I love Wests.

Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor conceded he can't stop Robbie Farah from training with the club despite telling him to look for a new team but he refused to guarantee him a first-grade spot.

The Tigers trained in front of a large media scrum on Monday with all eyes on Farah, who relinquished his captaincy via email on Friday.

However, Taylor copped the toughest workout on the first day of pre-season training, grilled by reporters on his future, Farah's future, the interest in Manly hooker Matt Ballin, the captaincy, releasing Martin Taupau and the club's attitude towards player welfare.

Even though it's always hilarious to watch the Tigers outdo themselves when it comes to imploding, I actually feel for Taylor.

He came in as head coach of the biggest basket case of a club in the NRL and tried to make the hard decisions no one else had the balls to do, and the media just tore him apart for it. Farah in the team wasn't working and hadn't been for some time, yet pretty much every media personality (except Hindmarsh) roasted him for it.

More the timing if it mate. I don't like Farah but Taylor gave him no hope of finding another club. Should have been done a couple of months earlier.

I'm amazed that no one has thrown him a contract. You'd probably get him close to minimum wage at the moment, Wests are absolutely desperate to move him on.

Unless he's been given offers and not taken them up?

If we didn't have Ennis I'd be want us to be all over it.

I disagree there. If a team really wanted him they would have gotten him

Don't think anyone had much cap space by then though. Either way Farah is a dick so maybe you're right. Maybe no one wanted him. Still think was handled poorly by Wests.

teams always fine room if they really want a big name. Someone like cronk DCE etc etc could leave their club early next year and still pick up a club. I think most clubs just dont see the value in farah or the fact that there is all those rumours about the disharmony he caused at the Tigers.

Yeah you could be right. He's been allegedly behind two sacked coaches and now has a strained relationship with a third. He sounds like a **** bloke.

Also most clubs have a good hooker or two already besides the Titans off the top of my head
