Not that it matters now (Woods and Farah)

[innsaneink]

He looked so sad and lonely up there…I wonder if people felt sorry for him?

 

[eyewonder]

the scoreboard thing made for great tele.

then to have an attractive reporter sitting with you asking questions about your career is pretty dandy.

he had his time in the sun and that was as good as any 20 gun salute.

goodbye and thanks for the memories.

time to move on.

Better get used to it, I'm sure every time we play at Leichhardt they'll relive it.

Plus I'm sure Goldcoast Tiger will have a pic of it as his signature before too long

Yeah, he loves Robbie, even wrote about having friends over and looking at video of the scoreboard beers.

:astonished:

Brooks and Moses fell out with Farah…..

It won't be revealed until all are retired

Maybe Brooks, but I doubt Moses did, Moses was pretty happy for Farah when he scored those 2 tries against souths and Penrith, don't remember seeing Brooks jumping all over Farah like Moses did.

And for years they tried to tell us Farah and Benji were not mates too.

Why is everyone trying to make some conspiracy theory about Farah sitting up on the scoreboard after the game? It's just called reminiscing! It's what people do when a career or a certain phase of their lives comes to an end - they go back to where it all began and reminisce! Robbie loves Leichhardt Oval, he has great memories from there, it was his final farewell to the only club he ever really wanted to play for and he won't be playing at Leichhardt, in that capacity, EVER again. Seriously guys, there was nothing sinister in it - I thought it was cool and I would've done the same thing.

Bang on flip .

Was just having his moment and reminiscing . He would of thought of everything from where his Family sat when making his Debut to his proudest moment on that ground .

I'm sure he would of thought to himself what he could of done different to maybe given himself a better chance of staying or maybe he thought to himself i should of taken which ever Clubs deal instead of taking pay cuts and remaining Loyal .
Who knows what would been going through his mind. One thing is for sure is…..Farah is a Wests Tigers Legend and a Wests Tiger through and through.

It's amazing the stories fans can make up … Now it's Farah and Woods .... Sometimes I think it's supporters with too much time on their hands letting their imagination run wild !

Exactly what I thought about it Flip. People at our place commented later that night when they saw the video that it would have been a great way for him to end the day and his time with the club
There'd be a lot of memories there for him, some time on his own there would be a good thing for him to remember them.[/quote

But he wasn't on his own…there were his security guard a throng of photographers fox camera's and even a Fox reporter up there with him to capture the 'quiet' moment...

Maybe the next club Champion who leaves, can check with you and a few others on what is acceptable behaviour for him . Just to avoid doing it the way thatcher don't approve of.
Don't you think that it's up to him how he wants to spend his last visit as a West Tiger , to a ground where he has had such a good career.

Yeah and she even brought up some additional cans of beer to make the photo "look good'.

The extra cans were for Woodsy but he left Robbie stranded .

Bet you're glad that there's not a minimum IQ to post on this forum

 

[matchball]

I don't doubt it.
He seemed to make enemies of everyone. Even the Prime Minister at one stage.
There aren't many in the league community outside our club that like him.
I cringe just thinking about his interviews in the past. With Matty Johns when he really showed immaturity and with Fatty telling him just to move on.
He got all defensive and dirty on them.

 

[TigerOfBankstown]

One of many rumours. I have also heard things second and third hand about Brooks and Farah (Brooks **hates** playing with Farah).

No point posting them as it is impossible to confirm/verify and it becomes too much to handle for the more emotionally unstable amongst us on this forum.

Can only wait for someone to write a book or something….

Brooks the player hater? If I were him I'd concentrate on the footy rather than writing paragraphs for the women's weekly…

After we won the first two games this year he was pressed about future contractual commitments by a reporter to which Brooks replied.. "Rugby League is a business" to insinuate that he we go where the $$.. Personally I'd rather we throw cash at Moses and Tedesco and a big bopper or two and get rid of brooks.. What's not to like about Littlejohn as 7? Honest hard working level headed bloke who holds a normal day job and gets the job done on the field..

It's more moving watching that than watching Taylor flounder away in his post match pressers !

Who really cares if Wood and Farah had a major blue. Never met Farah, but by all accounts he is a very prickly and intense character, so I guess after being dumped he would have been dirty on the world and he would have been looking for all the support he could get and rightly or wrongly he could not understand why his mates within the squad did not back him to the end, but like any work place, life goes on and the people who remain have to look after themselves.
I actually admire the way the squad handled the situation as most of them would have been pro Farah, but they still got out there and had a dig without having a public dummy spit.

I understand farah been very disappointed and upset with what happened but he should never drag anyone else into the saga. This saga was all about the club,Farah and his manager, not Woods or anyone else

/\
Agree 100%, as you said the squad handled themselves very well. In the past they would have let this hole saga derail their season but to their credit they got on with the job at hand.

I liked how Rowdy handled it. They must have asked him the question about Farah every week, he just stuck to talking business, and we know he himself was working out his playing future this year.

I'll have to take your word for it as I haven't seen it, but it must be good if you reckon it's better than the press conferences.

Dene Halatau's name was also on the scoreboard if you look closely…Could have invited him up there for a 'quiet' moment ..with the Fox camera's and reporter..

Was wondering why it wasn't the coach getting moved on this time

Not really fussed, but glad there is no ceiling as I do enjoy a chat.

Lol.. You are really showing your true colours with your constant little Farah digs .
I thought it was a great way for Robbie to say farewell to the club and reflect upon the time he spent with us .
My mrs even shed a tear while watching the footage ….
