Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[sleeve]

Ha, yes

Sheens is not known for coaching structures let alone defensive structures. IMHO attitude wise Sheens can do it for sure (look at our signings), is he doing this now? ??

That said, Sheens and Benji need to be able to develop play makers. If they can't, FIRE THEM! Moses clearly improved going to Parramatta, likewise I expect Brooks and Doueihi to improve under Benji and Sheens. They are coaches and Both Brooks and Doueihi have talent, not perfect and have problems. Yet they have talent.

Sheens and Benji are not on the field, don't care.
The buck stops with them. With the Squad we have recruited this year the buck stops with them, even if there is no Moses. We should be seeing Tigers cross the line else why have we hired them.

No 1 - They have only started recruitment, more to come.
No 2- Sheens said 2025, that's how long it takes to go from bottom to top 8.
No 3 - The club has got 5 new players to meld into a unit,- it will take time.
No 4- You are unrealistic if you think a brand new coaching staff, will turn the side around in a few months
No 5- Sheens and coaching structures, and how poor Sheens is. Get a life and stop bagging, he won 4 premierships !

if only we could get the dragons to take Seyfarth and Twal off us.... we'd be rid of every plodder.

Geeze they look ordinary against Souths.

And yes - all the Twal fans - he's a plodder.

 

[Tito Santana]

How would putting a deadline allow us to entice other players over not putting a deadline?

It’s not hard. How can you talk to other players regarding dollars when you have a guy you’ve got a massive offer out to not committing? Pretty hard to plan who you can talk to.

Force the guys hand. We’re in the box seat. If he doesn’t want to be $2 million in front that’s fine. Go after someone else.

Again, not hard guys.

Agreed re Twal. Plodder.

This talk about putting a deadline on Moses is nonsense. If you impose a deadline, you need a realistic reason for doing so. That is something will happen at that point in time which will affect the Moses offer.

Agreed. Our recruitment approach has worked well to date. Why would you vary it?

 

[diedpretty]

We need a playmaker..theyre scarce as hens teeth..had one but he wasnt fast enuff according to coach Sheens

he didn't do much playmaking yesterday. Catch and pass - anyone can do that.

I think you have too many hits in the ring Tito!

The first one who signs. E.g. RTS or welsby might be the marque, not Moses. Laurie to 6. You're suggesting they play checkers, when the recruitment game is more akin to chess.

 

[diedpretty]

I understand 100 percent. I think that's part of the problem, there's no accountability. It could turn into a boys club and no one could really do anything about it.

It already is a boys club.

 

[clontarfkid]

Agreed. So make a deadline as to when you plan to give him to. His signing or non signing has a knock on effect to how we resource other positions. I wouldn’t be letting him drag on any further. I’m surprised Douhei resigned with so much uncertainty about Moses. Brave really. I would have left to go elsewhere. Increase my pay on the basis Moses falls through the Tigers are rooted for a 5/8.

I make sense.

Think thee is no "elsewhere"atm for Douhi...its wait and see for everybody,includind WTS

 

[clontarfkid]

Ramien didn't last at the Knights and went back to the Sharks. He now knows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side so why would he leave the sharks again?

$$$..motivates most.
Doesnt have to levae home and family to come to WTs

It is much more complicated than that.
The Wests Tigers Board allows for up to 8 board members. The consist of the board allows for the following:

• 2 Independent Directors
• 1 Nominated by WSDRLFC (aka Wests Magpies)
• 4 Nominated by WSLC (aka Wests Ashfield Leagues)
• 1 Nominated by BTRLFC (aka Balmain Tigers)

Note that Wests Ashfield controls the WSDRLFC as well, so they have the majority of the seats on the board. The 2 independent directors are aapointed by the rest of the board.

Wests Ashfield has 7 members on its board and only 2 of those are appointed by the general members of the club, the other 5 come from the 20 current Debenture Holders.

* Wests Ashfield is now known as the Holman Barnes Group.

There is nothing anyone can do to change the board make up of our club,

I would have thought that the Wests Ashfield directors could be voted out via members at the leagues club? I.e. voting out from Wests Ashfield would remove them from being able to serve on the tigers board. No? I could be wrong..

Exactly - and for those who believe the Wt Board is a boys club you would loathe the fact that the Wests Ashfield board is the quintessential boys club.

They have waited close 4 months another week is no big deal. Although I think they already know the answer and are working on plan B

 

[Kelce68]

Have you read any of his posts?

Enough.

I tend to agree, with Sheens running the show we're but gonna be played for fools.

Who cares about Moses, get Welsby!

 

[Camel2281]

[TigersFan101]
