Robbie has to play

[Eddie]

Great point. It's pretty mature calling him Wobbie as well.

Robbie has to be in the top team. He is a player that can lead us to the finals and win us games then.

come on steve, I dont see you calling out the people who call Taylor names, such as pasty, scarecrow, weasel, pretender amongst other things. Though I do agree that its immature, but so far the majority of immaturity has come from the Farah supporters funnily enough

Fair point excluding the Farah supporters being the worst. The comments towards Robbie in my opinion are on another level.

Really? Burn the scarecrow has got a few runs. Have similar things been said about Farah?

Name calling on both sides is childish.

Robbie even if you hate him he has had 15 years at Wests Tigers. Jason Taylor has been here for 18 months.

So whilst I dont agree with it i am not surprised a few of our fans have a few names for Taylor. As they dont really see him as one of us, just someone passing by.

Just a thought.

Another thought is why Potter "passed by" and we suddenly fell in a heap after being 5th with 6 rounds to play in 2014\. Common theme with Robbie and Coach's or just coincidence?

no, we got absolutely decimated by injury

 

[tiga4eva]

Potter telling the Board that we should offer Robbie a 2 yr deal and not a 4yr deal was the reason for our downfall. I have no hatred for Farah,he's our best ever player,but the Club chose him over Potter. Why sack a Coach or not renew when we were so decimated by injury?

I agree with all that but i don't think Farahs name calling is on another level to what taylor has copped as Steve suggested.
Comments of 'burn farah' would not have been tolerated but burn the scarecrow have been around for months.

I thought s0bbie has a sore leg?

Rankin to 7 is the no brainer

Rankin to 7 is the no brainer

Agree, and Addo Carr to the wing

Playing Rob off the bench would benefit the team and unite the fans at LO for a huge day against a team that is clearly better than us. It won't happen as it would further add fuel to the fire if we won the game.

That said we need a hooker replacing Dene and Cherro won't hit the salary cap otherwise I would play Liddle. I think Lovett and Rankin should be in NSW cup and we need to bring in JAC and Cherro.
The other 2 that are impressive are Rod Griffin and JJ Felise.

Playing Robbie next week will turn the match into a circus. Will be a bigger version of they media show that happened in reggies a couple of weeks ago.

Thats what I said.

With Brooks out for 3-5 weeks I actually think Taylor is leaving all cards on the table.

The team should be able to focus solely on the game, and not the sideshow that will occur should Robbie get picked.

Would be ironic if they played him at half, and Halatau suddenly started to take 3 steps sideways before passing to him. It might provide a practical lesson around what the coach is asking him to do and the reasons why.

 

[ricksen]

Littlejohn straight swap for me, thought I'd bring in Cherrington for Lovett on the bench to play 40-50 mins.

 

[Knuckles]

Give Farah back his number nine jersey please Jason.

Yep. A massive step back for the club if they ever pick that guy again.

 

[larrycorowa]

Robbie should be there if we want to win. Halatau is great though. If we were playing moneyball then there is no way Robbie makes the team because Halatau offers pretty close to what Robbie offers.

This won't be popular but Ava, Sue and Grant aren't far off Woods as well.

Maybe im being too harsh but recently poor Timmy Grant hasnt been really able to make ground
He seems to have lost his leg drive and stops at moment of impact.
Hoping he gets his mojo back

Once again maybe i'm being too critical but i have seem him make a bigger impact that seems to be missing right now

Loving Big boy Ava though. Hard, aggressive and brings a lot of energy

I reckon Grant was great. I think Woods had the least impact out of all our props. I also thought ET wasn't that great.

Your comment on Woods prove what most of us have suspected for some time…..you have nfi

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Farah has done his dash guys. JLJ worked well there.

If Brooks is out, Rankin to halves and JAC on the wing. Not really weakening any spots there.

EDIT: Just saw the injury report, not been on the forum for a couple of days and didn't know Brooks was out for weeks.

 

[rex2ce]

Minimum changes to a winning side, rowdy to 5/8 Moses to half,Sironen 2row

Thats 3 changes, where JLJ to half is one….

 

[rex2ce]

Was always lousy at maths

 

[Knuckles]

It's a big ask to expect a win over the Cowboys without Brooks and Farah. I wish them well.
