All Hail King Farah

Farah said he just went out and played his normal game today. Meaning all year he had been playing Taylor Ball and told to pass and tackle and let Brooks run everything. Like Moses all year he hand the hand break put on him by the coach. Now keep in mind it was a disinterested Warriors side so the space and time was much more then against the big guns.

Still I think Taylor came in with all these structures and ideas from the Chooks. It sounds good in theory but really it has been ordinary coaching. I think he needs to start organising a game plan which allows to work to the strengths of the individual talents each player has. Even stopped pat doing his spiral kick offs that was effective. To me its just been really uninspiring coaching.

He had a hard gig Taylor but i think hr has been a real flop this year. We always talk down our team and its not a great squad but it does have some talent and more then we have been allowed to show.

We put 50 points on today. Somehow, that doesn't warrant any questions where this kind of football has been all yr.

I think it provides a few answers actually GNR.

The fact that the squad decided to turn up today and put in that performance shows who they're playing for and it certainly isn't Taylor.

Should put to bed the rumours that the squad doesn't get on with Farah.

So if it really is Taylor vs Farah, I think we now know whose side the squad is on.

So, you're saying its acceptable that the playing group isn't playing for their coach. They weren't playing for their last coach either. Why is this acceptable?

Thanks in advance mate.

You weren't condemning it.
 
Lets be honest warriors have lost quite a few games straight and were without johnson, matulino, lillyman and vatuvai to name a few of the top of my head

It does but there have been plenty of comments earlier in the year regarding JT's structures and game plans. There were people defending his structures and game plans with comments related to the long term plan and how he was teaching us to defend. Its obvious that this was all palava.

I don't know where this leaves us but of course questions will be asked. Why did we have such terrible game plans for long periods of this season ?

So you obviously didn't see us defending for the first 20 min today?

So what you are saying the player is bigger on the pole than the coach ,the coach should be the subordinate to the player , the coach should relinquish all control to the player ,the whole squad has to be subordinate to the player ,the club and all its levels of administration has to be subordinate to the player in actual fact this is what happened last season straight after the dogs game ..I find this quite disturbing that this view is taken about how an organisation should revolve around one player ..interesting views.

Here we go. Another deluded individual who somehow possesses the ability to mind-read through computer screens..

Please highlight exactly where I said all those things ? actually just highlight one of them please ?

Please show me where i portrayed those as my views ?

I simply made a point, no where did I state it was acceptable or ok. I just made a point.
My apologies though, I should have accounted for those with a limited capacity to comprehend such as yourself.

No need to be like that. Whether you meant it or not, it came off like you were saying ''well, that's just the way it is''. There was so no tone from you that conveyed that you thought it was unacceptable, even if you didn't condone it.

Well it is what it is. JT has got the majority of the fans, the members, the majority of the league world and now the playing squad offside with this decision that only he understands.

I am onside with JT and I genuinely think he is directing the club in the right direction on the field BUT I can't for the life of me understand his justification of this decision.

I always thought the playing group was behind JT and where he was pushing this club despite the poor onfield results. It is no coincidence though that we played two horrible games against the Knights and Sharks, after they were officially made aware of the decision to sack Farah.

Considering the players are all in support of Farah, there won't be any salary cap or monetary relief with this decision then what exactly is the reason behind wanting to sack him ?

What benefit do we get out of paying a club legend $2 million to play for another club when almost everyone associated with the organisation is against the idea ?

I can't blame the squad for wanting to stand up for their captain and show support, especially when everyone else (bar the coach) is doing the same.

JT doesn't exactly have the best track record with his players anyway, so i tend to give our squad the benefit of the doubt in this situation.

Neither does this playing group have a great record with their coaches. See Potter for proof.

Good point. But in this case it isn't just the players who disagree with JT's antics

See Bellamy press conference
See Bennet press conference
See Wests Tigers Facebook page
See booing of JT at game
See Signs Supporting Robbie at game
See numerous articles over the last few days
See majority of experts and commentators on various rugby league shows

Hence, the players can't be blamed for being offside with the coach in regards to this specific situation when the majority of all other stakeholders are in the same boat.
 
Let's not get over excited here. We beat a Warriors side that hasn't won for a while and they were without their big guns. Johnson plays, it's a much closer game, the others play, the result may have been different. Who knows? I suppose you can only play whatever's in front of you but the opposition today were pretty ineffective.

As for Robbie, where did that performance come from? His best for years and it hurts to see him go but I'm a Wests Tigers supporter and I'll support Robbie if he stays or whoever replaces him if he doesn't stay. I won't walk away over the fate of one player after more than 50 years a Magpie and now a Tiger.

That's only your opinion. Maybe they turned up to play after hearing some great news during the week. Maybe they turned up because it's been a while since they've turned up. Maybe they turned up to send off Keefy snd Pat. If we had of lost, would that have been proof that they didn't like Farah?

If you all take the emotion out of this thread and look from the outside looking in….
Maybe what Taylor was teaching the group about defensive structure and Farah had to take a step back while they were learning.....it's clear the penny has finally dropped and the younger ones are stepping up to NRL level,let's wait and see...as was said a few weeks ago Taylor changed the structure so the young guns can play a more attacking game..

Just seems funny how emotional the group were today hugging their fearless leader after he has been giving his so called marching orders...infront of a home crowd and a TV audience..
And he finally played his style of football...

Had a wonderful game - 1st one in 2 years. If he needs to be sacked to play well then that isn't who I want as captain. Great effort by JT to coach the boys to a massive win despite all the controversey this week

Well said.
 
Well done by the players who threw boring ball out the window and played to their strengths…it was a breath of fresh air!
