[cochise]

I don't mind it as long as it doesn't lessen Hartigan's infliuence.

Hopefully Hartigan hasn't left?

He was there and heavily involved last night.

I’ve been feeling nostalgic for Sheensy the last few years. Glad to see him back.

Absolutely, I’m so happy he’s back. Beating Penrith and now Sheensy back. What a weekend.

When 'Sack Madge' gained momentum I was hoping the club would sound out John Morris to assist Maguire........this is 10 times better!

Johhny Cronk...Sheenius!

Exclusive: Tim Sheens comes back to the Tigers

The Wests Tigers are going back to the future with the club appointing four-time premiership-winning coach Tim Sheens to a new role of head of football performance at the Concord club.

In a huge coup for the joint venture outfit the coach who guided the Wests Tigers to the club’s one and only premiership in 2005 will be back on deck by early July.

Sheens was a fan favourite at the Wests Tigers during his 10-year tenure where he guided the club into three finals series including the inaugural premiership

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe has been working on the Sheens deal for the past six weeks with Sheens to return from the UK in the coming weeks and do two weeks quarantine before getting his feet under the desk.

Sheens endured a messy exit from the club at the end of the 2012 season when he was sacked before later taking the club to court.

But Pascoe stressed his previous departure was not a factor in re-opening negotiations and the strong financial position the club is currently in allowed it to target his signature.

The position is a “floating role” where Sheens will be a sounding board for players as well as working in the area of recruitment, pathways and development.

“Tim can also be a sounding board for Madge if Madge wants that,” Pascoe said.

“It’s a floating role across the entire football department.

“Tim knows what it means to be Wests Tigers and has played a major role in shaping all aspects of this club — both on and off the field — to what it is today.

“Having Tim take on this new role will significantly strengthen our football department as a whole. We firmly believe that adding Tim’s experience, knowledge and insight into the game of rugby league will be of huge benefit to Wests Tigers.

“This continual investment into football only can occur when you are in a secure financial position. As a club, we have worked hard to get to that point and now it’s pleasing to see us building our capacities and capabilities to ensure we are successful long into the future.”

best news ive heard for ages

The football department now out number the players. Every week there is a new job created.

Actually could be a master stroke, someone to take on some of Madge’s non coaching duties. Also someone who seems to be able to connect with players and player managers

I do wonder with the jobs being created and filled in the footy department in the last few months if it really shows as a club we have been run on the smell of an oily rag when compared to other clubs

I think it’s a great thing. And I think it will help Madge massively.

Well they tried to flush him once already

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

SHEENS English connections will be invaluable to the club hope he's got a Gareth Ellis tucked away over there.

Strange comment to make, as though your trying not to offend Madge.

Side note

- Badger and Tahu were appointed via the Wests Tigers Foundation (Mentioned by General Lee last night)

He should be flushed with pride to be back at the Wests Tigers.

I was hoping never to hear Sheens name again at the club .. What's old is new again think not !
This is not a good idea sounds like a star chamber being created ...to many cooks you know.
