had told me in 2003 that by 2010 we would have a premiership and a competitive squad ready for another crack I would have been deliriously happy.
Whats wrong Southerntiger, have i hit a nerve with my criticism of your precious 'supercoach' Sheens. I mean how dare i question 'supercoach'..no one else does.
1.The fact remains John Morris was played in the halves…Tim Sheens is the person who picked him in the halves therefore 'supercoach' should be held accountable for Morris' failings over not 1, not 2 .......but wait for it..... 3 YEARS!
2\. Sheens made it public last year that nobody within the club wanted Benji because of his injury record. Sheens the saviour went on to say he was the only one who wanted Benji @ the tigers. Benji was subsequently angry with the club. Why make something like that public??? I mean the club is Tim Sheen's employer (or is it the other way around). If thats not holding the club to ransom and creating divisions i dont know what is.
3\. Yeah Gallant the same player who helped us win 6 on the trot when given a shot.
4\. Well said southerntiger, we'll stick with ol' Roycie and a thing called "i cant teach defense".
5\. I would have bought ***ANY*** 1st grade front rower instead of buying Peter Lewis and playing Danny Galea in the front row
I'd rather not have Lamb, Langmack and Pearce. How about we get someone better. How about we get someone who can get us to the finals mored than once in 8 years. As i said, stick to mediocrity southerntiger. You make a great couple
Phil no nerve here mate. I am happy to replace Sheens with a coach who will do a better job. Unfortunately, no one has yet identified such an available person.
Well we know you can count to 3 unfortunately not past it though. Sheens has been here for 7 seasons not 9 or 8\. This will be his 8th season in charge of the club. In his 3rd season we won a premiership. The reason I like Sheens is exactly because he is not mediocre. Like Chris Anderson, he coaches teams to win premierships and is not satisfied with simply making the finals like a Brian Smith.
You bring up Peter Lewis … geez you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. There is plenty of nuffies out there to support your case Jamal Lolesi, Sam Harris etc. Yet you bring up Lewis. No wonder Sheens is about to get a renewed contract if this is the quality of the people opposing him.
Wow congratulations you can count. Well done! Shame that counting isnt a sport @ the Winter Olympics, otherwise you would have topped the tally for gold medals.
The reality is Sheens has been here too long. He needs to move on. He's not a bad coach, but he's lost all objectivity. He has his favourites, and that blinds him to whats best for the team.
