Farah/Taylor Thread...

[Eddie]

As a fan of this club I'm embarrassed.
We have so much leaked s*** to the media it's hard to fathom why anyone else follows this train wreck.
Laurie Nicolls would be turning in his grave.

If by "We" you mean Sam Ayoub and Robbie Farah you would be correct, if you mean the Tigers club you would be incorrect.

As for the article the crap about JT starting it all up again ummm Farah was in the Herald over Origin saying I'll never forget what happened to me poor wo is me

Funny then how many people hang out out for one "insider report, which , if true, has to be THE biggest leak of the clubs history , Most are only too happy to find out the alledged going ss on inside the club.
Double standards perhaps ?
It's only your opinion (accurate or not) that Ayoub has leaked anything
Weidler is completely avccurate in saying that Farah didn't get involved with the media last week. Where's your proof that anyone did.
Why shouldn't give an honest answer to a reporter, he only said he'd never forget, being rested, hardly inflammatory at all, it's all about money , and Taylor is out of his league.

This is what amuses me the most to be honest.

Some salivate over the inside info.

And if its a negative Farah article, well then its all true and Robbie this and that is ruining the club.

If its an article of a different light its Farah "leaking" stuff to put pressure on others and all a campaign.

So now Woods and Taylor also don't get along ? Throw in Farah and Moses and Brooks only signing a one year extension in contracts, there seems to be one common denominator in all this.

Sure some will say the reporter is a tool, but whatever the problem is either Pascoe or the board needs to sort something out sooner rather than later.

The common denominator is that all of these blokes have come through playing under a captain who thinks he runs the club, has no respect for coaches and likes to play games through the media. There is the other side of the story that Moses and Brooks want out because Farah runs the show and overules their calls on the field.

Gee Woods, Moses and Brooks looked unhappy when Robbie Scored.

But your right the halves want out they dont want to play with Robbie

They all want out thats why they just re signed !!

Logic 101

The love and respect the team have for their former captain, was obvious for all to see, when all the boys ( not just a few) swarmed him when they rushed in to congratulate him. Their faces ecstatic with pride and joy. Loved it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think you are in denial, I think Taylor has a lot to answer for.

It was interesting hearing Brooks, Moses and Tedesco state the difference Robbie made when he came on. They must all hate him so much.

100% correct. Taylor is to blame for a lot of this stuff happening. It was extremely poorly handled.

 

[magpiecol]

If there was trouble in the camp, they would not have played like they did. No way.

It's called a beatup.

Ignore.

And another thing, if a coach takes notice of the fans in the stands, it won't be long before he joins them.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Thanks for that Col, we're all reassured now everything is okay and JT has arranged a cook out for the squad.

Your fourth sentence is nearly word for word from that stated by Phil Gould on Friday night.

Doesn't matter that cols repeating Gus… who's quote was Gus repeating Paws?

Never a truer word was spoken

I'd still like to know why it's such of an affront to start Farah from the bench and why is it viewed by the media and large section of fanbase as a plot to force him out…

Can someone explain that...?

It seemed to work quite well against Soiff's

 

[Eddie]

Its pretty unusual for an Origin starter to be on the bench for their club side.

Who else starting origin was demoted to the bench

Of course the media are going to be all over it

Not saying it is 100% wrong but you can understand the hype.

Probably because outside of the Cowboys (you know, the reigning premiers with the gun hooker) no other team in recent history has started their first choice hooker from the bench.

Typically you pick your best players in the starting side. You also typically pick your SOO players in your starting side.

Robbie is easily our best hooker and he is still one of the best hookers in the game. He should be starting.

I'm cool with it so long as we win games. It's not a big deal but I don't think it helps our team and it definitely causes a whole bunch more palava to come from the media and the Robbie is the devil posters on here.

Issac Luke at Souff's and the Warriors, James Seggy (even under Cleary) and as you point out Glanville (a lot this year: have started on the bench..so I wouldn't say it's un- precedented…

Other Origin Players Sam Thaiday a starter in Origin comes off the bench for his Club side...often..Klemmer until recent times

It's a 17 man Game..Eddie ..Why is it viewed as a demotion to play off the Bench..it's often said how much we struggle in the middle parts of games Farah being on the field in these times would benefit the team one would think...

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

It would have been interesting if the scoreline would have been the other way whilst Farah was still benched as could easily be the case next time if the same routine persists. I don't expect it to - not against the STorm.

 

[Squaddy]

Why didn't Taylor make this call when announcing the squad on Tuesday? That's the weirdest part of this whole issue.

 

[Telltails]

Yep. Its no surprise they are nearly always biased in favour of one party. It sure aint JT leaking.

\
Why dance around it just tell us what you really think?

Of course.

Its all Robbie!!!

All these negative articles are because he is behind the scenes texting and ringing these blokes every day!!

What would Pascoe or Gould know?

They say Its just the media drumming it up to fill the pages but dont let it get in the way of your conspiracys please!!

Thats the thing about leaks we choose to believe the ones that we agree with, and denounce and question the credibilty of the source that we disagree with.

Eddie, as I said, I don't have a particular interest either way as long as we play good. But I cant see why the club would leak or comment etc.

So from your point of view, clearly as a Farah supporter, why not just tell us why the media would do this and who is 'leaking' from the club and for what purpose. If you don't think it is Farah or his camp, just explain why the club or others who might have an agenda might make comment.

Seriously, if you have a differing opinion to others, I'm open to it it mate.

What has been "leaked" here??

Woods might not get on with Taylor. A pathetic article really based on no real facts.

However if you want to talk about "leaks"…...

Who" leaks" the articles that Robbie and Benji had a feud??

Or that Robbie hated Potter and wanted him out?

Robbie has had plenty of bad press. And when he does its all matter of fact with some fans. It is not a "leak" but a fact the article is true and Farah is torn to shreds. But the articles that spin a positive light on Farah are "leaks"

You cant have it both ways.

Like someone said 30-14 was a good answer on Friday night.

No weirder than any other coach who names his team on Tuesday and makes changes on game day. It's a common practice used by every coach in the game. There's nothing weird about it.

One better, Jennings was selected from state cup in 2012 and stayed there…. From A coach who a lot of people want to replace jt.

That sounds even dumber than the Robbie call but let's be honest it is pretty close.

Wasn't it JT himself who came out to the press with this statement

Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor admits he is on the verge of losing the playing group after failing to guarantee Robbie Farah the starting No.9 jersey.

And wasn't it JT who made the statement about competition for spots when our best 9 is a SOO player. That was openly ridiculed yesterday on Ch9 admittedly by journalist but still not a good look for the WTs.
