Run Captain Run

I wouldn't of taken Robbie to the Press Conference this week… It would be a circus and the club did the right thing by attempting to deflect the issue.

I havnt seen any footage of Robbie running away, so if that happened, that is pretty sad.

I'd be more disappointed with a comment I read today that Robbie brushed passed the kids and wouldn't sign any autographs before the game.

The club needs to get the team out of town early for this weekends game to simply get away from the media hype!
 
As Matt Johns would certainly know from experience, Robbie Farah becomes very agitated at being ambushed. I think it is understandable why, even as captain, he would not like to walk into a horde of vultures. I remember Bennett, when he arrived back in Australia, as coach of an unsuccessful Australian World Cup, doing exactly the same thing. Let the vultures find someone else for a headline.
 
We saw how he handled criticism when Johns ambushed him over the Marshall feud, running and crying on twitter. Not hard to see why don't people like him. Other teams supporters look at him the same way we look at Jamie Soward. Before the couple of whingers who play the role of Robbie's knights in shining armour attack me, i'm not saying i don't like him, i actually love him like a brother from another mother but take your love goggles off for a second, he handles these things like a teenage girl. Hasn't looked good at all through this, and running away from the media like that isn't going to make things any better, only going to make things worse.
 
In what universe is Robbie Farah required to be front and centre for the amusement of New Ltd and their trash publications? The real culprit is Gorden Tallis, whom it seems is made of teflon. His mates at News have spent the better part of a week promoting the banjo playing halfwit as a 'straight shooter' and the only commentator who 'calls it as it is'. The truth is that Tallis has betrayed a confidence and that's just unforgivable. Farah is not accountable to News or any of the other bottom dwellers that make up the RL media
 
f uck the media, why would you kiss the backsides and pander to the people pouring fuel on the flames of this whole mess? if he did turn up to the media conference he should be taking the piss out of all the journos.

Well for starters he works for NEWS, I suppose he will shy away from his regular bit on NRL360 until things get a bit easier. I got no problem with him not attending the presser but running away is just embarassing himself.
 
Seriously….the words people are using...you can tell theyre fed on a media sensationalist diet. DONT SWALLOW THE HEADLINES!

"Crawling.....crawling ffs ...thru a hole in the fence"

A hole?? FFS

"Escaping"

He ran away....did he literally run? From chasing media armed with Mics??

Please...lets keep it a bit real.

I didnt see it last night turned off at full time, was it broadcast? I imagine it wouldve been long after the game

IMO he just did what he's good at...he found a hole in de-fence :neutral_face:

All I know is this whole situation is beyond embarrassing, the club as a whole is a laughing stock who ever it is that's the cause of this should be put to the sword. If it's Farah release him if it's Mayer sack him if it's the board they need to be removed, enough is enough.
One thing for sure Farah the captain of the club crawling through a joke in the fence is a disgraceful look, if it was anyone else they would cop dogs abuse for that.

There was a hole in the fence?? Damn… I paid to get in!

I think they cut one for him :unamused:
 
This is a huge storm in a tea cup really - the a…holes in the media strike again! Seriously, who could blame Farah for not wanting to front this pack of dirt digging parasites? He has already told them where he stands on the coaching and internal issues etc, why the hell should he keep having to explain himself?

Next thing we will hear is Farah streaked naked from the dressing sheds after he was approached by a journo with a microphone!
 
Well….I just saw footage of it on channel 10

Personally I dont give a rats, but its a poor look....just gives the media mor ammo and theyve lapped it up today
 
Not the best way to stop the media focusing on him. It appears to be a storm in a tea cup, it's been blown out of proportion and has been handled badly.

Can Robbie Farah please explain the sad site of himself running across the field into a waiting car to speed off.I do know that it has been a stressful week but please what is that all about.
I know that Coach Potter is on the nose with most here but talk about the quality of the man to face down the past week with integrity and guts.
Mr Farah please google LEADERSHIP.

They will save that one for the Sex Tape!
 
The fact that he feels the need to justify it still speaks wonders for how he deals with the criticism.
