WESTS Tigers Team V St George

[Tigerdave]

Probably would have preferred JJ and JAC, but at least there's ybeen a slight adjustment to that right edge…........that's something I guess.

What adjustment…..?

Doesn't Kev usually play on Nofo's side?

EDIT: nope, for some bizarre reason I thought Kev usually had a no. 3\. I take it back, we'll keep leaking points if previous form holds out.

Well it goes like this…back in Rowdy's centre days he wore 4 and played on the left with Tuiaki...then when Simona came along Rowdy was switched to the right but he loved the number 4 so he kept it which meant Simona had the number 3 sown up and plays on the left in the number 3 ..so then when Rowdy shifted to the backrow he got the number 12 and switched back to the left backrpw position traditionally the 11 but Rowdy likes even numbers that are divisible by 4 so then Kevvy came into the centres and inherited Rowdy's number 4 jumper and remained on the right hand side cause Simona is left-handed...

Hope that clears it up for everyone...

FIRST ON 7: Jason Taylor drops @robbiefarah to reserve grade re-igniting their feud @WestsTigers Exclusive details @7NewsSydney #7news

Some one should drop JT,luckily we are only playing Saints.

Doesn't matter what team it is. If Farah is supposedly dropped and JT intends on playing halatau and ET at hooker then it's gonna be a nightmare. Unless he brings in a backup hooker then we are going to be in for a rough game

 

[everett]

Does Edwards replace Farah on the bench or does Cherrington or Liddle able to be promoted (unless 2nd tier salary cap comes into play).

Will Farah play NSW Cup or sit out the game altogether?

Rumours will be flying around for days on social media about JT and Farah apparent feud. Hopefully this does not have much impact on the playing group as we need to beat St Chockers.

Robbie Farah dumped to reserve grade as Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor follows through with threat

ROBBIE Farah’s future at the Wests Tigers is again up in the air after he was sensationally dumped to reserve grade for this Sunday’s clash with the Dragons.

Farah and his club coach Jason Taylor have been at loggerheads since the off-season, when it was announced at a press conference that Farah was free to find another club.

Farah dropped a bombshell in that presser, revealing he had been told that if he didn’t move on he would likely find himself in reserve grade.

Circumstances have dictated that Farah has continued to have a bit-part role in the first grade side but it seems Taylor has finally decided to follow through with the threat with seven rounds to play this season.

The axing has not yet been made official but sources have confirmed to Fox Sports that Farah will not be part of the side to take on St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium.

On Tuesday afternoon Farah was named to start on the bench, a role he has played almost every week since coming back from a knee injury that kept him out for the first month of the season.

Despite contributing to the Tigers’ resurgence as the joint venture club competes for an unlikely finals berth, Taylor is set to use a combination of Dene Halatau and young guns Jacob Liddle and Manaia Cherrington at hooker for the rest of the season.

The decision is likely to leave Farah stranded just three games shy of a huge milestone for the club, with the former skipper currently sitting on 247 games.

Despite having one year remaining on his contract, speculation is only set to increase that he will leave the club in the off-season, with a switch to the Super League to finish his career the most likely option.

They did say Cherrington would be fit for this round when talking about cap restrictions on Liddle.

I'm stunned. Can't see how we can possibly be better of without Robbie.

That day can't come soon enough, I have laid off him for a while now, but not anymore, a super duper moronic decision, to file with all his others, way to bring the team together for the run home. :bash

Agree , just when the team looked harmonious and we're a shot at the 8 ….

Up up Cronulla lol

Every time I hear that I think of Rothfield tipping Cronulla to win the comp every year, and it leaves me hoping they lose.

yeah that's kinda off, I hope they let him get to 250…......it's not like he's been playing crap off the bench

Again before all and sundry grab their pitchforks and solely blame Taylor I've heard that Farah isn't on Buckets Xmas Card list and I'm sure Tiger Watto hinted the same a few weeks ago

Has anyone else heard the same ??

 

[Sco77y]

Anyone seen Siro playing recently? Has he been in NSW Cup, I don't usually watch a lot of those games. How's he doing if so? Improving a bit I hope..

He was very good last game. Ran strongly, worked hard in defense and offloaded many times. He earned a bench spot IMO but not to be.

Thanks mate. That's great to hear, still hoping he realises the potential we've all been waiting for, would be a much needed asset to the team.

 

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

We can't possibly be replacing Farah with the doughboy Joel Edwards can we? Taylor's admitted that team list was put out so as to tell the team before the media that Farah had been dropped.

I'd be expecting JJ Felise to be recalled with Chee Kam at 18th man unless Taylor can rustle up a bench hooker. If we could find a way to get Jacob Liddle into the cap we'd be in good shape.

 

[Tigerdave]

Cherry is available, back from injury…..

 

[Flippedy]

At this stage of his career JAC still needs the Bellamy touch to be a first grader

JAC will become a superstar - mark my words. Wingers like this don't come around too often - very bad loss imo, but what can you do?
