Was mentioned a few days ago he is having issues getting a flight
 
In Tim’s eyes this year is a write off
He’s already started work from the other side of the world & he’s already planning for 2022 & beyond
That’s why the first thing he did a few weeks ago was to email every nrl club about their roster
Welcome back home to the tigers sheensy 👍

Might be a dumb question

But what would the reason be for emailing clubs about roster?
Is it to find players who r contracted or?

How about to let them know he was back in town (so to speak) and to re-connect with player managers..

It was to player managers to see who is off contract

Sheens era leaks were pretty good from memory, very entertaining (or was that the potter years, can't remember now)
 
Hopefully he arrives before start of next season as it looks like we are not recruiting until he arrives.. Silence is deafening to us fans.

Think it was cause he asked our recruitment team and they asked him to look at zerotackle.com

Im sure its more of a PR campaign than actively asking about players as such - although that could be part of it.

Wouldn’t hurt to email clubs too as many would be quietly prepared to talk potential release of players.

Thought our recruitment looked at remondis.com ?
 
Only sharing due to the Sheens reference, so hope it's not an issue.

**Raiders royalty: Stuart on verge of more Canberra History**

Author Martin Lenehan
NRL.com Senior Journalist
Thu 12 Aug 2021, 07:01 AM


Having steered the Green Machine to their only three premierships as a player and taken them to another decider as coach, Ricky Stuart's place among Canberra's greats is assured.

As a fiercely competitive No.7, Stuart joined forces with Laurie Daley, Mal Meninga, Brad Clyde and Steve Walters to lead Canberra through a golden era which delivered the club its maiden title in 1989 and two more in '90 and '94.

If ever a team was blessed with an abundance of on-field generals it was the Raiders of the late 80s and early 90s, from composed custodian Gary Belcher to Big Mal and Loz controlling the midfield to perennial winner Glenn Lazarus and Kiwi enforcer Brent Todd in the engine room.

Then there was Stuart, kicking long and running strong, revving up his troops and moving the chess pieces around the SFS dust bowl like he was Garry Kasparov.

**And the man behind the Machine was the wily Tim Sheens, who took charge in Stuart's debut season in 1988 and spent nine years at the helm before heading north to the Cowboys and then to Wests Tigers, where he won another premiership in 2005.**


**Stuart played 203 games in lime green and Sheens was his mentor in 171 of those.

The bond between coach and playmaker was a strong one and remains so to this day.

Sheens' nine years in the national capital delivered 148 victories and as the Raiders face a moment of truth against the Storm on Thursday night, Stuart has the chance to become just the second Canberra coach to win 100 games with the club.**

"That's how you're true to yourself as a coach. You don't change your personality, you are who you are and you coach accordingly. That's Ricky. Grand finals are big moments. They bond people for life.

"Mal said after '89 it was the best thing ever. It's just a unique feeling to win a premiership. With guys who aren't all rep players or internationals.

"Guys that are never going to wear an Australian jumper have won a premiership and walked away with a ring. Those sorts of things give a coach a lot of satisfaction."

As the Raiders continue to chase their first title since 1994, when Big Mal bowed out a winner and Sheensy made it three titles in six years, they have the perfect man in their corner in Stuart.
A man who knows the history of the club because he helped to write it.

A man who'd be honoured to join his old mentor as the only two men to win 100 games as Raiders coach.
