@Geo. said:Robbie Farah denies reports he’ll take legal action against Wests Tigers
STAFF WRITERSSource: FOX SPORTS
UPDATE: Robbie Farah has denied reports that he is set to sue the Wests Tigers, as the long-running saga twists towards a conclusion.
With Farah looking increasingly likely to leave the club this off-season, Rugby League Week reported the former club captain had taken legal advice and was set to sue his long-time club for harassment in the workplace.
According to the report, sources close to Farah revealed he was set to launch a claim that he has been bullied and harassed by club officials.
The report also stated Farah was likely to claim his long-running feud with Tigers coach Jason Taylor has caused him depression-like issues

However, that report was denied by Nine News, who reportedly contacted Farah on Sunday afternoon and were told he would not be going down that path.
Nine also reported that several law firms had contacted Farah offering to take up the case but those offers had so far been rejected by the 32-year-old.
Farah was dropped to reserve grade last month as Taylor finally made good on a threat posed to the former club captain last off-season when Farah was told he was free to find another club.
A season-ending injury to Matt Ballin and second-tier salary cap issues preventing the club from calling on young gun Jacob Liddle had earlier made that possibility appear unlikely but as the Tigers made a charge towards the top eight, Taylor cut the veteran soon after Origin and he hasn’t been back in first grade since.
It was the latest twist in a saga that has stretched over the best part of 12 months, as the Tigers attempt to rebuild their roster without a player currently soaking up a whopping $950,000 of the club’s salary cap.
Taylor’s decision to dump Farah to NSW Cup looks likely to bring that rebuild forward by a year, with speculation growing stronger that Farah will leave the club in the off-season.
Farah dropped out of the Tigers NSW Cup team last week due to a virus and has reportedly been absent from training for much of the past week.
He has been named to start in the No.9 jersey to play in the Tigers’ NSW Cup side against Newcastle at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.
Farah still has one year to run on his contract but has been strongly linked with a move to the Rabbitohs.
With fellow veteran hooker Mick Ennis retiring Cronulla are also understood to be a possible home for Farah in 2017.

That was great to read. Now the question becomes is the club really acting with absolutely no integrity and leaking BS to the media or did the media just make this up ?

Lots of silence now. Farah and Ayoub get hung whenever a story that has their smell on it come out. This definitly smells of something leaked by the club. So is it ok for them to play the media game, because if it has come from them its nothing short of disgraceful. Pascoe, its time to earn that lovely pay cheque you get every month.

The several law firms who rang RF offering to take up the case were cold calling were they ?

The report was denied by Farah. Its an article based on rumour. Unless you know otherwise??? If so, please enlighten us.

Farah speaks directly to the media. Ayoub speaks directly to the media. Anyone who has followed rugby league journalism for any length of time knows that Weidler is an Ayoub lapdog. The source is obvious in each case.
There is no obvious link between the RLW article and the club. Marina Go works for Bauer Media, so what? She works as a GM and Publisher of sections of Bauer Media that are completely unrelated to RLW.
The club have not used the media as a weapon over the past year. There is nothing for them to gain by doing it now and I don't see any basis for thinking it was them behind the story. Why would they have inside knowledge on whether he was going to commence legal action against them anyway? Try thinking about things for a bit rather than making completely tenuous leaps…

Not to mention the stage of the season. We're still in contention, why fuel rumors in the media that distracts the playing group.
Whatever is going on, we can all pretend we know, but no one here really does. I just think the club needs to end this saga. Whether its releasing him to the rabbits or paying him out, its dragged on way too long.
