In your excitement and rush did you get lost?
I think this belongs here; http://www.weststigersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25380&p=647687#p647686

By the way your links are duds.

That's because Rothfield IS a dud.

So now we need to relocate

Some need a bex and a lie down… Seriously, some of the dramatics In this thread are way OTT

Lol. Caffeine and alcohol is the modern day bex nowdays. :laughing:

Cause we don't need to relocate Ink.
As you can see , we are doing so well just the way we are . Dud coach , no money ( as you've pointed out on several occasions ). players don't want to come here,
What more could we want. It's perfect.

As you know everything,
I'm sure you would know know that if it was to happen, it would be better for it to be voluntary than forced or dropped completely.

But I'm sure you would prefer to be here in 10 years time , still with the same old crap that we have had for so long.
I do realise though that as its not one of your ideas, that it couldn't possibly be worth exploring.
Some club is eventually going to benefit from getting out of Sydney and into a one team Town.

Hahaha… Looks. Like I hit a nerve

**SHOOSH**
We’re hearing Marty Taupau has actually signed a contract with the Manly Sea Eagles for 2017 and beyond but is desperately trying to get an immediate release for next year.
http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/mar…-1227565270579

Only problem with this scoop is as he is under contract for 2016 he is not permitted to sign a contract with another club until after October 30, other clubs aren’t even allowed to negotiate with him until after October 30 without the permission of his current club.

 

[Curaeus]

Rothfield again! Just part of his continuing demented vendetta against most things NRL and specifically us!

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

A coach who is a smart operator would play both in the NRL next year and would have negotiated with Farah to have one more NRL year and then move to ESL. However, we don't have a smart operator but a dud.

Sounds exactly what was said in the first article that I saw about this debacle, and exactly what is "supposed" to have been agreed with the club in the meeting with Farah
And his manager.
**That was before Taylor rang Souths and tried to do a deal with them to swap Farah with McQueen now.**
Would have been a piece of sanity in this. So it was highly likely to fail.
Would have been a good way out for everyone.

What a load of garbage…
A coach, no matter who he is, does not ring a club to try and make a player swap without the authority of the front office, It’s extremely laughable to even make such a claim.

It was reported on several occasions within the first few days of the meeting, if you want to check it out , go back through the posts at the time .
And no I don't believe every thing in the papers . **But it was more than one paper mentioned it.** And it was mentioned here as well
I also know that some on here only think that reports that comply with their opinions are correct.
I actually agree with you that it WAS laughable that it occurred.
Apparently it was him doing that which inflamed the situation. ( one of the things)
Now I know that I should have checked with you first on the story.as you seem to be an authority on what Taylor has and hasn't done
Il make sure that I do in the future. And can you tell me which sports journos are to be trusted this week , as it changes so often with some.

You do realise goldcoast tiger there are pretty much only 3 media outlets in Australia, the two major players Fairfax and Murdoch's News Limited, even your local newspaper is likely to be one of these two, even the NRL website is run by Telstra who are half owners of Fox Sports, with the other half owned by News Limited, and stories are just rehashed for each publication, the third player in the media game is AAP, Australian Associated Press, they are an independent news outlet but still both Fairfax and New Limited take many news stories from them as well and just rehash them.

It’s the modern day media, less employees, less overheads and less cost, and just sprout the same dribble from one publication to the next.

See I don’t believe rumours, innuendo, hearsay and certainly not in cheap gutter journo’s, in the current world of social media and the internet once a rumour or innuendo is out there it will end up being sprouted by several different sources, and it doesn’t matter how many sources may run with it still doesn’t make it true because for the most part they are not independent, they all work pretty much for the same mob.

If you want to believe in rumours and hearsay and what a two bob journo may sprout, go ahead, but please don’t claim it as the truth.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I didn't claim anything was the truth, just that it was a report that was printed , I think by Paul Kent,
now I know that the only good sports reporters are the ones who agree with your own opinion, and even then, if they say something different else at a later date they are then classed as useless. So it'd be a good idea to have a list of journos somewhere who can be trusted. Trouble is none of them can be.
in a thread over 170 pages long, most of the info that any of us has received has been from sports reporters on either Tv, radio, I/net or papers, probably at least half of that is wrong , or at least partly wrong,
The other way is from the uncle of a player who once played park football with a distant cousin of some nsw cup player.
You can believe what you want to but save me from your lecture on the news media.
If you think the report in question wasn't correct, that's fine I only relayed what I read in a media report

You last sentence is spot on GCT.
Since our club treats it's members and fans like mushrooms, it's the media we turn to for any juicy tid bits and goss. Most of it is rumours ( and hope it comes true ) stuff, or old rehashed articles with a different twist to it. But now and again it's spot on.
Without the Media truths and untruths we wouldn't have anything to discuss on this forum. Especially in the off season. :supporter:

The irony and double standard in your statement is not lost on many! We're happy to claim the protection offered by a contract in retaining Taupau but threaten Farah with NSW Cup should he chose to remain at the club for the remaining 2 years of his binding contract.

Woooooo
173 pages …....... !

well said Paws -
but …173 pages (im spinning out) and some people still dont get it.

for anyone who thinks a contract means anything in todays NRL - you are blindly and foolishlessly mistaken.

Everything around a contract is driven by and determined by a commercial agreement and whether or not the 2 parties can agree.
if marty says (in private) he can not work with the coach.... the club will ensure it is financially protected and let him go.
its that simple.

The club clearly would like Farah to leave. He is still protected by his contract and will be payed in full whilst playing NSW cup if he chooses to stay.
On the other hand the club wants Tapau to stay.
No problems there.

Did this actually happen or is it hearsay,,,I can not find anything official or otherwise to say it did….Can you link the source please...

It was Not long after the whole thing blew up, I didn't have a link as I haven't got a clue how to link anything, as I've saud before. I can only say that I think it was a Paul Kent article that reported it. And almost everything said in this whole stuff up is hearsay.
But that was what was said in the article that I read.

Geo, I found one of the articles in question
Still can't do links As you are probably know .
This one was similar to the earlier one that I saw.
If you are interested go to Pressreader , and type. "Tigers Exit sealed after meeting where extent of rift was revealed" and it should come up
It was by James Phelp, August 27
It wasn't in direct quotes , but if that was a qualification of posts here, this whole thread would be only about 7 pages instead of 173 pages.
Obviously a couple here got their knickers in a knot and questionedthat whether what I said was true.
So they might want to check Pressreader out themselves.
Obviously they didn't actually read my original post.

As I said quite clearly in the first sentence, that the post previous to mine " sounded exactly like what was said in the first article about this debacle, and is exactly what is "supposed "to have been agreed with the club in the meeting with Farah and his manager,

I said "was supposed" to have , not that I have a certified copy of what was said,

I'm quite happy to admit if I'm wrong on a post, and have done that on more than one occasion and would be happy to do so on this one, only I'm not wrong,
As what I posted was what I read. And it was up to anyone as to what they want to think about it.
As I said , I doubt that 95 %of what's on this thread ( on both sides) could be verified. But I didn't write "supposed to be" just for the fun of it

 

[rialto]

The Ayoub/ Farah PR machine has been in overdrive these past few months so it isn't surprising there is so much anti WT management / coach stories out there for people to quote. Always two sides to a story and IMO we are mainly getting one.

Someones worried

Hahahaha

heres the text that goes around the circumference of each side.

Side A : do you know who i am…..you cant do this

Side B : do you know who i am ... i can do anything i want

flip that coin as high as you want because really, there is no rhyme or reason that everyone will agree on.
