What with the emergence of Toronto etc. He might not have lived up to your expectations, but the club is in a better place now than when he joined it. Disappointing comment tbh.
Ive not criticised Tim since he came started off well enough,but this season his selections have been strange, at least one sub seems to be unplayed each week,i know we have had bad luck with injuries,but unused subs seems a total waste.Whether atkin stays or goes,most games when he has come on hes changed the course of the game,the cup wit warry an example and must feel hes not wanted.I know hes had interest from 3 s/l clubs and hasnt signed a contract with us,im not saying hes a world beater,but just hasnt had game time.Maybe i was a tad harsh in my 1st post regarding tim,but this season has really been disappointing,after I thought we would be competitive.Conceeding an average of 30pts a game is not going to get us anywhere near the top 8.

Have to agree with this to be fair. No nice for anyone to lose their job, but at the end of the day we should not be two points from bottom with the staff we have IMHO.

Tim is a great man and what a stellar career he has had. He has had stress issues in the past and nowadays he is just a little too calm and forgiving...IMO.
Between his successes he twice coached North Queensland to bottom place and the wooden spoon, we just couldn't wait to see if he got an unwanted hat trick at Rovers. With so many positive things happening at Rovers relegation would be intolerable.
Sheens was going to be replaced next season anyway but it seems the embarrassing display against 11 men was the final straw.
No one goes on forever and Tim Sheens has had a very long and illustrious career as a coach. I hope he puts his feet up and has a long and happy retirement.

agree with you but this 11 man thing was only for 5 minutes and 2 sets
This has the same shambles look as when Chester was sacked to be replaced by Webster. Hope there is a better plan this time. The new man could do worse than bench McGuire who has been awful most games. Him and Keinhorst are awful defenders. McGuire has no direction he just play one tackle at a time with no planning ahead. I'd sign Drink water up now and let him run the plays.

Right decision, Rovers have not improved since he came in, still around same league position and same issues.
I don't buy he did well to get you back up and keep you in the league, any half decent coach would have done that with the budget he had, struggled at times against championship sides.
Next appointment is massive, hugh gamble to go with Ford, not tested, done well, but a lot of success at York has been built on loaning SL players or using DR.
Morgan would be an interesting appointment, did really well last time, but should you either go back, will he be able to recruit the calibre of NRL players he did last time.
Tony Smith would be a good shiut, Wane as as well (But might be priced out), Watson at Salford would be a good choice as he has taken them as far as possible.

What about Mcnamara?
Dave you’ve virtually named every single coach I disagree slightly it wasn’t easy getting promoted it’s ok going through the motions but come the middle 8s it’s the hard part and we did it comfortably and then he kept us up the problem came this season where he signed better players but we seem worse I think we had enough to finish 8th but looks like we’ll be fighting London to stay up
