Jason Taylor ...THREAD...

They wouldn't even get 600K their whole career if they continue to play this way
Brooks was appalling

So was JTs game plan and coaching

We are close he said
We just need to play tougher

Ridiculous. Last week the team was hailed as courageous and tough and one performance later, Taylor should be sacked.

With some luck, this is the trigger Taylor needs to punt Farah and one or two others. Have not won a game since Farah's return. I don't care how many tackles Farah makes, he is a soft tackler now and teams bend our defensive line by running at him. Milone will also go for Simona.

It's all Farahs fault is it? Does he pick the team each week

Gary, everything that happens in the Southern Hemisphere is a trigger to punt Farah in your eyes.
Does he pick the team comprising mostly of non first graders, week in week out,especially the ones that are the Coaches favourites.
Does he pick the young blokes that get the soft treatment , no matter how they go.
Just to name a few things, no
Taylor has no idea of what he's doing. Plays favourites among the players.
And had no ideas on how to motivate players. And just for your information they can't punt Farah , they signed a contract. They didn't even learn from that, and tied the club to these ordinary halves. Who look like signing here again, because we are the only idiots who think that they are worth what's on the contract
Stuffed up again
 
It's quite true that coaches don't miss tackles, drop passes and the like but it has been the Rugby League way for the 50 plus years I have followed the game to dump the coach rather than get rid of under performing players. I don't think even the likes of Bennett or Bellamy could do much to improve our fortunes in 2016 because we do not look like a cohesive unit or a happy one. Clearly the Taylor/Farah fiasco has caused a huge amount of damage and that this is ongoing. Both individuals probably need to leave the club for us to have any hope of righting the ship in 2017\. How that might be achieved without big payouts we can ill afford is anyone's guess. Justin will have to start earning that big CEO paycheck

At least he tried, together with Rowdy

I thought the same. Robbie only hogged the ball after the others failed on many occasions score near the line - at least he got over the line with the ball in his hand. Others when they did not make more metres than him don't get blasted for dying with the ball.
 
Was tonight a deliberate effort to get rid of the coach by the players?

If not then all but a few should hang their heads in shame. Disgraceful, heartless effort!

The players can leave along with Taylor (few exceptions.)

BTW The Raiders had better players out tonight then we did and even so are barely a top eight team at full strength.

No - I noted one or two others should be punted as well and named them in subsequent posts. Perhaps read those posts when you get the chance.

Specifically referring to Farah, this issue is that Farah is part of the spine. It may seem to you and others that Farah gets blamed for everything, but that is because of the role he (and other hookers) play in the team - he literally IS part of everything. If he is underperforming, then there is a good chance the team will underperform. Arguably you can carry an ordinary second rower, an ordinary front rower or an ordinary centre, but you can't carry an ordinary 1, 6, 7 or 9.

As a supporter, I gave him the benefit of the doubt after last year, but after 5 games, I think Cherrington is better than Farah. This argument about Farah's defence is a fallacy - the Vaughan try case in point. He doesn't hit hard enough anymore and cushions too much in defence.

Anyway….I guess I am a "Farah hater".
 
Taylor is where this all starts. He needs to go. Has he improved our defence which he said was going to be fixed. Has our attack improved. Has anything even improved.

I also doubt Taylor ability to keep the right players. We desperately need a forward with impact. We had one with Taupau but let him walk.

Something doesn't seem right. Canberra aren't a bad team, but they aren't going to win the comp and they were missing players. Last week we played with plenty of spirit and heart. This week we concede 60 points. I expected them to push the raiders all the way tonight. Maybe win the game, if not get close. But to be honest I watched a team play without any real pride at all. To me the lack of pride and spirit shown hurts more than the scoreboard.
 
All I know is something is very wrong when I go to the game and find myself happy that the other team is putting 40, 50, 60 points on us. The more points they scored the happier I got. I hope to god the coach is sacked after tonight
 
Not defending the coach, but anyone who thinks the players shouldn't be ashamed of themselves are genuine lunatics. 3 coaches they have failed under now.

Taylor has to go, so if any Farah lovers want to accuse me shifting blame don't bother. But if Farah had any integrity, he would forgo his final yr with us out and seek out a retirement package in the UK. Him on 900k at this stage of his career with what he's giving us in return is mind blowing.

First half - down 18-6 - 2m out - line set to the left for 4th tackle - Farah takes Sironen for short ball to the right and next play (last tackle), with line to the left still ready, Farah tries to beat 4 players and dive over himself. If I was Brooks, Moses and Tedesco, I would be pulling my hair out.
 
The result wasn't that much of a surprise for me. I have watched nearly all the Tigers games since their inception and we have ALWAYS struggled with teams who have a large mobile pack.

They continually get a roll on up the middle, dominate the ruck, get second phase play and basically expose our soft underbelly. In the past the Roosters, Brisbane, Manly etc have all done this to us.

It's not exactly panic stations yet for me. Hopefully we get some players back and make a couple of changes and lets see how we go.

In most of the games he's played this year he's been in our top 3 performers, I know that doesn't take much with our bunch of no hopers but he's still better than most especially out imposter halves.
 
I'm not sure where we go from here but Taylor must be close to getting the chop , but the team also has to take some sort of blame , today was an absolute mess , no idea how to handle the other team , coaches problem , no heart team player problem , I'm not sure but if the wests Tigers board keep going and the CEO the path we are on this team will finish last ,how to fix this may be a huge clean out , we have clean out before but really it's not worked , I would if I had the power to do the clean out
Punt Taylor , replace with Ivan or Geoff
Milone , gone not up to it
Sirro , back a grade , need to earn his spot , can't kill him off yet
Brooks , back a grade , don't like it , leave
Jordan grant , step.up,have a crack
ET to be sined tomorrow from the panthers
Brooke's goes , step up our next option
This list,could go on and on , I'm not a footy coach but gee , I can't handle what's going on at present
Ther must be a change after tonight , and nobody should say we missed Woods , they didn't have our gun player who we let go Austin

Not only is paying Farah 900k mind blowing , paying 2 rookie halves +600k is beyond mind blowing !
This club couldn't run a chook raffle !

I can't agree with that statement. Tedesco, Ave, Grant, Lawrence, Sue, Naquama and at times Moses have been our most consistent and best performers this season.
