Wests Tigers 2016 Thread

Its fucking mental.
Taylor really hates him.

Just leave him on the bench if you hate him that much! He's still a fucking good player!

Should play first grade but told to make 50 tackles, 130+rm, 1LB, 5 offloads per game. No excuses.

You guys are lucky every one is laughing that the Eels atm.

Origin to ressies in a fortnight. Lol

Not axed, it's been a tough origin campaign and he's better suited in these twilight years as an impact player. He just needs a bex and a lie down. Everyone is on board with the decision. Trust me, I heard it in the post game presser.

No Farah No problems.

Shit like this makes me glad I laughed at the membership renewal team when they called. We're still a chance at the 8 and he wants to play fucking Halatau at 9, at least leave Farah on the bloody bench.

So if Liddle can't play then the whole planning for the future excuse is rubbish as well and it's a team selection based on a personality clash?

I hope he says, "fine. You can pay me a fortune to play footy in the park next year."

As a principle thing, I kinda want it to happen too.
"Fuck you, Im on a 900k contract if you dont pick me in firsts ill take my cash playing reggies"

As a fan of farah, I want to see him playing first grade at the tigers where he belongs tho.

WTF. been too busy to find out about Farah until now. I can't believe it, sure, drop him if his out of form but he is not and there is no way Halatau (and Cherrington most likely) is a better option then Farah.

JASON Taylor says the Wests Tigers are a better side without NSW hooker Robbie Farah but insisted his former skipper still has a future at the club. Well Guess what bone head, West Tigers are a better side without you a the helm.

Cherrington - injured
Ballin - season
Liddle - 2nd tier restriction
Farah - ressies

What you meant was Halatau and ET.

The writing was on the wall, Farah knew when he made the decision (which was his right under contract) to stay that he wasn't part of Taylor's plans. Taylor has essentially given Robbie a $100K origin payday by keeping him around in first grade. The timing last year wasn't fair on Farah but the testament of the man will be what he choses to do next year. I've read a lot of arguments about Farah being cheated out of 250 games about missing that milestone at Leichhardt in front of his home crowd. About him being a club legend, about him not deserving this treatment. These arguments all have 1 thing in common, they put the man above the team. It will be interesting to see if reports are true and JT has the dressing room. If so then the Tigers will finish on the brink of the 8 and better than they have since 2005 (slight exaggeration). Then JT becomes the best coach ever to don a whistle and clip board with the biggest kahuna's.

I'll give JT that, he does have the biggest Kahuna's of any man to coach the Tigers, but he is still a knob and I am yet to see JT come up with a good game plan for us and until then I stick by my opinion. If we had a better option at Hooker or Farah was out of form then I could understand it.

And by the way Cherrington is back. I know it doesn't mean he will automatically replace Farah because JT likes repeating his failed attempts with ET playing hooker.


Tweet by Farah's good mate Gibbsy. I had to laugh

What your saying is true but also dependant on the belief that Taylor is doing what's best for the team and I certainly don't see it that way.

Exactly. JT's gone all in on the river. He's gonna either be sending Farah and his supporters on their way with a huge serve of humble pie or he's going to make it impossible for Pascoe to back him.

Exactly, there is so much pressure on them to perform now.
Having farah in reggies just is not what is best for the team. Its just not true. Farah has actually looked really good coming from the bench in recent games and its amazing that he is playing farah in reggies.

If Tigers get beaten by a fair bit this weekend, will be very interesting to see what happens.

Oh the irony.

Robbie is going to the Dragons at the expense of Benji.
2 Tigers legends get to play their 250th game at the Dragons.

I dont understand why the dragons dont want rein

They're planning a parade

He's absolutely rubbish. He stunts the attack so badly. Passes to forwards standing still, doesn't get out of dummy half and hit a moving runner. His passes are pretty average as well. He's the #1 reason the dragons attack is horrible.

I wouldn't even take him at Newcastle.

It was only last year Rein was being talked up for Origin, what a fall from grace
