Wouldn’t surprise me if things change over the next few years as Benji takes more control, knows what he wants & his confidence gains.

Suspect Sheens moves into the role of sorts

Lets hope it doesn’t happen in a contract period when a chunk of our young “guns” are off contract.

I think sheens mentioned before once Benji takes over he is done Returning to England and retiring totally

He doesn't even have a coaching certificate for juniors!!

Talk about going off early!!'

Do you remember Scott as a player???

He wasn't Bozo's &%#$$%$ as a player - and I can't imagine coaching is his forte OR more importantly his ambition either!

His dad was a true Immortal both as player and coach - & Scott has his own strengths!

Can you read???

Stop relying on what you "think someone mentioned" as your source of information...

1. Sheens is from Australia will not be "returning to England" to retire!

2. The FIVE-YEAR coaching arrangement contracted by Wests Tigers is for Tim to be head coach for TWO YEARS (2023-2024) - with Benji as assistant & promoted to head coach from 2025-2027!

Of course Benji will be working closely with recruitment to build the future squad!

SIMPLE STUPID!!!

1) he has been in England since he was first fired by the tigers. His partner is English, he spoke about how he enjoys his time there. He returns every chance he gets. Last time was during the World Cup where he met up with his partner who was still over there. It’s on the ask the boss episode at the time. Just because you were born in a certain country does not force you to retire in that country.

2) he has stated multiple times “I am the interim coach for two years” the 5 year play is for the tigers. Not sheens.


a) calling someone stupid is a reflection on yourself, not them.

b) yes I can read. Which I think is evident by this reply.

c) I never mentioned Benji would not be working with recruitment on future squad members, which makes me question if you can comprehend what your reading.

d) you need stop personally attacking people, not only is it against the code of conduct on the website you are choosing to participate in. I understand that sometimes it will get more people to reply to you, and you may get a dopamine response when that little red icon is showing. But if it gets absorbed by your personality you may find life tougher in the future.

Good luck

I started watching the Bye Round Podcast with James Graham and Tim Sheens but never had the time to get past about the first 15 minutes.

What does come out in those first few minutes is that Sheens and his wife have British Citizenship, that Sheens came back to Australia to tidy up some loose ends and that he wants to go back to England and do some traveling.

Sounds like England is where he wants to retire to, but in the meantime, the current deal has him as Head Coach for 2023/24 with Benji as Head Coach for the next 3 years after that, which is 2025-2027.

As things currently stand, in 2025 Sheens goes back to his "Director of Football" position for a further year, or "Director of Rugby" is what he actually says in the podcast.

That is what I got out of the podcast in the first few minutes and what supposedly is currently the plan, which as we know can go out the window at any time.

Sheens said on the “James Graham podcast” that he will be head coach in 24, then step back into head of football for 25.
Then he and his wife are heading back to England to enjoy retirement as they both have English citizenship.

& would prevent that muppet from ever being selected in first grade again regardless of how much Sheens seems to love him

Make no mistake, if the club gets Latu Fainu, it is one of, if not the biggest, external junior signing in club history.

You wanted a circuit breaker?

He would be it.

Agreed, but we need to change this:
Nickname:Tuuderr
That is apparently Latu's nick name.

Great post.
One thing that I don’t like on here is people taking pot shots at other posters just because they disagree.
Don’t play the man.

Actually I didn't fall asleep, as a matter of fact I enjoy Sheens' story telling and just can't find the time at the moment to sit down for a couple of hours to have a listen. Will hopefully get around to it some time in the near future.

Also like James Graham and apart from the time he tried to chew off Billy Slater's ear have found him to be a very likable guy.
