Angry Wests Tigers fans have unloaded on Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor in the first of what they say will be several protests aimed at overturning the decision to sack Robbie Farah.
Around 30 Tigers fans met outside Concord Oval on Tuesday to voice their disgust at Farah's treatment, demanding his reinstatement ahead of the 2016 season.
The NSW hooker has been told to find another club or start next year in reserve grade.
With security guards employed at each entrance to Tigers HQ, supporters chanted "We want Robbie" and "No Robbie, no members" in front of signs backing the veteran hooker.
"This year's club motto is 'Unite, Commit, Achieve' - Jason Taylor's motto is 'Divide, Oppose, Fail'," long-time fan Joe Moussa told the crowd.
"He has failed at all clubs he has coached. He has to go.
"Why are we keeping someone who has only failed and getting someone who has achieved everything? It doesn’t make sense.
"We've got nothing left here and that's why we're here to fight.
"We're not going to give up."
Fellow supporter Robert Bechara accused the club of lacking spirit, respect and decency.
"Wests Tigers have sent a clear message to anyone aspiring to play for the club: We don't care if you win a competition with us. We don't care how many years you play with us. We will chew you up and spit you out," he said.
"The club expects fans to be loyal. Why would anyone stay loyal to an organisation that has no soul, no spirit, no respect and no decency?
"If Farah goes, it's the last straw for me. I don't want to be represented by an incompetent administration. The club will lose me forever.
Protest organiser Nellie Hage is urging fans not to buy 2016 memberships or ask for their money back if they have already purchased them.
"Maybe then the club will listen to us," she told Sportal.
"We want Robbie to stay and he knows that. Now we need the club to listen."
The group is planning further protests over the next few weeks.

I'm not usually one to tell supporters to go support other teams, but if these 30 people (that in itself is hilarious) are serious about turning their backs on the club, then go. Obviously they weren't real fans in the first place. I know supporters get attached to players, but the player never comes before the club, and no player is bigger than the club.
If we were to finish in the top next yr without him (I know it won't happen) does anyone honestly think these people wouldn't be back?

I'm sure Souths have some room on the bandwagon after dropping out on the weekend. There'd be be especially plenty if Alien fell off, but I'm sure we'd have felt a tremor ranging around 7.5 on the Richter scale.

Another media hype for Robbie and his manager,poor hard done by Robbie…I have said it before and I will say it again...every time there is a drama within the club,most of the time RF is in the middle of it....I'm sick and tired of the RF hype in the joint...he has been very good over the years ,but now he is not up to the standard he was,and I don't care about his origin stints,that's all he has been interested in the last couple of years...take it like a man and move on Robbie,you had the pedestal for a long,long time now it's over,do the right thing and go gracefully,otherwise people will be glad to see the back of you,sooner rather than later.....
Deadset I have had enough of this garbage...30 people crying in their hankies ...what about the other 5500 that have had an interest in this club for over 15years,don't see them protesting at Concorde....I could be wrong..but enough is enough... 😢

"Robbie Farah in the Jason Taylor bin". That's the intelligence the club is up against.
What do these protesters want,Robbie to finish his career at the WTs,then be CEO,coach and chairperson after that,Fairdinkum grow up or grow a brain life goes on,the club is bigger than one bloke..ask Benji,"I won't play for another club" Marshall..the best thing he did was get out…before the going got tough....
So everybody on here bagging these people think that because their opinion is different it is worth more?
If they are up in arms about it enough to protest good luck to them.
If you don't agree, fair enough - no need to insult them.
You've more than likely been sitting near them at some stage and cheering on the team in unison.
Oh, sorry - maybe they were in the cheap seats.
