I agree,it makes good reading but at the end of the day its just peoples opinions and general speculation.My Uncle was involved in an official capacity at Wests & Balmain for over 10 years and very little 'facts' leaked out in those days,players personal problems/injuries and players that were coming or going was kept in house although the Alan Jones days at Balmain caused a few fractures.Although the joint venture has held together better than most expected there are still too many leaks & PO expressed for my liking.
Its probaly time but i'm extremely sorry to see Tim go,its been a hard slog for him at times but he kept at it and for the most part of his tenure did a great job.
Roll on 2013.

He is not going. He has a job " upstairs ".. They cant afford to pay him out, dont want him as Coach, so give him an office job and wait for him to walk.
Why is the MEGATHREAD shorter than the rival Sheens Quits thread? Shouldn't they be merged into a SUPER MEGA GIANT thread ASAP??
Can't be merged due to discussion bot. Technical glitch

**Sheens won't coach Tigers in 2013**
ABC Updated September 25, 2012, 4:27 pm
Wests Tigers have announced that Tim Sheens will not coach the side in 2013, after ten seasons at the helm of the NRL club.
Tigers chairman David Trodden announced the news as part of a restructure of the club on Tuesday afternoon.
Trodden said Sheens would be offered another role within the club but, with Sheens heavily linked with the head-coaching vacancy at the Warriors, it seems unlikely he would remain in Western Sydney.
"It's fair to say that Tim is disappointed he will not be coach of the Wests Tigers," Trodden said.
"(He) has made an enormous contribution to this club over the last ten years (and) is the most influential figure in the club's 13-year history."
Trodden also praised Sheens for the "dignified and professional manner" he had conducted himself in the last two weeks, amid intense speculation about his future.
The chairman said the Tigers were "hopeful for (Sheens) to continue with the club in some role", later referring to an unidentified "senior" role.
The club had created a sub-committee including four directors and the chief executive, Stephen Humphreys, to identify a replacement coach and make a recommendation to the board.
Sheens won the 2005 premiership with the Tigers but the team has failed to live up to expectations recently, failing to reach the grand final despite possessing a star-studded side in the last three seasons.
This season, after beginning the campaign as favourites, the Tigers failed to finish in the top eight.
Sheens' cause was not aided by unhappiness felt within the squad over long-term players Beau Ryan and Chris Heighington being released.
There you go, with quotes and all :slight_smile:
