Marina Go: A letter to Wests Tigers Members

[jirskyr]

Marina Go is a liar. She must be sacked.

In this article from yesterday http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/wests-tigers/wests-tigers-chairwoman-marina-go-opens-up-on-why-robbie-farah-had-to-go-20150828-gja5ur.html#ixzz3k9ZkgCLW

she states "These things happen all the time. My youngest son put his arm around me and said 'I remember when Wayne Bennett got rid of Wally Lewis'. These things are done not for personal reasons but because the club is put first."

The Wally Lewis incident happened in 1990.

In this article from 21/6/2013 http://www.1millionwomen.com.au/blog/marina-go-our-1mw-woman-of-the-moment/ she states "When I became a mother nearly 20 years ago"

Even if that comment refers to her youngest child, it suggests that child was born after 1993.

It may seem like small fries in the context of the whole saga, but such dishonesty should not be tolerated by the chair of this club.

Pathetic.

Hmm this post makes me think about straws and clutching.

Lol you're definitely clutching with that one.

You don't know the context of which that comment was made. I could have a conversation with someone and say ''i remember back during world war II yada yada yada'', despite the fact it was 40 yrs before i was born. Its a figure of speech.

Hang on - she told me she was right-handed, but I definitely saw her eating an ice cream today with her left hand!

Where is my pitchfork!?!

 

[gallagher]

Obviously the best way to build a winning culture is to get rid of the person who hates losing the most. :crazy

Its a funny comment isn't it.

Hilarious. He should have learnt how to win by now if he hates losing so much.

 

[Paris_Cobbs]

Well said, LCA.

Beware of meaningless language. We are hearing a lot about 'messy salary cap' without any details. This will be used to justify all sorts of things, eg getting the wooden spoon. And 'winning culture' - apparently you can have one of those without actually winning!

You never heard Tommy Raudonikis use language like that (though he did resort to some other choice language on occasions.)

There is a lot of spin going on now. I also can't see us signing some sensational player who turns everything around. I still believe our squad isn't that bad and Taylor is extremely close to leading us to the spoon.

….......All this hate towards Taylor is really getting very, very tiresome.

^What he said.^
Nothing about it is constructive. Nothing about it demonstrates a desire for the club to move forward. We have just gotten rid of two coaches in quick succession. Get it? Where exactly did that get us? So now sack another coach? Back to the future or just backwards?

As one of my work colleagues used to say: "Thanks for your input, it has been of limited assistance."

You know what guys,I'm sick of hearing the same crap that has been coming out of this club for quite awhile now…Taylor's no good,Farahs no good,the Admin is no good,the players are young and not good enough and on and on it goes...this latest fiasco is something that has been building for a while in regards to Robbie and previous coaches,speculation,hearsay and innuendos no one knows exactly what's going on....

All I will say is,I really don't care anymore what happens to Farah,Taylor or the board....you know,I'm fed up ...I will keep paying my membership in the hope things get much better and if they don't and the JV folds,I don't care there are more important things in life than a screwed up football club and overrated,overpaid players...

And don't expect any tears rolling down my cheeks for Robbie or any of them....it's big money and a professional sport,if you cant handle the heat in the kitchen..then get out..

I have been a very passionate supporter of the WESTS Tigers since the JV,trying to stay positive in all the negative garbage that gets thrown around this forum and in newspapers etc,sticking up for the new coach,admin and Farah..I love the WTs,but if they can't sort this rubbish out,then I don't care anymore.I get paid to do my job and Iam reliable and responsible doing my job....Maybe some involved in this club should take a leaf out of my book and this club may just step in the right direction going forward....

Enough is enough...... :slight_smile:

Thanks for the tissues…....I hope they are soft 3 ply..I have a sensitive nose..... :angry:

I think this board is worse than the last one and Ms Go is a complete dud as a club leader and administrator.

She clearly believes using business-speak in an article will be understood by the fan base and inspire members to re-invest in their club. I'm sure we'll all be using terms like strategic pillars in our breakfast conversations with family today. NOT!

So, in summary, Ms Go tells us that Robbie is a self-absorbed, arrogant twat whose prickly personality and sense of entitlement make it impossible for the club to be united and for a winning culture to be established.

So Robbie's reputation is tarnished, officially now it would seem, although with no specific evidence provided other than their impression of his character and influence on the squad and club. So, after 13 seasons of service to the Tigers, he is officially outed by the chairperson as a source of disunity within the club and, in doing so, makes it even less likely that another club would want to take him on.

And, at the same time as outing Robbie, she unreservedly supports the direction the inexperienced, petulant Taylor is taking the club…..that is, to the wooden spoon in 2015 or to a flukey second last spot.

Harry and other sponsors must be really impressed!!

So, great effort Ms Go. You are the Peta Credlin of Wests Tigers...someone who has presided over complete dysfunction and abysmally embarrassing performance. Thankfully, Abbott will go soon, and so should you!

O God! A zealot.

Pin head warning.

MagpieCol, yet another indication of your stupidity, as if we needed another one. Just scroll through your other posts and it's clear that, apart from abuse, you have no point to make.

We should arrange a meeting at a game one day. You're going to Campbelltown today are you?

You are 100% correct True Tiger. All this arguing and bickering about who is right and who is wrong is very, very, negative and not helping the Wests tigers situation at all. Posters like Bobbo125 for example who have no supporter empathy with this club are jumping on this forum with the sole purpose of inflaming the situation to their delight. I will now be sitting back and letting the people really responsible for looking after this club, namely the club management and administration, to do the job they have been assigned and paid to do. That is to put the club back on a solid footing and that of course involves issuing redundancies where and when they necessary. I have utmost confidence in this management.

very well said boys… Lots of agendas being pushed by some here... The hand wringing and crying by some is really OTT... Seriously some of you people need to get a grip... Or have led very sheltered lives... It's like this is the worst thing that's ever happened to them... Life goes on.
Move on... Don't be a pussy... Harden up girls.. Dry your tears

 

[TigerMoz]

A good statement from the club and Marina continues to impress and show that the board and club now won't shy away from the hard decisions needed and the hard work including letting go players when necessary for the good of the club, putting the club above the individual as it should be but so often hasn't been for Wests Tigers. The easy way out of this would have been to keep Robbie and continue to struggle for the next few years but they have made the hard call and I am sure expected a tough time from those who let emotions rule over logic (which is legitimate as a fan).

I continue to be impressed by our new board and also the way our club is looking to the future - for the first time in years we are being run as a professional organisation and not a mates club

Seriously Marina ! This ridiculous pathetic post can only be yours.

 

[madunit]

clutching at straws?

I'm not the one making up a bullshit story that factually couldn't have taken place to try and justify the pathetic handling of this whole situation.

I don't care if Farah stays or goes, he will leave soon anyway, irrespective of this.

I want the club and those running it to be honest, accountable, open and clear.

I'm sick of the way this club has one issue and they let it spiral out of control for weeks. We went through this crap with Mayer last year and Benji the year before that, and Sheens before that, and Gibbs, Heighington, Fifita, Ryan et al departures prior to that, and Moltzen prior to those….

Blaming Farah for the disgracefully amateurish manner that this club has conducted itself since winning the premiership is narrow minded and stupid at best.

Farah will leave and I would not be at all surprised if the shambolic way this club handles any incidents, will not change.

But there will be those of you who will be sitting there bitching about Farah's involvement in some player leaving the club in 2034

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I think people who comment on culture don't understand how sometimes people can create bad culture from their own habits. Whilst Farah does want to win, so do all other players the difference is how Farah conducts himself to instill his influence that creates a negative culture around the club.
