Shane Flanagan has called on incoming Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens to step up and guide the club through to the end of the season.

The premiership-winning coach and 2GB & 4BC Continuous Call Team commentator’s comments come after the Tigers’ 72-6 humiliation at the hands of the Sydney Roosters – the worst loss in the joint venture’s history.

“If I was him (Sheens), I could not let what’s happening to the team happen. I would have to step in and help them,” said Flanagan.

“Just to sit back and say ‘I’m going to start next year’ – I don’t get it. I think he should come in and help.”
