Who should Madge's assistant coaches be for 2022?

[TigerWest]

If it’s between those two then my money would be on the guy that Sheens & the Board feel would be the next 1st grade coach in waiting. So that spels Flanagan.

Hmm, i think Sheens may take over both roles then flick Madge and take over the whole lot?

Some seem to not remember his antics last time he was here

TW, perhaps an assistant role is being kept open for Madge.

Sheenius. If he goes unbathed and ungroomed for a month he could take Pascoes role too.

Please bring in Flanagan. Yes he has been a villain in the past but he knows a footballer, is a great man manager and can slide into the top job without the fuss the WTs' attracts.

Are you truly advocating for a bloke who could "slide" into the top job? That's almost like pre-planning to white-ant the head coach. Oh wait, who am I talking to?

I have said before Maguire is well past the white anting stage !

Well past the white anting stage. A seamless transition is preferred for all involved. It would be nice for a change of coach at WTs to proceed without all the drama.

As much as you don't like it, he is still here and in charge of the first team.

It sounds like Sheens has finally got his job description but at only $1m over 3 years I think he’d be happy wearing just one hat.

Do we know if the assistant will be announced today or not ?

I thought he was hauled in for a frank & ernest performance review to appease those who were constantly whinging about him? I don’t think it was confirmation that his performance was unacceptable? Otherwise it would send the wrong message to the playing group.

Strategies & actions when not in possession tend to distinguish the good teams from the average. I agree, defence can be taught so the Tigers should be seeking out the best defensive teachers.

 

[tig_prmz]

How about Tim Sheens?

Assistant to the assistant to the Regional Manager?

 

[WT2K]

Do we know if the assistant will be announced today or not ?

Next week. Was mentioned in the Hartigan statement.

"Tim Sheens will assume the role of Director of Football, effective immediately, with the club to confirm its new-look football department next week.

Race down to two as Tigers search for Maguire’s right-hand man

The Wests Tigers have narrowed down their options to two as they look to appoint a senior assistant coach to support the newly re-signed Michael Maguire.
With the club confirming last month that Maguire would be kept on as coach, they’re hoping to put an experienced head alongside him as they strive to make their first finals series in a decade.
According to The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio, that race is down to Cronulla premiership coach Shane Flanagan and Sydney assistant Nathan Cayless.
“It’s an intriguing one, certainly for the future of Michael Maguire going forward next year,” Riccio said.
“Nathan Cayless who was with the Sydney Roosters with Trent Robinson, he’s in the frame, so too is Shane Flanagan.
“There are several elements of that Wests Tigers board that see the résumé of Shane Flanagan, he’s a premiership winner and his consistent finals appearances with the Sharks is major for the Tigers.
“I expect a decision at the end of this week between those two.”
Cayless spent 2021 as a member of Robinson’s Roosters staff, while Flanagan took the season off to work in the media.
Reports suggest he is keen to re-enter the coaching fold.
The decision comes after Tim Sheens put pen to paper as the club’s new director of football.

My concern is if Cayless was that good why are the Roosters letting him go ?? They generally don't let the god ones go and considering Fitz is leaving for Head coaching job its strange


It’s a valid concern. There may be nothing in it? If the board at WT have narrowed it down to “Cayless or Flanagan” then it’s a no brainer. Cayless had a great playing career, is an ex international, a hall of famour , played until 2010 and is still only 43. His experience in head coaching roles and at the Chooks gives me the impression he is on the up! Plus, he is an ex prop.

Flanagan consistently got his team into finals and won a premiership. To me, when looking at a coaching position, this resume puts Flanagan in front.

After 3 years as head coach Flanagan also steered the Sharks from 5th to a wooden spoon in 2014. I don’t know if that means anything?

Timbo is probably reading Roycie's resume at the moment anf given it a tick,now all he has to do is wait for Fitzhenry to put in his.
