…from the club to do the Gus Gould interview?

Blocker says he didnt.

A pretty important point I think.

Ink - he doesn't need permission.
Now I wouldn't of said this 3 weeks ago -
but I've since learnt
There is Wests Tigers & there is Robbie Farah - 2 separate entities under the premise of one.
Im with you on this one.

As tigers fans we all have a right to be sensitive with this mess. We can question his emotion, perceived arrogance, decision making, whinging and lack of leadership but to suggest Robbie Farah and the Wests Tigers are "two separate entities under the premise of one" is laughable and just plain wrong. Sorry AHX but i have to disagree with you on that one

In your mind yes. In my mind no.
Live & let live Tony.

Rob's trying to get himself forced out?

No offence but I'm not gonna read that whole post but to answer your first question.
Yes, I do believe that is possible. Do you think its impossible seeing as a bit over a week ago he made repeated requests for a release? Its not the least bit possible in your mind?

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.

Edited

Yet because he doesn't individualise his comments, this is still not good enough for some sections of the shrill supporter base.

Edited

"To summarise, yes, it's nothing but Rob playing games". Whilst I certainly did not want to come to the conclusion of these, Craig's quoted words, and would like to trust and believe him, particularly as the team captain, sadly that is where I am at.

Despite not considering myself to contain any the "shrill" element alluded to, I do however, like others voice and/or type my concerns. One being that Robbie so often is purported to be connected to, if not at the epicenter of problems affecting this, our club. Little doubt that some in the media are enjoying getting to put the boot into him at the moment, but probably even less doubtful that many of their comments are well founded.

This thread, like many others on here lately is about the same one person, an individual. You are currently reading my thoughts, not that of any teammates or family, nor as a spokesperson for others on here.

Robbie needed to address the latest issues as an individual, immediately, honestly and without any political speak. Had he done so it would most likely have been fish & chips wrapping a fortnight ago
 
With the exception of a worthless statement from Chairman Mike Bailey, has anyone heard anything from ANY member of the board about ANYTHING?

CEO Mayer has been delayed in many responses in the last few weeks…...

When the coach and the captain are the front line and have no support from others, then I think I'm happy for them to run the on field team as they see fit. No one else seems to give a rats, and it appears no one is prepared to make a decision despite being able to make decisions, but they're too gutless.

And if that means a press interview with Farah or with Potter with anyone they wish whenever they want to, then under these ridiculous circumstances, then I think its fine!

Good point, It appears that Farah has tried to keep out of this from day one, but the lack of any leadership in the club has placed him in this position. Yes he could have come out and supported Potter weeks ago, but should he?

The issue here isn't Farah, while he could of handled it better, he shouldn't have to handle it at all, don't we just want our players to just play? The problem is our administration hasn't done their bit and are still not doing enough/much to take the pressure of the players and coach.

The tin foil hat brigade are gathering

No one can answer the question….and people here talk about accepting mediocrity. Same people dont even realise they support it.

To even ask your question you rely on Blocker as your source? Give me a break.

Discrediting Roach doesnt answer the question.

Roach has discredited himself on so many occasions, one may well think that this topic is not much more than a beat up designed to bring discredit upon Robbie Farah. In my opinion, Robbie would buy and sell Blocker for credibility.

So, yes, I think that Blocker's credibility (or lack thereof) goes a long way towards answering the question.

Your opinion of Roach sways your thinking which is fair enough, but him having permission is either wrong or right.
Our opinions/guesses dont really count.
 
As for the interview, who gives a s*** if he got permission. Club officials and supporters don't support him, why should he do them any favours?

He is the Captain. He's not the General.
 
Here's the facts of the matter,
-Robbie had permission from the coach
-Mayer knew about it and didn't say anything
-Roach's comments were toxic and served no purpose other than to undermine Robbie
-Robbie in his time of need had absolutely no support from the club and in fact when he approached Mayer for help .Mayer responds by doing the exact opposite which makes Robbie look like an idiot
I see a pattern here
Some here have directed their attention to Robbie to fulfill their personal agenda. What about Mayer? What about blocker?

No your sights are solely fixed on Robbie , come on people grab your pitchforks, let's burn Robbie at the stake. Some of you should work for CNN or CBS,

No, him having permission is irrelevant. What is relevant is why Roach is attempting to undermine Farah, something which he has done previously.

We seem to be falling into line with Roach's agenda instead of questioning why he would make these comments.
 
Not long ago people were praising Blocker for the work he was doing with the forward pack…...people need to stop reading newspapers otherwise this will drag on longer than Young And The Restless

Facts?
First Ive heard of these facts…have you got something to support your facts?

Falling into line?

Youve made your mind up based believing roach has an agenda as opposed to an opinion. It seems like youhave an agenda against him….not real open minded there.
Maybe there is something to what he's saying.
If there is...then Robbie doing something without permission is hardly irrelevant, its a small piece of the big problem this club is dealing with....people doing their own thing.

Yet still some will support it if it suits their own view ( or agenda)

Anyway we're going round in circles, crusader reckons he has the facts ...just waiting for corroboration now.
