Robbie Farah..Discussion Thread.....

Hahaha …. Too many seniors moments in this thread !!!!

So getting back to the subject, if Robbie passes his probation on Dec 22 he stays :slight_smile:
To me, the odds are shortening that he will don the number 9 in 2016 :slight_smile:

And the thread has descended into who posts the most in here or not..

Whoopee do if someone posts 13%, or if someone calls you out for it, or if the figures are wrong, or right… or whatever.

Perhaps the next stat should be % total of posts some people have written directed at other posters instead of on the topic...

Or we could all just agree to call each other out & see who scores the most internet tough-guy points I guess...

What else are we going to argue about? The media has gone cold on this story. We need something else to fight about while we wait for the next tidbit of innuendo to come from the media.
 
Ivan Cleary, the Panthers & Phil Gould tried to help the Tigers out by making a media story come to life, but unfortunately Matt Lodge was able to bring the press back our way.

If nothing else, our guys are good for newspaper time..

I think that GNR and Gallager among others have got me covered well and truly when it comes to posts on this thread :laughing:

You have 13% of posts in this thread…almost 250 comments which are basically the same thing over and over and over

Before you have a go at someone Ink, it may pay to be accurate, (or even reasonably close) with your figures.
This thread has 3252 posts. I have , as you said, posted 250 approx.
last time that I looked, 250 is NOT 13% of the posts in this thread.
Actually it is approx 7%
im sure you weren't inflating figures to make your post sound better.
Maybe it was just a brain snap.

My error.

Point stands

Is not my problem gc gets upset when someone else points out the truth about him
 
What happens if Farah stays at Concord?

It’s no secret Jason Taylor isn’t a member of Robbie Farah’s fan club. In fact, the Tigers coach would be happier if his skipper wasn’t anywhere near his senior squad when training resumes for 2016.

So what happens to the NSW hooker and (former?) Tigers leader if he decides to stay at the club? New CEO Justin Pascoe’s statement last week only muddied the water further, when he said Farah was free to play first grade if Taylor would select him. But it’s ultimately the coach’s call as to who lines up in his 17 on game day.

It’s believed the Tigers have organised a meeting in December with Farah, during which he will be appraised by Taylor in regards to his ethic and commitment towards the team’s training program. Basically, he has about a month to impress Taylor and keep his job.

Oh Boy!!!!! there doing everything they can to oust him .

So is Woods , Tedesco , Brooks etc in for the same treatment ? and have meetings ?
What a joke of a Club .
HE HAS A CONTRACT AND IS MAYBE NOT BOTHERED PLAYING RESERVE GRADE IF IT CAME TO IT.

If there not going to pay him out in December if he fails to impress JT with his training program they should learn to zip it…...cause the Club will look like fools if Farah kills it in Reserve Grade .
Farah ain't going anywhere , at 32 i dare say he would hardly be bothered with what the Club are trying to do . He will go to the Super League in 2 years time anyway.

The Statement we should be hearing IMO is : Today the Club and the Farah Camp have come to a compromise to terminate his Contract for the 2017 Season and will play out his final year for the Club in 2016 , but NO!!!!! lets see how irritated we can get Farah and make him have a meeting in December and embarrasses his integrity .

All players should be held accountable for performances both on the field and the training paddock…we've seen with the many chances Lodge was given and how that has turned out,,,,.For years we have been calling for this but it has never eventuated ...the Club has gone from one mediocrity to another..... the Blair article..the plethora of players who left the Club and comment that how much more professional their new Club is.....it's about time for accountability not the same acceptance of mediocrity of the past....it is what Pascoe was on about in his first address to members and not just from the players...it has to come from the top of the organisation down to the ball boys...

FWIW...the Farah ultimatum came about from the Farah camp and his lawyer itself requesting more information as to the reasons he was asked to move on and find another Club...Farah clearly now knows where he stands in the Wests Tigers organisation....

You will not get an argument from me in terms of trying to be a more Professional Club , i'm all for
it.
Farah should not escape any special treatment just cause he has been here for 12 years or he is Club Captain , but all the players need to have the same treatment as this could be classified as Bullying and harassment .

I have a Job Appraisal twice a year and get judged on Punctuality , Team effectiveness , Code of Conduct , Confidentiality…..you name it .
These Players should be no different in terms of there Stats , attitude to training , Performance , Behaviour etc and should be held accountable . But unless all these things are stipulated in there Contracts ( subject to playing performance ) the Club can't terminate there Contracts unless things that Robert Lui and Lodge have done .

So lets say Farah fails ? what happens in December ? There is nothing the Club can do , if Farah wants to he can be here the next 2 years in Reserve Grade if it came to that .
The Club should of not said anything about this December thing and left it in house , i was impressed that Pascoe said that Farah has a Contract that the Club will honour......just leave it that , if things can be arranged for him to go elsewhere so be it but this December thing just Muddies things up a bit and the same treatment should be the same with all our Players .
 
If the spectators were considered the jury then Farah is innocent as charged your honour. Also one poll shows 60 to 40 in favour of Farah. Over the past few years they have had many injuries to hinder them, that was the main problem, and when Farah was not there they lost too many. One could say it is faulty coaching to rely too much on a key player. I am only assuming he was the key because they won a lot more with him. And if correct as claimed, that the forwards weren't strong enough well that has nothing to do with Farah.

Don't you think it's weird that our best player by a mile since our inception in 2000 can only get 60% of the vote in a poll. More to it than playing ability.

One only has to see how he goes off at refs to see he is prickly in sticking up for the team, the passion and dedication. The other side of the same coin is that maybe he expects the boys to do the same 80 mins a game. I am not saying that they don't only it seems that way when he makes so many tackles and they lose too much without him. I like who ever they put on the field but thought Moses and Brook were sort of not built strong enough yet. I was not following closely at time to see why Lote Tuquri went but I hope he was not pushed. That disappointed me. When considering how many teams that Jason played for was he ever really in the engine room to understand the game thoroughly and instinctively like Farah does. Just thinking if he did he would not have played for so many clubs, they would have held onto him. We know why Big Willy gets moved around ha ha.
