Farah a shit ?
He is an absolute legend compared the complete lowlife Gordon Tallis. Remember this is the guy that was all about the $s when he played and he got more per min than any other RL player will ever get, a career built on playing 30 mins a game and belting players when they were not looking.

Now he is perfectly content is stirring up problems with any NSW club or player he can.

Remind us who the guy is trying to get his good coach and good honest guy fired so his mate can have the top job?

You seem completely f**king moronic so I'll tell you. It's poor little Wobbie Fawah.

Taken from Wests Tigers website


Following intense speculation regarding the future of Mick Potter as Head Coach of Wests Tigers, the Club’s Board has met tonight and decided that contract negotiations will be put on hold until the side’ 2014 campaign comes to an end.

The meeting was originally convened on the basis that Mick Potter requested direction on his future.

The Board and Management fully support the coaching staff and players and want to give them every chance to push towards a top eight finish this season.

Wests Tigers Chairman Mike Bailey said that the focus for the Club needs to be on the field.

"The team has fought hard to put us in a position to compete for a top eight finish in 2014,” said Bailey. “Ongoing speculation about the Club’s three coaches is unhelpful and destabilising at a time where we need unity. Members and sponsors have voiced their disappointment at how this has been played out in the open forum. This stops now.”

Bailey went on to say that this decision was the best to allow Wests Tigers players to continue to focus on football.

"At no stage have the players approached the Board on matters relating to the coaching staff.”

Head Coach Mick Potter confirmed that he shares the Board’s sentiment.

"Ideally I would have like to have had this sorted months ago but am happy to put this to one side until our team’s future is known."

The Club will make no further comment on this issue.

Just heard on Channel 9 news update that Robbie Farah wants out of the Tigers. Confirmed by his manager.

For Wests sake the wording 'three coaches' infering that Potter is a pretender can't be left at that, nothing but public proof will save them from ridicule

Tigers early in the year were playing good footy, coach can't help losing due
to rep duties and injuries, when they had a fully fit squad they were well in the 8 and no one really exspected them to do much this year so the pressure on the coach is abit harsh, his obviously lost support for some other reasons.

All that confirmed is that journalists are massive merkins.

So basically they are going to sack him at the end of the year, the board must think people are stupid, if there wasn't anything to it why did they hold the emergency board meeting to begin with, saying Potter wanted it sounds like bullshit, no coach is going to want the board to get together to discuss his future and even if it were the case how come they couldn't provide the direction potter was supposedly seeking?

I like that Gordon has come out and publicly named farah

A nice change from the bullshit of 'rugby league circles are saying' or 'my sources tell me' that Matty johns and the rest use

I don't care if it was a 'private conversation' good on him. Should be more of it.
 

big hit!

What a dump of a joint.

No surprise that cronulla and wests have been two of the biggest basket cases of the last couple of years. Two players who think they're the bosses of their respective clubs.

I bet you my bottom dollar 9 told Gould & Rabs to bang on & on & on about Potter, just to get everyone to watch the news afterwards with their 'big story'.

If it's Tallis' word against Farah's, I know who I believe. Tallis is a no nonsense, call-it-as-I-see-it honest bloke. Farah, not so much

If they were fair dinkum, they would sign Potter for 2015, and if they make the top 8 this year, they would sign him for 2016 too. If any NRL club make an offer to sign Potter, then Potter should take it. Wests Tigers obviously don't appreciate him, or the good hard work he has done at that club, and is treating him like dirt. What a rabble!
