Honest as the day is long: truth session has Tigers ready to

[innsaneink]

You realise he can say "No thanks"

\

Pressed on what exactly had been spoken about, Farah said: ''We'll leave that in the room

he's not a media muppet, he knows what he is doing. A few quotes here and there isn't much at all.

My point is why mention the fact they had some ''honesty session'' in the first place if they didnt want to talk about it.

Waste of time and a nothing puff piece. This is like some attention seeker on a forum dropping hints everywhere but saying nothing.

Over the talk, they talk too much…they need to produce.

To let the media know how they're preparing?

Plenty of teams do this, don't know what your go is ink.

I think Ink, like a lot of us, just wants to see the team perform. Let their game do the talking, and if you're not giving any information in the interview, then why bother doing it? Farah would be better getting himself into form so he can have a decent game instead of worrying about a fluff piece in the media.

 

[Moh]

You're making this a way bigger deal than it is.

Media go up to Farah
Media ask Farah on their form + how they're rectifying it
Farah tells them they've sat down and talked as a team about it
Media want to know what was said
Farah, rightly, doesn't give that information away
Media take off

Over.

You're making it seem as if…

Farah went up to the media
Farah tells media we had a secret meeting
Media ask Farah what was said
Farah tells them its a secret
Farah doesn't train for the rest of the week

Don't get me wrong, I'm with ya - I want them to be as fired up as ever this week. But this is nothing really.

I think you do…..

Thought I was going mad.
Dont know why its so hard for others to see this?

 

[cktiger]

100% correct Moh
The media seek out the captains and coaches (and then any other big name or outspoken player)
They have to fill centimetres in the paper preferably with something controversial.
On a slow news day you'll find rubbish about players saying how great a teammate is going and how they deserve a rep shot or something else no-one cares about.
As captain it is Farah's job to talk on behalf of the players.
Most fans are happy to read anything about the Tigers.
Even happier if you are a sponsor.
He'd be doing twice as much talking if he was Dragons captain. :laughing:

haaaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaa :roll

 

[redemption]

What a garbage article…..

"Were not telling you"

Pffft...Farah is really starting to ... me....sook , stop TVing, stop cooking, stop whinging about origin, stop twittering...just play freekin footy you whiner

HERE HERE

Farah's form has quite frank been garbage lately, he hasn't been up to a good standard since 2007/2008 and he dosen't deserve to be in origin for this reason. Anyone who says he does is kidding themselves, wake up! He has obvious hatred for Ennis, yet he is beginning to become more and more like the media muppet. Cut the crap and play some footy, results will come.

He was the Dally M runner-up in 2010 - but according to you he has been crap since 2008!!!!

Good call genius!!!

 

[tiger4ever]

we need our forwards to muscle up… farah and marshall will create alot more when we do.

Farah hasnt been at his best this year but hes been far from our worst.

Haha Ink, I tried to point the same thing out in the Blair thread, but people didn't seem to like my attitude.

I know what you mean though, Farah is turning into Ennis.
Farah doesn't need attention, he is better than Ennis.
As a captain, he has a bigger responsibility to the team than the media.

I think Sheens hasn't helped the whole situation by saying what he did in regards to not singing team song , saying we'd get beaten by 100 next week etc. Of course the media is going to talk to Robbie about what was said , what is happening etc I think as a player you know when you've had a bad game and you you don't need the coach going to the media and saying that . Don't have a issue with what he did but don't think he needed to air our dirty laundry so to speak .

 

[Moh]

He didn't air anything :brick:

The media asked him, as CAPTAIN, what they're doing to rectify the last couple of weeks, he told them they had a meeting amongst themselves. What else is he suppose to tell them? Do you want him to do a Boyd? That's honesty. That's what the team did. Then the media asked a question to try probe a little more… like they ALWAYS do, but Farah didn't comment for obvious reasons.

What the heck does this have to do with Farah whinging or whatever else you guys are claiming this to be.

This is too small to have so many posts dedicated to. These articles happen all the time. Relax.

We're all frustrated and want them to lift, I understand that, but that's no reason to go crazy.

Was talking about Sheens not Farah MOH

 

[Moh]

Ah, sorry. Read everyone else's posts and saw the last line of yours and made an assumption.

I kinda agree with that, but it's good to finally see Sheens getting fired up and not sugar coating everything. He said what pretty much everyone else was thinking too I guess. And he did say the players knew they played like crap.
