[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742222, member: 1899"] [h=1]Wests Tigers forced into embarrassing 11th hour backflip that may see Farah become one club player[/h] TWO months after under-pressure Tigers coach Jason Taylor attempted to punt Robbie Farah out of the club’s Concord headquarters, new CEO Justin Pascoe has offered the Tigers hooker a four-year contract for life after football. Under Pascoe’s proposal, Farah would remain a Wests Tiger for life, finishing his career in the black, white and orange before stepping into an ambassadorial role when he stops playing in the NRL. The Tigers have now been forced into attempting to perform an embarrassing 11th hour backflip in relation to Farah, who has now officially requested a release from the club. The embarrassing backflip comes after the club attempted to spin the idea that Farah was hugely unpopular, bad for the club’s culture and holding the Tigers back in terms of salary cap spending room. Nothing could be further from the truth. On the back of the Farah fallout, rookie halves Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses are being shopped around to rival clubs as a package deal for 2017. And young gun fullback and local junior James Tedesco is no guarantee to stay beyond his current contract after the way his great mate Farah has been treated. Brooks and Moses have been granted until the middle of the year to inform the club whether they intend to remain at the Tigers in 2017, a ridiculous scenario. Tigers legend Ben Elias blasted the club this week for the way it has handled this entire disaster, with fans in danger of turning away given the poor state of affairs. Coach Taylor is clinging on to his job but is under increasing pressure amid continued talk of a restless playing group. If the Tigers have a poor start to the season then on the back of the Farah mess, Martin Taupau demanding a release to Manly and other rumblings, Taylor will be the NRL coach most likely to be the first sacked in the new year.
