Wests Tigers Sack Jason Taylor - OFFICIAL..

[Basil_Tiger]

Whoever the new Coach is they have to spend some time with our "brilliant young" halves,Brooks looks completely lost so far in attack,in defence Penrith & Canberra were sending their big-boppers straight at him,similar to what happened to Benji early in his career.Whilst it doesn't work everytime there is a major weakness in our left side defence which has ramifications when they swing the ball to the other side.

I wish Sironen and Blocker would vanish from the scene. They are constant baggers of the club and should know better. If only they had the class of Sterlo.

 

[tsjonathan]

Well Penrith bounced back and won Canberra bounced back and won Manly bounced back and won Souff's bounced back and won Canterbury bounced back and won..then there is us…

lol when have we bounced back? After 6 games perhaps

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Exactly Ink. Some of our boys might be secretly cheering that JT is gone, God forbid we jag someone like Hasler or Toovey though. They might be in for a rude shock.

On the other hand, they may respond better when they have confidence that the Coach has the ability and knowledge befitting a first grade Coach
A good number of them have never had one.

A very real possibility too GCT, but if it's found that it's not just the coach and they're in fact sub par footballers, it could backfire on them hideously.

There is doubt there is pressure on the senior players now, or the dreaded "Big 4".

Serve up more dud efforts and they won't ave a leg to stand on in terms of the money they want.

They have as much right to have an opinion, and voice it ,as we do
Actually they have much more of a right to do that than we do here ( and a first hand knowledge of the club too)
I'm not sure how many of us here played first grade for the club, or parent clubs.
But I'd think not many .
But we think we know better

 

[earl]

The team only has a few goers that are of decent standard and Farah was one of them so how smart was that. Last weeks game was so predictable and boring due to 99% of play the balls were just the dummy half immediately passing the ball - so predictable for the Raiders to anticipate as well.

Yeah pass it to the youngsters and watch them make fools of themselves more times than not or just being ineffective and not bending the line.

What mess did Taylor clean out at the Club? Got rid of ex top players who had positons there but did their replacements do any better when you consider the results of all three grades?

We are still paying a fortune for Farah to play excellently at Souths - his game comes off a lot more often than what the Tigers games come off this season.

Yep. You can label JT's decisions courageous but you could also label them really dumb. I think clearly he made lots of really really poor decisions.

live by the sword die by the sword. Just like JT's post match interviews, a cliche

Lol

Everything is great in hindsight.
Forget JT, the club has nobody left to blame for the rest of the season.
JT won't have the wooden spoon against his record with just 3 rounds coached out of 26 rounds.
The board is next to come crashing down. They exposed themselves by this debacle.

I was reading that Marina Go was at a function and introduced herself to Laurie Daley and asked who he was.
Haha haha. She is so out of depth.

That was actually mentioned on NRL 360 last night. Benny Elias was the most vocal but that's not unusual for Benny :unamused:

It's in a slothfield piece as well. They love a regurgitate.

Sheens iced Gibbs, Heighno, Ryan.
Potter iced Marshall.
Taylor iced Farah.

There's a clear trend, if I was anyone apart from Tedesco or Woods I'd be very worried. The coach Tigers need next needs to be able to stamp his authority on our side, and it will come at the expense of some player heads for sure.

Anyone getting picked in FG on a regular basis the last 12+ months I expect would have preferred Taylor to have stayed, to allow them to continue to be picked and their form to pick up whilst still playing firsts.

Getting rid of any player , even if it costs 700'000 to do it,and means losing a rep DH as well
May be worth it. If the reason was to let someone else run the team that could be logical as well, I suppose.
Where the really , really stupidity comes in , is where you don't have a suitable
Equally talented Dh to replace him, and you don't have a Coach who is capable enough to teach the "someone else "HOW to lead the team, ( which has been obvious for a while now)
Taylor did the first but hasn't done anything about replacing what he lost, and still cost us 700,000.
His replacement has not inproved any where near the amount that would make the whole stupid deal worthwhile and that's not entirely the fault of Moses.
I'd not defending Moses as he's had more chances than most guess,
But I was saying when they first started that they needed specialist help.
If they stay , they still do

:laughing: yet we still managed to best Souths with him there. He's not the silver bullet.

Just take solace in the fact that JT is no longer here BBF. The incessant whinging about Farah being gone does not change anything.

Well let's hope our next win is against a full team( not carrying a cripple for 3/4 and only two on the bench) that should be good to see
He's not a silver bullet, but he's better than anyone that we have in his position,

 

[eyewonder]

who knows whether the next coach will have success or will the same forum conversations occur in 18-24 months,just as they did with sheens and potter.

something had to give,and it was taylor.supporters and stakeholders demanded success,which didnt seem forthcoming.

i didnt like taylors apparent arrogance and reluctance to listen to those around him.
probably havent forgiven him for leaving wests in the 1990,s ,i suppose.

upward and onward i say.

 

[yeti]

I would disagree with those in this forum saying we are no better off now than we were 2 years ago.
Firstly, we are way better off because we will have a clean shot at every player coming on to the market at season's end. Our salary cap fiasco will be behind us and (apart from the Lawrence contract), we will have no 'baggage' that we have to carry.
Secondly, we are better off because will have at last seen the last of the 'original' boys club with Farah's departure.
A new coach with the appropriate credentials can ensure a new 'boys club' doesn't have a chance of getting off the ground by ensuring only those players worthy of a new contract are offered one.
Whether that coach sees value in Moses and Brookes, time will tell. But whomever that coach is, I will support fully, as I did with Potter and as I did with Taylor - up until his position was untenable with the results of recent weeks.
Hopefully, Cleary gets the gig. If he does, he'll have a huge advantage over both Potter and Taylor in having funds available to go in to the market place after new players, and rid the roster of the imposters that have hamstrung his predecessors.

Sterlo is no better, he has bagged Parra constantly over the years. Its what club legends do when they see the organisation they spilt blood for perform so poorly.

You can only play what's in front of you, but I can see what you saying and I somewhat agree.

We can argue over whether it was the right or wrong decision until the cows come home regarding Farah. The board are backing the coach to make the calls, JT made one, albeit unpopular, with the expectation that he would be held accountable for the results. We've capitulated in the last two weeks so it's quite clear that despite besting Farah (which would indeed suggest that we've filled his role well enough despite the obvious financial cost,) the problems were larger than him and Taylor was held accountable for that.

I want the club to allow it's coaches to make all football decisions, they should never be hamstrung by the board because of fear of fan backlash. When Teddy signed with Canberra I wasn't happy with it, but at the same time I had faith that the club had offered a reasonable contract and they weren't prepared to pay overs at the time for him. Obviously that worked in our favour (cue BBF with the inevitable Farah reference,) so we never felt the true repercussions of that decision which was fortunate but that suggests that the club had judged the situation reasonably well. We are very lucky in that Canberra were not in the same position as they are now, as ten Farah's in his ear wouldn't have kept him here.

 

[Swordy]

Can someone tell me how Farah was going to get to 250 gamesat Leichhardt? He was 'injured' for the last few rounds anyway.
