fully agree.

Loved him as player.

That is it. He's proven to be nothing as a commentator and his inpact on the team has been minimal, if on-field results are anything to go by.

Paul Sironen manages to go about his business within Wests Tigers, do what is best for Wests Tigers and still respect where he came from.

Anybody from either "side" who cannot do the same should have nothing to do with Wests Tigers.

If one thing comes out of all of this as a positive that could be it

Robbie showed in the interview that this has not come from the playing group and he has a good relationship with the coach. Any Tigers fan who has abused Robbie is not a real fan.

If reports are true the board had a meeting to sack the coach recently and pulled out because of public backlash they must be a bunch of clowns to consider it in the first place. Why would you even consider sacking a coach so late in the season when the team is still in contention for the finals? Then be paying 3 head coaches simultaneously and pray Potter does not go the legal route like Sheens? Defies belief.

Everything I had read about Mayer says he is a good RL administrator. Having a poor relationship the captain is not a reason to be shown the door alone. But if management can't find a way to go forward then what are the options as whoever replaces Mayer will face the same issues with the board as it looks like the new NRL appointed independent commissioners won't be coming anytime soon.

Blocker is exactly what is wrong with this club. Pushing his Balmain agenda at every opportunity. Calling for Pearce as CEO is laughable, what experience does he have? What's even worse is that our club employs this clown, f**king sick joke.

Blocker is sick & tired of Tigers dramas being played out in the media - we know this because he rang one of his media mates & dribbled it all out to him. Thanks Blocker & f**k off.

Funny how he says Tallis hasn't said anything for two weeks.

When Tallis first opened his gob he spoke for 4 straight days and Farah didn't get involved.

Farah avoided the press and answering questions about it for 2 weeks.

He gets sick of being made to look like a dog so he defends himself and all of a sudden in Blocker's eyes "Farah is dragging it out"

The board & CEO had 2 weeks to resolve this issue and protect both player and coach, instead they let it continue to fester, if anything, adding to the festering.

You'd have thought a bloke in the media and at the club would have known a shitload better.

And to top it all off, On NRL 360 2-3 weeks ago, Blocker was on there and said that "Players are there to play, coaches are there to coach"

Farah echoed those words almost identically last night, but that was wrong of Farah to say according to Blocker.

f**king dimwit.

Blocker is always feeling the trolls.
Wasn't it just after the Dragons loss that Blocker said big news out of concord during the week and Mayer said nothing was.
Lots of these old blokes get pride on being in the inner circle and being in the "know" just so they can break some insignificant news or drama.

Whatever sells papers or gets the most likes/retweets. Lol.

Remember a few years back Roach was shooting off his mouth about how Farah wasn't good enough to play Origin.

Couldn't have said it better MU.
I used to idolise big blocker, now I just think he's being a dick. Not sure what his problem is with Robbie but he need to get over it or piss off !!

Blocker has never been known for his intelligence,this outburst just confirms he is an imbecile who has no idea of the matter at hand or what is required to fix it.

Not tough enough for Origin according to Blockhead. If that doesn't have the alarm bells ringing that the guy has no f**king clue I don't know what will.

Yeah that was one of Blockers best,what also is alarming is that people keep giving him coaching jobs :crazy:

I wonder what he says to the forwards he's 'coaching'? Something like "Rip into 'em, show 'em who's boss"

Realistically, all the CEOs have been lame ducks since the board sacked Longmuir. They can't stand up to the board, because if they do, they get the sack. Imagine if the new board had came on at the start of the year as intended. Potter would have been extended mid year when Mayer was pushing for it to happen and none of bullshit would have happened.
