Is that in a report I can read Paws? 👍

Part of Sheens' comments yesterday which someone published on the forum mate.

I'm not sure what you want them to do. Make an announcement that we're NOT toxic? I doubt that will help. If you want it done behind closed doors, how do you know that haven't already?

Good point you make ,If they do accept and recognise the problem then great its just I read so many comments about all sorts of topics which don't mention the central problem . However if Tim and co are using this as a starting point good . Recruitment of some top tier players won't happen till this is fixed . So if you are right I'll happily sit back and wait till Oct Nov where I expect Tim to announce significant changes

Part of Sheens' comments yesterday which someone published on the forum mate.

I read the report on Tims statement which said
-the roosters loss was like a punch in the face
- we must stay the course
- we have some very exciting juniors coming thru
- the player loans will have them come back as much better footballers

This is all I've read on the Sheens statement if their is more would love to read it

It almost feels like we won't be any closer to achieving a level of success next year and beyond, than the incoming Dolphins. Says alot about how we have been managed and the state of the NRL.

What is this thing lots of you members have about Tim Sheens Age, He is 71, Wayne Bennett is 72, does this make them stupid, after all they dont have to play the game, they only need to know how its played, and these guys know the ins and outs of the game as they both played it in there younger days, if they gave you the job how do you think you would handle it,
And how old are you.

Agreed Spicey!

NRL360 last night said tigers need to build from scratch like the dolphins
Kent then said but the Dolphins don't have a stench
Anasta then said yes the tigers need to get rid of that stench

It's just media dribble. Who here is on the coaching staff or one of the players ?

Facts matter. BS opinions are BS.

Plus it's a complete new team next year.

It just keeps getting worse

 

[851]

Is he older than Timmy?

No he isn't

 

[Demps]

I'd HARD pass on Fifita.
He's cooked.

 

[851]

Yep, I don't think Noffa or GIldart are in next years plans. And going by what he said looks we will be waiting till November for any external signings. So along couple of months ahead before anything to get excited about.

Nofa is clearly better than any wingers we currently have, Naden is a centre and should play there

 

[Stevec]

Fifita Woods please no more guys close to the end of their careers we've signed guys like this in the past and all were dud signings .We are not a semi retirement home

Like we have options

 

[Dennisspicer1]

No he isn't

Are you talking about Tim 71 And Bennett 72.

 

[Demps]

Like we have options

Remember the last aging injury prone props we signed and how that worked out for us ?

Packer and Matulino?

No thanks to Fifita.

 

[Hmm]

To be fair to Fifita he was very good on the weekend and if he wants a year for the right price we could do worse than have a player like him coming off the bench.

Better than Dias and Simpkins

You are missing or deliberately avoiding one of the main issues that i raised,it is not just the fact he is 71 it is the fact he has not coached in the NRL for a DECADE.
No club wanted Sheens when we sacked him as a coach and after he coached in the UK and was sacked there on 2 occasions nobody wanted him there either.
For the record since you asked i am 69 years of age and have followed football since unlimited tackle back in the dragon's era of 11 consecutive premierships what about you?
