You may think we'll "invariably" fail. I have a quiet confidence we'll do OK.

If you read my post carefully you would have noticed that I placed a question mark. I don't object to your opinion that Farah will always be a great - you are entitled to your opinion. What I do object to is the continual, yes continual, stabbing in the back of our Head Coach by a select few in this forum. Our 2017 season is about to begin so wouldn't it be fair to let Taylor do his job instead of howling him down at every opportunity?

If the report is correct in Robbie refusing to play in a position where he thought he was liable to further damage his hand then I fully back him and resent him being put into that position. There are things more important than trying to save one game. Obviously someone needed to stand up to the guy and who more appropriate than the captain? A true captain.

If Farah, at someone else's request, lets himself be abused when in a dangerous situation then he becomes a goose as well as the coach. As stated by himself: he is too smart for that. And by good example presumably his team mates would follow the same course when already injured. But the coach has learnt the lesson taught by Farah not to interfere if a player is chosen to play for Australia. Unfortunately the coach has lost his teacher.
Good Grief… :brick:

Well Newtown,its entirely up to the individual to think whether Farah is a hero or club great…
If the select few have to stop ridiculing Taylor,even now before a ball is kicked ,then they won't have anything to whinge and gripe about.....that's about all they can discuss...and here Iam thinking,that everyone on here supports our club,players and coaching staff .....this is a forum for WESTS TIGERS FANS AND SUPPORTERS...gee you get sick of the Taylor bashing..

True Tiger, I can understand where you are coming from, but the coach pinpointed defence as our big weakness and now we have lost our two best defenders in a period of months. As well we could be heavily subsidising them playing elsewhere thus causing cap trouble on the home front. After two years our defence is still shocking and we have one of the youngsters occasionally telling the captain what to do. But once they run out onto the field they have my full support no matter who is in or out.
I get a bit bemused by those who supported Taylor's move to oust Farah to expect those who were against it to show a level of support for Taylor at this point
I'm pretty sure that your feelings about the situation have not changed, so why would you expect that Taylor should be supported now by those who feel it
was a bad decision?
Just like RF is not the WTs neither is JT and until he
demonstrates that he is the coach to see this team reach some level of acceptable success he will be
viewed as the coach that ousted RF, and for many,
like it or not, that's about all he has been successful at so far. That we can all agree on.

And Telltails the ousting of RF may have been stuffed up as we are supposedly still forking out his salary.

If you offload a contracted player to another club, of course you pay a percentage of his salary - large or small. Nevertheless, the club will be paying out less than if the player - even Robbie - had stayed, thus the cap position is improved.
Every club does this and there is always a win/win, otherwise none of these deals would be done.

The difference is that you don't have the benefit of the services of the player that you are still paying.

BBF,the point I have been trying to make is,Taylor did identify our defense as being poor and said he would rectify that area,look it still is poor,however the bloke who was the defensive coach has ultimately moved on,that being Kidwell…now Taylor has employed new D coaches to help the squad better themselves in that area...to me JT is doing his best to sort it out as well as coach some very youthful talented guys to play NRL,no easy task when they were straight out of NYC and into the big arena....with this being JTs final year of his contract,I would have thought he deserved the chance to fulfill his commitment to the team and club,I personally think that the result of last year is a step to an even better season ahead,JT has been burdened with the previous managements poor desicions so his job has been that bit more difficult... How about we all hope that the hard work he is doing this preseason that he does get the team to be a decent defensive unit and we do finish in the top 6/8 this year....he must be given the chance to fulfill his obligations within the 3 year timespan he was allocated within his contract.....as I said before...it is only fair he is given that opportunity....
