Theyre inconsistent…...tho their losses are usually close ones

Due for a loss then if true to their season thus far and I reckon our boys will grind out a win

For anyone still asking why Farah hasn't been picked…..

"I feel I am getting treated differently to some others," Farah said.

"I will continue being professional and try and keep my mouth shut and try not to do anything wrong because I think that is what they are trying to get me to do. But I think I am a bit smarter than that."

There's your answer. You don't publicly criticize and separate yourself from your club then expect to get called back up. He's made his bed.

This kills me this. He is 100% correct. He should be picked because he is the best option at dummy half and the club should step in and resolve this issue.

Still I hope we win this game. We have 2 of our best players out but we can still win it.

The club have resolved it Steve. That is why he is playing reserve grade.

Good team under the circumstances.

Plenty of pace still in that backline & I hope our pack smashes them this weekend.

Run hard, tackle hard, keep up that 2nd phase play. Time to stand up fellas!!

If that is the case that is truly ludicrous. Robbie was censured by the club for those comments and that should be the end of it. There has been suggestions that JT was duly censured for his handling of the whole affair last year. He apparently was spoken to and the club moved on. If we are continuing to punish Robbie over trying to secure a semi-final spot then some serious questions must be asked of the club.

I believe Robbie needs to be there as he adds an attacking option. Without Teddy, it will be harder to run those sweeping backline plays and we will need to attack more through the middle. Robbie provides our best option for this.

Our season is on the line this week. We lose and we are pretty much finished. i would be much more impressed with JT if he showed himself to put the team and the supporters first and pick the best 17 available, regardless of politics.

FWIW - I have kept out of the JT/RF spats on the forum. I have mixed feelings on Robbie. Yes he is a club legend and our best dummy half. He has by his own omission been outspoken at times to his (and the clubs) detriment. Should he leave - yes but only so we can out this chapter to bed.

What did Jason do wrong last year that require censuring. Please provide specific examples?

Was it the fact he told Farah there the club was looking beyond him for this year and that, whilst the club would honour his contract, he was free to look elsewhere?

Was it the fact that, when Farah leaked this to the media, he explained his position rationally and truthfully that, whilst he respect Robbie as a player and person, the club was looking for a change in direction?

Was it that an Assistant Coach told Robbie, honestly and frankly, that there was no guarantee he would be selected in first grade this year each week?

Please enlighten me.

As I said, I want specific examples, not some rant about how he showed a lack of respect for a club legend.

If you can't provide examples, cease making your rubbish claims.

Could we see Chee-Kam onto the bench, come on to center with Simon to fullback and Rankin at hooker. When dene comes back on Chee-Kam into backrow

Seriously? You're on a public forum and demanding answers? :roll

You're in no position to demand anything. Believe what you want but don't try to intimidate or bully anyone. It's just pitiful.

Unless anyone was present during the conversations between Taylor and Farah no one can rightly say who said what??
99% of opinion on this forum is made up of baseless claims - and it goes both ways.
Hence why its easy not to be convinced by what anyone else says - and so it goes on and on and on.

The difference is that Farah has displayed his poor behaviour in public. This is what he is being, rightly, criticised for.

Bullying and intimidating? Im just asking you to back up serious allegations you have made with facts. I haven't even asked for evidence, just the examples of what you say Taylor did.

Pot calling the kettle black given you come on here and rant, without substance, on Taylor's behaviour.

 

[Bird is the Word]

If we lose, it will be because Farah did not play. (which is a load of crap). But if we win, it will be because Penrith did not play well etc. etc.

:blah

So true… Nothing like a 1 point loss to bring out the anti Taylor brigade... How predictable and boring... Yawn.

Good line up, gonna be difficult without Ted, but if the Tigers believe they can win then i think they can as well. Big test of the teams character. Moses was poor last week, so i am sure he will be keen for a big one...

 

[Defiant]

Robbie tweeted about the hatchet job done on Taylor driving poor little Akoula to contemplate "perhaps,maybe" commit suicide.

Can we just stop talking about the guy? He nuked the bridge several times.

Best team we could pick except Chee-kam for Lovett, who's form seems to have dropped in the last month.

 

[tigerman80]

Id love to know why with our season the line last week playing at home and Brooks training all week and participating in the captains run, JT decided to err on the side of caution and leave him out. We win and we are 3 points ahead of the titans. Now we are left with must win games away from home against the warriors and panthers.

:laughing: You're a classic - demand specific examples as proof and then go on and spout innuendo yourself.
Can you provide specifics of Farah leaking anything to the media?
I'm sure you've never been involved in the media to have any idea how it works - and yes I have.

 

[foreveratiger]

Jason Taylor was never going to pick Robbie in his side this week , he is picking the best 17 at his disposal :laughing: .
Seriously this is one week where he could use Farah of the bench , JT will rotate Lovett with Halatau it's so predictable.

We know it's not about the best 17 JT was eluding to , out of all games this is the game when you would bring Farah on with 15 Minutes to go loosing by 12 Points and say to Robbie " mate use your experience to get us out of this , whatever that might be….the Season is on the line "
Nah!!!! why would we do that ? we are trying to force him out of the Club, why would JT want Robbie to potentially be the hero and maybe be able to pull us a win .

It's just clear as Daylight as to why Farah isn't playing and has nothing to do with this best 17 crap.

We win and we are 3 points ahead of the titans. Now we are left with must win games away from home against the warriors and panthers.

Unless you are Brooks, his doctor or Jason Taylor, it is hard to know what the risk of erring on the side of caution would have been. It is easy to throw stones at Taylor after a loss, however the reality is regardless of whether he was training or not, only those close to the situation would have known what the right call was… Thought JLJ had a solid game... There are plenty of reasons why we lost against the Titans (Poor goal kicking, handling, last tackle passes, as well as Titans forwards dominating when Woods / Sue were off for starters), i would have thought Brooks not being there was a fair way down the list of reasons why we lost...

 

[Club_Sandwich]

I have a bad feeling we are going to get found out as pretenders this Friday night. We have given a good account of ourselves and over achieved somewhat, but I don't think a team can match up against real premiership contenders without a genuine dummy half, whether it be Farah, Cherrington or Liddle. This is our season on the line, come Friday it's all over or we continue on with some hope. Our for and against could be the deciding factor if we are still in contention by the final round.

Well said
