When is he going to write his book? It will be longer than War And Peace with the axes he has to grind.

Opposite viewpoint.
Taylor was so hamstrung by Farah that the season after he got the boot he lasted 3 games!
Maybe we should be saying Thank god Farah did pipe up and this clown coach is no longer around to run the joint into the ground.
Maybe Farah was partly right about the coaches we had all along given that Ivan is doing.
Benji was part of the boys club wasn't he? Part of the problem? Under different coaches?
Look how he is under Ivan - totally different.
Strong coaches are imperative.
Not saying Farah is faultless - his time here is done - but some of the stuff being written about him is laughable borderline plain sad.

Do you think Potter deserved the sack? He was getting more out of a poor squad than I'd have expected… until some players put on a power play and virtually tanked. Saw it with my own eyes at Canberra Stadium and was sickened by the sight. And a weak board allowed it all to happen.

My overriding memory of this matter is JT scurrying down the backstairs of whatever facility he was at trying to avoid the media after being terminated.

So because they might not ever get another gig, that makes it ok?
Anyone who thinks Taylor will never get another gig is kidding themselves. He's this era's Brian Smith. Any club in need of a clean out will bring him in. Not a coach you are after to bring long term success. He's a hatchet man.

Please.
Our culture was awful under JT. He hardly cleaned the place up. He is a flog what talks a big game but delivers little.
Brian Smith is a 55% career coach who made multiple Grand Finals
JT is a 44% head coach who has never won a finals game better off suited to being a good assistant coach.
Won't be a head coach in the NRL again. Your dreaming if you think he will be.

You seem to have something personal against him, so your opinion is not exactly objective.
@ said:
Its totally irrelevant what I think Barra cause I dont get to make those decisions. The board and CEO at the time made the call not to renew Potters contract, and regardless of the conspiracy theories around why - it was and always be there call, rightly or wrongly and any anger at the decision should be solely directed at them. The board had a history of being factional, and making decisions that were not always in the clubs best interest, considering the mess they created.
As for some players directly deciding to influence others to tank a game and the players agreeing to do it, to get rid of the coach - you will have to be more explicit with the details for me to make any comment on that.
Season was derailed as soon as the GT opened his big mouth before the crtical St George game -prior to that we were starting to put together some good performances and edging toward the semis thanks to the players at the time and the coach. At that point we certainly not performimg like a side that had a problem with the coach.
