I am ambivalent about this but I can only assume it is the salary cap and the damn irresponsible contract sums being offered players by previous management pushing WT over the cliff into probable NRL sanction for breaches. Just a supposition on my part but I can only assume the reason Farah tapped on shoulder and not Lawrence (to the best of my knowledge) is that even if Lawrence had gone WT may well still been over the cap, meaning yet another player would have had to go. So, easier to push the higher paid player to make sure no others go. I agree its not a fair way to do things to Farah but............
Essentially, maybe WT we faced with either losing 1 x established player or 2 (1 x established and 1 x lesser). Either way they were in for a PR hiding over this mess. Not helped by former board members saying they'd do the same thing all over gain.
Also whilst many here pour scorn on the current WT management, to the best of my knowledge it was not them, that agreed to the contract amounts for Farah, Lawrence, Blair etc and also lets not g=forget the hysterical rush to upgrade the contracts to ridiculous amounts for the rookies Moses, Brooks and Tedesco- all no doubt adding fuel to the unsustainable salary levels vs the cap.
