Tim Sheens has appointed himself coach of the Wests Tigers for the next 2 years. A smart move by the club or the sheer genius of the man affectionately called “Shifty Sheens”. Sources close to Concord (The Royal Sheaf at Burwood actually) say it’s an obvious case of revenge & what we see now is the result of years of planning. Sources say that when sacked in 2012 Shifty vowed that he would one day return to the Tigers to ensure the death of the club. This was to be his ultimate achievement in football. To carry out the plan he would need the help of a “deep throat” type operative within the Tigers administration. Leaks coming from within the Concord offices would enable Shifty to gain favour with the Tigers hierarchy & eventually take his place as coach of the team in 2023. Sources (once they’ve had a few at “the Sheaf” they can’t stop providing info) say the Tigers’ approach to Cameron Ciraldo was a cleverly initiated smokescreen used by Shifty to blindside club officials & it worked a treat. The same sources (can’t shut them up by now) say Shifty enlisted the help of both Benji Marshall & Robbie Farah to win over the Wests Tigers faithful. Unbeknowns to supporters of the club Marshall & Farah we’re both seeking revenge for their own dismissals from the club some years prior. The Triad, with the evil Shifty at the helm, fooled all & are now in the process of bringing the club to its knees. Current team selections are the beginning of the end. The puppet “Noddy” is being conveniently manipulated by the dastardly Sheens without his knowing & fans are wondering…..well, they’re just wondering. Sources (the Sheaf punters well & truly sauced by this time) believe it is only a matter of time before Shifty himself takes the field as captain coach, having sacked the whole NRL squad & replaced them with Benji, Robbie & the winning Western Suburbs Harold Matts squad. What better way to see his plan succeed then to have the Triad on the field when all is lost at the club. It will be his greatest triumph, one for the ages & will see his name live on at the club that no longer is a club. This is the genius of “Shifty”.
Now back to the bar, my shout for my sources at The Sheaf.

@helmesy I was waiting for the kids to finish a tennis lesson and it popped into my noggin so I blame the kids.
You never know with this club.....
If I had of told you 12 months ago that Sheens would be coach with Benji and farah - no one would of believed it

Sheens can certainly carry a grudge, he still bristles about his treatment by the Cowboys 😆

It would be hilarious if it was true. The thing is Lee & Pascoe would never see it coming.

Well I don’t know whether I posted it on here or the other forum. But I suggested at one point last season, we should get shifty back and have Robbie in his corner. I was very quickly shut down from that statement. 🤔 how things can come true😅😂
@frullens True, true but really the only reason I posted it was to attempt a little satire, not a very good attempt but there you go. Mainly wanted to have a satirical look at rumour mongering in league hence “sources close to Concord” being patrons of the Royal Sheaf Hotel. As good as any unnamed source I suppose.

I enjoyed the yarn Russ! 🙂
The thing with WT even the most ridiculous satirical situation, would likely end up coming true at some point.
Sources on the sauce! Ha

@frullens I browsed Twitter last night & saw something related to the Bulldogs, Sheens & Gould having lunch or whatever. And it mentioned “sources close to the Bulldogs” which made me smile. I always wonder about the closeness of these unnamed sources. I mean does the closeness refer to distance? And how far is close & not close? Or does it refer to relationships? Close as in family? Close as in peers or clients? Close as in intimacy? (Bound to be quite a few of those at the Bulldogs). Is it a paid vocation? “I’m a close source.” Does one volunteer their closeness of source? I find this mystery more intriguing than the actual information provided by these close sources.

True,there is so much garbage peddled on a daily basis,most of it speculative and hearsay in search of clicks.
Always look for the direct, concrete quotation marks before you give too much credence to a story.
After a while it becomes clear who are the journalists as opposed to the muck rakers with agendas.
