Farah wants out..

Take it with a grain of salt but on tonight's channel 9 news Danny Weidler reported that the official interview on the wests tigers website that Farah did on Saturday was highly edited by our CEO. A large part of what Farah said in support of Potter was left out.
Weidler reported that Farah and Potter had another meeting today and they are sweet but both are wanting answers on why Farahs full statement of support was not included on the official website.
Weidler also said the board would be grilling Mayer what he was trying to achieve by editing the statement.

Mayer may well be responsible for this whole thing, but I can't help but feel he may have been used as a scapegoat. The board hired him, the same incompetent wankers that have been present for all our previous disasters as well. Funny how the CEO changes and yet we still have the same old problems.
 
i doubt the board has anything to do with this. they're all a bunch of lazy as buggers and if they were as smart as to edit out farah's interview, we would be in a much better place. they're all dumb
 
I warned many about Mayer. I'll say it again. Good CEOs operate out of the limelight. Good CEOs aren't recycled, there unearthed.

Out of curiosity, how many NRL CEOs are there tweeting info to their supporters?

the way i see it is that the same members of our board who didn't want Potter to start with have been the same people trying to oust him from the very start.. the media has taken a hold of this and tried to dramatise it by hinting at player revolts led by the senior playing group, i.e. robbie (given his history with the sheen's sacking). there has been absoutely no evidence of a player revolt, and on the contrary they have come out and stated they want nothing to do with any decision regarding the coach. The media will do anything to make a dollar, especially the telecrap and it's f-wit employees and sadly people for some reason are led to believe them without any sunbstantial evidence our quotes..

in essence i think we are currently an amateur club because we are run by amateur "business people" who have no bloody idea. The sooner the new board is put in place, the better the future will be on and off the field.

**the question i have is, will the board be restructured completely with new board members or will the current board remain with the addition of the ARLC affiliated directors ?**

The new Board will consist of 2 Wests Ashfield Directors 2 BRLFC Directors and 3 independent NRL appointed Directors…the BRLFC directors will have no voting rights until they repay the debt to the NRL...

I've just stumbled across, and read, yet more rumours. I won't quote or reference them so as to dignify them but, they said things that had me thinking. The more I thought, the more I remembered this post.

To ease my concerns about this club, I'd like to hear Farah give a direct endorsement of Potter as coach. No fluffing around, no double speak but a direct endorsement as above.
I'd then like to hear the Board make a similar direct endorsement and offer a contract extension.
 
farah hasnt said anything about next year- nobody has said anything about next year. next year is too far, the new board will take care of that.

what farah has been quite vocal about and so has the board/ceo is that potter's job is safe this year. that's all that should matter for now. i doubt potter is having 500K offers from other clubs anyway

You won't hear that from Farah I don't reckon !
Why would Tallis lie ? What would he gain from it ?
Farah's just back pedalling IMO .
We all say stuff we regret later that's why Robbie is fuming !
In saying this I'd rather Potter go and keep Farah !

Neither tallis or farah are lying..
There was a conversation between robbie and tallis at the mmm studios last season where robbie agreed that potter was struggling (at the time).
Tallis is just an idiot who was pushed into a corner and as per usual whilst struggling to put a sentence together dramatised the whole thing by suggesting robbie claimed "potter can't coach" in general.
Neither are lying, tallis is just a dope and we are seeing the impact a few to many head knocks can have on an already malfunctioning brain and the subsequent effects of trying to use that same brain in a public domain.
 
Then why can't he come out and say that

How hard is it

" I wasn't happy with the way that Mick was coaching at times last season but things have changed and he has had a positive effect on the club as a whole "

"I totally support Mick and hope he gets a contract extension into the future "

Does Robbie have an "Arthur Fonzerelli " complex , can't admit he isn't always right that he is occasionally wrrrrrrong .

Well he did have Sheens AKA 'The Fonz' as a mentor for 10 years…
 
Quote hobbo "In saying this I'd rather Potter go and keep Farah !"
I don't think that addresses the problem though. If the management of this club was functioning as it 'should', we would keep both.
Both Farah and Potter are employees of the club. Neither is above reproach (or at least shouldn't be). Someone above them in the management structure should have sorted this out a long time ago. (Based firstly on the assumption there is something to sort and secondly that if Tallis heard something, somebody in management heard it too.)
The coach doesn't have to be liked by the players, and shouldn't look to be, but he does have to be respected if he is to function. Respect takes time and an open mind. It does not come from a quick judgement but a consideration of lots of factors, some of which you may not like or fully agree with. It interests me that lots of people, including experts, appear to have gained a lot of respect for Mick Potter while he has coached at Wests Tigers.
It has been said before, but here it is again; Tigers management problems won't be resolved by sacking (or failing to extend) Mick Potter. That would just result in a new coach looking over his shoulder and risk managing his own seat and or a coaching merry-go round. In my view Tigers management shouldn't have to sack anyone, but if someone is unhappy they are free to go.

just on that i have this theory that if sheens hadn't stroked robbie and benji's ego from the start, we would've seen many more successful years. from many here i've seen posts that farah has been egoistic and self involved from the day he came to first grade and im sure sheens knew it.

no facts here, just a theory though
 
What makes people think Robbie Farah has a bigger ego than any other of the senor club captains in the NRL ie JT, Gallen, Jared Hayne, just to name a few who have a long history with one club.? Its Robbies attitude, ego, competitiveness, hate of losing. and lets not forget loyalty to the Wests Tigers whatever you want to call it that makes him the player that he is, and sets him apart from the also rans. All the elite club captains/and players carry some weight at their clubs because if they don't you lose them to other clubs. For the wealthy clubs that may not be a such a problem, but for the Wests Tigers we don't replace them. Get off the negative about Robbie he has done a lot more for the West Tigers than the unproven Mick Potter and yet we have supporters carrying on like he is our saviour. Good playing rosters bring success and if that means dealing with an ego - so be it.
 
I cannot believe People ar putting shit on Robbie…..by far our greatest player....bleeds regularly for this club...loyal as hell and the biggest competitor we have ever had.

Hates losing and does everything he can for us to win.

He has earned his stripes to say whatever he wants about whomever.

The way the media has jumped all over him is despicable and mostly without any facts whatsoever.

Whats even worse is tiger fans turning on him as well.....IMo its an absolute disgrace and our captain and heart and soul of this club deserves far better.

Rant over.
 
I think everyone here is loyal. The difference is who you're loyal to. The club is where your loyalty lies, the players and those who run it are secondary, cos they come and go, the club doesn't
