Former Wests Tiger prop Bryce Gibbs has suggested coach Jason Taylor be in charge of "the under 13s development squad" as the bad blood between Taylor and Farah escalates.

Gibbs - a leading voice in the Wests Tigers dressing room during his nine years with the club - fired off at Taylor in defence of his good friend Farah following a suggestion the NSW hooker would be in reserve grade if he stayed with the club.

If robbie farah is getting dropped to reserve grade next yr, surely jason taylor is getting dropped to balmain u13s development squad— bryce gibbs (@bryceegibbs) August 26, 2015

Earlier, Gibbs light-heartedly welcomed Farah to the Tigers' "shafted squad" - a group of players who were shown the door prior to the end of their contract.

That "squad" includes Beau Ryan, Lote Tuqiri, Gibbs and Andrew Fifita, at different eras.

Gibbs left the Tigers at the end of the 2011 season and spent three years with Cronulla before retiring at the end of last season.

@robbiefarah welcome to the wests tigers shafted squad mate, looks like your the captain of the squad.— bryce gibbs (@bryceegibbs) August 25, 2015

Gibbs' criticism of Farah, and the Tigers, came after Tim Moltzen - who will leave the club at the end of the year to join Manly, got the ball rolling on Tuesday night.

Ive witnessed the blood,sweat & tears from @robbiefarah whilst wearing the jersey.Never has let down the emblem. Pity it doesnt go both ways— Tim Moltzen (@TimMoltzen) August 25, 2015

Farah claim that he was told he would play reserve grade if he remained at the club also struck a nerve with another former Tiger - Blake Austin.

Austin, who has enjoyed a stellar first season with Canberra, took his former club to task over their claim the Farah situation would be handled with respect.

Play reserve grade if he stays. Is that the upmost respect in the process???— blakeaustin6 (@blakeaustin6) August 26, 2015
