Sheens replacing Madge

[TigerWest]

I repeat, have we all forgotten why he was punted?

I do think he would be good in pathways spotting talent, but he is 70 and has been out of the game here for far to long, to be telling Hartigan and Madge how to suck eggs?

In his last year as coach we came 10th, which was a really disappointing. In 2010 and 2011 we finished Top 4. Sheens was always an innovator and the new rules suit his style down to the ground.

I like Hartigan and think he should be retained at all costs. I hope he, Sheens and whoever we sign to be coach next year can work well together.

It will be Madge, he still has 2 yrs to go.

There is no chance in the world he'll be here in 2 years. If the board hadn't been stupid and extended him last year he'd be gone already. He's only still here so they can save face.

Is that what they told you?

No, but I watch the games as they do, and only the most rusted on Madge supporter would think he's doing a good job. He's a wish.com version of Jason Taylor.

But you think the players are performing at NRL standard when they get out on the field?

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Sheens as head coach is completely insane he can't even get a gig in ESL.There is a very good reason he was shown the door 10 years ago.

Dont disrespect one the most successful coaches and surely not who delivered our one and only premiership
The relationship between him and the club was getting stale
AND the team selections from Sheens was making us fans pull our hair out but at least we could still score points

Absolutely not, I think they're playing horribly, well below what they're capable of. But I think much of it is because of his coaching. I think his structures do not work in the modern game and he is unable to adapt. His use of the interchange is robotic and doesn't move with the flow of the game. And his selections are baffling.

It's fine to blame the players, but 28 of the 30 players were signed or re-signed by him. This is his team now. His style is completely obsolete and we're seeing it every week.

The "2019" shot is 2010 when he was at Wigan, the Wigan logo is in the background....but cool story.


I didn't make it chief.
It's doing the rounds.

It's a meme.
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good....meme.


Ok....brah

Funny stuff making up rubbish

Mate, learn to read and go pester some one else.

I said, I didn't make it.
Most of the rugby league meme, roast, etc pages are posting it.

Take it up with them.
Or just... yaknow... get a sense of humour.

You have posted it in multiple threads here.

Yes, Cochise and some one else did too.
It's a meme. Doesn't break any rules.
Might be factually incorrect but it's purpose is to be funny.
You don't think it's funny?
Don't laugh.

There is nothing wrong with a little bit of comedy
What else have we got
We can't celebrate and laugh with joy after our latest loss
In fact there really hasn't been much to smile about for ten years when it comes to the Tigers
A meme is ment to be funny
Funny to some but not to others
If and when the Tigers ever turn this teams fortunes around, then these memes will be a distant memory

If our players have and pride and any balls, then they will turn the season around starting now
I'm not sure what $ we have but I think our defence is most important now
Starch
Finucane and Pangai
Go hard for both of them
We need to sting hard and someone like Finucane can leed by example
Pangai would also help with his stinging hits
Also what's going on with Musgrove
Is he injured or just not good enough
Our club needs to keep us supporters informed with what is going on
We are very poor in this area
I think players like Bj, Roberts, Talau, Tamou, LJ, Garner, Nofoaluma, Mbye, Aj and even Brooks should be shown the door
I know controversial for some of these players but they have been poisoned by our lack of success over the years
We need a serious clean out
It may hurt but it must be done

Go for a Shaun Johnson in the halves to partner Hastings
Both Finucane and Pangai in the back row
And a strong centre and winger
I'm also not convinced on Laurie at the back
I see him in the halves in the future
So look for another fullback now
With Canberra shifting their fullback to the centres why not do a trade with Brooks for CNK

I am over the excuses for our players
Time to move on the tried and tested
No more Mr nice guys
We need to be ruthless in getting what we need
Even if that means offloading fan favourites

Another great post @Cairnstigers.
You obviously understand comedy as you are one of the best humor and common sense posters on here and I thank you for that :+1:
I had a laugh at the Madge meme when it was 1st on here.
But repeating it over and over in what seems like perpetuity just becomes boring and silly.

 

[dazza65]

I think we all need to wait and see before we all pop off

A lot of people are saying we need a Gould or Bellamy to sort the shite out - well since we are buckleys of getting ether of them, Sheen's is the next best IMHO - he has played or coached at the elite level close to a thousand games (including UK) with a win % of 51%.
I think he knows a little more than us Forumer's and probably has forgotten more about RL than most current players and coaches.

Great initiative to get him back into the fold and as with any signing, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating - not before its even in the oven.

This is coming from a 74 yo, and let me tell you there is nothing wrong with being 70+, as 70+ is what 50ish was a few years ago.
With the improvements in Viagra :blush: and psychiatric care I reckon I'll still be rockin n' boppin :man_dancing: :upside_down_face: till I'm 80+.
Have a great day mate and 'stay' positive re Wests Tigers.

I have to agree. Too many of the squad are not winners. We need that streak of ruthlessness that Storm, Roosters etc have in keeping a player only until a better one comes along. We will have to loose some forum favourites but we have to approach each position and the player/s that can play there with an open mind and ask that question every season is there someone available and better to do it.

I am younger than the mountains but older than the trees? I don’t take viagra, but I hope you keep boppin for many years to come.

Just don’t become a FG NRL coach now, enjoy your older years, you deserve it.

 

[tig_prmz]

I've seen a few people mention this in other threads. That we should sack Madge and replace him for the year with Sheens as Tim is coming on board in an advisor role
**Surely this would have to be the ultimate humiliation for the club and board.** Going back to the guy we blamed for missing the 8 in 2012, were so desperate to remove, it ended up in court as we couldn't afford to pay him out. Yet here we are now employing him in advisor role, we need him to turn the club around?
If Sheens ended up in the head job, like some are suggesting it would be confirmation the last 10 years was the biggest waste of time.

There is literally no one left within the organisation that was here when Sheens was.

No, but I watch the games as they do, and only the most rusted on Madge supporter would think he's doing a good job. He's a wish.com version of Jason Taylor.

Yes ..
They are playing to the best of there abilities .
Recruited by Madge .

Mute point, but they are signed by Hartigan, with certainly a ✅ off by Madge.

They have played well in a few games this year, so I disagree they are playing to there abilities. Many are just bludging imo.

 

[CarltonDry]

Sheens coming back to the club in an advisor role is a positive move but surely we aren’t stupid enough to put him in as head coach. As you said it just means we’ve been running on a treadmill for 10 years

We were stupid enough to extend Maguire ?‍♂️

So when do we make the players accountable for going out onto the field and producing the rubbish they presented?

He signed this pack of turnstiles ?‍♂️
