Again sacked the coach because;
A poor performance.
B to get Ciraldo as he said he would come if Fadge was gone.
If u can’t see that Fadge was going nowhere, then there’s no help for you.

Besides the point. There is a time and place for those decisions. You DO NOT sack your coach mid season unless you have his replacement delivered.

All his decisions, so why do you think he wont need to take responsibly of the results?

A deadline is only going to be negative. No reason for it. There's nothing stopping us talk to others. If we have a plan B ready to sign, then yes, you could add a deadline. But otherwise, it only get someone's back up.

Proof will be in the pudding with Sheens. He gets us top 8 either this year or next, the spoon in 22 will be seen as worth it. He doesn’t, it won’t.
Important to remember large reason we did so poorly was loaning out players to front load contracts and increase cap for this year and next. Was always going to be a bad 2022 but was an attempt to fast track a rebuild. We now get to see if it has worked.

Well how long do you give him to?????
Why not let him stay at Parra and go hard for RTS to play fullback and buy Jesse Ramien???
Would be great to have Moses but we are losing time.

How are we losing? Talking to Mitch doesn't stop discussions with the other two. Wiping out an option makes our position weaker, not stronger.
Yea, those games were wonderful to watch.
Poor defence, team not really trying and getting walked on.
Attack slow and sloppy.
The worst bit, it was Groundhog day. Other then Hastings occasionally helping us to a 1-2 point win and yes some horrible decisions not going our way, 2022 was a total failure.
Ill fault Sheens in punting McGuire in May. He should have brought a replacement in sooner or much later. I have zero problem letting Madge wait it out while a replacement is lined up. Let McGuire chew his losses, not let Kimmorley take his fall.
Otherwise, McGuire was going to be doing the same thing week in week out. I apologise to the forum that I did not realise this in 2021!
With Sheens and Benji at the helm do we need a Playmaker?
I think we need an organiser. I think Moses will help with this.
I also think we need to be hiring solid defenders, we have a huge gap and Defence is our real weakness.
Seriously with Benji and Sheens if we are not crossing the line then something is really wrong.

What on field position does Sheens play these days...?
..and for that matter Benji.
Someone needs to organise the plays ON the field(that covers both our bases!)..and we dont have anyone remotely capable of that atm.Just Brooks and Douhi...
Improved defence critical after our numerous beltings last season... where coaching can make the biggest difference is defence structures..and of course attitude..neither Sheens nor Benji were renowned for being at the leading edge in this key area
So it will be an interesting year to say the least
It was obvious they were just playing games with the club to shop themselves around for the best possible deal.
If things fail this time, there can be no question. The board and CEO need to go. They need to be replaced by people who understand business and others who have played the game. I'm actually surprised once Sheens and the club mended things he wasn't offered a seat on the board.
Not necessarily, If both agree we sign who we want and tell the other sorry thanks but too late.
Why do you keep referring to madge as 'fadge'?
Does changing a single letter do a great job of relaying that fact that you didn't like him as a coach?
Because from this end it does sfa.
Because they are the biggest providers of the tpas we collect from the Glen Morrisson toilet block gloryhole.
Because of his ineptitude to coach! Making Luciano and liddle play 80 minutes is just the start ti how bad he is. Look at how the brown Staines use api, some meathead hooker on for 20min then api on. No wasting his talents on crap work. Look at how payten is using Luciano. Let’s hope the new coaching team no how to coach because the last one had no idea!!
Only leeway he would be given is because of the years of mismanagement, poor recruitment and poor coaching before him. Excluding Maguire and Cleary who both had the squads available to them playing above their ability.

jesse ramien on the cards irrespective of Mitch or Brooks signing in 2024, we have the cash for that
You are comparing the use of players at clubs with a wealth of talent in numerous positions not even close to what we have had to work with in recent times if ever. LL got a 750k contract to his credit after playing at WTs he must have been doing something right to earn it.
