I wouldrather have Robbie playing for wests-tigers during the Origin series.
yes it would be great to play in that series.
but really IMO its far more important for wests-tigers to have Robbie playing for them, and win enough games to be assured of a final berth for season 2010

Ennis got the points this time. In pretty much all of their games against each other last year, Farah got the points. Oh well, that is sport. Bring on the next game.

Look, with all due respect wake up to yourself. Ennis has NO mongel at all. He niggles but if anyone puts it on him he runs away like a cat. Ennis is a myth and was totally outplayed tonight by Farah, but the nobs out there will see Ennis 2 tries and 1 kick for a try meaning he won. He didnt, he was average, but got lucky. Ennis is the 3rd best hooker in NSW and souldnt even be considered for origin. If he's picked, ill go for QLD

I don't see what all the fuss is about. I honestly thought Farah outplayed Enns tonight. Yeah he scored two incredibly soft tries where he didn't have to do anything except fall on the ball. Defensivly he only made half as many tackles as Farah yet still failed to take the line behind a dominant forward pack.
SOO is still a number of weeks away. Plenty of time for Robbie to stake his claim yet.

I felt sorry for Robbie out there tonight as he tried his heart out and I too think he played better than Ennis, but many others would see the two tries and the end result as a deciding factor. I don`t agree with it, but I reckon tonights game would`ve edged Ennis back in front in the selectors minds for SOO1.

The game was never on the line. Ennis is a parasite, feeding off far more talented players than he can ever be.
@king sirro said:
Not sure if you saw it King Sirro, but did you see Ennis trying to niggle Farah in the 2nd half behind play when the Tigers had the ball?
Now if he was in my team doing that, or if it was Robbie himself doing that, I'd be filthy. At a critical point of the game, he put his own personal agenda ahead of his teams and left his side with a 12 man defensive line for 3 or so tackles!!
Also as side note, I think all these wraps about Ennis are encouraging other hookers to be like him (ie Watts), because the Selectors are rewarding niggle over class.

Ennis is a dog and a coward..would not want him ever no matter what. Would not want be associated with anyone like that!
They haven't picked the SOO yet. Robbie is likely to hit back with another big performance next week. But really we need Robbie playing for us. Who could we replace him with while he was unavailable? By leading the Tigers to the Semi's and then the selectors will take notice.

For a player who's supposedly so crap, he sure garners much attention here, two threads about one opposition player

ennis should be picked for nsw.
his game suits bellamy more than farah.
the skill set of farah is not used by bellamy and he becomes a waste.

Wests Tigers may not have won last night, but this may have been the game in which they proved themselves the real deal - and hooker Robbie Farah, too. In the battle of the NSW hooking rivals - Farah and Canterbury's Michael Ennis - the Tigers captain scored an impressive points win. That his team failed to get the points shouldn't worry Blues selectors - or Tigers coach Tim Sheens.
The Tigers were without their first-choice halfback Robert Lui, his replacement Tim Moltzen, and props Keith Galloway, Todd Payten and Jason Cayless, the match was a test of their premiership credentials.
As they lost rookie front-rower Alan Schirnack before kick off, forcing Sheens to call up Willie Mataka.
Add a 60 per cent possession flow to the Bulldogs and some tough calls from referees Jared Maxwell and Bernard Sutton, and the Tigers weren't entitled to be in the contest until six minutes from full-time.
Perhaps it is an indication of how poorly Canterbury are travelling at the moment that they struggled to put away a team who had tackled themselves to a standstill.
Late tries by Ennis and Brett Kimmorley against a tired defence inflated the scoreline in the dying minutes but until the 75th minute the Bulldogs led just 12-4.
Ennis finished with two tries, but Farah was the pick of the rakes and every time he ran the ball from dummy-half he lifted the tempo of the Tigers attack.
He also came up with a stunning 40/20 kick from dummy-half and was the creative force behind most of his side's attack.
On the first occasion the Tigers got down the Bulldogs end, Farah stood out of a scrum and after picking up the ball at halfback he toed through a long grubber for star five-eighth Benji Marshall to run onto.
Marshall overran the kick but appeared to be tackled without the ball by Canterbury winger Steve Turner. There was no penalty but Bulldogs fullback Luke Patten knocked on to give the Tigers a rare first-half attacking opportunity near the Canterbury try line.
It was just one of four tackles the Tigers had in their opponents' 20 metres area in the first half.
In comparison, the Bulldogs had 27 tackles inside the Tigers' 20 metres during the same period but, despite boasting 60 per cent of possession, their only first half try came in the 35th minute when Ennis scored from a Ben Roberts kick.
Ennis crossed again in the 74th minute off another kick, this time from Kimmorley.
The pair then reversed roles for Kimmorley to score three minutes from full-time to secure just the Bulldogs' second win of the season.
Asked afterwards about his rivalry with Farah, Ennis said: ''It's going to go on for the next 10 years. I can't control that but I certainly enjoyed tonight.''
However, it was clear how much it felt to him when he and Farah came together in back-play midway through the second half.
After engaging in a bit of push and shove, they exchanged words before play moved on and Lote Tuqiri ran 60 metres to score the Tigers' lone try, in the 59th minute.
As Marshall was lining up the conversion attempt, Maxwell called out Kimmorley and Ennis and said: ''He [Ennis] has been good all game. Don't let it get away from him now.''

Would like to see the stats between the two of them for last night if anyone can get them?
I hope they pick Ennis and Kimorley because I want to see them get smashed!
