Wests Tigers skipper Robbie Farah has taken aim at club management over their poor recruitment and retention strategies.

Wests’ approach to player management has been one of the key reasons behind their fall from grace as a NRL powerhouse and that was again highlighted on Friday night when a number of ex-Tigers starred in the Cronulla Sharks’ win over their former club.

Barnstorming NSW Origin prop Andrew Fifita constantly terrorised the Tigers defence in a man-of-the-match effort in the 36-22 victory and he was ably supported by his former teammates at the joint venture Bryce Gibbs and Chris Heighington as all three players ran for over 100m.

While one-time prized recruit Adam Blair again struggled for the Tigers making just five hit-ups and 38m in 80 minutes.

Winger Beau Ryan is another former Tiger who has prospered at the Sharks but sat out the match with a leg injury.

Farah described the Tigers’ approach to player retention as “ridiculous” and said it needed to be vastly improved.

while i agree with him he really needs to stfu.
is he now the ceo.
tired of hearing players opinions on everything.
no other team carries on like our players do.
 
I get his frustration, but this is appalling to have a Club Captain make such comments in the media about Confidential/Internal Matters… Dont look now Robbie, but this is a perfect example why this club lacks professionalism!

I'd expect Robbie to cop a clip across the head by Mayer for these comments.

Hes between a rock & a hard place.
He HAD to toe the line when Humpty Dumpty and Sheenius were in charge, put spin on everything - lie through his teeth so as not to upset the apple cart

At least hes telling it as it is now

Its what marquee players do, go on radio & TV programs.
 
He was answering a question posed on radio, and was referring not necessarily to all the choices made ,but they way in which things were handled by PAST management.
Reading between the lines he was aiming up at Sheens and Humphreys if anyone.
 
Agree watto,
But we keep hearing about our poor management decisions.
There seems to be a huge problem there
Maybe the players are so frustrated with management, this is the only way to get through to them.
Lets hope Mayer can pull the problem people aside & convince them to do what best for wests tigers.
From where I sit (on the outside& have no clue as to how the place is run) it _appears_ we need need a huge restructure throughout the board & management.
It would be nice to have a wests tigers board, but I believe the constitution says we have 50/50 split wests/balmain.

My brother has worked in management in clubs for years & he says that many on the board are great people, who run a small business, but have no idea how to run a club. Many have an agenda or self preservation, which makes them not make the best decision for the club.
I wonder if this is happening at WT? In my opinion, It seems so.

In saying this, I believe the players should be professional & rise above the background malaky.
 
Lack of professionalism? He's stating his opinion on the way the management has handled events in the past few years. I think it's perfectly justified, it's not like he's insulting them on a personal level or making FALSE claims.

In any case, with potter and mayer they seem to have sorted out most stupid decisions, tonnes of good (re-)signings and letting miller and pettybourne good was a nice start.

Didnt see Marshall on the footy show and **_if_** the club is down NOW, he was talking about last year and previous years, not NOW
Hes not insulting the club….hes merely saying what happened
 
There's nobody shocked by his opinions. Everyone knows it the truth.

Also, having a crack at the previous management's mistakes is tacit approval of the current management. Hopefully he has faith we're not going to be doing that again.

it's more about what effect his comments have on the rep of the WT- negative one for sure.

Who cares?
I for one am very happy the truth about the shambles that was the past is now being told to the greater community…many here knew what was going on, more here preferred to stick their heads in the sand or up their arses and pretend everything was rosy....truth hurts.

As Masterton said, its more a positive endorsement on the CURRENT management and future
 
so u dont care if negative rep falls upon tigers?

afaik u were the one going on about the whole moltzen saga.

in the end, it's not a good look on the club whether he' talking about previous or current management- he's achieved ntothing by criticising them now other than make us look like a basket case

u and i may analyse it a lot, but most others dont. he shouldn't have said that
 
Most others that dont analyse things closely like us on here, those that take everything players say literally… they finally hear from the (C) what their club was like.
He has dismissed the past and endorsed the future....if it takes a small black eye to achieve that then I believe the positives in future will outweigh any minor negatives that will blow over in a day or two
 
Farah has no business talking in house business he is the captain of the team not the Ceo or a board member ..personally I find this not a good look and lacks leadership qualities great leaders also now there place . When a question is raised ..no comment or its not my place to reply easy . As with another pull your heads in a do what you are paid for simple!
