I feel quite relieved tbh.

Is this genuine and what usernames were they using?

I apologize for not giving gus credit for these pearls. That dope Johns, was trying to tell everyone that weststigers were a bunch of dunderheads and Farah was so badly done by, that it was not funny. Gould pointed out that a coach picks the team that he believes will do the job.
He was right, and you can't argue with the results.

Just come across a post from a forum member on "the roar" and thought it summed Farah up pretty well…

Correct Greg. Tedesco in form and fit gets picked ahead of those available.
On the Farah selection; I wrote comments in a David Lord article on the weekend about Farah starting from the bench for the Tigers. David was highlighting how good he was when he came on.
However, I highlighted how when Farah came on he actually played close to the way Taylor wants him to rather than his usual game. Below is a precis of my comments;
...when Farah came on he played a completely different game to what he usually plays at Wests and much different to what he plays for NSW. He actually gave the halves good quick ball without the usual pauses and hiccups while he scopes out whether he can put a play on himself. Hence the halves played really well with the extra time and better quality ball they had. He did not try to be the playmaker.
Later in the match Farah did what he used to back when Benji and Scott Prince ran the show. He used the space in the ruck to take a run and he also backed up a runner through the ruck and, because the focus was on the halves as the playmakers, as it should be, there was space for him to run and score.
In Benji’s latter years at the Tigers and each season since then, Farah has massively overplayed his role in the attack. This has been to the detriment of the side (and his halves) and the only people it looks good for are those who had him in Supercoach comps, and maybe the journos and Origin slectors who are fixated with stats rather than player impact.
If Farah played the simple clean, fast distributor role he played last night a lot more often then he’d recieve much less criticism and probably have a happy coach as well. Farah is a good player. If he can control himself and play the role for NSW that he did last night for Wests he’d be a better player…
Now it is up to Laurie Daley to show Farah the video of Friday night and tell him that is what he wants for NSW as well.

Southern Tiger, same with you, put up or shut up? Come on post up the link where JT refutes this!
@Pawsandclaws said:
I fail to see anywhere in that 'article' Taylor admitting to losing the playing group by benching Farah..you would hope people would be intelligent enough to see through a headline…
@Pawsandclaws said:
hahahah 'put up or shut up'???
Anyway,from the article you posted:
Taylor was insistent the two had a good working relationship
"It's important for the team to be harmonious, and our club really is, our players are really tight, but some tough decisions need to be made and we have to have tough conversations.

Yes because clubs are in the habit of denying every bit of rubbish published in papers. As I said, you've lost all objectivity on this topic.
The proof is in the pudding. The team put in a great performance. As Gould said, a divided team doesn't play like that.
I will take Gould's views over your bile.
