Poor Lathami is on the verge of a meltdown. Fingers crossed the Storm beat us this weekend because trying to find an excuse for that win could have the white coats knocking on your door.
Seriously though, the bitterness is pathetic, some people are incapable of hiding it.

Lathami,Iam a person that gives people a chance to fulfil their tenures as coach,whether it be 1..2.or 3 years,Potter had adverse conditions to work under while having his hands tied in regard to cap and recruiting,most of his FG team at one stage were sidelined for long periods of time,very difficult to replace them with second tier players and play good NRL football,he had to do his best with what he had.We didn't see how good a coach he may have been all things equal,a couple of great wins against top teams were his highlight before things went haywire..Taylor has had a much better platform and his plans were outlined to the board at the start of his employment and to the credit of this new board they are sticking by him to see how his plans improve this team and club..JT is mainly being critised by people because he hasn't had instant succes ,however it takes a fair bit of time and hard work to right the ship after so many years of squandering money and internal turmoil,given he has been handed some very young and inexperienced players to teach and a captain with his nose out of joint because he is ageing then in my opinion Taylor has had a very difficult couple of seasons,however he is still sticking to his plans and deserves credit for that,let's give him his full tenure and we can judge him on that,after all Potter basically had his back to the wall with many throwing rocks at him instead of support..let's see what happens come finals time and how far as a team they have progressed before we start to decapitate Taylor…

Wrong TT, it's because he had the nerve to tell Farah he wasn't apart of his plans moving forward. Some just refuse to come to grips over that. Yeah last yr was terrible and we finished the lowest we've ever been on the ladder, but you're off your face if you don't think there hasn't been improvement this yr. During that 6 game losing streak we could have easily had one or two of those go our way, then would be entrenched in the 8\. What would be the complaints then? One of main reasons why most of his critics can't admit the side has improved is because they can't swallow their pride due to the Farah thing. That is a fact imo.
It's about results, growth and harmony for me.
Another bottom four finish this year for Taylor and I have no problem in him being shown the door.
The Farah thing is not a problem for JT if the team is winning -it's as simple as that.
And if the team is winning with Farah in it then everyone is happy - aren't they???

Like everyone else I want our side to win and often, but I also know it is a long hard road to get off the bottom especially if you do not have the dollars and the influence to attract a handful of marquee players. Look at Souths, they took ages to get themselves up from the bottom and the same for Parra. So I am willing to cut Taylor and his coaching team a little bit of slack.
There has been improvements,a couple of seasons ago we were a 100 to 1 to defend two sets on our line,now we are in with a chance, our on field discipline has improved and although I can not quote any stats I think our completion rate is getting better. They are all small steps and they just do not happen. Things like our injury rate has dropped.
I do not expect to make the eight, but I think the foundations have been laid for a very good 2017\. I also think the club is now starting to pull in the same direction from the board,CEO down to the strapper and that has never happened in the past.
Once again I am not a ticket holder in the pro Taylor camp, but I know that stability is the name of the game and chopping and changing coaches just keeps pushing your goals back a year or two. People are dreaming if they think Henry,Green,Bennett,Bellyache or Hasler would have us much further up the ladder than we are now

It's only pathetic to you because it went against your argument, so you had to resort to talking about my life cos it was the best comeback you had.
And just ftr "champ". Someone disagreeing with you does not make them a troll. Coming on here and spewing post after post of hate and vitriol goes close though.
Seeing this thread has done a u- turn can someone change the title to ' Taylor can't coach ' ?
IMO Potter didn't have enough control and was unfortunate to have a lot of players injured - we'll never really know if he would have been successful.
Can't bring myself to like Taylor after so many ridiculous selections and poor game plans.
Hopefully he has learnt from his mistakes because, unlike many of you, I believe we have a group of talented players (could do with one or two others in a few positions) who could really make an impact with the right coaching.

One word champ 'hypocrite', you spout on about farah endlessly and don't get me started on Siro but yes I am the poster apparently of 'post of hate and vitriol goes close though'.
Have a look in the mirror bud, you may not like what u see!!
I have only ever said my opinion but you as a troll keep making this personal like,'Poor Lathami is on the verge of a meltdown'. Just for having an opinion different to yours.
But hay don't let facts get in the way of your uneducated rant…
Now what make you a troll is a post you did a week ago when you brought up about 8 quotes over several weeks about another poster you didn't agree with, just to make a point. Now that was pathetic and a bit sad on your part.
If you do one of your searches through the annals of the forum like u do, u will see that I have said in the past that I agree with some of the scarecrows decisions like Lawrence into the backrow and putting Felise into first grade. But he has made a lot of poor options as well such as the way he handled the whole farah debacle, bring the club into the media and a whole negative way with his open ended selection process. His press conferences makes Bennet seem like a warm, deep and well spoken man. A smarter coach would have handled it a lot better.
But keep banging on about your hatred for farah and your deep **love for the scarecrow**. As you do...

I will try and simplify this as much as I can for you
You compared Green to Potter
If you do that you have to compare their sides as well
The Cowboys have a great side far better than I imagine the WT's will ever be
That why you don't have a clue , every time you type , the foul stench in the Forum gets worse

You call it hate and vitriol, i call it giving opinions on players on a football forum. I don't abuse other posters who have a different opinion to me.
@lathami said:
I'm not the only one in this thread who has said something along these lines, so by your logic there are a lot of trolls. Earlier in the thread Willow implied you were close to being banned. That tells me you're perceived as more of a troll than me.

@lathami said:
Doesn't make me a troll. It shows i actually did some research into proving someone was being a hypocrite. Call it me having no life if you want because you have nothing else to come back with, but it took literally 5 minutes to find those quotes. Hardly life consuming.
@lathami said:
You don't read enough of my posts, clearly. I've said time and time again that i would not lose any sleep if JT were sacked. And also, i actually gave Farah a rap last week, which i actually linked you too the other day when you were waxing lyrical about how it must have killed me when Farah scored. I linked you my post complimenting Farah and you went quiet. I would have thought you would know better than to bring that up again.
@GNR4LIFE said:
Thanks for proving my point…
Willow who cares what he thinks? Another farah hater, that's the only reason!
And no I don't live on the forum so I don't read all your posts...
The amount of people on this forum that would take the word of the cricket urinater, potter "halfwit" over a guy who won us a premiership, a club legend, bleeds for the club, well that's pathetic...
You are the one suggesting that I would rather lose our games so that the scarecrow gets the boot, I have never said anything of the like! If we make the 8 this year I will give credit were credit is due.
But, that still doesn't stop he's poor handling of player management, media affairs and absurd team selections.
Hey Lathami,I could be wrong,but most of the team selections have a lot to do with Oniels approval..
If he approves a lot of these selections,then he must be held responsible for poor performances of inadequate players…JT has my approval as coach,mainly because he has stuck by what he said he was going to do since his employment...the line defense and defense in general of this team is a great improvement on what it used to be,and the improvement of this team in the last few weeks has also been noticeable...as for Robbie,he has been good for this club over the years,but its time he did move on,age is the big factor in his moving on and bringing in a new young player to learn the ropes... :smiley:

PS.. Lathami,Willow is an astute observer of the game,he doesnt hate Farah,he makes valid points as do many posters,however there are people on this forum who think their opinion is the only opinion,and that is what makes them appear one sided and haters of particular threads and posters..
