Where does Jason Taylor go with our great hooker policy now?!

JT is a joke, Robbie & the RLPA should be taking him & the West Tigers to Fair Work Australia on grounds of discrimination. Farah would be one of the top 5 hookers in the league let alone at the Tigers, where Joel (backwards)Edwards wouldn't be in the top 5 reserve graders at the Tigers. This club is a train wreck & the only thing that has sheltered it is a couple of performances against below strength teams during Origin.

We have a good team. We have 3 SOO players. We have some great young talent. We have a decent pack of forwards and some great outside backs. We have two halves that could be really good but are inconsistent.

Overall though we have a real shot at having a good year or couple of years.

We have a problem though in that our coach is a destabilising influence at the club who consistently does stupid things.
 
No matter what we think, the decision has been made.
Sunday's match will prove it either way.

It's like watching a car crash , knowing that you are helpless,to stop it happening.

Farah knows we need money to secure the future of players like ET at the club AND HE DOESNT GIVE A DAMN !!!

He has accepted less money before & extended his contract to help the club out,how would you feel if your boss told you to look for another job so he can bring in more people to make the business more efficient? Rugby League is more than a sport, it is a business & players livelihood, which includes there health & well being.This club is never going to be able to compete financially with the high rollers of the league so it needs to become an employer of choice,to be able to not only attract players but also retain them. This club plagiarised Hawthorns strategic plan but is not smart enough to live by the values set out in it.

Thats my fear, I keep think back to the corresponding game a couple of years ago, it was ours for the taking but we got a pasting , and why..because of Farahgate. Now two years down the track and it has not been resolved. Pascoe will be superman to get a quick fix to this latest explosion, mind you I think he may be part of it.

Be nice to be just talking about how we are going to paste the arch enemy

Robbie is owed his contract. It's back ended because the club asked for those terms.

The management of the situation by Taylor is a disgrace.

Can you imagine clubs like Brisbane or Canterbury treating a club legend like this making him play out his last few games in reserve grade?

Further when those clubs decide to move players on it's done quietly and with respect.

Its difficult to go about it quietly when the player himself refuses to go quietly.

None of this sits well with me.

Robbie has a contract with us and he has been great for this club. This isn't a Benji situation we Benji expected too much and the club made the right call. I expect the club to make the same call on Robbie but next year.

Robbie is easily the best option at hooker for the club right now and probably next year as well.

So it's just a personal decision or a weak way to try and get rid of Robbie one year early.

Robbie will get every cent of his money whether he plays for us or not. The question is how much we pay v how much another club pays.

The thing is I don't believe that the Farah situation is like the Lewis situation. At the same time I wonder if JT is just trying to mimic Bennett.

What I'm asking is did it have to be handled this badly?
Fact is now it's done Robbie has to leave.
I can't see any circumstance now that he will stay in 2017.
I wonder in 10 years time who will be remembered more fondly by West Tigers fans?
I'm pretty sure who it will be. I don't need those 10 years.
 
I'm surprised that the pages of new posts regarding Farah's dropping hasn't gone crazy. Tells me either we're over the whole affair, or it's largely approved. Anyway, there's a game this week and I wonder how it'll pan out.

Yes I can imagine Brisbane and Canterbury doing this. Remember Wally Lewis being moved on by Wayne Bennett?

Was Wally Lewis dropped to Queensland cup or whatever was reserves for Broncos at the time?

I reckon that this is just bad form and there is no need for it.
