This forum has a lot of members and people with some good footy brains who are passionate about This club.
It's a forum for people to share their thoughts on the club and matters just like these. This is to see what the majority believe should happen.
No one is being disrespectful. Everyone respects Farah and are thankful for everything he's done, some just believe it's time to move in different directions and others don't. It's just a matter of opinion.

Like many others, I would have preferred it never got to this. But now that it has, Farah staying would destabilise the club even more.

That's the problem….
My take on it:
The club isn't going to sack Taylor anytime soon… The earliest they would sack him would be at a point next season when our chances of a top 8 spot are already gone.
So, seeing as Taylor is going to be sticking around for now, and I don't think farah has the professionalism to get past this saga and treat Taylor with respect, farah has to go.
If the question was "should they have told farah in the first instance that he isn't wanted for 2016?", I would've answered with a no. But what's done is done, and JT/the board need to stick to their guns.

Honestly, how would everyone rate Farah's performances over the last 2 years? That's the question the management have to ask. How is he contributing to the team? Although this may be due to the new structure
At the same time. I don't know if Cherrington is ready to be honest.

Extremely surprised with how close this is.
I understand where the board is coming from, I also understand that they have to pay out Robbie regardless, so part of me feels why should we pay for him to play against us? it doesn't make too much sense.
In saying that, if there's a destabilizing factor involved, we really need to start moving forward and I feel the board is honestly trying to move forward. If they need to do this to keep making, what they feel, are positive changes to the culture at the club, then so be it.
In the end, it's all been handled really poorly though, which doesn't say much about changes at the club. If what Ayoub said is true and that they would look at SL in 2017, then that would be a good compromise. So I voted for stay, but just for next year.

He hasn't given his all this season :crazy
By his own admission he has stated he hasn't been at his best, but this stuff has probably been simmering away since JT has been at the club (although Farah appears to have not had any issues with the coach) that we know of, but we are not privvy to everything that is going on behind the scenes :question: what we are all doing is speculating :brick:

From my perspective as a Wests Tigers fan, I am a WT fan first and foremost. I am capable of looking at the situation and deciding what I believe is best for the team to progress. While I value Farah's contribution to the team as a player, he is only one player.
I am more than happy to show him the respect he deserves as a player and long term contributor to the club. However I'm not blinded by the adulation that seems to be affecting others. If he is a player that is not performing or is undermining the functioning of the team, from my perspective, he is not showing his respect for the team that I support. I'm not going go be grief stricken if moves are then made to remove him.
Respect is a two way street.

Apart from his motivating game against the Warriors Robbie has had a very quiet season.

By my reading the poll favours Robbie leaving by quite a bit.
He still has 2 years left on his contract but a lot of "Stay" voters only want him here for only one more year, then get rid of him.

The fact that Farah has been disrespected should not sway your opinion on whether you want him to stay or not. I'm pretty sure if we did a poll on "Do you think this could have been handled better?" the response on that would be yes 100%. But that is not the topic. It is entirely unrelated.

My question about the reactions from the players is this
Are they acting in support of Robbie because they are angry about the boards decision or are they angry at the way they have been coached this season
Because if its a/ (the players are angry at the board) we could have something for the players to feed off for 2016
If Farah was to stay we could create a massive player siege mentality to prove the board /JT wrong with the decision to get rid of him
