I have been a supporter of Robbie over the years but he has lost me here......

Mate, get over it. Your still there at Number 9 and we have lost more then we won with you there this year. Maybe should ask him about that.

Halfway through the season and he is beating his chest saying he doesn't forget yada yada yada. Even if he thinks that he should not be saying that in the middle of a season.

There just ego driven comments and ignorant. I don't even care if its true. Half way through the season just say no comment. We have just had a really good win and this rubbish is bought up again.

If I was the club i would consider fining him for these comments.

I have been a big fan of Robbie but I like to see how things transpire, I dont lock myself into an opinion. And Farah has lost me here, its just really un nessesary for me.
 
Just can't help himself. Obviously still having a hard time grasping the fact that someone in the club stood up to him and told him he wasn't needed. To still be dragging it up in the media 8 months later speaks volumes about his ego and the battering it took.
 
I may be wrong but what are we, 1-7 with Farah, 4-0 without him?

If I have those numbers correct even more reason to keep his ego in check and button it.

those numbers are right
 
Farah why why why???????

It really is all about you :brick:, why couldn't you tell the Journo that no questions JT related would be answered. But no :unamused: let's go back on that old Chest nut and relive it all again.

Your a tool, your in that Blues side by default and not deserved of it…...your past it and all you care about is your self interest ( always knew that anyway)

P.S Ballin was brilliant last night, quick crisp service hint hint? :smiley:
 
Just what WT need, negative press, courtesy of…............the man who says he loves Wests Tigers. Why would anyone be surprised? He demonstrated his true character a long time ago.
 
It's the by- line of "I will never forget" that wasn't warranted. The rest of the article was a reasonably refreshing honest self appraisal regarding captaincy, his approach, family and what origin means to him. Way better journalism than the fluff pieces we usually get.

But you're right. That one line will overshadow everything else he said and could ignite another media furore.

ahh yeah that's right
 
Hmm. Im not surprised. Its the reason the coach and some of the supporter base would not be disappointed to see you move on.
 
**"It's fine," Farah says of his relationship with Taylor. "But will I forget the stuff he said to me? No. I'm not going to sit here and say I've forgotten everything that happened."**
\

**"From day one I knew I hadn't done anything wrong," he continues. "I wasn't getting sacked. If I chose to stay, come November 2 when pre-season started, I would train my butt off like I do every year, and we'd see who the best hooker was at the end of the summer. If I was going to play reserve grade, it wasn't my fault."**
\

Would it have come to that? **"You're asking the wrong bloke," Farah smiles.**
\

**For all the syrupy tales we will hear in the coming days before the series opener at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday, State of Origin has deeper meaning for Farah**
\

**"I learnt a lot the year before, where I shied away from talking," Farah says. "This one, I just faced it head on and dealt with it. I knew I had done nothing wrong."**
\

**"I can't even start to tell you about the support I had: from my teammates, ex-teammates, staff, players from other clubs, just walking down the street and hearing it from fans from other clubs. People saying, 'We don't support the Tigers but what's being done to you is crap'. It felt like I wasn't just fighting a battle for myself, but fighting a battle for everyone else because everyone kind of felt like it was morally wrong what was happening."**
\

**"When I signed my contract to stay, I remember saying to my manager [Sam Ayoub] at the time, 'This will get me in trouble'. I was going to be 31, 32 on a back-ended deal. But that was the only way I could stay. Because of the cap, the only way to avoid leaving was to back-end the deal. It was always going to be a ticking time bomb."**
\

**"Standing down from the captaincy is the best decision I've ever made. It just became such a burden at a club that's been struggling for a few years, and all the other dramas that have come along with it. I was at the face of everything that went wrong and people were coming to me for answers. I didn't know the answers.**
\

**Then he laughs. "If someone asks me questions now I say, 'Go and ask Woodsy!' I'm a competitor and I love winning, but I don't wear the losses as hard as I used to. The boys will say I'm more relaxed at training. As a captain, I was an intense captain. People like that, some don't, that's just me."**
\

**"I'm professional enough to move on and understand he's the coach and I'm still playing there and I respect that," Farah says. "People have been saying we haven't been talking but that's not the case. Our relationship now is probably better than what it was last year, to be honest. But I don't forget.**

I had to get rid of the drivel to actually believe what I was reading…A lot of us wont forget either Robbie 9 months on...Club Legend...

Hope you are fired up and focused to lead the Blues to victory on Wednesday Night..rip them a new one ...
:sign:
 
Good article
Even better to see his honesty
You jokers talking about our record without Farah have got to be kidding yourself
Take a look at our record over the last 5 years and see how it stacks up
Club legend so have some respect .
 
So would we rather this all just be swept under the carpet? We all know the playing group HATE Taylor, but can't speak honestly, yet when someone is asked a question and answers it honestly we jump all over him?

Seriously! None of this will end until Taylor is gone because Farah will be gone if not after this year then after next. And our club will be worse for his departure

The man himself recognised that the contract he and his manager negotiated would be problematic at the time of signing, so why was the current situation a shock to him. Sure, the prior administration were a party to this, but they have been moved on, but sadly after they allowed the then coach whose recommendation they ignored was shown the door in terrible circumstances.

Whilst his form has been down for a fair while, that is not the major problem for a lot of us, rather what many perceive as a selfish ego driven individua, that we are happy to see gone, some as captain and others gone altogether as well. I have been of the latter opinion for a couple of years.

I wish him well playing for his supposedly beloved team, whilst sadly thinking it is now only the one that wear blue. I will remember his exploits, especially from when he was one of the very best players for a number of seasons,, but because of actions over the last few years, he has lost the title of club legend from me.
 
Give him a break guys.
This is his favourite time of the year. The only time he feels surrounded by friends. SOO. He will give his all for the Blues.
He's with a coach that really understands him. They respect each other so much.

After this it will be back to the NRL, playing every damn week.
 
This article does not surprise me Robbie it is all about me Farah does it again ..I wonder if he really thinks he is in the Origin team on MERIT .He should thank Daley who stuck his nose into club politics and selected him 6 months ago from reserve grade..feel for Ennis the real form hooker of 2016.This club and Team will be better off when this guy is long gone ..we will not have to wait long before the dummy spitting starts ,when Ballin is up to speed and shows how his influence affects the team in a positive way instead of the negativity that Farah extrudes about the club and the coach while being paid $ million a season well done maybe another article soon Robbie!

That's exactly what the Knights said about their only win
 
I think I can hear a can of worms opening. But in all honesty I'm a Farah believer but a simple 'no comment' to the reporter would have been the correct call.
