Sheens interview on Talkinsport

[GNR4LIFE]

A quality coach.

Yep.

yep 2 finals appearences in almost 10 yrs,he's awesome
its amazing how Moltzen fans can complain about Moltzen not playing 7,then turn around and say how great Sheens is,as if not realizing Sheens is the man responsible for not playing Moltzen where you think he should be played
obvioulsy if your such an advocate for Moltzen at 7,Sheens must not be as great as you say he is if he refuzes to play him there

Who said I was an advocate of Moltzen at 7.

I also recognize Sheens at times doesn't in my opinion put the right team on the paddock however it is easier to be a forum critic than it is to coach a first grade team.

Sheens though typically comes across really well in the media, we don't get in the news for bad reasons and we did win the comp in 05.

**I wish we kept Moltzen, i like him, but keep them all**

Are you serious…???..I for one am glad to see Moltzen go...he will only ever be an average NRL player...he has talent...no doubt...but no ticker!....Good Luck to Moltz at the Dragons...

shame we cant do that to Forum members either, pack their bags and send them on their way… Rather then no ticker, more so they have no brains..

I dont think you are in a position to say someone has no ticker, especially at his age and coming back from a full knee reco. Two years ago he was the toast of the Tigerland, and set to be the player to watch and everyone wanted him at 7... now he comes back and only half way through the season, keyboard warriors like your self call for his head.. PMSL..

Tell me einstein, why were you not criticising benji for the periods where he was a poor defender and played with little confidence?

It gets me quite angry when people question an NRL players ticker, or call them soft and alike.

Anyone with no heart gets found out well before NRL level. Every bloke that plays in the NRL, has heart, and puts his body through all sorts of stuff.

Exactly! Some are definately tougher than others, but i don't believe any of them are soft. Of course it's easy to question players ticker from the comforts of your own home, but to play in the most physical sport in the world at the elite level certainly requires courage to go with the skill.

How did you know I have an IQ equivalent to Einstein?…By the way a noun begins with a capital.

who gives a toss u toss

In case you missed it last night, Sheens was on for a good 10min and the interview is summed up as follows:

- Good money was offered to Groate, Fifita and Woods from other clubs and the Tigers could only afford to keep 2 of them. Whether it was a good or bad decision will be known in the next year or 2 but he expects all 3 to have good futures
- The other players to leave have been offered upgraded contracts by other clubs and the salary cap is the primary reason the players are leaving
- He believes there is a good crop of juniors in the club and they need to be provided with a career path but unfortunately tough decisions have to be made on who to keep and let go
- The Tigers have made it a policy to introduce a quality player every year or so and Blair is a player the club targeted and is considered one of the best in his respective position
- Expects Blair to have the same impact as what Ellis and to some extent Tuqiri have had on the club
- Andrew Ryan's name was raised during a club meeting as he is a senior player who they targeted to replace Payten, which he believes is essential in a club particularly with the extent of juniors around
- Cross's name was also mentioned along with other players during the club meeting
- Was happy with the performance against the Cowboys and is hoping to build on the foundations of that game

Most of the remaining discussion has been repeated in other interviews but overall his demeanour was very composed and assured. A quality coach.

To be able to maintain control and the respect of the changeroom over such a prolonged period is the sign of a good coach. We are lucky to have him.

The only thing thats "quality"about Sheens is his "political" & "spin" skills,for which he has no peer..if he was employed by just about any other CEO in the comp who has any semblance of accountability for results ,he'd be long gone.
With the current playing personnel reshuffle he's bought himself yet another year or two escaping scrutiny of what he has(or hasnt)achieved…think he's here for life until someone awakens to his track record
Just a guy who got lucky inheriting a team of future champions in Canberra 20 odd years ago,& defied gravity in 05,& has traded on these two lightening strikes ever since
Based on results,hes in the the bottom quartile of current NRL coaches for mine-better coaches than Sheens have lost their jobs this season
..and to even contemplate the thought of buying washed up guys like Ryan &/or Cross looking for a final superannuation that even their current loyal employers wouldnt afford them is farcical...but u never know with Sheens(eg Cayless...Tupou..McKinnon as examples)

obvioulsy if your such an advocate for Moltzen at 7,Sheens must not be as great as you say he is if he refuzes to play him there

Lol stick to your American footy gnr4life.Seen as though you make a habit of picking on peoples grammar…..i find your post hilarious.

Hes in his 9th year this year and its far from over where in the mix.

Its only a few that say moltzen should be a 7 and of those... most probably dont support sheens.

So what your saying is that Sheens is a qaulity liaison person rather than a quality coach, because i cant find anyone who thinks coming across in the media well means your a quality coach.

speaking of poor grammar he's* and we're*
as for us being in the mix this yr,it doesn't exuse the fact this so-called 'supercoach' has failed to make the finals 6 times in his tenure here.A feat that would be un-heard of at any other club
seems as though you along with the rest of the Sheens' faithul are just as happy to accept mediocrity as much as Humpty and the rest of the board

 

[tiger05]

So what your saying is that Sheens is a qaulity liaison person rather than a quality coach, because i cant find anyone who thinks coming across in the media well means your a quality coach.

I'm saying that not acting like a moron in the media should be a key requirement for a first grade coach for the Wests Tigers.

And lets face it Sheens can probably coach a team better than anyone on this forum.

trying to turn this into a Wests v Balmain issue?
thats the only reason you stalk me like you do and disagree with everything i have to say,all coz we've had disagreements over the Wests vs Balmain issues,and if you deny it it then your a liar coz you know its the truth

 

[tiger4ever]

No actually you follow me and make your smarta.. comments …i was just giving you a bit back and you dont like it.

Its never been a balmain or west thing to me....its you and a few others that do a good job of that.

Dont you bloody dare call me a liar.

You love dishing it ....just cant take it.

Mr serious haha

Mr serious haha

this is the 3rd topic you have replied to me on and disagreed with me on, so don't try and make me out to be the 1 following you
i can take it but that doesn't mean i can't stand up and defend myself
i'm betting if we hadn't had so many disagreements on all the Wests vs Balmain topics i'd barely hear peep from you

I guess then that losing your cool & swearing in reply to journos, and criticising youre own teams fans to the media are good pre-requisites for coaching

 

[tiger4ever]

don't flatter yourself….

You would lose your money Ive been having disagreements with people on here since i been here 03 i think it was.We didn't have any disagreements because if i remember rightly you didn't add anything but follow the leader.You had nothing so it hasn't entered my mind.

Maybe next time somebody spells something wrong or does a typo you wont be such a hypocrite.

I'm sure we will have a lot more to....I just don't like your style.
