Robbie Farah..Discussion Thread.....

[Guest]

Yeah it was the past board who agreed to pay a 31 who hasn't been playing his best since 2011-2012 almost a million a year

Current board can see the error of there ways

Welcome to the Forum David

I don't know which games you have been watching but Farah has been the most consistant player in Wests Tigers history. Great players usually peak around 28 - 32 year bracket.

It is the current board who put us in this predicament.

The facts are Taylor cant coach and of the relationship is untenable.

It was evident at halftime at Campbelltown when we played the Warriors.

Mate , has he been 950 k consistent ??

Not even close , and it wasn't the current board who paid Farah those bucks

As I have said for a while if you support Robbie Farah you support someone who is currently doing everything in his power to destroy the WT's

And if you support that the club needs to be destroyed and Farah you aren't a WT's supporter in my books

The club he bleeds for

Maybe more apt would be the club he wants to spill every drop of blood

Great player he was , but he has been handed far too much power by previous management and we are now paying a huge price

Farah is a marquee player and captain(real) of my club. Is he worth 1 million to the Wests Tigers? Judging by the fans reaction he is worth more.

Either way we support the club first and foremost. Jason Taylors biggest achievement, almost delivering my club a maiden Wooden Spoon. Goodbye Jason Taylor.

Bye bye Dinko. And he's not worth anywhere near 1 mil to the Tigers.

I really think it is time to close this thread down. It is getting us nowhere but bad feelings against each other, over nothing really.

Farah looks like staying, he and JT are getting on just fine ( according to reports from players ), our training is going well with no injuries so far, and we have got some good recruits who have joined our team.

Let's forget about this other crap and get behind our team and our club for the benefit of all.

I was going to say something about ggt, david F and pawpaw. But it is my experience that it is really no good arguing with true believers as they never change their mind no matter the facts of the matter

So Mr. Moderator please bring an end to this divisive thread.

MAGPIECOL, YOU ARE WITHOUT DOUBT THE POSTER I RESPECT MOST!!!!

Do guys know what..? All this thread has achieved is who loves Robbie and who loves JT…each has their following...there has been no solution to the problem through our discussions...all its done is made me stock pile QUICKEZE and PANADOL...Fairdinkum ...

IMO it's he worst thread I've seen on here since I joined the forum many years ago. The continual back and forth saying the same thing over and over and over and over again is both painful and nauseating. Your lucky your taking panadol, I'm onto panadeine forte.

It's ridiculous Sirro. It's the same people going around and around and around and around. The problem is the moment you get into an argument with an idiot they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Very tempted to lock the thread at this point until something official comes out.

 

[Russell]

Hey Willow, I wish you would lock it.

Round and round is not the word for it.

I think it is only going because peeps want to reach 300.

It was all covered in the first 100 at the most.

Steve I think you will find that Happy has it on good authority that Moses and Brooks were dragged into this situation as bait by Team Ayoub and the fact Farah did not set the story straight is considered below the belt actions towards the youngsters.

I'm a huge believer in mates sticking up for each other and the fact Farah was happy to throw the kids under the bus has me on board with Happy Tiger on this one.

I don't think its "blind belief" that Farah is bad news, there is substance. That doesn't mean JT is innocent either, but what Farah has done is against the aussie mateship code and there's no coming back from that.

Is this really what happened. I'm sceptical. I can also understand Farah stating nothing. He cops it all the time at the moment.

I'm not writing Robbie off based on the stuff I read on here. I didn't even read anything about Brooks and Moses leaving apart from the Elias stunt where he also mentioned Tedesco.

I think all of this is a big media beat-up. JT and Robbie are working together now and lets hope it continues.

 

[stevetiger]

Funny - Farah marked as a player running the club for years having too much to say etc

This week reported that Jake Friend tells the Roosters if Farah signs he walks. Roosters pull out. Now we have the St George players reportedly throwing their two cents in about Farah coming to the club.
Now if it was reported that Farah did the same when we were negotiating a contract with a new player - he would be torn to shreds.

This is what gets me. It comes across as Robbie copping it left, right and centre and it doesn't ring true to me.

Everything he does he cops it.

Happy is telling the truth on this one steve. Up to you whether you believe him, but he's not one to feed also info on here.

I left Australia about six weeks ago and at the time I thought this thread had hit the wall,every possible thing had been discussed,now six weeks on it is still going strong with the same old stuff day in and day out being rehashed. Like others time to move on or at least to something actually happens. Anyway back in town in a week or so and my guess this thread will still be bubbling along and achieving nothing except getting a lot of people hot under the collar

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Our juniors are far too important to our future to risk with Taylor as coach.

Many will argue it will cost to much to sack him however the cost of retaining him is far too great in terms of the haemorrhaging of the club's brand.

Recall his explanation of the Forrester's Hotel (aka Kung Fu Fighting) incident

"Along with players (including David Fa'alogo), I engaged in pretend, light-weight, kung-fu play. David was a willing participant."

And in a case of a double standard of epic proportions when you consider his treatment of Farah, Taylor in response to Souths action to terminate him said

"I believe that I have been treated unfairly by the club, I will be taking the matter further and doing all I can to defend my honour and clear my good name."

Astonishing that Taylor fails to comprehend how his actions tarnished the reputation of Souths and that sponsors were very upset. But is defies rational thought that Taylor refers to clearing "my good name".

Thanks Willow and KS

I find stuff out occasionally and if I can tell I do

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

This is so out of line its almost crazy. Its this blind belief that Taylor has done nothing wrong and its all Robbie's fault. I just don't get it.

I should add that for a while I've though Farah is overrated and I still think Benji was significantly the better player.

Agree with above except that Farah was asked to look for another club because his behaviour and attitude was unacceptable. As said so many times no player is bigger than the club.

Actually that has not been stated by the club or Taylor since taylor started this. Only from people on here
Sorry that was posted before I was finished. But the point was valid
I'm not sure what you mean by threw them under a bus, but while not doubting that you have a contact close to this, after all the bs that I've heard about Farah since I've been here. I've gradually started not taking much notice of anything supposed to have been said , unless it is a direct quote from someone who said it or was there. A story only has to go through a couple of hands, to see it change ,sometimes by quite a bit.
Where is brooks and Moses manager during all this, isn't he paid to protect his clients interest.
As far as the overall picture goes it wouldn't change how I feel about clubs dumping players that are still on contract.
In this case having to put up with this coach is a waste of another season.

As for it being another board that signed Farah to this contract.
They are just representatives of the same club , and their signatures are still binding.
I've made no secret of thinking that he was overpaid, but that blame falls directly on WT's, not Farahnand his manager

Can't go along with believing Farah dragged the young guys in on purpose.
Even if he told a journo they just happened to be at the same place do you think they would write it?
Don't know how many of you have worked in the media or for newspapers - but that would be a 'no news ' story.
Oddly enough I googled to see who Ayoub represents and found this telling piece from Sportal…

Farah key to keeping rising Tigers
Test and Origin hooker **Robbie Farah is the Tigers' Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon card in their bid to keep rising stars James Tedesco and David Nofoulma.**
The three are all handled by the same player manager - Sam Ayoub - and it would take a brave manager to upset his marquee client by allowing two such talents to slip away to rival clubs.
Farah realises Tedesco and Nofoulma are the future of the Tigers - along with boom halfback Luke Brooks - **and has been working hard on convincing Ayoub to extend their current deals despite huge interest elsewhere.**
Farah even joked to reporters this week **'If Sam does let them leave, I'll be looking for a new manager'** in a none-too-subtle attempt to exert some influence.

Doesn't sound like a bloke throwing the kids under a bus.

The only bus I see is the one driven by the fans and it looks more like a hit and run

This thread is amazing. Anywhere else, 7-8 full pages of activity in a day means something big and official has happened.

In this thread, it means nothing!

Pretty sure the last record was Sheen's sacking ??

If Farah did agree to an extended contract to help cap and club's liquidity what would happen if joint venture folds before he is fully paId up

He didn't say that.
Why do you have to lie to make a point?
Trying to portray Farah as a victim. Your post is pathetic & your point is BS.. Players just can't up & walk

I laught when people lie… They think they're the only one that read any articles on the topic

I am not lying about anything and you are out of line accusing me of doing so. It was reported on the Triple mmm sports round up, So if it would make you happier I could have said that I heard it reported on Triple MMM is that true Innsaneink?
Stop acting so superior.

According to a SMH article on 29 August, Taylor confirmed to Ayoub that Farah's deal would be paid out. Here it is below

"Taylor said the club needed to move forward, and Ayoub said they needed to pay out Farah's deal. Taylor said that would happen".

And further, the SMH reports

"None of that will worry Taylor. He has told Farah the money will be forthcoming. He just wants Farah out of the club".

Just over a week ago Ayoub did ask for a full payout of Farah's contract somewhere various papers are reporting at $2.1 or more.

Why hasn't Taylor arranged for the contract to be paid out in full to avoid all the damage to the club? According to the SMH, Taylor advised that it would happen. Taylor apologists and Farah detractors on this forum were up in arms that Farah could believe is entitled to a payout. Yet it was confirmed by their idol that the payout would happen. Was this unauthorised?
