  • It is time for the journos, they're in the house.
  • Michael Shamus, Gus Wallen, Andrew Webster.
  • Great to see you all.
  • Well, let's get stuck in the Tigers.
  • There's been a lot of change this week.
  • Tim Sheens announcing or the club announcing that Tim Sheens is leaving early.
  • Benji will take over as head coach next year.
  • Give us the situation.
  • Was he pushed or did Tim Sheens walk away?
  • He jumped, I think.
  • I think he was about to get pushed and I think he knows that he was about to get pushed.
  • And he tried to get his management involved to move into a different role.
  • Moved back into the general manager's role, which he had previously.
  • But the club, they weren't interested.
  • The club, for some time, have been hearing that.
  • And I don't want to be disrespectful to Tim Sheens, but things haven't been great.
  • And there have been concerns raised by player agents around the development of their players and the coaching that they were getting.
  • And they didn't want Tim Sheens involved in the club.
  • And they didn't want it to seem like they were...
  • Well, if this went three more weeks, I'm telling you now, Tim Sheens would have been pushed.
  • But the management of Tim Sheens came to them and said to them, we want to renegotiate, we want to restructure his position at the club and move him back into that head of football.
  • And the Tigers didn't want a bar of it.
  • They just thought it was an opportunity then to cut ties with Tim Sheens and move on.
  • He was going to get pushed.
  • Interesting timing, though.
  • Two weeks to go.
  • Would you not just wait?
  • Who would know with the West Tigers?
  • They were going to wait.
  • But to be honest, everyone's got amnesia when it comes to the West Tigers.
  • Tim Sheens, like five minutes ago, was going to be the saviour of the club.
  • That's why they got him back.
  • And the way that they've slowly drawn his power away in the last two years to basically where he had to go, it was untenable for him.
  • Really the last six months.
  • But what they've done to him...
  • If I'm Benji Marshall, I would not be thinking I can get through next season with any confidence at all, given the way the West Tigers like to pull the trigger on.
  • We're not just talking about coaches, we're talking about their favourite sons.
  • They're just trashing their own brand and their own legends.
  • Sort of glass half full.
  • They did win yesterday, which was great.
  • And that's sort of a nice start, I suppose, for Benji.
  • So let's look at it as that.
  • And he's come out and said he's got lots of support from a lot of experienced coaches.
  • So let's get in behind Benji now.
  • And I'm sure the fans will.
  • It's interesting to note, when the Tigers announced this, they said that Tim Sheens will be leaving at the end of the season.
  • Who is coaching at the moment?
  • Benji's coaching.
  • Benji's been coaching for the last few weeks.
  • The thing is, he hasn't had clear air.
  • He's had Sheensy there, and he doesn't want to disrespect Tim Sheens by trying to over-call him.
  • He's been walking on eggshells.
  • The fact that they've moved him on now gives him an opportunity to coach the team himself and not have mixed messages within the club.
  • I think the Tigers...
  • Webby was talking about it earlier.
  • I think you said, actually, they could have waited a couple of weeks.
  • Reality is, they've made this decision a couple of months ago.
  • And I don't know how they get around it because the point is they made a mistake hiring Tim Sheens.
  • But what's worse, Webby?
  • They make a few mistakes.
  • What's worse, Webby?
  • Waiting another year and leaving Tim Sheens?
  • I'll just get another coach and we'll sack Benji next year as well.
  • We'll just sack him every second year.
  • That's what's going on.
  • That's what's been going on.
  • Make the right appointment in the first place.
  • I don't disagree.
  • That's probably the best starting point.
  • I don't disagree.
  • After making the wrong choice, that's the best thing they could have done, which is what they've done now.
  • Now you've got to get in behind Benji.
  • Can you see the club backing Benji for a number of years?
  • That's what they should do.
  • If that's their man, they need to give him at least two to three years to see some tangible...
  • You reckon?
  • Hang on a second.
  • You reckon?
  • Have you been following the Tigers for the last ten years?
  • Have you seen how they...
  • They held on to Michael Maguire.
  • They sack a coach every time they change their underpants at that joint.
  • They held on to Michael Maguire for four years.
  • Four years.
  • And they kept holding on to him just to prove to people they weren't going to sack a coach.
  • And for what?
  • For what?
  • It was actually to the detriment of the club.
  • They should have moved on sooner.
  • But the way that they handled that situation with Michael Maguire, there was constant speculation.
  • Even the club sort of, you know, they were having meetings to see...
  • Because the club was trying to prove that we're going to pick and stick or whatever the say might be.
  • His tenure was undermined a little bit.
  • Yeah, because they wanted Cameron Seraldo earlier and they couldn't.
  • And they haven't got him, so the dogs are going to stick with their young coach and I think the Tigers will as well.
  • Only time will tell.
  • I reckon they'll stick with Benji.
  • I will tell them.
  • Well, as Gus mentioned, I think it is a big confidence boost for the club with Benji going forward and the fact that they've got to win.
  • I'll believe it when I see it.
  • We'll have to wait and see.
  • Only time will tell.
  • Alright, Payne Haas wants to deal with the Broncos.
  • Does this cost the club elsewhere?
  • The inevitability of the salary cap is that they will.
  • I think they've already lost Flegler and Farnsworth at the end of this year.
  • I think they're big losses.
  • But he's...
  • I get it.
  • Like, you know, if you're going to pay a prop $1.2 million, it's Payne Haas.
  • It's not like you're not going to get a return on your investment.
  • He's already shown that with the way he's played the last few years.
  • So I think it's the right move.
  • They had no other choice, really.
  • Yeah, it's a good bit of business, isn't it, for the Broncos?
  • And the fans would not have allowed him to go anywhere.
  • So he's literally the world's best prop at the moment.
  • So why would you let him go?
  • But you have to pay big bucks and they did it.
  • Yeah, every team that has success loses two to three players every year.
  • It's your ability to keep doing it once you lose them.
  • That's why Penrith have been so great.
  • They keep losing plays and they keep winning.
  • You're right.
  • I like the fired up Tigers chat.
  • Yeah.
  • That fella's going to have to jump in the middle of you to get it going.
  • Nearly got the whistle out.
