Hater's gonna hate, hate, hate

[Blaze]

But why are they b/s reasons? He isn't playing the hooker role like the coach wants him to play. And by all reports isn't willing to. Which is going against what the coach wants… If he had done so he would still be in the team.

So scoring 30 plus points, and servicing the halves with early ball in the last 2 game were against the game plan ?

No, it was fine, but after watching how much more involved the halves were last game, there was a clear difference. Obviously things are going to get better with a proper hooker instead of dean and co. But surely you could see the difference in the halves being left with no option but to take control? Which is what this move is about… Sure you can go down the easy path and believe it's personal, but I'm not so sure the club would go through this backlash if it was the reason.

You don't think the Quality of the opposition had a slight bit to do with it . It was as bad as ours if ET is not playing

You can only play what's in front of you. I don't care who we are playing, all it means was our forwards had an easier job getting a roll on and creating space for our halves… The aim was achieved that's all.

Of course you can, but thats the reason he chose now to do this , because it was highly unlikely that the halves would have any problems from the opposition in these two games.
Doesn't matter who is Hooker in these two games, but the time is coming when this policy is going to bite him on the bum ( if he continues with it.
Most clubs aren't Saints and Parra we runout out of basket cases after next week.

Or… The other reason and most likely, was the tie in with the end of origin, and therefore doesn't create a s/storm with the whole reserve grade to origin scenario?.. We are the only team to lose against Newcastle..... No game is a definite win when your supporting the Tigers, you should know that

I rate the halves with or without Farah always have. There problem is not Farah its been about adjusting their style of play to FG while being under the microscope of being expected to be an instant succeses.
The pressure on them to be the next big saviours at this club is enormous especially when everyone
seems to know what they are being paid.
The Farah thing is a diversion - the stats show we have no problem with attack and Farah can't tackle for them

 

[tigerman80]

I have been called a Robbie hater in a number of threads. I do not hate Robbie, he has been a good player and I will always respect his efforts for the club.

I think he is likely in the best 17, and in the short term, should be selected. Moving forward though, him and a 950k contract are not the answer.

However I do think that he is past his use by date, and will not play at the same level he has in the past. The club has obviously made a decision that they want to move forward without him. They told him last year, but he chose to stay. The writing was on the wall this year, and still he appears not to have looked for opportunities elsewhere.

So here we are again with the whole thing being played out in media including the poor me press conferences.

I think it's time for Robbie to bite his tongue and move on.

He really just needs to shake it off.

Harvey like you, if I was selecting for this year, I would select Farah. However, as Taylor has made clear this isn't a short term decision. The club wants to go in a new direction and he feels, rightly or wrongly, that it needs to start now. I struggle to understand how anybody can have a problem with that.

I hope the new direction isn't playing Rankin at dummy half.
And playing Halatau there isn't a new direction either for this is his last year.
And Ballin is Robbies age.

I want the best side in the present.

Finally we have found a magpie in the forum that talks sense lol. Thats all we want, the best 17 out their so we can win as many games as possible and get a chance to support our team play in the finals. You dont drop a player when your alternative is much worse. You dont allow your ego to take over to the point where you move your winger to dummy half , your forward to the second row and pretty re shuffle half your team to achieve that. Then treat your supporters as fools who know nothing about the game. Parra would be so happy with us right now, weve taken them of the news. Only the tigers could do that.

My only impression from reading posts from the RF appreciation society is that they have no real grasp of the english language. Once you can understand the difference between the words individual and team you will be able to move forward. A collection of individuals is not necessarily a team. It is more than that. A team is a cohesive group that works towards a common goal, generates synergy and maximises individual strengths and minimises weaknesses. (Paraphrased from Wikipedia)

Robbie Farah is an individual with excellent football skills. He demonstrated his approach to team cohesion in the media on Saturday. Jason Taylor understands the difference between individual and team. Just choosing 17 players with 'the best' individual skills is not the same as choosing a team that can build synergy, maximise strengths and minimise weaknesses.

Lover's gonna Love, Love, Love. Have fun!

So those team players who maximise synergy but cant tackle or have any idea how to read defence do they minimise weaknesses lol. Our not having a recognised hooker does that maximise strengths lol. Or playing a forward in the centres(bombs a certain try, lets one in) agsin that strengthens the team does it lol lol. Farah wont be here next year and i can live with that, but you might want to book a shrink in from now when your ex-magpie is no longer our coach next year lol.

Speaking of contracts

Is Robbie hate different to Taylor hate…?

Again on FB I have seen posted a request to take a 'CONTRACT' out on Taylor...that's after another Win

That's from one of his mates

the guys name was steve t_g_r…*Edited for anonymity

 

[happy_tiger]

Hang on , hasn't super Steve got a black belt in macramé

Just jokes Steve

Great to see the win on the weekend united everyone behind the one cause going forward …...........

 

[happy_tiger]

This is going to be piss funny when JT picks Robbie to play off the bench this afternoon because he is more suited to playing the Eels

Classic Brian Smith move

Haters, lovers, confused? Whatever the facts are robbie is a top shelf hooker his track record proved it and you don't go from SOO to reserves due to poor form. Any monkey would know that. He may not be as good as he used to be but he is still ahead of others by miles.
Taylor's coaching ability hasn't got the same track record if anything its hard to defend him based on his record.
If robbie is a handful and is spoiling the broth like the coach is claiming then that's another sign of his inadequacy as a coach. If Bennett, Bellamy, stuart had a talented big mouth in their team they would iron it out in a heart beat its called people skills, something again taylor has failed in the past a la faalogo for instance when was a coach nocked cold by a player in the nrl? He sure set a precedence didn't he.
So the club has a million dollar hooker they want to try something else that's fine but the whole country knows the current hooker has another year on his contract how on Gods earth can they honestly give it a go before robbies contact is up? They sign Ballin yes a great player but he's also at the end of career and is riddled with injuries serious ones at that. Is this what a seasoned and successful coach and club do ? I don't think so.
The club deserves better there are people rolling in their Graves, fans that are just off the game, and player welfare is non existent in this joint. If he gives the coach a spray or the club a bit of his mind than i for one appreciate the insight. Don't give me this in house crap because the actions just dont make sense.

Well, you almost made sense until the (highlighted) last part.
Taylor's selections do exactly the reverse.
Anyway, thanks for helping with my grasp of the **English** language.

Ahh Longhorn, I can see the penny is beginning to drop.
Yes RF has fantastic (state rep class) individual skills.
The coach does not have to claim Robbie is spoiling the broth, Robbie demonstrated that with the media the other day. No team cohesion. Robbies media appearance was not about him working synergistically with the team to make it a better team, it was about Robbie the highly skilled individual. Poor bloke!
Far from an inadequacy, Taylor demonstrated his ability to "iron it out" as Bellamy or Bennett might, by removing the highly skilled individual from a position of influence with the team.
Clink, clink!

Ahhhhh my memories of Jason taylor at the berri st tavern in North sydney not so long ago the joint the bears used to frequant after a game. He was a social dud back then and is still not comfortable dealing with people today. That sorry assed look on his face hasn't changed and when he does try and smile it hurts his head. Always had the look of a kid who dropped his candy in the s***. Would loved to of been able to see the look after the faaaaaaaalogo medication. Now the rotten luck has its head show up at the Tigers how unfortunate. Feel free to correct my grammar you lovers of the language that has borrowed every word from other languages.

Can someone just ban this jerk who seems to have signed up to spout hateful crap and stir people?

At least smart enough to find the correct thread…to spew hate

Look everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how dumb stupid or plain idiotic it is....

 

[supercoach]

Last year his management gave the club and Taylor a spray..saying they gave Farah no real chance to find a new club because most clubs had already filled their caps for 2016\. They have gone very quite this year and have had a lot of time to work with.

Revenge is a very destructive emotion

I could be wrong here coach but i thought his management asked for a release in the pre season?

One which was not granted by the Tigers.

Mate I could be wrong, but I thought he asked for a release to go to the chooks, with the chooks only willing to pick up 100g of his contract value hence the refusal by the club

Yeah that was reported but then there was also a suggestion that Jake Friend had them retract the offer anyway. Who knows…

 

[Newtown]

Storm only scraped in against the Knights a few weeks back. I am sure that they did not receive anything like the negative opinions WT received from a high number of their fans after their win on Sunday when they won after being 8 points down early and winning by 13 points using only 15 players compared to Dragons' 17 players. Go figure.
