Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2689376, member: 1899"] That's a fair question but what's Taylor done about it? If anything, it seems like he's won Farah over. Remember how things came to a head when Farah was replaced with Luani against Manly in 2013? It doesn't seem like Robbie's taken the same offence to Halatau taking over... ...even though Halatau has no business playing hooker. I'd say he got the nod due to overall lack of experience, but seriously Cherrington is the best dummy half to come through the Tigers system in lord knows how long. It's mind boggling Taylor didn't give him that 'cameo' spot. My point is, I don't think you can blame it on a fractured relationship with the captain nor the players. Judging from his comments, Taylor has taken a long term gain for short term pain approach. That isn't a bad approach...but you need the cattle to do it. Outside of Woods, Farah and Taupau their pack is ordinary bordering on being woeful and they can't be the defensive side Taylor wants them to be. Instead of looking to bring in a few alternatives to improve things, or going with a different approach, Taylor just produces these sooky press conference where it sounds like he's on the verge of tears.
