Yeah,there is something major in the background,like the Wolfman saga at Manly the real truth will probably never see the light of day.

I'm less concerned about how much cash we pay. For me, what's more important is how much cap space we free up. If, say, Souths have to carry Robbie under the cap at, say, $450k (irrespective of how much they are actually paying him) then, presumably, we are saving $450k on our cap (ie we would be carrying Robbie at $500k under the cap, even though we are actually paying an extra $250k).

I was wondering if there was any truth of the claimed psychological effect on Robbie that the Club were trying to avoid being blamed on them. So they gave in to prevent more complications. But have thought a few times that a few posters here have inside knowledge from the Club of action about to be taken and the posters may be used to soften the response to the Club's actions. Only guessing.
Watching the semis and how refreshing it is to see hookers, run, kick and pass. Unlike the coach of the Tigers only wanted a passing game from dummy half. So one dimensional. He has never been an inovative leader or coach.
Good luck Robbie you will add more value elsewhere and be more appreciated wherever you end up.

PLEASE RESPECT THE MODS
Silence speaks volumes as Farah departs Tigers
Wests Tigers chair Marina Go is media savvy, it's her bread and butter. She is general manager of the Bauer-Hearst brands Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Cosmopolitan. Which makes it hard to explain recent posts on social media.
Go has backed Tigers coach Jason Taylor — in the boardroom and in public — in his bid to move Robbie Farah on from the Tigers. A few weeks ago she liked a post from News Corp's Scott "Boo" Bailey, a cartoon of Mitchell Moses as the next big thing, ushering in a new era in Tiger town, replacing Farah. It was an odd move from a club chair, not one you'd see from a Nick Politis or a Ray Dib.
Go then sat back and watched her management team allow Farah to be dumped from the Tigers' top 17, an incredible move made even harder to comprehend when Luke Brooks and James Tedesco were ruled out with injuries, leaving the Tigers in need of a bench player who could cover dummy half. But there was no Farah and no 250-game milestone.
Late last Saturday night, before the final game of the home-and-away season, the Tigers announced Farah was leaving the club and that there would be a farewell at Leichhardt Oval the next day. Someone must have forgotten to tell Go.
Her post on social media on Sunday was pointed, failing to acknowledge Farah in a message that read, "Post-game celebration for @denehalatau", with a picture of fans gathering to farewell him. Even if that moment was for Dene Halatau, some recognition for a one-club man who helped deliver the joint venture's one and only premiership would have been fair.
Go was pulled up about it on social media and was shamed into having to acknowledge Farah. Farah and Halatau were acknowledged at the team's awards night on Wednesday, but those there said it was underwhelming. Go did not talk to Farah on the night to thank him for his service and did not wish to comment.

Well she should at least be polite about the situation, it just sounds spiteful coming across like this.

If there is a reason for the snub I can only guess if there was any truth in what Tiger Torch was saying a few weeks earlier and probably still reported here. Not that I give any credence to it as have no idea. If that is not the reason then leaves question marks.
She backed a loser that night anyway - Mitch's stars did not align that night and Robbie was the only one who could justifiably were a smile.

No one outside the club really knows what went on, but it seems that there is more to it than money and performance…
Agree with Willow though, even if they are at odds, the class act for Go if she is acknowledging Halatau would be to acknowledge Farah as well.
Has Farah previously received the Life Member endorsement that Rowdy and Halatau received? If not, maybe that is a shot at him as well...
Maybe those directing the hate at Taylor regarding Farah are looking in the wrong direction...

I can't stand JT, I think he's a terrible coach and I want him gone but I would never ever hope we lose or hope we are unsuccessful just to get rid of him.
