Wonder If Someone Will Ever Write A Tell-All Book About This Club From Around 2011 Onwards

[matchball]

Farah was instructed to play a certain way and didn't like it.
Shows what sort of self entitlement we have hanging around the club.
Ballin is the senior leader we need. His attitude is fresh air.

Maybe Farah didn't like it but kept beautiful defence, attack when allowed and cheekily enough to do, perfect grubber kicks and field goals, but half of the team could play like idiots and got away with it right to the last game of season. It was those players who blundered and underperformed who had the self entitlement. Farah gave up the captaincy, that act was not self-entitlement!

Now we will subside Farah to do magic and score tries elsewhere - surely worth a few chapters in any book on stupidity.

It's all great in hindsight. Too bad it's all history.

It was not hindsight, it was predicted and screamed about at the time of going into those games. I only perceived it as stubbornness that for the sake of pushing one person out (a handy try scorer and field goal kicker) a weaker team was fielded for crucial games. Against the Titan RF was exactly type of player that was needed. I consider self entitlement of idiocy on the coaching team's part that they could play havoc in switching players around when playing against fellow finalist-seeking teams.

2016 season is over. Robbie is gone. Deal with it.
JT will be judged on 2017 more closely now he has a team he wants.
No need to worry though, we won't win every game next year so you'll get plenty of opportunities to bag the coach further.

He's a dog with a bone. He'll whinge about it until JT goes.

I am by far not the most fanatical West Tiger fan but I really did want to see them get to the final when they were so close. I wanted to see for the fans on this site because (not like me) they are true believers. They could have still gotten rid of Farah in the off season. As far as I am concerned the coaching team did a Kyrgios in that not giving the best shot and closing down the game before started.

If you are all happy with that well the team don't have to perform any better at all - their was only aim for the team last season was to get rid of Farah, goal achieved! But I thought you were not so small minded as that and thought for the betterment of NRL as well.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It's all academic now… I don't see how continuing to complain about it will change the events.

I supported Farah being played off the bench. The man who is hired to coach the team thought otherwise. I daresay he was also a hatchet man on behalf of the board. Seldom will you see a high profile player be knifed by a coach without support of the board. There's a lot more here than what we're hearing. The club preferred to stay silent and only provide official news, Farah decided to drive a media campaign through his manager. The truth is somewhere between I would gather.

Well what Byron seems to conveniently leave out of his inconvenient truth is Farah only played 2 of a possible 7 State Cup games he had a calf-strain a virus then a hip-flexor injury which subsequently ruled him out for the season prior to those final games..

Look BBF this Farah thing is dead and buried - he now plays for another club.

However I do dispute that a weaker team was fielded - what was fielded was a team that was all pulling in the one direction, and a team that did not have a player playing to his own agenda. Whether we would have won with him in the team is a matter of opinion (we know yours being the president of the Robbie Farah fan club) - but personally whether he played or not I don't think we would have won. For a few of those last games he was not available through injury so could not have been selected anyway.

For all concerned let RF references RIP until the wounds heal.

Thanks Byron, good to see a player interview, but maybe you should pay a bit of attention to him and relate it to how a fellow rake you support could have handled things in a similar manner.
