💯

Technically 2005 and 2011 were failures

Good clubs can follow up on success

2005 was followed up by many years of failure

2010-2011 were followed up by many more failures

We have no-one to blame but ourselves

WOW
BOO F#€kn HOO

Well said.

Because unlike 2005 and 2011, we were favourites to win the title in 2012 and completely shat the bed, resulting in Sheens getting the punt after being extended the year previous.

What a stupid explanation.

Sounds just like our new coach.

Sheens is a student of the game and an innovator. His 2005 style of footy imo is readily adaptable to the game today. In addition, with Marshall, Farah and Funer he has three capable Lieutenants to implement the style of footy he wants to play. What I am pretty sure of is we won't see five hit-ups and the bomb which is Maguire's legacy.

And 4 of those hit ups were from the back 3...🙂

A little revisionist, 5 hit ups and a bomb started with Taylor and we couldn't shake it from there. Happy to see the back of it.
Madge tried to play his power game (like NZ), but he had powderpuff forwards who were never going to be able to pull it off, and couldn't offload to save their lives - it ended up being Taylorball all over again.
With Api leading the team around we finally have someone who can get us into good field position for the end of sets. Something we were woeful at for the last couple of years.

how about we try the new players first then reassess where the next buy should be. we may not need to buy anymore players. just need to upgrade the performing players

What a stupid explanation.

Well you asked what I would declare a pathetic question.
People are focusing on 2012 for extremely obvious reasons. Reasons you would know if you followed the sport longer than a couple of years.
I explained it clearly to you, without attacking your fundamental lack of knowledge.
Considering your ridiculous response, I am now stating that if you are too dumb or thick to understand it, maybe ask a grownup around you to help. It’s not that complicated.

Yes I agree that the ball will see a lot more air.
Without focus on defence though, his 2005 style won’t adapt as you expect it to.

 

[weststigerman]

Sheens has gone from a washed up retired coach to the coaching messiah on here.

All before coaching a game. Some feat.

I’ll wait until I see results on the field.

Furner and Farah's involvement suggests defence is a priority.

I don’t think we have the backline to thrust Sheens into walking on water territory?

You're a pathetic wannabe troll. Can't even do that properly. I asked why people were focussing on 2012 rather than 2005 or 2011. The correct answer would be because they are miserable losers who would prefer to focus on negatives rather than positives, similar to yourself. Do yourself a favour and give yourself another uppercut.

For what it’s worth , spoke my friend who plays 1st grade , can’t name him , he has the same manager as Nathan brown, he said he was pretty sure brown has signed with the tigers . I guess we will fine out in the next couple of days

You forgot to mention HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From The Australian paper, Rothfields comments below.


SHOOSH

● The relationship between one NRL chairman and his chief executive is at breaking point. Only one will survive the season.

● Huge pressure on the once invincible 2GB Continuous Call team in the ratings, with the ABC closing in on Saturdays and Triple M on Sundays. Trying to be funny doesn’t always work. Sometimes it can get stale. Listeners these days want to be informed. They want strong opinions and analysis.

● Drama at the Wests Tigers between Tim Sheens, Benji and Robbie.

● Everyone is talking about Anthony Griffin, Adam O’Brien and Justin Holbrook being under the pump. You can throw Kevvie Walters into that group as well. He needs to make the finals.

● Which huuuge-name NRL player will be offered an early release from his contract?

That's terrible news mate

Unless someone has been let go and this is an upgrade at the right price.
