Rugby league is an assassin’s game in the sense that every high-profile individual eventually becomes a target, the shots often fired from hidden positions. To accept that bargain on a consistent basis, you need to have a motivation greater than personal gain, be it an unshakeable faith in your own ability, or belief in a higher being, or the conviction that all will come right at the end.
“They’ve all gone,” Sheens says of those who sacked him. Wests Tigers is still a slightly schizophrenic entity in the sense it is a merger of two foundation clubs; plays at three grounds ; has an inner west history and an outer west future, with a chairman whose dress sense is more talked about than his good sense and a Melbourne private school-educated chief executive who could take advice from his chair on how many buttons to do up on his shirt.
He is a believer in the Jack Gibson philosophy: “The first year, you assess. The second year, you do something about it. The third year you get results, or there will be no fourth year.” Significantly, he has a three-year contract. He calls this “discretionary efforts,” which is another way of saying team spirit. It is how it is done in Melbourne and Sheens coached Storm boss, Craig Bellamy, when at the Raiders. The lazy, selfish and undisciplined soon feel their presence.
The plan was also to produce five Kangaroos in five years. It succeeded but at Sheens’ expense, with the Phil Gould-coached Panthers defeating the Sheens-coached Raiders in the 1991 grand final. Sheens has also been sacked from coaching a representative team and returned to triumph. He coached NSW in the 1991 State of Origin series, with all three games decided by two points and two played in Brisbane, with the overall points tally only 32-30. Yet Sheens is the only Blues coach to be sacked after a single series. An argument over a code of conduct which NSW adhered to and the Maroons did not in the final match – Wally Lewis’s last Origin - would appear to the basis for his dismissal.
I wonder what marinasgo thinks about being made the scapegoat for Wests Tigers woes. I’m pretty sure that most of the current Board have been there a lot longer than she was🤔🤔🤔
