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.

I dont think he is all that bad

JT doesn't care if we win, just how we perform in his eyes, who needs points to be successful?

“The big thing for me is that it is not just about results,” Taylor said. “It is not just about the scoreboard at the end of the game. It’s about the performance of the team. I’m looking for different things in lots of different areas every week to be comfortable and confident that we are heading in the right direction.

“While it’s an important game, it’s not just the scoreboard which will determine if decisions have been right or wrong. Lots of people will want to put it that way but that’s not how I see it.

“The cohesion of the team (is what I am looking for). Guys being fluent and understanding their roles and playing a game that has us looking like we are working together across the field.”

I thought results were important, silly me!

If you do everything right and dont win the game, you did something wrong.

Farah's comments yesterday were pretty spot on.

Wow, what a deadset cop out, I think he thinks we are all really really stupid.

Yeah, I can't believe JT said that, well actually I can because he says that in every interview after a loss

You lot know Coach Cleary is free...

Cleary is employed by the NRL at the moment, Toovey is free.


There are reports on the Wests Tigers Forum that in JT's 3 year contract, he would only get the 3rd year if the Tigers made the top 8 in his 2nd year. I doubt it to be true, more wishful thinking I believe.

I've heard there's been a trade off. The board are willing to be lax on the top 8 if we get close but have made it Top 4 year 3 for an extension

Fucking dreaming unless Robbie does a serious injury and we all of a sudden have a spare 900k, even then I doubt Taylor could get a team to the top 4.

What if we sack him for speaking out after Saturday's game. We use the money to re-sign ET and pick up someone else. Worst case it goes to court and the club loses. Will that count to the cap ? If it does then we are over retrospectively and pay the fine.

Don't know the answer but I'd hate for us to become the Parra V2.0

Congratulations on the win yesterday, JT's decision to dump Farah did allow Moses more of a free hand, but our dummy half performance wasn't exactly fluid and now we have another dummy half in the squad namely Rankin, plays wing, plays halves, kicks goals, washes JT cars, polishes JT knob and now can play dummy half, talk about versatile.

We might have won but its only because we played the Dragons as their attack is shite and made our defense look Melbourne like. Sure our goal line defense looked pretty good but we missed 46 tackles to their 27. On a brighter note, Moses and Brooks looked good (in attack only)

There's no way that it's a sackable offence. Would be nice though.

Didn't realise the mis-tackle count    .  Like you say though, our scramble when they were pushing our line set after set was very very good and whilst it racked up missed tackles, it stopped them scoring.  In saying that, yep, we looked better because the Dragons couldn't hold the ball as well.

If you stormed into your CEO's office and gave him a mouthful, then went against a company directive and publicly bad mouthed your boss, what would your employer do ? If they wanted you gone bad enough they'd build a case.

He didnt really do that tho.. he more just spoke about his direct supervisor contradicting himself

which bit ? you want to change bad mouthed to insinuated his direct supervisor was at fault/ inept because he contradicted himself.

OK that makes busting into the CEO's office and disregarding direct orders much more palatable.

It's hard to compare a football club to a business. At first glance I'd say in a standard job the way that the club has treated Farah has broken all sorts of HR laws not to mention he'd probably be eligible for redundancy by now due to forced changes to his job description.
That's not to say I agree with either side in this but I can't stand the BS that Taylor is using to justify his position when Stevie Wonder could see through it, he must think everyone watching whats going on has gotten into Honeysetts stash  

Are you suggesting we give him a redundancy then bring him back next year as a consultant to work with the halves on being a play maker ?
