Gooleboy 1,387 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 So now a new Coach will have to work with players that Sheens wanted and signed for next season, not the best scenario, but there will probably be plenty of takers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 3,497 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 That’s a real shame, I’d love to see Widnes back in SL and I thought they were moving in the right direction with him in charge and with some of the signings they’ve made. Not playing any games this year and next season being in doubt can’t have been an attractive proposition for him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binosh 156 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Strange time to be leaving just after the announcement of a load of signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Phantom Horseman 2,112 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) That's a curious statement on the Vikings website, in that there isn't any real insight as to why he has resigned. If it had been directly related to Covid, perhaps family-related, that would have all seemed understandable and you'd think that would have featured in the statement.

Hela Wigmen 2,264 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I wonder if it’s a job that Paul Wellens might go for. He’s been at Saints for a few years now in off-field roles and a “proper” head coach job at a big club in Widnes could be a good stepping stone either to a Super League job or back to Super League for Widnes.

Matthew Shaw of TotalRL has written a story about it. Suggests Sheens was upset about his right-hand-man not being retained, and that the players were only informed via a group chat shortly before the news was announced. https://www.totalrl.com/mystery-reigns-after-tim-sheens-sudden-widnes-vikings-exit/ Edited October 6, 2020 by The Phantom Horseman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Returned for their reserves last year I believe, now got a first team deal. Maybe the odd game last year reignited something for him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
