Does Farah come in?

The only changes that will be made will be forced changes. Hunt for Teddy and Brooks for JLJ. We won 3 in a row and only lost by a point yesterday when we were ordinary. I doubt Taylor is going to backdown that easily.

"backdown"? What do you mean by that?

His stance on Farah.

His stance on Farah.

His "stance" should be to pick the best 17 players the club can offer, no matter how prickly or difficult to manage any one of them might be. It is not a matter of Taylor V Farah. If it is, Taylor is starting a looooong way behind.

His stance though is that Farah is not in the best 17, agree or disagree. I don't see that changing because of a 1 point loss.
 
I feel Farah will only be selected if Halatau gets injured or if it is announced that Robbie has signed elsewhere for the 2017 season.

He publicly criticised his own club after he got dumped. Some will say it was justified, but it doesn't matter if it was or wasn't, you cannot do that. I don't see how he could possibly be picked again without apologising.

That was such a trivial thing. You should drop it and so should the club.

Its not trivial…its massive.
He basically separated himself from the club he allegedly loves.
Referring to the club and the people that make it up as "they"....
Theres no "we" with him anymore

Its us and him. Sooner hes gone, the better

Unlike you most people on here want to watch the team play semis. Farah is and always will be a tigers legend no matter what you and your mate JT try to do or say. He is in our best 17, so should be selected. Everything Farah said was true, the team is scoring points with him playing, they had won 3 out of the last 4 games he played in.

Im hoping this is all a move from up above to throw JT under a bus once we miss semis, then not activate his 1 year extension and get Cleary in here. Farah will be having fun at the rabbits, while your mate looks for another assitant coach gig.

Rankin Fullback

JAC Wing

Who plays dummy half when Halatau has a break? Please don't put ET there!

JAC can't play due to the 2nd tier cap. And Hunt will probably play fullback so Rankin can fill in at hooker.

People go on about his field goal. He kicked it after the siren when the defensive line were standing still. He could laid a blanket down and had a picnic with the time he had. He didn't have the entire defensive line charging at him.

You really don't like poor little Robbie do you? I have never seen such a one sided view on one topic/player from anyone. Fair play and all power to you very consistent.

I'm sorry my views upset you.

Not really. I like Farah and feel the method in carrying out the assassination has been amateurish.
As a fan and season ticket holder of the club I would prefer he moved on along with the oversized contract.
I also feel Taylor has the right to select his team as coach but I felt he had it right with Robbie off the bench. Conflicted would be a better way to put it but its only Footy at the end of the day.
 
Most of us on here want to make the top eight …. The best way usually to do that is to play your best team .... At the moment we are not fielding our best team .... It's that simple.

The Taylor fan club will be more than happy with 10th and tell us how we improved from second last in 2015 (forgetting taylor took us there). They will also play down this year, with all the promises of semis in 2017\. Yet just by better team selections and picking your best team we could and should be much higher than were we are.

The Farah fan club will be more than happy with another sacked coach so long as Robbie plays as many games as he likes in the style he likes . Forgetting that style hasn't seen the WTs play in the finals since 2011
You know what they say about doing the same things & expecting different results .

There are still a couple of games to go this year so let's see where we end up but if we don't make the 8 this year it's another failure for Taylor and there shouldn't be any spin about it.

He stuffed up last year. This year has been significantly better but it will probably still be another underperforming year.

The best **team** is being chosen, as demonstrated on the paddock and as talked about by the players. One legendary individual has publicly distanced himself from the **team** and is therefore rightfully being excluded.
Interesting that the players talk about the team building and the 'vibe' that now exists whereas the legend talks about himself in relation to them as an outsider.
That is how simple it really is!
