Well I was told there was a lot of Rugby union bigwigs out there that night too and I was under the impression that BOF was jockeying for a top Rugby position like ceo of ARU.

Look if this is even remotely true if anyone could be about to resign I reckon it might be Todd Payten
He has probably gone from next in line to not wanted very quickly according to all the press

We've had them for years, what's the difference?
There are obviously issues within management and angst between players/coach and management.
A part of the CEO's role is to back/support the club.
If Robbie's comments were not put on web site then questions need to be asked and the buck stops with the CEO.
With the state of the club currently I know who I would prefer to keep, Robbie.
I grew up with the tiger era of the 60-80's and the club was in much better shape and we still had a Leagues club.
Great interview with Robbie on Footy Show. Answered many questions. Good on you Robbie!

Steve Roach attacks Robbie Farah, Tigers leadership, says Wayne Pearce should be in charge
>
STEVE ‘Blocker’ Roach has had enough.

The Tigers front-row legend has launched an extraordinary attack on sulking skipper Robbie Farah and the lack of leadership at his fractured club.
>
Roach bleeds black and gold and doesn’t care if it costs him his job.
>
Wayne Pearce is the strong leader the Tigers need, according to Steve Roach.. Source: News Corp Australia
>
In an explosive interview, the furious and emotion-charged former Origin and Kangaroo star: I don’t understand. Robbie’s the only bloke that’s keeping all this going. Gorden Tallis hasn’t said a word for two weeks
“Why was Phil Gould, the boss of Penrith, even doing the interview?” Roach said, “Gus would love seeing us in turmoil.

“Could you imagine the drama or the reaction at Penrith if one of his players did the interview without permission from the club.

UNDER FIRE FARAH WILL NOT QUIT TIGERS

“I know he works for Channel Nine but he’s also the general manager of one of our rival clubs in Sydney’s West. “Does he want to get all our sponsors when they’ve had enough of the s**t that’s going on at the moment?”

Roach is a paid employee of the Wests Tigers as an assistant on Mick Potter’s coaching staff and on the sales team in Tigers marketing.
>
Still, he’s not afraid to attack the current management and the way they have handled the Robbie Farah/Mick Potter crisis.

There’s no leadership - they should get Wayne Pearce back straight away. At least he’s got some balls.

“He should be running the whole show. Right now we need a leader. We need someone who can make hard and tough decisions.”

Roach has been stewing over the Tigers crisis for a fortnight. He wanted to say something earlier but restrained himself.

“I’ll probably get in the s**t for saying all this but I don’t care,” he said.

“I’m over it. I’m not just going to sit back and watch my old club get torn apart like this. My guts are churning and it breaks my heart. It’s just a disgrace.

“I’ve tried to be professional and just do what I’ve got to do on the coaching staff but I can’t sit back any longer.”
He also held nothing back when asked for his thoughts on Farah’s recent behaviour.

“Everyone is treading on egg shells around one player (Robbie Farah),” he said.

“Wayne Pearce retired, I retired, so did Paul Sironen, Garry Jack and John Skandalis but the club went on and on.

“It’s bigger than one person. Robbie couldn’t go to a press conference on Monday but went to a paid interview at Channel Nine.

“I don’t understand. Robbie’s the only bloke that’s keeping all this going. Gorden Tallis hasn’t said a word for two weeks.”

Roach says he decided to speak out in the hope the NRL might fast track the board room and management changes that will allow the club to move forward.

And he’s also feeling for the younger players.

“They turn up to training every day, play on the weekends, and want to become better football players.

“What hope do they have in the current environment? They don’t want to get tied up in politics and boardroom bulls**t.

“Even guys like Aaron Woods. He only wants to play footy. They don’t want a bar of this crap. Just play and enjoy. That’s what rugby league is all about.”

Roach insists he cares only about the future of the club. No more out-of-control egos, no more back-stabbing and no more feuds.

“They’ll probably get up me and give me the arse from my job but someone had to say something,” he said.

Blocker clearly doesn't listen to triple m if he thinks Tallis hasn't said anything for 2 weeks .
He hasn't stopped talking about it & triple m have been milking it daily .
Even last night Tallis was again taking the moral high ground . And finished with saying that Robbie could ring him if he wanted to sort it out . He's like the Fonz and can't accept that he was wrrrr …

Please take this fat waste of space as far away from the club as possible, and when he gets there take him away some more. Still living in the 80's, and he's a PAID employee of the club for Gods sake. SMH.
Just like Farah is a paid employee - they are both in the wrong for commenting publicly but Blocker is a part time employee who at least is willing to risk his job to have his say and he has earned the right to have an opinion even if I don't nessecarily agree with it without you trolls throwing personal abuse at him
I got no problem with roach having his say.
He works for the club and he would have a better understanding of what's going on inside the joint than anybody on here would.
He might not have a double digit IQ but he loves the club with a passion, and I would rather hear blocker speak his mind than the usual clichéd one liners you get from everyone else.
He has basically echoed what many supporters think, giving both barrels to all parties involved and saying enough with the bullsh*t, let's just play footy.

this whole saga started as a result of the mid year Brian Smith review….why on earth did this review have to take place when the clubs focus should've been to make the semis is beyond me....surely such a review should have taken place AFTER the seasons completed....surely this is Mayers domain!

I don't really think conducting a mid-year review of the operations is a problem. Like, what are they really going to review in the off-season?
The problem with all this from my perspective is the 'reaction' by factors within the club. Obviously some factors/power-bases were not happy this was looking into there domain, and consequently reacted by releasing information or making a song and dance about this.
The problem isn't the review… The problem is the leaks and people playing shit out in the media. For this to get so out of control, its obvious to me there more than 1 person who needs to be moved on!

I got shot down mentioning the commissioning, timing and authority conducting the supposed review was a waste of time and done for the sake of stirring up a hidden agenda. Destined for no good. To those that were supporting it, can you see why it's just not on.

I think you'll find that it was at the request of the NRL for a review of football operations to take place for the incoming NRL directors…which is fine IMO...
What is not fine as Watto points out... is that the findings of the review found it's way into the press
