Too many cooks spoil the broth and in the end it was chef Robbie Farah who had to be kicked out of the kitchen.Thats how coach Jason Taylor explains his controversial decision to drop the club veteran and NSW hooker to reserve grade for this weekend.Taylor indicated he felt Farahs game was incompatible with playmaking young guns Luke Brooks, Mitchell Moses and fullback James Tedesco and that forced his hand.Weve got too many cooks spoiling the broth, Taylor said on Thursday.Its purely based on that. Robbie Farah is the NSW State of Origin hooker, hes a Wests Tigers great, hes a great player but its just not working for us at the moment in regards to the cohesion of our team.Im still not comfortable with where we are on the ladder (11th, 7-10).In my opinion we should be further up with the squad weve got and Ive been brought here to get this team going in the right direction and tough decisions need to be made.Instead of turning out the Tigers in the NRL clash with St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, Farah will play for their reserve grade side against Newtown Jets at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday afternoon.Taylor said after analysing the teams performances over the last seven games - five of which Farah missed due to Origin duties - he came to the decision they were a better outfit with the 247-game veteran on the sidelines.We had a good discussion, we went through some games and some examples of what were talking about, Taylor said.Robbies very disappointed and Ive had a chat to him this morning and his attitude is hes going to get on with it and hes going to do it with a smile on his face.Taylor denied he was incapable of working with Farah, or that he was trying to force the Blues No.9 out of the club, despite Farah claiming after last season hed been told to find a new club or face being dropped to reserve grade.The former Tigers skipper has one more year left on his contract, said to be worth about $1 million.The club had planned celebrations for Farahs 250-game milestone against North Queensland in round 22 but those have been thrown into disarray.Taylor said it was important to take the emotion out of any selection decision, especially with a top eight spot on the line for the rest of the year.Robbies got a contract for next season so were expecting him to be here, Taylor said.Robbie will be considered for selection every week. Well get through this weekends game and well assess how this decision went.

The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season. CINCINNATI -- A pair of third-place teams knew exactly what this one meant. Either the Bills or the Bengals were going to walk off the field feeling their season was just about gone.Despite losing two more key players, the Bills were the ones still standing at the end.LeSean McCoy ran 7 yards for a touchdown before suffering a thumb injury on Sunday, and Buffalos defense held on at the end for a 16-12 victory over Cincinnati Bengals.Were in a desperate position, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. You look at it: We were kind of two teams teetering on the brink.The Bills (5-5) had lost three straight heading into their bye week. When they lost both McCoy and top receiver Robert Woods in the first half, things looked bleak. They piled up 183 yards on the ground -- the most against the Bengals this season -- to bust out of their long slump.Theyve got yet more injury problems, but at least theyre still in position to end their run of 16 seasons without a playoff appearance.I feel deflated about the injuries, coach Rex Ryan said. I know what this team can do. If we are healthy, we are going to be pretty tough.By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in six years.Playing their first game at Paul Brown Stadium in nearly a month, they couldnt move the ball consistently or make an extra point.Yes, its tiring, cornerback Adam Pacman Jones said. Its depressing. Its nerve-wracking. Whatever you want to call it.To make matters worse for Cincinnati, receiver A.J. Green left with a severely injured right hamstring on the Bengals first pass of the game. He couldnt bend the leg and was taken off on a cart.You never want to lose a guy like that, quarterback Andy Dalton said. Hes the best receiver in the league, so when you lose him it hurts.Some takeaways from Buffalos slump-busting win:RUN IT: Even with McCoy out, the Bills showed why they were ranked No. 2 in the league in rushing. Mike Gillislee filled in and picked up 72 yards, averaging 5.dddddddddddd1 per carry. The Bills averaged 5.4 overall against a defense that has struggled to stop the run all season.Its good to spread the ball around, said quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who ran for 39 yards. It wasnt pretty by any means, but we got a win and thats all that really matters.DEFENSIVE TURNAROUND: The Bills came in leading the league with 30 sacks, but theyd also given up a lot of big plays as well -- seven completions of at least 50 yards. After Green got hurt, they clamped down and didnt allow a completion of more than 21 yards. They knocked down Daltons desperation pass in the end zone to end it.Its a look-at-me-now moment, Bills linebacker Preston Brown said.A.J.s INJURY: The Bengals will be without Green for the foreseeable future. He ranked third in the league in catches and second in yards receiving. Hes their only consistent deep threat, and it showed against the Bills. None of the other receivers had a catch of more than 16 yards.CANT RUN IT: Cincinnati had trouble running the ball again, which played into the Bills hands. Jeremy Hill managed only 62 yards on 16 carries. The Bengals ran for a total of 93, only 3.4 yards per carry.All season, its been mistake after mistake, Hill said.UPRIGHT KICKS: Mike Nugent hit the upright on both of his extra-point attempts while compensating for the wind. Nugent also missed an extra point and a field goal during a 27-27 tie with Washington on Oct. 30 in London.It just drives me crazy to have a poor performance that contributes to a loss, Nugent said. Thats the second time thats happened this year, that Ive contributed enormously to a loss. If I did what I was brought here to do, wed have two less losses, in my opinion.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
