Robbie Farah..Discussion Thread.....

[bobo125]

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.

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.

:deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

I wonder when this will get resolved ? Surely before training starts ?

Another very important issue which has to be resolved before training starts is who will be Wests Tigers captain in 2016\. I'm tipping that there will be compromise is the Farah issue with Robbie asked to relinquish the captaincy if he wants to continue playing first grade which will probably be off the bench. If this occurs the new captain would likely be Luke Brookes.

Unless Farah finds another club, and or if the board reverses its stance on backing Taylor, there is no end to this just yet. Farah is on probation till the 22nd of December - if you believe what was reported after the Sept 30 meeting. Have a feeling there may be more than a few interested spectators at training sessions leading up to Christmas.

This is the way I see it as well. It could go on for the next 2 years until they are both gone.

By then this thread will be up to page 10,174!!

[ 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.

i like this bit.
the money and inability to attract players was a problem long before JT came here, before Potter, Farah, Pascoe, Mayer etc. all these people have no correlation with our issues atm except for the fact that they're not gus, bennet, hasler, bellamy etc.

it's got nothing to do with what happens with Farah or the other members of WT. it's not gonna change unless we're successful consistently.

We've attracted players before - Ellis, Blair, Taupau, Austin, Naiqama to name a few.

The situation isn't that bad. We signed a dud coach but hopefully he learns from his mistakes. The squad isn't that bad. We need some better players or we need the younger players like Sironen, Moses and Brooks to improve however we are not in a terrible situation. We underperformed this year but JT must have lost us 2-5 games with dud game plans at least. He seemed to realize that and change his approach towards the backend of the season.

We also seemed to have signed a bunch of players. I think we can have a decent season next year.

If the side plays as a tight team in a co-ordinated, positive manner throughout 2016 who knows where it will take them.

Tim Brasher explains why Wests Tigers must side with Jason Taylor in Robbie Farah power struggle
Ben Glover
FOX SPORTS
September 17, 2015 2:28PM

TIGERS legend Tim Brasher has encouraged the club to stick by Jason Taylor and his bid to remove Robbie Farah or face dire consequences.

The Farah saga has this week been supercharged by manager Sam Ayoub’s guest spot on the Fox NRL Market Watch podcast, with some explosive comments reigniting the club’s power play.

Ayoub said he wasn’t afraid to “embarrass plenty of people” at the club over its attempt to get rid of the club captain with two years remaining on his contract.

Farah is winning the PR war in a knockout but Brasher encouraged his beloved Tigers to stay strong and stick by Taylor regardless of the backlash.

“The Tigers can’t keep sacking coaches for the sake of Robbie Farah,” Brasher told Fox Sports News.

“I’ve got a bit of an idea of what’s happening in there but he just doesn’t seem to be the selfless leader that the young Tigers need.

“I think it was bad I suppose, the way they (the club) put it to Robbie and how they got rid of him.

“But maybe it’s something the Tigers need to move on and get their football back.”

Brasher acknowledged Ayoub wasn’t likely to be making empty threats about embarrassing people from the Tigers by going public with a document detailing the exchanges that led to Farah being asked to leave.

Older article that I haven't seen posted before but the market watch has an interview with Sam Ayoub that is ummm interesting

More of the same opinion pieces. Taylor has got another year to get it right or at the very least show improvement, with or without Farah. Based on our recruitment and the real threat of losing Tapau - if he has a good year next year, well he will have earned the right to hold his position. Anything like this year and well who knows what further damage is done. l just hope he has the nous to take some of the responsibility for what happened this year and make some changes - my fear is he is incapable of owning his errors, and Farah is proving to be the perfect scapegoat. Happy to be proven wrong.

I'm thinking a four way Thunderdome

Taylor and Go v Farah and Ayoub

And I reckon Go could take Ayoub

 

[larrycorowa]

I personally can't wait to see the back of him….just like with benji....yesterday's men. Our real leaders will emerge once this treacherous sook goes.

My biggest concern is that JT is not going to learn from his terrible season this year. If he learns and starts taking responsibility for the way we perform then we have a chance and JT does as well.

If he continues blaming others for the teams poor performances and coaches them with losing game plans then I hope they sack him.

I think if JT wants to win games he should be trying to get the most out of Robbie as he did well with Lawrence this year.

A great demonstration of loyalty Larry. I would imagine you were all over Farah when he intervened to stop Tedesco leaving for the Raiders.

These comments that are so anti Farah amaze me.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Stevetiger, I should have clearly explained my comment is about how many of our so-called supporters have turned on Farah but many have short memories about him intervening for Tedesco. A great display of loyalty and leadership which seems to be forgotten.
