Team harmony in question?

Did anybody hear Fittler say on the Sunday Roast.."they look like they've got something on their minds.." and Gould added .. "I know what it is you're talking about"..

It got me thinking that their is some weirdness going on behind the scenes.. hopefully nothing serious,..
 
What really irks me is how unprofessional some of our players are off the field.

Its disappointing that our captain is constantly on Twitter having immature conversations with other players Gibbs etc, Beau Ryan out-doing himself on the Footy show with Heigho in tow, and Flanagan joining in on the parade.

I mean, its fine to have interests and enjoy stuff away from footy, but this is mid season, they have said they were also committed to go one step further this year, but to me they aren't showing that commitment, rather, the distractions seem more important.

You don't see teams like St George or the Storm who have players doing such things, they are all completely focused and professional
 
Would it be that they think Blair is coming and getting big big bucks and some of the old 05 guys are being moved on ,they are very close these guys to make room for Blair . if thats the case theres a bit of jealousy i hope not because the team comes first
 
But they are pros and that should not be affecting their performances Actions speak louder than words . And last nights action said a lot of things . None of which were good

I was there last night and I go to at least 20 games a year and have done for 7 years or more. I saw things pre-game, during the game and post-game that I have never seen before. I can't put it down to anything other than the content of my original post. I hope I am wrong and I will be glad to be proved wrong by a more Tigers-like TEAM effort next week and over the remainder of the year.
 
here's one from left field.
could it be that some players are annoyed that Gareth was allowed to go home to england, instead of having to turn up training?
.
maybe its time to sit down and sort it out with coach and management, over a bbq.
let people speak their mind, and get on with working together to give wests-tigers possible chance of winning the comp.
 
Could be any of the reasons mentioned above or something completely different, but whatever it is Sheens is right, they need to grow up and start behaving like adults, instead of petulant schoolboys.
 
As everyone would have heard Sheens was very annoyed last night during the post match interview and made a comment about team selection for next week based on the poor performance last night, not sure he has much room to move.
 
I think they are just playing like crap i don't know why, but i don't think any of the players have any problems. Marshall has a big impact on our team and he was as happy as ever when Blake crossed for that first try. They played harder this week but they couldn't complete a set, I don't think there is any more to it than a playing slump.
 
Interesting at the members day today, all of the players were very friendly and obliging. I thought Sheens wasn't there as I didn't see him until towards the end of the function when he appeared for a few seconds then went into the back of the grandstand. He might be taking the last two weeks to heart and didn't want to be part of the day. I only suggest this because the last members day I went to at Concord he was up there with all the players and prominent and did a good job I thought. IF I am right I say, come on Tim give it to 'em lead from the front and set the example of a positive approach to turn this around.
 
The Buck stops with the coach to put structure and discipline into their game.

The coach is responsible for the teams performance. No one else. He is at fault. He must fix this problem. Its his job.

Bug if they can't get themselves up this week without any help they have some big issues and I will agree with you Sheens should have no issues for not getting them up this week . Playing the premiers and the team that knocked us out of the semis we should show up ready for war .

Hi Cunno, Sheens was just outside the tunnel entrance on the field posing for photos with fans for about an hour. Did you do the dressing room tour?

I arrived about 11.20am so I may have missed him then otherwise the only time I saw him was when i lined up to do the dressing room tour, it was the last tour and that's when he stuck his head out of a door at the back of the stand for a few seconds. Otherwise he could have been having shots taken while I was lined up waiting for autographs (which took most of the day).
