This has been how i see it as well.
I supported Potter over the players last year but this time it is a little different as i dont rate Taylor.
It seems the whole mess was created by the coach not the players.
Thats the difference here.

Farahs taken pay cut to stay at Wests Tigers, headline on Seven this morning
Haven't seen any full story about it,
I thought it wasn't about money?
Maybe Harrys come to the rescue?
Didn't say anything about our "coach"

One thing most teams have who usually finish well below the eight have in common is…Drama, and we have it by the truck load.
In a perfect world it would be great if Farah and Taylor could form a partnership and take this club on a winning road, but it is obvious that will and can not happen, the board have invested and embraced in Taylors vision rightly or wrongly..so Farah is the one getting evicted. The last thing we want is another 12 months of the captain and the coach being on a different page

I just don't know anymore. I don't know who to believe, who to trust…. The club is an embarrassment... There is no professionalism... There is no PRIDE.... there is nothing but amateurism and I feel ashamed to admit I'm a West's Tigers fan.
I've lost all confidence in the joint... Lost all enthusiasm... Just feel like walking away.... Thankfully it's round 26 and somewhat all over in four days

..more likely a different Universe.!

So he'll get nearly 2 million quid to stay away from the place.
You're talking like the club won't honour his contract. They will, they want him away from the club. They'll just pay him to sit on his hands ala Sheens.
@Knuckles said:
Is Taylor being paid $1m a year?
Somehow I don't think so.

Hope so . There's been very little said on any news broadcasts , so it's all a bit vague yet,
Maybe Robbies written off his loan to them from his last contract?
@Cultured Bogan said:
That was the point CB.
How could it help to pay someone a million dollars out of your cap for two years running to sit on the sideline?
Farah has every right to the money, so no one can begrudge him his entitlement - especially when a chunk of it has been owed to him for years.
Amateur hour never ends at our club.
Forgive my ignorance, but when has anyone on this forum said he's not entitled to the money?
He will get it, as he should.
Have a think about it, if the club are willing to pay a massive chunk of his contract obviously the moves behind this are not financial ones. They don't want him near the club…

You may be right, it just came up as a headline
Don't know if it's on their full news broadcast or not.
I was on my way out when I saw it.
It was ch 7 who had the ( short) story last night about the " crises meeting" that was called last night with Bryden Lawyers prominent in that, 7 said that sponsors were angry about the situation , and other sponsors were also involved,
As that story about the money he was owed from his former contract came out originally on Saturday , I don't know if that was what the headline was about this morning, but maybe it is. With this saga, who knows???
@Cultured Bogan said:
Well, that obviously is the case.
Why doesn't someone have the guts to actually stand up, be accountable for the decision and give the real reason instead of hiding behind the salary cap.
(That still doesn't change the fact we'll be a million down on our cap.)

I thought our Chair did?
_Asked if Farah didn't fit the culture the club was trying to foster, Go said: "Taking a big-picture view of the team and looking at where the opportunities are to increase the unity, spirit of the team and the culture, a decision has been made about what needs to happen next.\
\
"As a result, we've informed Robbie we are giving him permission to speak to other people. We're not kicking him out, we've basically said 'based on what we want to achieve next year, we're happy for you to explore other options'. You'd have to say in the scheme of the big picture and what we need to build for the future, **there's a sentiment that no, he doesn't."**_

It's a long sentence, but in a nut shell, the board has made the decision that he doesn't fit the culture the club is trying to build.

Because they are trying to maintain his image and public profile.
