Tim Sheens Has Quit Wests Tigers.

[supercoach]

In his time with us he was a one trick pony,had a great run at the back end of 2005 that was based on a very good game plan, a very well balanced 17,a good run from the injury god and a comp that saw most of the other real contenders struggling at the wrong end of the season. I do give Sheens a big wrap for the way he prepared his team and the game plans he put in place over that period.

Things changed like they do every year after 2005 and I dont think Sheens recruited or put game plans in place to meet the changing game. Okay over the next seven years he had two very good streaks that took him well into September but for the most part of that time he could only be judged as a failure.

I dont blame Sheens as much as I blame the board, because they were the ones who did not react to his poor performance till late last year. Anyway enough said about Sheens that chapter has now closed

Look love him or hate him and I all no you loved him in 05, I have been one of his haters in the past 2 years BUT the bloke can coach. He just spent 2 yrs to long at the tigers,I'm over the moon we got potter but I will give credit where it's due sheens was great for this club all the stuff that has been written here about the bloke saying good get out etc just think without tim we would not have a orienteers hip beside our name

Does anyone know of the conditions of his exit????

Still being negotiated AFAIK,Sheens did a great job but as already stated probaly stayed 2 years too long,he seemed jaded,almost burnt out and needed a break,it didn't help that senior players stopped listing to the "same old ,same old".

Tim Sheens to quit Concord in order to focus energy on World Cup bid for Kangaroos

TIM Sheens will walk away from Wests Tigers for good.

The Daily Telegraph has been told that Sheens has declined several newly-created roles within the club after being sacked as head coach on September 25.

Sheens had another two years remaining on his Tigers deal, despite club officials shunting him in favour of new coach Mick Potter.

Fearing the club may be taken to court, Wests Tigers offered Sheens a job in development - but he has rejected the role.

**<big>He will officially announce his decision to leave the club early in the new year.</big>** Wests Tigers chief executive Steve Humphreys declined to comment yesterday.

The club and Sheens, 62, have had on-going discussions about his future. Sheens could easily have stayed at the club and collected a cool $450,000 for the next two seasons.

However, it's understood that Sheens had decided to move on after a decade at Concord, which included winning the 2005 NRL premiership.

Sheens still wants to coach at NRL level at some stage but more immediately wants to focus on coaching Australia in a World Cup year.

"Right now, I've been appointed Australian coach and that's my focus. There will be a fair amount of pressure, not only on me, but the whole group to win the World Cup," he said recently.

The Kangaroos will start the tournament in Britain as firm favourites ahead of New Zealand and England.

Canberra coach David Furner had considered employing Sheens as an assistant coach but the Raiders opted for Brett Kimmorley.

And while the NRL club is on the verge of sorting out its excess head coach situation, the joint venture board remains a rabble.

"The Balmain and Western Suburbs factions don't see eye-to-eye," said one well-placed source.

Wests Tigers chairman David Trodden is a victim of the politicking, resigning from the post. "I hold a view that it is healthy for any organisation to have regular reinvigoration by bringing new people into leadership positions with fresh ideas and enthusiasm," Trodden told Weststigers.com.au.

"As much as I have a very strong emotional attachment to my club, no one person owns senior board positions and everyone has an obligation to make sure the club has access to new people and new perspectives."

Balmain has nominated Nick Di Girolamo as the new Wests Tigers chairman, but Western Suburbs-aligned Mike Bailey, the former TV weatherman, is likely to eventually take the chair.

The Balmain and Wests blocs alternate the chairmanship each year as part of the structure that was set up when the two clubs merged.

Have heard nothing on this as yet…wonder what the real story is

It's still early in the new year.
I think though that its fair to say Sheens has ceased all involvement with Wesrs Tigers, except perhaps his payout.

I was watching on fox sports news last night and they had a interview with Mick Potter and he said he would of liked for Tim Sheens to have stayed on and be coaching director he said he could of learned heaps of him but then he goes on and says it wont happen. He also said Tim Moltzen will be our fullback as James Tedecso was a bit behind because of his injury in december but is not far off and he said there both very talented players.

The comment about Sheens is footy speak , Potter (and the players) probably think that Pluto is too close for Sheens

The Tigers will be estatic that Sheens isn't involved in the club in any way shape or form
