Tim Sheens must be the biggest moaner in the game. His team West Tigers are mentally soft and you see it with the way for example Robbie Farah couldnt hack being called soft by Matty Johns and went crying to the newspapers. Sheend moaned about the wrestling style of teams at the start of the season when Wests lost. Now he has moved on and moaned about the shoulder charge on Wests prop Matt Groat- ignoring the blatant foul by Adam Blair on Wallace when thug blair could have easily pulled out! Groat ran with his head forward and then was hit by Te´o. It was a 50/50 call. But players running with their head forward so its the first thing to be hit on impact also need to look at their style as much as the defenders IMO. The debate about shoulder charges is growing.
Then he goes on about having the 18th man in to replace the guy who is injured. Maybe if Sheens concentrated on his team playing Rugby League and not go looking for excuses etc and got his soft Touch football players to harden up a bit mentally and physically Wests would be going better than they are. When he is with Australia he is not any better and just looks for something to moan about like referees etc.

Bet a young Sheens in short pants used get a monk on and take his ball home, when he was losing :angry2:

The thing is the bloke has tons of experience and has a media presence. So what does he do if a mike is shoved near him? Yes as said above, he moans and moans. This pattern of looking for excuses for his team is a weakness that is reflected in the Tigers team. They have plenty of talent but that missing something that turns a nearly-win into something better. Bottle? Composure? Resolve? Positivity? If Tim Sheens looks closer to home for the reasons Tigers have lost games recently he'll be closer to sorting out the problem!
