Should/Will RF get his Leichhardt farewell given we are out of contention?

[everett]

Should he get a chance to farewell in his last game. Big Yes from me

Will he get a chance. A big NO from Taylor.

Sad our two heros from 2005 will finish their careers in the State Cup.

:neutral_face:

He should but Taylor won't give him that satisfaction, would be nice to send DH and RF out that way

How awkward for DH a mate of Farahs to be given a send off at Leichardt - not a one club man and nothing for Farah!!
And still the silence is deafening - makes you start to wonder.

Good to see that you are starting to wonder Tt.

Fox are reporting that benji will play in the last game. I'm sure if Farah signs elsewhere taylor will afford him the same respect.
But him moving on seems to have stalled.

I think now that the club has shown their hand, there's no going back for Farah. He called their bluff to an extent last year thinking it wouldn't come to this, but now that the reality has hit him, you would assume he'll move on, but anything's possible with this guy.

 

[WestsSupporter]

no because i dont like him

 

[boonboon]

How could Robbie Farah be given a farewell in Round 26 when he still has a contract for next year ?

 

[851]

Benji got dumped yesterday. Where is the outrage for a club legend?
Don't see him kicking and screaming to the journalists.

Benji is not a dragons legend, he has played 53 games for them.

It says a lot about where we've been taken as a club when so many people are vehemently against the biggest player this club has produced being allowed one last game at the home ground he treasures most (let's not kid ourselves).

If in all likelihood the game is a dead-rubber, what are the drawbacks?

The possible drawback is that if he still hasn't signed for another club, he could take it as a sign that he has forced his way back into firsts and should hang around for another season.

Do we need another Farah/Taylor season? Will the club still have any supporters?

We won't be getting another season of it. Farah is not stupid enough to think one last game is him forcing his way back into the team. It would be advisable of JT & the club to say he's in the team to send him off in style at Leichhardt, no mixed messages.

 

[philgood]

Unfortunately robbie is gone. Is deciding between sharks or souths. Should have a decision by late this week or early next week.

Jason taylor…what a moron of a coach! Playing players out of position and being a detriment to the team just so he doesnt choose farah. What a vindictive weak human

 

[Knuckles]

Why didn't Taylor just say that from the start …. That Farah will never play fg again .... Rather than getting some of the fans hopes up and disappointing them .... Maybe didn't have the courage.

 

[trafford10]

This is the kind of sentimental nonsense that ensures that the club will not progress forwards.

This is a professional and competitive environment, If he's not up to it anymore then he shouldn't be playing.

Thanks for the memories and the service, but RF is not the WT and WT are not RF.

Seriously can't believe people are actually thinking like this.

I'm not a Robbie supporter by any stretch. I was, but not after what he has done.

But I think he deserves a farewell. We are a club that will never complete solely with the chequebook. We need to show the juniors that you'll suffer consequenses if you don't meet expectations, but the club will still take the high ground and treat you with repect when appropriate, even if you haven't shown the club any.

We need to retain our players by instilling in our juniors with culture, pride, passion and mateship.

We'll never be a force if we complete on money alone.

Holy crap. Rather a back hander there.

Interesting how the dragons will give benji marshall the respect he deserves and give him a farewell game. He has been there how long??? And played how many games??? Interesting we probably arent going to do the same for one of our club legends. We really could take a leaf out of the dragons book on treating people with respect and dignity.

If Marshall slagged Saints off in the media, he probably wouldn't get a farewell either. How hard is it for some of you to understand.

Actually , Marshall and mcregor were involved in a very loud and angry confrontation a few weeks ago, which made its way to the media. Only difference the coaches ego is not getting in the way of sending off a great servant of the game.

It was media BS.

Marshall denied it…

If you can find a quote where Marshall directly slagged Mary off to the media, in front of cameras i will stand corrected. An argument behind closed doors is hearsay, and even if true is fine as there's probably been dozens and dozens of cases of it between players and coaches over the yrs. The difference is Farah told the media directly. No matter how justified his comments were you simply don't do that, and for all you know JT could be under a directive from above not to pick Farah due to his public insubordination. But JT will always be an easy target and scapegoat.

I will agree with you that for all we know JT is just following orders from up above. It would not suprise me at all. If thats the case then they really have thrown JT under a bus. Oneil has been very quiet and Pascoe has made it fairly clear that the coach picks the team.

Lets not forget this whole thing started with the club trying to force farahs hand by dropping him so they could retain ET. So while Farah has been no saint in this debacle, the club hasnt been that far behind.

No, it started halfway through last season when Farah was told he was free to negotiate with other clubs.

While he was still contracted, so yes the club started this whole debacle. Thank you for backing my point up.
