This report has been written and is true - that can't really be argued.

It is true that a report has been written.

The rest is up for debate.

So now it's the RLPA that has an agenda against the club? I understand why people are very sceptical about DT articles, but what reason would the Players' Association to doctor a report?

Take a little time to investigate the following links RLPA <=> Clint Newton <=> Sam Ayoub <=> Robbie Farah.

It was reported around October last year that the RLPA were commissioning this report. it was conducted by a lawyer with links to Ayoub. I remember the lawyer came out in the press with similar negative reports about the Tigers before the report was even complete.

This is a Farah/Ayoub stitch up. Make no mistake.

We can talk as much as we like but we never know the truth. The club has supposedly been ranked 2 in player welfare. The best and true barometer of how we are going inthis respect is how many players and what quality of players have re-signed with the club during this time.

On that point, Dene Halatau was a RLPA board member over the last few years and I cant believe he would have no only signed with the club but also taken on his new role if it was as toxic as reported.

 

[Tim Sheens]

The real story should be about the role or lack thereof that one of the few high profile RLPA representative and long serving leader of the team had in attending to supposed issues.

Oh, thats right, they were busy negotiating a higher match fee for the game's elite that is more than a third than the annual salary of some of their teammates that could well have been suffering.

Oh, that's right - whatever happens in the world of rugby league it must be Farah's fault.
Nice attempt to change the topic.
I'm sure things have improved at the club since that report and, like others, can't see the point in revisiting it without anything new to add.
However, things obviously NEEDED to be done when you take this line alone out of the report… **'document will reveal 85% of the players interviewed complained of unacceptable conditions at the club.'**

Single out Farah and/or change the topic? Farah is the topic, the rest of the article is just fill. Regardless, I was pointing to the RLPA representatives in plural,,and naturally thought that words such as "they" and "their" spelt that out.

Suprised though that only eighty five percent thought the condition of the gym unacceptable.

 

[happy_tiger]

Load of crap. Not worth discussing.

Let's move on.

:sign:

True Col , but if the media throws enough mud , some of it will unfortunately stick

The report was written/compliled by ROBBIE FARAHS LAWYER! What do you think it is going to say. 5 out of 6 people = 85%. Dont you think Robbie is going to say…."talk to me, Akouila, Tapou, Sirro etc etc". Under those circumstances I am amazaed it wasnt 100%.

Shame on Robbie Farah & Sam Ayoub for allowing the Daily Telegraph to bring Mosese into their vindictive agenda against the club!

Mosese tragically passed at the beginning of 2013 so I can see how the Telegraph would link it to current administration…

To run his photo on the front page is disgusting..

Did this really make the front page of the Sunday paper?


oh god. that is truly pathetic.
i hope mosese's family ask for an apology- not on the front page, but with a personal meeting

very low

 

[newtiger]

This^^^
Ayoubs dirty little DNA is all over this. It's the same narrative.

Scum of the highest order.

[TigerOfBankstown]

The way some people on here have *immediately* gone to Robbie bloody Farah as their get-out-of-jail excuse for anything negative about the Tigers is truly incredible. It's like Stalin's Russia. Bad harvest? Blame Trotsky. Poverty? Trotsky. Counterrevolutionary forces in the orthodox church? Trotsky.

Why are you surprised when Australia politics has gone far left.. constant media propaganda re feminism, multi culturalism, marriage rites, globalisation.. Anything said to object to the status quo ends up in ridicule and character assassination..

Even at junior football level. No more points semis or grand finals.. people are taught to be weak in the head and dare not stand up for oneself or mate or god forbid you will be written off..

Same approach at the Tigers and many other organisations.. I even see it my enterprise.. certain managers, bully, lie, undermine and even steal though that's ok as long as you are supported, the little guy doesn't stand a chance.. Hence as I've said before I'm not surprised and even more not surprised with the likes of go..

Australia is becoming more communist than the communists..

I'm not so sure Farah has anything to do with the leaking of the report. I do suspect Ayoub though. He made threats to the club during the Farah saga and this may well be him carrying through as a show of his "power".

Forget the "leaking" of the report, I suspect both of them in the COMMISSIONING of the report. Yes it has been released under the guise of RLPA but it has been done by Farahs lawyer and Clint Newton has close ties to Ayoub. Ayoub threatens to release a dirt file on Tigers, then a "RLPA" investigation is carried out by Farahs lawyer. It's not a difficult trail.

I am NOT a fan of Taylor but I am very glad Robbie is gone. I was a huge fan of his playing and thought he should have played out the season off the bench in firsts…but for this to happen I think shows his true colours. There HAVE been reports out of the club for a LONG time about a toxic culture and there has always been one common denominator. I previously not wanted to believe it but if something walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck......

If Mosese was my son , I'd be wanting more than apology :imp:

I'd want James Phelp's head on a stick

Disgusting ,Disgraceful ,Despicable

The club can't let this lie , the NRL needs to start sticking it's head into some of the reporting on the game

Its does far more harm than good

How can we get a link to this clowns email's address , and just bombard this piece of excrement to hell

Using suicide to write a story , does it get any lower ??

 

[mustafa]

So we're just going to pretend that a player committing suicide at our club is unprecedented? There was a Cowboys 20's player who killed himself not long after Moses did. But then, they don't have a criminal player agent with a vendetta against their club do they.

Mate you think like me and I smell a rat !!

I don't see it in their timeline on news feed on the rlpa website.

[Snake]

Good interview with Taylor on 2gb , there are a few people that want to bring the club down..certain players can not deal with decisions made about the team dynamic and how they will not fit into it moving forward this happens at all clubs.
The club has strived this season to implement new structures in this area and have succeeded ,he stated he wants any player or staff member that has been bullied on his watch to step up and make comments …
Unnamed players love this one there is the hook a garbage article ... man up guys because if the club pursues legal action you will not be unnamed for long ..go hard Tigers and drag these bums into court!

 

[Glennb]

I think that the fact that the RLPA has allowed this report to be compiled by Robbies lawyer and released in their name, reflects very poorly on them.

How very convenient.
I hope the NRL steps in and asks to see proof. You can't make these sort of accusations without someone being made to answer. It's serious allegations.
Let's hope legal action is a cause for action also.
