Todd Payten...

1Tigers line up replacement for JT

Todd Payten’s name is being freely bandied around at the Tigers as the club sharpens the axe on coach Jason Taylor.

The Tigers are in deep trouble after starting the season with two straight wins and I’m hearing morale in the camp is at rock bottom.

They will give JT until at least round 10 before fully assessing things but Sunday’s game against the Storm at Leichhardt shapes as a massive one in the Tigers’ season - and Taylor’s career.

The Storm are vulnerable and below strength - and the Tigers are always expected to muscle up at Leichhardt.

But another loss will see the pressure mount on the board to make changes - and soon before the Tigers’ season totally implodes.

Ivan Cleary was always the name being thrown around should Taylor fail but I’m hearing the Tigers are now seriously looking at Payten.

He is good mates with new football manager Mark O’Neill and the pair were team-mates in the Tigers’ memorable 2005 grand final triumph.

Payten is also very close to sacked skipper Robbie Farah and knows the Tigers’ system inside out, having coached there as an assistant in recent years.

He is currently on the Cowboys staff but is believed to have a get-out clause if a top grade opportunity opens up.

Cleary is the man for the job.

I rated Todd as a good U20s coach. But.

Name being freely banded around… Mates with... Very close with...

Dear oh dear...

This club goes from one disaster to the next …

Who says whiteanting doesn't pay off in the end

Great move WT's , sign another rookie NRL coach and this one with no senior coaching experience

I really hope why people understand now I wish we never went within coeee of Buckets , another one of these back to the future moments

Maybe Todd owns a brewery or makes a good pizza ??

Your right happy , with Farah still here , Buckets on board and the talk of Payten in the mix , the boys club will be here forever !

And the younger players we have won't know any difference !!
:bash

Oh! my God - Back to the old days if this happens. It would be four years down the drain.

You would hope the club had learnt it's lesson last time - wouldn't you.

If it happens Hobbo I will snap big time , I will hire a mini van , drive every piece of Wests Tigers stuff we own down south ,kick the doors of the club down , leave the garbage in the foyer and will throw Moltz the garden gnome at Buckets head :imp:

 

[tsjonathan]

this club just gets better and better!

 

[hobbo]

FFS, another unproven coach. Don't we ever learn

Looks like Benji might get a gig back here after all .

I can see it now … Brooks goes ...., Farah , benji and Payten re-unite , sheens comes back to run the drinks & Heigno is brought in to make the sandwiches ...

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

If Payten gets the gig, I will lose it.

This club lurches from cluster to cluster.

Sack everyone and start again.

Taylor will be gone so you have your wish…what's that old saying again...Careful what you wish for....

Experienced coaches like Cleary and Toovey would want nothing to do with the Wests Tigers...absolute Coach killers....

I'll drive past in the van if you like CB :wink: , actually sounds like a double decker bus might be more appropriate

Taylor and Farah should've got the arse last year ..but we had no money !

I'd love Toovey , you wouldn't get no negative comments from me If he was appointed ..
As for Cleary , he's another Drip IMO .

 

[ricksen]

It's the Lurker - he or she just makes things up. Pay them no notice.

And don't forget Royce to put out the witches hats

 

[tigerap]

Seriously If I were JT I'd be putting the broom through this side….They simply dont respect or follow the HEAD Coaches instructions....they all need a course in Primadona school.

It's exactly the sort of thing this club would do.

You're funny our last 2 Coaches are on bargin bin contract ..that after paying out the previous one close to a Million after punting him…

You think Toovey would come near the Wests Tigers...good one... :laughing:
