Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sheens hasn’t lost his ability to talk it up. Jason Taylor sounded like he had it all figured out before a ball was kicked for WT.

Time will tell if it translates on the field. I suppose this media talk is better than endless articles about Brooks saying “this is my team”.

The difference between the coaches is clear. Look up your footy history.

Isn't the song called It's my life?

Yes it is .. so the tatt .. “it’s is my life” .. technically .. “it’s” means .. it is .. so that tatt technically says .. “it is is my life” .. heh .. yep go back and your money back and a new tatt .. !! lol

Every year this dribble is rammed down our throat. Show us on the field.

Also a cop out from Sheens. He sacked 14 of Madge’s players , they were the problem.

Less talk more action.

We turn over a dozen players every year dont we?

It's all so strange IMO
IF he was staying the Eels would have been all over the media to boost the club and memberships etc. He is back at training as well but all very quiet..

Even our normal contacts on here are very quite so clubs are keeping in house.

Means nothing really as he still has a contract in play for current season should of been sighted before just now IMO

He also missed a couple of straight forward field goal attempts in a game earlier in the season.

Against Melbourne while Rowdy was denied a dead set penalty try.

Facebook rumour suggests we are considering Shaun Johnson. Anyone have some insight regarding this?

Haven't heard anything but his Mrs is a NZ netballer. They also have a young kid. I know that they both really struggled being seperated with Warriors not being allowed home. I don't imagine he would be looking to change teams now that they are back home.

🤮talk is cheap. Stick to training.

We've had positive player interviews for years now. They give lines like 'Fittest we have been', 'I have worked on my defence' ' I will take control of the team' ,'lead by example'. Bla bla bla. As you said talk is cheap. Stop talking about things and go out and do what your paid good money to do

One thing that is funny is Tigers would have made the finals under Jason Taylor in 2016 but Mitch Moses only kicked 2 from 5 in a one point loss to the Gold Coast at Campbelltown late in the season. He kicks one of those and we play finals. No other coach has got us that close for all the hatred

I used to hate some of his tactics to be honest.

Almost making the 8 is not an achievement

The way he used Tedesco annoyed me. The backline moves were so obvious and structured. Tedesco would get the ball from behind a lead runner while he was running diagonally towards the sideline. The centre and winger had about 5 metres to move. Tedesco wouldn't pass it and even if he did he was near the sideline. They repeated this game after game.

"Talk it up"? Yes, but also, I think Sheensy is talking it down...simplifying the process?
If there is something we needed to improve on its our desperation, desire and ability to score more points than our opponents.
It's a simple logic but it has been effective throughout history.
Don Bradman was asked why he scored so many runs?
He said why else would I pad up and carry a bat to the crease? (or words to that affect).
Mike Tyson was asked what's your secret? how come you win so many fights?
He said because I get in the ring to kill my opponent.
Willie Sutton, the USA notorious bank robber was asked why he robbed banks? He said "hell that's where the money is".
Its this simple logic which changed the way Doctors proceed with a medical diagnoses, they call it Sutton's law. Putting a priority on the most obvious.
Sheens is making sure that everyone is aware 100% of the time about the most obvious priority.

This is the part of the story i like :

"New recruit David Klemmer says he feels like a kid again, learning to play a brand of football many modern-day players are forced to forget in the top grade."

Suggests we are going with a much more open style of football. Will it work? Who knows? But i do know that i will enjoy watching our games a lot more than have over the past 3 years.

Taylor also had our last elite spine at their most mature. Ted, Robbie, Moses & Brooks. Maybe if he had picked addo carr over rankin on the wing, Moses wouldn't have had to land his kicks.

It's the Tigers everyone loved...
That we walked away from & have looked lost ever since.

Hopefully it pays off and we carve up this year.
💯💫🔥

Spent most of his time focussed on how to move Robbie on. Said that he stifled the play too much, and service was too slow Needed to get the ball to Brooks quicker - and plenty backed him. Seven seasons later.

“I promise you if we lose games, we won’t get beat,” Sheens says.

“People say, ‘Oh, what does that mean’? It means we will be having a go right until the end of the game.”

We'll be watching... Closely

 

[innsaneink]

Yes it is .. so the tatt .. “it’s is my life” .. technically .. “it’s” means .. it is .. so that tatt technically says .. “it is is my life” .. heh .. yep go back and your money back and a new tatt .. !! lol

Amazing that had to be explained 😏

 

[Kaito]

Kaito, I love how you buck the trend and post in portrait.

Haha yeah bro, I make it look easy
fitting in all the words. Seriously
though I had another phone that
made me write paragraphs like that
before and now I've got a sort of
compulsion to type like that in
paragraphs. If the sentences don't
line up it doesn't look right to me
and I have to rewrite it, it's crazy.
I do it with txt messages as well

Well I’m glad I could help you there, Ink .. 😉

Yes and we should, but more importantly we should be replacing them with better players.
