Tigers’ Farah, Mayer agree to move on

Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah says he and chief executive Grant Mayer have agreed to work through their differences for the sake of the NRL club.

Farah, in an interview aired on the Nine Network’s NRL Footy Show on Thursday night, took aim at Mayer for what he said was a lack of support during the crisis that has engulfed the club since claims the skipper wanted coach Mick Potter gone.

“I didn’t question his leadership, I just said I was disappointed,” Farah told media on Friday morning.

“The interview was done on Tuesday, he spoke to me on Wednesday – so we have spoken briefly at training.

“I told him I want to focus on this week’s game, which is the most important thing at the moment.

“But me and him will work through that.

“We’re both professionals. We both want what’s best for this club.

“He’s the CEO, I’m the captain, and we’ll get on with our jobs. So we’ll deal with that in private, there won’t be an issue. We’ll get on with it.”

Farah defended his decision to do the interview, saying that was the best way he felt he could deal with the situation.

“I’ve put it to bed now, I don’t want to talk about it any more. We’ve got to move forward as a club,” he said.

“There’s a lot of positives around this club and that’s what I want to focus on.

“I said in my interview last night I was disappointed in my leadership through what happened, I’ve got guys here relying on me, and that was the thing I was disappointed the most.”
