@lestronge, you're the one making inferences about my comments on the hiring of Sheens and the possible release of Alex Twal. My response was in reply to the comments about "stupid decisions" raised by another poster. I just added examples of other stupid decisions, IMO, that the club has made and is reported to be considering.
As for you reminding me, and others, about what you "said" previously, well, sorry to disappoint you, but I probably didn't read it or I promptly ignored it at the time. But, that's what a forum of opinions is about. And that's all that this place is. Albeit 117 light years ahead of that other WTF. IMO.
I'm sure you don't post there. Do you?
@tigersteve I beg to differ the only forward that any young player would learn from would be API .. I don’t rate any other established forward at present. No more sugar coating for me 2 x wooden spoons personnel needs to change !
@tiger5150 It’s pathetic how someone can not keep there mouth shut .. these conversations should be in house until either completed or not ! A very light weight organisation to be frank , very unprofessional.
@mercy-rule ??? What are you talking about ? Every post of yours is either about how garbage sheens is or Benji or whatever dribble .
I don’t even understand what you’re getting at with the rest of your post , as I just went into talking about why twal is surplus to need .
As I’m sure I’ve said to you already . Cool story … tell it again !
EXCLUSIVE: Phil Gould reveals 'player swap' deal could rob Bulldogs of Alex Twal signing
By Simon Brunsdon

Phil Gould has let slip rumours of a player swap being discussed by Manly and the Wests Tigers.
Gould was responding to reports his own club, Canterbury, had met with representative prop Alex Twal this week.
Twal was seen meeting with Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo, as first reported by Wide World of Sports on Tuesday.
The Lebanese star is contracted to the Tigers for next season but the club isn't standing in his way if he can find a deal elsewhere.
"Our coach spoke to him this week," Gould confirmed on Wide World of Sports' Six Tackles with Gus podcast.
"There's very, very little out there on the market, so I guess when a player like that comes on the market you've got to do your due diligence and have a chat, so the coach went and had a chat this week.
"In a world with mobile phones and cameras someone had to take a photo of it and send it to the media."
But in confirming Ciraldo met with Twal, Gould revealed the Sea Eagles are suggesting a player swap with the Tigers.

The Tigers have previously been involved in player swaps between clubs, most notably taking Harry Grant for the 2020 season which effectively launched his NRL career before he returned to the Storm.
"I think Manly and the Tigers are discussing perhaps a trade, or a swap, with Alex," Gould said.
"We'll know more next week what his intentions are, and we've got to decide whether that's right for us as well.
"Alex has to decide whether that's right for him."
The Tigers collected the wooden spoon this season, while the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles also missed finals.

I'm not opposed to it. Keppie (reportedly) on much less money and gives us something we don't have off the bench - impact.
Bula extends until end of 2027
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
Great news re:Bula. Seems a player you could use as a key part to build around.
@the-last-ronin All well and good the problem is the coaching staff except one that has any coaching experience.. what Bula needs is good coaching to get him to the next level but with the current coaching set up that will not be happening unfortunately.
