Wests Tigers Coaches

Leaks once again just come out with an announcement before it becomes public knowledge for Christ sake
Just went and actually listened to her comments after seeing the tweet I posted above and she said......"can confirm this news did not come from the club so not going with it 100%, but got a phone call late last night and hearing that Tim Sheens has agreed to terms with the Tigers over a 2 year period...".

Well the person who told her must have heard it from the club
 
Well Iam putting the que in the rack if Sheens is given the reins. This whole saga from day one looked bad and smelt bad. How can such a unethical mob attract anyone to the club now is beyond me.

Maybe time to head down the road to Henson Park, drink good beer, eat good pies and watch a hot side..for half the price
 
If Sheens is appointed coach.. it seems we don't need a head of football anymore or a development coach.... the exact opposite a more experienced coach than the last experienced coach.

So many have confused what "development coach" means. It doesn't have to be a young coach, it just has to be someone who is focussed on bringing through youngsters the right way. Could be a 30 year old or an 80 year old.
 
Sheens is definitely up against history if he gives himself the job. No coach whose been out of the game for a decade, let one north of 70 has ever had success. But then again, winning and losing won’t matter for the next couple of years. I’m starting to wonder why he said that 🤔

Cinderella story.

I don't buy that you can classify coaches in that sense. They either have access to talent or they don't and if the talent chooses to play elsewhere the youngsters you bring through will continue to struggle..
 
For those comparing Bennett to Sheens, how many times has Wayne Bennett been sacked?Compare that with how many times Sheens has been sacked?

I'm hopeful Sheens can still do the job given that's the direction we're going, but he's not at the same level as Bennett.

Of course you can, some guys work well at improving players, upskilling them. Others are better with players already at a high level and are stronger tactically etc.
