And you guys thought.....

Ennis has played better than Farah for the past 2 seasons,but he does play behind a better forward pack.

That's true for obvious reasons but IMO Robbie is better than Ennis.

I recall any of Ennis's grubber kicks coming off the other day, whereas Farah would make them stand up perfectly. Otherwise Ennis and Farah played similar games. Ennis also did flops to slow the attack. Could be the different coaching why Ennis can look better.

You could tell he was chasing his first and only premiership ring really…..he really didn't play with any composure the other night and was overplaying his hand to the max. RF & ME completely different players imo

He kicked the one where Smith knocked on from close range, right? That was why Ennis was patting him on the back…

thanks for reminding me, top show that, I watched the game again yesterday and it was worth it.

Have never really had a problem with Ennis' behaviour on the field. Can't remember him doing anything overly dirty. A mouthy pest certainly but didn't really do any damage to anyone with foul play.

:roll
What about punching someone in the face whilst on their knees?

Can't recall that one, it mustn't of been too bad. When was it? Is there any YouTube of it?

Farah did better in that as well - he kept them flying into Watts when the guy was almost being stretchered out.

Watched these two play early in the season when the sharks did a melbourne on melbourne at shark park,both teams had quick line speed and were off side all day which they seem to do every game and get away with it,good luck to the sharks on winning the gf,both teams defence was awsome until the WT can tackle like these teams they will be only making up the numbers.

When there was the great debate between 2009-12 about who should play Origin, I always thought Farah was clearly better than Ennis,but at the latter part of their careers,Ennis has adapted better to losing a yard of speed etc.

Hear you, but I'm not sure you can count the last two years for Farrah. He was hog tied as a player and in the fullness of time and the benefit of hindsight I think he should have left a few years earlier. It would have been better for his career given what has happened since. I think we as a club are worse off having lost him (short term) but i am also confident that we will fill the gap no problems in the years to come.

Farah is the only player I can recall who scored tries in their last two games before being pushed out of FG (or effectively sacked). He has that one over Ennis as well.

I have got over it but just stating it may be a precedent in living memory. Probably because an atheist I don't have that love you recommend, sorry.

I'm an atheist also, it's a turn of phrase… :unamused:

You're far from over it.

When?
Or just a figment of ye ol' imagination perhaps?

One thing I will say about Ennis/Farah is that I found it quite ironic that one of the reasons given why Farah was hopeless and deserved to be dropped was that he always took a step and looked around out of dummy half. Which is *exactly* what Ennis did, too. Yeah yeah, different teams blah blah blah - but Ennis's role wasn't a primary playmaker, either, yet the fact that he took his time out of dummy half was somehow a sign of him being a canny old stager (or, more realistically, not mentioned at all) rather than a selfish, me-first glory hog. Funny, that.

Agree and in addition to them Smith is the same and is many 9's. Current and passed and will be in the future.

Playing of the deck to your runners or halfs is only ok when you have a roll on and need a quick play. When the defence is set you need your 9 to hold the ball take a step to draw the defender and create space on the outside. If you keep playing of the deck, the defence knows and they adjust. And your play makers struggle.

But we already know that. Weve been playing and watching the game for years.

Ha pointed that out too sometime ago when all and sundry were heaping praise on Ennis - yet at the same time didn't seem to be watching how he played.
Fell on deaf ears - all ancient history now.
