Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall took huge pay cuts to help the Wests Tigers stay under the cap

Robbie Farah and
BENJI Marshall played alongside Robbie Farah for more than a decade and has admitted the current situation at the Wests Tigers is ‘heartbreaking’.
Speaking on NRL 360 on Tuesday night, Marshall made the stunning revelation that both he and Farah took massive pay cuts to keep the club afloat in 2012, sacrificing their own money to make sure the club could survive in good faith.

Marshall said what was intended as a selfless deed has now been thrown back in Farah’s face. Farah’s backended contract is only now repaying the sacrificed amount to the captain who has been asked to leave the club to alleviate pressure on the salary cap.

“In 2012 the club came to us and said we’re going to be ‘X’ amount over the cap,” Marshall revealed when asked if Farah had taken pay cuts to help the club in the past.
Marshall famously faced a similar situation with the Tigers at the end of 2013, when he agreed to a five-year deal and was then offered a reduced contract, to which he decided to defect to rugby union rather than sign for less than the original handshake offer.

“When I agreed to a five-year deal with them after that year, that was going to be backended and added onto the end of our contracts,” he explained of the 2012 pay cuts.
“The same thing happened with Robbie. Everyone looks at the price tag of $950,000 and says he’s not worth it, but that’s really $750,000 and the $200,000 that he took off three or four years ago to keep the club afloat.

“That’s how much the club means to the bloke and that’s how much it meant to me. We were willing to give up our money to keep the club under the cap.
“To see what's going on there, it’s pretty shattering for me. Obviously a similar thing happened to me there and I know for Robbie, he’s invested so much in the club.
“They talk about salary cap being the reason why, but in my opinion I think it’s got nothing to do with that. It’s got more to do with the personal battle between himself and JT.”
Knowing Farah as well as he does, Marshall also admitted that he doesn’t believe the captain will be playing anywhere but the Tigers for the next two seasons and will stick out the final two years of his contract, despite being told he can look elsewhere.
Marshall said Farah is a stubborn person by character and his love for the Wests Tigers means he won’t want to play anywhere else, even if it means playing reserve grade as has been threatened.

“I know how much the club means to him and as much as people might think he would go, there’s no way he wants to leave that club and there’s no way he wants to play for another club,” he said.

“It’s heartbreaking for me because I think if anyone deserves to be treated better and rewarded for the things he’s done for the club in the past, it’s him.”
However, he also admitted that Farah’s personality can divide opinion given his directness and honesty in communicating what he thinks is right for the club.
“He’s not everybody’s cup of tea and the reason I say that is he’s so passionate about the things he does and he’s so invested that he’s not shy to tell you what he thinks,” Marshall said.

“For example, before I left in 2013 I was going through a bad patch, I was stepping out of line a couple of times and no one would stand up to me but he would be the first one to pull me aside and say ‘pull your head in’. If he thinks something is bad for the club he’s the first guy to say ‘I don’t believe that’s the best thing for the club.
“Some people take him the wrong way, but I know Robbie, I played with him for 12 years, he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

“He’s a very bad loser and a very emotional person when it comes to defeat and games and after games I think he lets it get the better of him sometimes. But he’s the first to admit when he is wrong, I’ll give him that.”

As I have been told yes. This article states it was all included in his last contract at the Tigers, I was told they were still around $200k short. So I am not sure but when Yoss said he was still owed money it fit in with what in with what I was told.

Yoss, you made mention to money owing to Robbie outside of the contacted amount, is that outside of this $200k? Please explain mate.

How can you be owed money outside of the cap ??

Was Robbie a groundsmen as well …..maybe it was his job to keep the fences maintained :laughing:

TPAs I’d assume… If we could get away with paying Robbie to maintain the fences I’m sure we would have!

Keep in mind I’m just relating things I’ve heard. I understand he was owed money and that it was not just his contract money. I’m assuming it was some sort of TPA.

TPA's fall through quite regularly Yoss , that's not WT's issue …....that's Robbie's issue and his Ayoub's issue

At the end of the day Yossarian and many others keep overlooking the fact that this isnt like Roosters offering one of their players a job after football then signing him at a reduced rate for another couple of season.

**HE LEFT THE CLUB**

He went and played for Souths, there was no advantage to us. No salary cap rort, nothing. Ive heard all the arguments given so far and while there are points to debate i cant see a smoking gun. Just a dressed up case and a nazi like attempt to destroy our credibility before we have had a chance to defend ourselves.

The whole thing is a fix up to get back at Justin Pascoe.

**He was doing too good a job and has upset the wrong people.**

What evidence do you have?

My guess is none.

Nice Sam Thaiday impression.

Lol you ask me that yet dont question Cochise or anyone else when they claim things like the money we owed Farah from 2016 was given to him as part of this ambassador role.

Its obvious to everyone reading mine is an opinion. How in common sense can it be anything else?

Go around stating that the ambassador role was created to pay out what we owed him however and i think we are entitled to ask that person to cough up some proof..

Apparently not.

In normal conditions sure. But he was still under contract and so could refuse to leave and we would have been liable for the full 950k of his contract. So RF and Ayoub had some bargaining power.

I really couldn't care less to be honest but your statement stood out. The point is, people are emotionally invested in this situation and there's really nothing any of us can do about it - the truth of the matter will come out in the courts should the Tigers push through and challenge this decision. Everything else here is just more speculation amongst the paranoia crew on here.

Yep speculation vs people who have a little bit of "inside knowledge"

It goes round and around. Like most topics on here.

Nothing is going to be sorted out anytime soon.
 
I'm still confused about the part where Tigers had a secret illegal ambassador deal with Farah, with possible intent to decieve, and yet were dumb enough to mention it many times in the media.

We all knew there was a possible ambassador agreement, how was the NRL in the dark?

Never heard about a successful deception campaign involving notification to the papers.

I would assume they're (NRL) using the Sergeant Shultz method of 'I know nothing, I see nothing' inasmuch as despite the media articles inc comments from WT reps and player / player agent, they refused any type of proactive 'hey guys, whats going on? whats the progress of the deal, when will you have something to submit to us?", they remained ignorant because they hadnt received anything from the club whilst the issue was live. Even, then all went quiet and issue faded, no follow up 'where is the paperwork on this?'. Not proactive at all, somewhat like the banking regulators exposed at the royal commission.
 
I really hope we get someone like our own Judge Judy. She'd see the light in all of this darkness. And I bet she'd put that snivelling Greenturd right in his place.

It’s happened before and will happen again I’m sure. Got to get in the know with the right people on here. But it’s hard when my opinion is always different to theirs lol.

Back on topic, can’t believe the drama that follows this small club around. We get rid of Ivan the terrible and see the light with Madge and now this. We just can’t get a break :frowning:

Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall took huge pay cuts to help the Wests Tigers stay under the cap

Robbie Farah and
BENJI Marshall played alongside Robbie Farah for more than a decade and has admitted the current situation at the Wests Tigers is ‘heartbreaking’.
Speaking on NRL 360 on Tuesday night, Marshall made the stunning revelation that both he and Farah took massive pay cuts to keep the club afloat in 2012, sacrificing their own money to make sure the club could survive in good faith.

Marshall said what was intended as a selfless deed has now been thrown back in Farah’s face. Farah’s backended contract is only now repaying the sacrificed amount to the captain who has been asked to leave the club to alleviate pressure on the salary cap.

“In 2012 the club came to us and said we’re going to be ‘X’ amount over the cap,” Marshall revealed when asked if Farah had taken pay cuts to help the club in the past.
Marshall famously faced a similar situation with the Tigers at the end of 2013, when he agreed to a five-year deal and was then offered a reduced contract, to which he decided to defect to rugby union rather than sign for less than the original handshake offer.

“When I agreed to a five-year deal with them after that year, that was going to be backended and added onto the end of our contracts,” he explained of the 2012 pay cuts.
“The same thing happened with Robbie. Everyone looks at the price tag of $950,000 and says he’s not worth it, but that’s really $750,000 and the $200,000 that he took off three or four years ago to keep the club afloat.

“That’s how much the club means to the bloke and that’s how much it meant to me. We were willing to give up our money to keep the club under the cap.
“To see what's going on there, it’s pretty shattering for me. Obviously a similar thing happened to me there and I know for Robbie, he’s invested so much in the club.
“They talk about salary cap being the reason why, but in my opinion I think it’s got nothing to do with that. It’s got more to do with the personal battle between himself and JT.”
Knowing Farah as well as he does, Marshall also admitted that he doesn’t believe the captain will be playing anywhere but the Tigers for the next two seasons and will stick out the final two years of his contract, despite being told he can look elsewhere.
Marshall said Farah is a stubborn person by character and his love for the Wests Tigers means he won’t want to play anywhere else, even if it means playing reserve grade as has been threatened.

“I know how much the club means to him and as much as people might think he would go, there’s no way he wants to leave that club and there’s no way he wants to play for another club,” he said.

“It’s heartbreaking for me because I think if anyone deserves to be treated better and rewarded for the things he’s done for the club in the past, it’s him.”
However, he also admitted that Farah’s personality can divide opinion given his directness and honesty in communicating what he thinks is right for the club.
“He’s not everybody’s cup of tea and the reason I say that is he’s so passionate about the things he does and he’s so invested that he’s not shy to tell you what he thinks,” Marshall said.

“For example, before I left in 2013 I was going through a bad patch, I was stepping out of line a couple of times and no one would stand up to me but he would be the first one to pull me aside and say ‘pull your head in’. If he thinks something is bad for the club he’s the first guy to say ‘I don’t believe that’s the best thing for the club.
“Some people take him the wrong way, but I know Robbie, I played with him for 12 years, he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

“He’s a very bad loser and a very emotional person when it comes to defeat and games and after games I think he lets it get the better of him sometimes. But he’s the first to admit when he is wrong, I’ll give him that.”

“It had absolutely nothing to do with my old playing contract, or my current playing contract in coming back to the Tigers. **I got my contract paid out in full when I left to go to the Rabbitohs. There were no deferred payments or anything like that. It’s not like they [the Tigers] tried to hide it.**

So you are saying Robbie lied in this statement?

“It had absolutely nothing to do with my old playing contract, or my current playing contract in coming back to the Tigers. **I got my contract paid out in full when I left to go to the Rabbitohs. There were no deferred payments or anything like that. It’s not like they [the Tigers] tried to hide it.**

So you are saying Robbie lied in this statement?

The guy has inside information. Dont dare to question it lol.
