Mr Balmain Boy show us facts :unamused: .
Show everyone on here when did the Club come out and publicly say that his Contract will be honoured from the Onset ?
If my memory serves me right ? Pascoe was the only that publicly stated that his Contract will be honoured , before that our Amateurish Club didn't know how to handle the whole situation hence why they went in MUTE mode while our Brand was copping a hammering .

An excerpt from Marina Go's "A letter to Wests Tigers members"
So what happens from here? Robbie’s contract has not been terminated, he has a contract with this Club for the next two seasons and that will be financially **honoured no matter what**.
From August 28, a day or two after the story first broke.

Mate I doubt very much if anyone on this forum knows what the 'facts' are. Apart from the public statements from both parties all I read are rumours and innuendo.

"bloody wog" I can't recall being used when Tommy was capt of Maggies - say it in their face personally to prove the point. They are usually goers on the field and that is what's important. That attitude is what got Tony Abbot booted out.

Can I just put something out there because this really irks me. A contract always has to be honored unless BOTH parties come to an agreement or there is cause for dismissal (which has to be in the contract too). Otherwise the effected party can sue and recoup what they were promised. e.g. sheens.
All this rubbish how a contract doesn't mean anything these days is just that. Rubbish. A contract always obligates each party to certain actions until the end of that contract which can be when both parties rescind the contract for mutual benefit or there is a 'get-out' clause which allows 1 party to rescind the contract based on a breach of terms. e.g. Lodge/Carney.

Honouring the contract on a monetary level I dont think was ever the problem - it was always about Farah having the opportunity to still play first grade with the Wests Tigers, based on his ability to do so. The threat of not being able to do so - is what caused the blow up - IMO.
@Balmain Boy said:
From the beginning the club has said nothing other than we'll honour his contract. Pascoe was merely re-enforcing what had previously been said.
If in December it's decided that Robbie is not a team player and is exerting his deficiencies onto the playing group then Taylor just says, we're better off without you, play train with nsw cup or go to another club.
If he's that much of a bad influence for the culture of our club, then it doesn't matter whether it's a kid coming through the ranks or an aging star, they get moved on.
And interesting that when one of our former ceo's, Longmuir i think, tried to implement a policy of standards and targets he promptly lost the confidence of the playing group and coach who thought it was unreasonable to have standards to be judged against and he lost his job.
From the beginning the Club never said they will honour his Contract , they did everything possible to oust him…..even Pascoe admitted that things are said in the heat of the moment when questioned about Farah playing Reserve Grade , that is admitting that in fact that was said to Robbie.
When Pascoe came into the Club and was looking at the situation with the Farah saga ? he knew he had to extinguish the flame and try and win some fans back if they were to have any chance of getting people to renew there Memberships for next Season , so he said that it will honour his Contract cause in actual fact they have no choice unless they pay him out , he just realized what an Amateurish comment it was ( well i hope he did ) .
For the Club it obviously didn't go to plan hence why Farah will be reporting to pre Season training and for that reason are still making it complicated by indicating a meeting will take place in December.
If you are going to conduct a meeting of appraisal into how Farah has been going up until December ? then all other players must follow suit or you lose all credibility in this processes .
Also you would need to have a Squad of 30 - 35 players starting Pre Season just in case some have failed the meeting in December and need to go to NSW Cup that way when deciding your 25 Squad players there familiar with the Players they have been training with .
In my opinion make no mistake that there doing everything in there power to make it complicated for Farah and force him out of here , but you think he will fail the meeting in December and be pushed to NSW Cup ? I don't think he will.....will look terrible on the Club if he is playing out of his skin in NSW Cup.
Anyway we are all entitled to our opinions on this matter .
Lol, just reading your first sentence shows your bias in the matter. Don't try and make it sound like your speaking objectively when you're reporting your opinion. The club HAS certainly said from the onset they will honour his contract. (and you do realise that the phrase honouring his contract simply means paying him?!) Unless his contract had a requirement that he play NRL which would be extremely rare.
His contract ties him to the club for money. That's it. If he's not playing well, injured, or being disruptive he can be dropped just like anyone.
And if no-one else has demonstrated any behavioural issues then why would they need to be brought in for an additional meeting, on top of the one when they first report to pre-season training?
We don't know exactly what Robbie's been doing, but if he cuts the crap out, swallows his ego and just get's down to training bloody hard, listening to his coach and playing footy then he'll be with us in 2016.

Your last sentence is a bit contradictory BB. Since "We don't know exactly what Robbie's been doing" tell us what BS he should cut out, and what do you know about his ego? And as for your suggestion that he should train hard like he doesn't allready? From all reports over his time at WT he's been known as a very good , hard trainer. As for listening to the coach? Where is the proof he isn't? Just asking in case you know something we don't.

Iam now on the other side of the world and this thread refuses to go away,the same stuff has been said a million times and we keep going around in circles and what facts we know seem to get turned and twisted depending what camp you are sitting.
I say put it to bed,what happens happens it is not like we can do anything about it . Time to start focusing on2016, but I guess there will be 1000 more pages before this thread finally dies

Look, I don't want to get involved in this spat between you two and my position on this whole affair is neutral. However, Balmain Boy is correct. I remember Marina Go saying that the club would honour Robbie's contract whether he stayed or went and this was very early in the piece.
