Wests Tigers star Robbie Farah dropped from NRL to reserve grade

[GNR4LIFE]

Make no mistake this is Personal…...your not named on the bench 1 Day then you find yourself in the Intrust Cup the next .

Something must of gone down cause if he was carrying an injury he wouldn't even be playing in Reserve Grade.
Kiss Top 8 goodbye me thinks .

Farah was named on the bench #16

That's what i was saying hobbo , it's very odd.

I'm hoping this is all BS and that if it's not Official from the Wests Tigers site ? it's BS .
But something tells me where there is smoke there is fire.

The club's silence is as good as confirmation.

Maybe Robbie has told them he has signed with another club for 2017, and coaching staff is preparing team for Robbie exodus.

If it is a battle of the ego's problem, It's a shame that ego's can't be put aside for the benefit of the club.

As for being in reserve grade, I will, only believe its true when Robbie is filmed playing in reserve grade on Sat.
I thought it was a professional club.

 

[stevetiger]

Ridiculous if true. He should be pkay 80 minutes in the top grade.

It's crazy.

It is official lads,

Wests Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe said Farah's axing, which has ruined the club's plans to celebrate Farah's 250th NRL game at Leichhardt Oval against the Cowboys in round 22, isn't the end of his time at the club.

"This decision was purely made on what the coach believes is the best for the 80 minutes against St George Illawarra on Sunday," Pascoe told Fairfax Media.

"I would think Robbie is bitterly disappointed but he will commit and work as hard as he has throughout his career to get himself back in the NRL team.

"Every sporting club employs a coach to chose the best team they believe will give them the best winning chance each week. This is and never will be a board or CEO decision."

As long as he is replaced with either Liddle or Cherrington

Why would the club not play this out at the end of the season behind closed doors. Is JT trying to sabotage our chances of making the finals. There must be some playersxjn the team who are behind Farah and all this will lead to is further disunity. When Robbie scored the try against souths and got mobbed by the whole team, that showed me that he hasnt lost his team mates. Get this imposter who is pretending to be a NRL coach out of here. This is nothing but a personal agenda by JT , and the timing couldnt be more disgraceful.

Farah and Taylor have taken the full Wests Tigers ship down with them. Now everyone associated with Wests tigers is peed by this tumultuous affair involving two egomaniacs.

They both need to go, there are no winners in this ego contest, absolutely stupid.

 

[PYMBLEPETE]

Wow. Tiger Torch comes on here a couple of days ago and says its plain sailing between Taylor and Farah and now this. Something quite extraordinary must have occurred. I would be stunned if this doesnt de-rail our run for the 8.

One thing that can be said with 100% certainty is that this is not based on form as Farah has been very good coming off the bench.

 

[stevetiger]

Hey at least JT is leaving no stone unturned…if he is punted at the end of this year at least he will go away without any regrets around his decisions in 2016

There should be no if, I have been a JT critic for a long while, but I have laid off him lately, but there should be no if he is punted, he should be gone.
He can't surely ask us supporters to believe that Halatau is a better hooker, this is ego driven and so typical of the man, the sooner JT and his few mates leave the club the better the place will be. :angry:

100% correct.

We are just starting to travel well. It's obvious that Robbie should be starting at 9 but you just figure who cares if we are winning and he is getting plenty of game time. I only care about Robbie getting game time because he is easily the best hooker in the club.

Then JT goes and drops this bomb. Why ? It has to be personal. I rate Halatau as a bench player. He can come on in the backrow and at hooker to give those players a rest. He isn't a first grade 80 minute hooker. Farah is a SOO 80 minute hooker.

 

[lathami]

Burn the scarecrow!

 

[Glennb]

Wow. I have never been a JT fan and to be honest I havent been a Robbie fan for a while either. I have warmed to both and thought JT was bringing something good out of the team. To Farahs credit he also seems to have reluctantly accepted his new role and for the best part done well in it. Farah coming off thebench has worked well and is a part of out reasonable form of late.

The combination of initally naming Farah on the bench, his 250th game and then dumping him seems vicious, vindictive and mostly unneccessary. There must be omre but it doesnt paint anyone in a good light.

Pascoes words speak volumes IMO. ""Every sporting club employs a coach to chose the best team they believe will give them the best winning chance each week. This is and never will be a board or CEO decision." to me translates as "This stupid idea isnt ours, its totally that guy over there". Seems to have brought a few things to a head.

I want JT gone. This is stupid and unneccessary.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Farah not being there doesn't worry me half as much as the possibility of losing the playing group yet again. If they do, the club can stick it in 2017.

 

[Masterton]

Fairfax Media understands Taylor is strongly of the opinion Farah doesn't allow young superstars Mitchell Moses, Luke Brooks and James Tedesco to play with the same freedom and authority when he is on the field.

The Tigers want their young playmakers calling the shots and while Farah is still considered the state's best hooker, his style doesn't suit the way Taylor wants to play.

Ridiculous if true. He should be pkay 80 minutes in the top grade.

Of course he should be playing 80 minutes with us carrying another backrower on the bench, just when I started to believe we could make the 8, JT tries to destabilise the club. :bash

So you don't think any higher ups like O'Neill deserve to be questioned as well?

Everyone needs to be questioned over this call. If it was the right call for the team no problems but anyone can see that this has nothing to do with winning games.

I should add that this is standard fare from Taylor (and his cronies on here) since he came to the club. It's not about winning.

 

[jadtiger]

People claim Robbie has a large ego(which he does)but it is nothing compared to our coach.Hope we win on the weekend but it is laughable that our best no 9 will play reggies just to pander to Taylors prejudices.

 

[matchball]

Robbie isn't our saviour. He costs us more games than he wins for us.
If it was James Tedesco I'd understand the outrage but it's Robbie.

I've said this within the first hour of signing the Pasty Face Scarecrow .. Taylor's an imposter !
First grade players don't need a coach they've been playing footy from six years of age .They need a man manager .
Someone who the players look up to , someone you can confide in …(a mentor ).
Taylors a knob of the highest order and the tools who signed Taylor should be shown the door as well !

 

[lathami]

Seriously, we lost last game without farah, farah scored a try last game, Rankins in the team, Aloiai is in the team. But yes there is accountability, what the…

Wake up Jason, we know its you!
