Correct Gall
It just runs from the question - or shhots the messenger - which many seem happy to do.
As i said, mediocrity isnt confined to the club and its staff, plenty among the support base.
Oh yeh Mark O'Halloran bled for us too

Geez, there's quote for you. This quote needs to be framed and handed to the incoming board on a velvet pillow.
I couldn't see the boards (or sponsors) of the Seagulls, Squirrels, or Capons accepting this view from their fans.
Unfortunately Knuckles, I'm beginning to agree with you.

I'm sure I read somewhere Mayer had a death in the family or had a funeral of a family member to attend
If this is true we need to cut him some slack
When I said a week ago that maybe the Tigers are possibly trying to force Robbie out I was looking at it the wrong way
Maybe Robbie is trying to get himself forced out ??

Re: Did farah have permission….
...no one really knows or cares, question is did, does or will the current board have permission to leak everything happening behind the scenes at our club to anyone willing to listen? i think that's been happening too much and too often to even compare to robbie's tv interview.

Was it just me or was the camera a little too close during the Gould/Farah interview? All I could see was Farah's massive snoz!

Well it would have two upsides for him. He would need to get paid out if he is sacked rather than him quiting. And he could play the victim angle again.
@gallagher said:
He would never leave or try something like that. He is getting paid to well at the tigers and despite what people may think he genuinely loves the club and acts in its best interests "most" of the time. If you don't believe me than just read through the quotes of his fellow players the week.

Rob's trying to get himself forced out?
#1 news article comes out suggesting coach is going to be sacked, supporter base is full of accusations all that day towards Farah claiming he's the architect, the leak everything. Tallis then repeats what turns out to be a 15 month old conversation to gather himself some attention, which only heightens the shrieking from some corners towards Farah.
After the game that day, in which we got comfortably beaten. Robbie and Mick turn up to the presser only to be further hounded about the issue, where besides Mick supporting Rob, Farah himself makes it abundantly clear the players support Mick and aren't working against him.
Yet because he doesn't individualise his comments, this is still not good enough for some sections of the shrill supporter base.
The board should have come out and defended their captain, instead these scumbags hide behind the media and fan abuse toward Rob and let him be the scapegoat for something he had nothing to do with, based on 15 month old comments.
2 - The club edits out Farah's comments from the infamous video in support of Mick. Deliberate or not (taking no position on that) it takes days for Mayer to front the media and admit it wasn't the best look towards Rob.
3 - Rob clearly not handling the crisis and media/supporter abuse well, takes off/is given a few days off training to get his head straight. Again, the shrieking and abuse towards him from the media and supporters begin, even though it's not unheard of for players to take a few days off for welfare reasons when needed.
4 - Galloway does the presser post the Storm game, again the media and supporter abuse towards Rob begins. After almost a day of this, Rob himself has to turn to twitter to defend himself against the BS being thrown at him, which shows it was the media guys idea, not his. Not at one point during the day did the club come out and defend him.
To summarise, yes, it's nothing but Rob playing games to try and exit the club. What has gone on has nothing to do with the entire club from the board, down to the supporters treating our club captain absoloutely [This word has been automatically removed]ing disgracefully and disrespectfully. It has nothing to do with any of that, and is all on Rob.
Could he have handled it better? He himself admitted that in hindsight yes he could have, but any suggestions that the club have treated him in any fashion other than awfully is misrepresenting what has actually transpired over the last 3 weeks.
As for the interview, who gives a shit if he got permission. Club officials and supporters don't support him, why should he do them any favours?

The point I was making is why would you give a massive TV interview if you hadn't got permission , and if you see the questions marks , that means I'm asking a question , not making a point
If Robbie is trying to make a point about something , he is not making it very clear apart from the fact he is unhappy with Mayer
You didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to work that out either

Sorry HT you are one of the more reasonable posters on here, and the annoyance in my post wasn't aimed AT you, but yes I realise it was a question but I think if people take a deep breath and look exactly at how our club captain has been treated, they will understand it really has been disgraceful.
With the interview, really why shouldn't he defend himself? No one else has other than amusingly enough … Potter. Club could have out it to bed on the Sunday the article appeared, they chose not to and everything that gas transpired since is their fault.
All this saga has done is highlight the desperate need to bring on the independent directors to hopefully bring the old incompetent dinosaurs from the foundation clubs in line.

Maybe then the club can move forward into future without this internal game playing rearing it's head every 18 months. From the board and the supporters.
& not a specific knock at Balmain or Wests either. They are all as bad as each other.

He couldve defended himself two weeks earlier, tels fibs instead and allows this to drag out, costing us a possible semis spot… he goes on TV apparently without permission, slagging the CEO (regardless of the lack of support he himself apparenlty has recieved) and thats OK with some
Sorry. Thats NOT OK.
Thats not leadership in my book
As I thought, some think he walks on water, the ostrich mentality - blind devotion, true supporter blah

Agree, he's let the team and the fans down due to his inactivity to set things straight early on. He squares it away two/three weeks ago and he doesn't have to defend himself on TV, leg it at CSS & have a day off training due to the stress of the situation.

Ink you might be right, but If I didn't know who you were talking about from our club, this could apply to anyone. He thinks he done the right thing, just like the lot of them at our club. That's why our club suffers. If anything he's the only one that's come out and defended allegations. Where are the rest of the rumour giving scum. Show some brains or some heart and usually you can pull through the tough times, but currently no brains and no heart is way in front .

Good post.
If everyone were on the same page, then the advice when sought would be the right advice…everyones on the same side and we'd probably go close to the finals.
As it stands no one really knows wtf going on....
Much like driving on the road, when everyone goes by the same road rules its generally pretty smooth motoring, but if you get one bloke that thinks he doesnt have to follow those rules, doesnt stop at stop signs or give way....near misses and accidents occur
Much like a footy club or sporting org.
If everyone from CEO to the ballboys are on the same page and go by the same rules, striving for the same goal, knowing their place in the pecking order of the org. then things go pretty smooth.
When one individual - or more- decide to go by their own rules, then we get what we have at Wests Tigers now, supporters like Craig - and there are many of them, in their condoning of farahs behaviour are in a sense supporting the dysfunction of the club.
No One person is bigger than the club
