It is offical

This is where the club stuffed up. If Taylor wanted to pull a move like this he needed to do it last March when clubs had cap space. But no, they started losing and Taylor pulls this move in July….

They thought Robbie would be picked up easy and everyone would get over it no matter how shabby some see it. Clearly they pulled a move like this too late in the piece and the damage it has caused is terrible really.

All their getting though is little bites of clubs offering 100K that leave the Tigers in a terrible financial position. One they cannot accept.

Players are still changing Clubs as we speak….6 months is more than enough time to find a new Club ....but initially Farah didn't want to until last Friday....

There is still players of quality at other Clubs being asked to look elsewhere...
 
Funny how "It was all too late in the season" for Robbie - But not for Tapau, Or Burgess….
Please!!

And guys like Hiku and BJ Lawrence will have clubs squabbling over them…. But not our Captain, Club Legend and The Blues VC.

- And the Sharks just signed a Hooker....

Ease up mate. It all sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Punters went beserk when Farah was told to go. Now they are going beserk because he may be staying.

I do not have a dog in this fight, but it seems to me that the Farah camp have been trying to blame the club in all this.

The media is getting a lot of so called facts about this and I do not believe for one minute that it is the club that is releasing this information.

As for Balin, he is a very good player that we obtained cheaply. Win, win, it seems to me.

Bottom line though is that I, and I believe the majority of contributors to this forum, are sick and tired of the whole darn crap fight.
 
Same people whinging about signing Ballin are the same ones Whinging about Halatau playing hooker when Robbie is at Origin or Injured.
Fact is - Club has 2 senior Grades and needs 3 Hookers. At the moment those Hookers are Robbie, Matt and Cherrington - In that order.

I think all Wests Tigers fans are entirely sick and disillusioned with this silly prolonged debacle. I have never been so disillusioned with rugby league since Newtown were forced out of first grade back in 1982.

I agree with these two posts entirely.

I think we all need to disassociate ourselves form this debacle as we are only adding to it. It will all be worked out one way or the other, no matter what we say or do :sign:

How about we all agree not to make any more comments on the club, Farah and JT until the whole mess is OFFICIALLY sorted?

Let's talk about something positive, like our new signings, finally getting our salary cap sorted, our new NYC and reserve grade coaches etc.

I will start. Any new players coming into the NYC who may have a future?

Via press release He is telling other clubs if they are interested in Farah they need to get serious about offering fair compensation, otherwise he will play for us.

At the same time they are saying to farah's management how about taking $500k per season for the next 4yrs, 2 of which we pay when you are retired.

All these details were supposed to remain confidential but farah'sfarah's management continues to play games. Anyone who thinks Farah is interested in anything other they himself is kidding…..

Farah ( or anyone ) would be nuts to agree to that, or anything like it. They already owe him $400000 for past years. Why should he lend them money again,after seeing how much they appreciated The last lot that he lent them.??
He's got the law on his side and its up to the club to either keep him or pay him out.
They won't get a club to pay out ridiculous money to bail WTs out.
I doubt that any here would not hold out for every penny owed if they were in this position
Take it out of Taylors pay if needed, he was the instigator of all this.
Sorry , I forgot …Taylor is probably on peanuts., unless the club is seriously dopier than a lot think.

Manly had talked to Taupau a lot earlier than it made the newspapers got hold of it,
It was around the time that Taylor was running off to the radio station to tell them that he wasn't a dud coach.
I don't know whether he signed anything , but he wasn't far off doing so.
They had already had serious talks

And which one of the players mentioned had the 2 million price tag ?
Souths had already been preparing for the possibility of Burgess coming back anyway

Your arguments are really malleable aren't they…. They can take all shapes!!
Farahs' (Manager) found out he was free to move on - (Early July) Just after Mid Season.
Burgess and Taupau may or may not have had "talks" before then - Who's to know...
BOTH of these contracts have a 2 Million dollar Price tag!!

Ben Te'o is looking to become available recently - Wonder if he'll have trouble fitting into a salary cap somewhere, Y'know like the Broncos - With a rep pack already!!
Jarryd Hayne might pull the pin on the 49ers - Will also probably have to play 2nd tier for a few years until someone can make a bit of room for him ay.

Surely, you are not that blind.... Or stupid?
If Cameron Smith (Apparently, the only hooker to best Farah) became available tomorrow.... Wonder if he'd have to play for 100k somewhere to get a gig?
 
Magpiecol, am trying really really hard but it is all sooooo trying! Especially when you read some of the posts! I swear if I had Harry's money I would be happy to pay Robbie off! And out! Harry where are you ?? Please help!
