JT just stated on tripple m that we haven't sign Balin, and that we freed up cap and that Robbie is starting training and that's good for debt..

i think if Ballin comes to the tigers farah must be going the other way..i sure Barrett rates him.. i think he would enjoy his footy again if he makes the move. Its obvious he is not happy. he should move on and protect his legacy at the tigers, i dont want to see this play out over the next 2 years, ive seen enough of him now, we all need to turn a new leaf, he has to go…

Ballin ruptured his ACL in round 24 against Parramatta and will be up against it to return from the serious injury by round one in 2016.
–-------------------------------------------------------
Considering how some posters have turned on Robbie for having injury and the Club suffering now they are happy that Ballin is coming pushing Robbie out - certainly for consistency they must turn on Ballin if injury gets him down as well or even resent his coming in the first place??

Could the reality be that the deals involving Taupau and Balin were actually signed sealed and delivered during the last round or two of the season at around the same time Farah received his ultimatum? Since that time Farah has dug his heels in and Wests Tigers now find themselves with at least three or four first grade hookers.

Robbie Farah relinquishes Wests Tigers captaincy to end Jason Taylor stalemate

Robbie Farah has relinquished his captaincy of the Wests Tigers in an attempt to end to his stalemate with the club's management over his future at Concord Oval. Farah relinquished his role as skipper - a position he's said in the past was a source of personal pride - to allow all parties to move forward. Rugged prop Aaron Woods, who at 24 has represented NSW and Australia, has previously been touted as a successor to Farah's crown.
Regardless of who is appointed as the skipper for 2016 Farah's offer has a two-pronged effect. Firstly, it would allow for Taylor to work with a new leader after he made it clear he couldn't work any longer with Farah and, secondly, it would let the rake to focus on his own form.
Farah, who has $1.9 million left on his contract over the next two years, returns to pre-season training knowing there's every likelihood he could face the ignominy of playing in the NSW Cup.

Of course it will be the class clown to take over the captaincy. Fitting that someone with Woods personality would be the one to lead us as it reflects the clowns in the front office. There's no one more deserving in the entire team to take over than Lawrence in regards to how he carries himself on and off the field. But I guess you have to appease the folk who see Woods and say "that Woodsy is a knockabout bloke with his wild hair and bushy beard"
To clarify, I'm not upset that Woods was given the nod as much as I am disappointed for Lawrence being overlooked. The guy has paid his dues. He was the next in line till he was nearly crippled. He's sacrificed a lot for this club and really turned a corner this yr form wise, not to mention is a professional in every sense of the word. Very disappointing.

I agree GNR, but the captaincy may eliminate that 'class clown' attitude out of him. Either way, Farah not being captain Is s good move.
