Farah to SOUTH SYDNEY in 2017..OFFICIAL..

[stevetiger]

Under oath did you Mr Farah say Mr Potter could not coach .. Bring it on!

Who cares. He is entitled to talk a little bit of crap if he wants too. It's not a big deal.

How many times at work does someone state the boss has no idea. I wonder if Potter even cared.

Some of you guys are so soft.

You're right. Noone did care.
Until farah skipped the dressing room after a game and went straight home, skipped a week of training and then turned up to the next game telling the coach he didn't want to play.
That's when fans cared. Noting to do with the action, but his over reaction.
I think you'll find farah is the soft one.

I think Robbie is soft. He should be handling this a lot better but he appears to be a spoilt little brat.

At the same time so is anyone who states the comment that Robbie said "Potter can't coach" and thinks it's a big deal at all. It is absolutely meaningless and would have no relevance at all if Robbie actually went to court over this. It has no relevance at all in relation to anything let alone court.

And what if there,s things that we don't know about here. (I know that that's very unlikely), but is a teenie chance, despite our zealous search for the truth .
If by a chance that there is , and the club has things to answer for in their dealings with Farah.
Do you still think that it's end of story for the clubs perspective?
Or is Farah not entitled to take them to court if he feels the need to
Without any of us geniuses deciding who is right and who is wrong& who is right.
Last I heard, this was still a country where we had the right to go to court to fight something if we feel it was wrong.
So if one of us completely uninformed bystanders has proof that the club hasn't done anything that it can be sued for, please let us know.
Maybe some of the experts on everything can apply to be the judge

A lot of if's and but's in this post…

It's pretty simple really
It's mainly a question, if anyone one has proof that the club hasn't done anything that it can be sued for( in this whole thing) please let us know
Just asking for proof, something that is very light on most of the time

I, for one, don't question RF's right to sue (his beloved) Wests Tigers (that he bleeds for). If he has the evidence to prove that he has been bullied, then he is within his rights to.
It's his reputation.
Is it all about doing whatever he can for his beloved club? Is it all about pride? Is it all about the money? Whatever it is, it will all go on show. Step right up folks welcome to the greatest show on earth. He can't hide in a court room.

heres a "wild" thought…..

maybe this action or intention to act is merely a way to force the club to once and for all make a decision on his future ?

anyone know how much a Qc costs ?
anyone know how much taking a matter like this to the courts will cost ?
The parramatta club recently spent upwards of 500K challenging the nrl, and that was 1 1/2 sittings in the actual court room

Farah's manager - sure a lot of you dont like the guy, but hes as up to speed as they come.
im quite sure he would have legal advisors that would challenge the club - based on everything thats happened to date, threats of reserve grade, this whole team cohesion rubbish, SOO this year etc etc etc
.......... and have a minimum of a 50/50 chance of succeeding

In legal worlds this means - they are forcing to the club to make a decision that will reduce their legal bill, reduce the matter continuing in the public domain and - everyone would hope - ending this merry go round once and for all

if not, the club could end up paying his contract out, paying a massive legal bill + his (if he wins costs) annnnnnnd ongoing medical treatment costs.

mental health issues are a big deal in our game at the moment ....

wow ! what a debarcllllllllllllllllle

whos got the popcorn, this could actually become a bigger circus than whats its been

50/50 is a fair assumption in this matter…

Imagine losing and being forced to pay millions in legal cost of his own and Wests Tigers?!

Its his last play... Simple as that.

One thing for certain if this does happen. No other club will touch him!

Everyone appears to be assuming RF is taking this action.

Not necessarily. The article does say "is considering", but it sets up a good 'what if' though doesn't it?

This is a form of fallacious argument known as an argument from silence. You are trying to draw a conclusion from the absence of evidence rather than the existence of evidence. It doesn't actually make either position any more valid than the other.

 

[tiga4eva]

If Farah goes down this path then it will be time for a few of his team mates to stand up and say whats really going on. Taylor has taken it all on his shoulders to protect his players, but if the truth comes out Farah will realise he has very little support.

What truth ? Seriously I want to know. It sounds to me exactly like what Robbie states has happened - i.e. he is being bullied out because he costs too much money.

I don't like Robbie but I think he is the best hooker in the club and I would play him. He will be gone in a seasons time anyway. I just think that this is all stupid.

yep thats really it in a nutshell !

we've all been cought up in the JT vs Farah crap and whos fault and what he said and did and blah blah blahhhhhhh

but at the end of the day….its money. its always been about how much they have to pay him and were really just hoping hed walk away from it

It was so stupid to pay him so much money for 4 seasons. How freaken dumb was that decision. Honestly it's nearly as dumb as the way they've handled the situation now.

This is all a shambles and the club should sack anyone who is somewhat involved in this situation because anyone that dumb should be shot. I mean sacking them is the least that should happen.

Mick Potter also thought it was a dumb decision, and Robbie blew up at him and that was the end of his Coaching career,remembering we were running 5th at the time. That's why Farah gets no sympathy from me.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

It is an interesting what if but my comment related to who (if it eventuates) is taking the action, the individual or is it another body. Unions often represent their members in workplace issues.

 

[Telltails]

I am not surprised by this. If the club want Farah out so bad pay him out and let him go. Clearly they don't want to absorb the full worth of his contract - understandable- but if no other club is offering what they want and they refuse to release him, and or select Farah in FG regardless of form - then they are restricting Farahs ability to play for anyone else in the top tier competition.
Whether you like him or not he is a first grade player and is in our top seventeen - so why is he not being selected?
I mentioned this a while ago and got shouted down - he is clearly being treated differently.
Had a feeling something was brewing.

:blah :blah :blah :blah

Boring.

 

[tigers2005]

I reckon he's agreed to join the rabbits, and the tigers and rabbits cant come to an agreement on how much they are willing to subsidise of his contract. This article is all heresay and rumour, nothing factual about it. So unless its something concrete, everyone keep your pants on. Be assured though if this does happen, it wont only damage farah it will damage the club, because im sure text messages, emails, meetings… it will all come out. If the tigers arent willing to release him , then for godness sake pay him his $950k and let me be on his way.

 

[TYGA]

Im pretty sure Weidler will come u with a corner story in the SMH tomorrow. Leaking this only makes him look bad I assume its from the club as I posted earlier the club is connected through bauer Media to RLW and the Australian Newspaper. Its all politics I wish we weren't involved in.

Agree, it's pretty simple … Just pay him out !
Tigers management are a basket case .

 

[haberfield_tiger]

This has been going on for 5 yrs now. I hope he goes so we can all move on.. Club legend or not he has tarnished his brand.. I think its quite clear Moses and brooks don't want him at the club.. these two boys have killed it since Robbie has been dropped. For the sake of everyone i hope its all settled ASAP but im sure in tomorrows paper there will be another rubbish story about how poorly managed the tigers are and how poor Robbie has been hard done by.

Unions don't represent people getting paid $950k a year … unless they're corrupt Union officials ...

Farah set to sue the Tigers

By Tony AdamsAugust 27, 2016

THE Robbie Farah saga is set to take a sensational turn with the star hooker considering taking legal action against Wests Tigers for harrassment in the workplace.

Sources close to Farah have told RLW that the Blues State of Origin hooker has reached the end of his tether and has barely been seen at the club for training this week.

Farah has sought legal advice and is believed to be set to launch a claim that he has been bullied and harrassed by club officials.

Farah is also likely to claim that his long-running feud with coach Jason Taylor has caused him depression-like issues.

Farah has been involved in a bitter war with Taylor over his position in the top grade all season.

He was due to play for the Tigers in the NSW Cup last weekend but pulled out of the team at the last minute, allegedly because of a virus.

Farah has a year to run on his contract with the Tigers but has been in talks with Souths for 2017.

Meany's

Wow, I don't know why I'm surprised.. The sooner he leaves the better. Looks like he's trying to take the club down with him though. Not confirmed as true, but I wouldn't put this kind of stuff past him..

I didn't read an article Uate suing the Knights….Or Stewart suing the Eagles....or Soward or Taylor suing the Panthers...what does the Farah & Ayoub show get off on...?.

Nah me neither, but I have read an article about Tim Sheens suing the Tigers in the recent past. Different person, same club….hmmmm.

I agree. Clearly no one else wants a state of origin hooker real cheap (god knows why that could be), so pay him out.

With the condition that he is not able to play for any other first grade team in any competition anywhere in the world.

Why would you pay him out to go somewhere and earn additional income? Or you can continue to play where the club tells you to (as the employer).

Its Robbies call…...

 

[clokan]

I think its quite clear Moses and brooks don't want him at the club.. these two boys have killed it since Robbie has been dropped.

I don't see it that way, not saying its not the case, just haven't seen any concrete proof they want him gone. I don't agree that Brooks has "killed it", don't see any improvement from him while Moses has shown a significant improvement, but is still developing

 

[NT_Tiger]

Its all good entertainment anyway. Look at the run we've got out of it here already before anything's even happened.
Maybe we should take off our orange, black and white glasses and look at it this way - 'Robbie the entertainer'. He really should ditch this joint and go into media.
Cue 'Benny Hill' theme.

That's a strange way of looking at things - if Farah has made those allegations then surely it is up to him to provide proof that can then be investigated. Why on earth would the club come forward to prove they haven't done anything.

The club have said if he stays he'll be paid, so I can't see where any legal action can be taken.
Sure… There's moral and ethical issues here... Don't think this applys to litigation
