Taylor

I 100% agree…
All these Farah fans out there need to remember a few things
He is a club champion and will always be remembered that way..
Tigers are not taking the money owned to him because if he goes they will be paying the difference so he does not miss out at all..
Its time for the club to move in another direction and if the coach was Bennett or Hasler no one would be saying a thing.. Wake up people
Last point - you don't go through 3 coaches and all 3 of them have the same problem with the same player.. With all the sh*t JT has coped for this sega we have just completed our 8 win of the season and equals last years total with 7 game to go..
Give JT a fair go

Agree totally.Without a culture of keeping issues within the playing group and not thru days of our lives style crying on live T.V we will never win a title.Love that Taylor has finally instilled some mental toughness into the playing group.Afgter Wobbies big whinge yesterday a weaker team would have imploded.Onwards and upwards with JT we head.
We won today despite Taylor's coaching.
Halatau was good for a while but got slower and slower to dummy half as the game progressed and provided some poor service as a result.
Playing Lovett in the centers again? Hopeless decision.
Rankin playing dummy half? Ridiculous.
Defence still aweful.
Taylor is easily the worst coach in the NRL. He is just lucky he has game breakers out wide with genuine pace who are mainly responsible for most of his wins through their attacking brilliance and forwards who provide decent scramble defence

There was a moment where moses rushed up, naiqama came up half way and Noufalama stayed back :bash . A decent team would have exposed our right side for much more than 6 points. Then JT genius move puts Lovett in the centres, are you kidding me. We are so good in attack, if only our defence was any good we could really give the comp a shake. If only we had a coach who was defence orientated. Oh wait we do lol lol.

The issue is not about service, legacy or money. This is about the coach having the right to pick his best team irrespective of outside influences. It is Taylors job on the line far more than it is Robbie Farahs.
The halves looked better today with more control, however in my opinion the decision to drop Robbie without having a Cherrington or Liddle on the bench is a massive call. To stick Rankin in there sends a very interesting message as it means that Robbie hasn't been selected to give the halves more control, nor because there is a better hooker option in the club.
I was concerned that Robbie was going to be forced out last year without a proper send off, and I do hope he gets the opportunity to have a final home game but the NRL is not about fairy-tales, it is about success.

We have some very average players and the coach does make some baffling decisions
We only beat 20% of the teams in the comp today playing like this, we are far from a finals team

We have improved each year under Taylor.He has been proven correct time and time again as without Wobbie and his $950,000 salary we saw what Moses can do today.Something JT has said repeatedly.Wobbie stifles Moses and it was plain as day for all to see today that JT was proven correct….again.That is to all those that do not have a sack JT agenda.

100% agree, to try and convince us fans that is our best 17 when Rankin a slow half starts on the wing then moves to dummy half, Lovett plays at centre, come on JT we are not stupid, your beef with Robbie has clouded your judgement.
And I would agree he is the worst coach in the NRL, because he doesn't learn from his mistakes, and he say's one thing about accountability then does another, hell I would cop almost anyone to get rid of this bloke.

They signed to pay him . Not a different club . So if they don't want him it's their debt , not someone else. Pay him what they owe him and the problems over. Then they can keep their crap Coach

I back his decision re Farah, but some of the stuff today was baffling.
Rankin as a dummy half with Lovett in the centres almost got us burned a couple of times. I am not sure if this was a stop gap measure due to Grant and Lawrence not being available, or whether it was the plan all along. If it was the plan, then it was a terrible one.
If the plan was to play Rankin at dummy half, then would have been better off with MCK on the bench in place odf Edwards/Lovett as he could handle centre much better than Lovett.

Very good point.I think MCK offers that coverage for Centre whereas Edwards/Lovett do not.We all remember that Panther debacle at L'cart last year where Lovett got burned big time when playing centre last year.Lovett has improved this year at backrow but him in the centres is like playing Woods on the wing.

You are only backing him about Robbie because you are a Robbie hater. Taylor has consistently made bad decisions. You touch on a few here but it's been a consistent theme since he came to the club.

Could work, apparently Robbie made him look pretty good yesterday, had a try great assist on him
One advantage of Robbie in reserves , is that the chances of the blokes around him are benefitting by having a first grade dummy half feeding them. We might unearth some more good players

Lucky we were playing the Drags today, teams that have any attack at all would have put 30 on us.
The JT lovers have had their day in the sun today against pretty weak opposition. Let's see how it all pans out against far better opposition in the weeks to come, Edwards Lovett and our beyond poor right side defence will get much sterner tests in the run home.

What were you guys expecting today? Outside the first 15 mins, and the last 5 mins of the first half, we did what we had to do to win. Would we have been beaten by a good side? maybe, but we weren't playing a better side today. This side has proven on their day they can compete with the top teams this yr, so we know what they are capable of.
