Farah has to be there and he has to starting. He was great yesterday.
Cherrington can add a tonne of spark to the team so I have no problems with him being on the bench but maybe it's not required.
Did everyone see Robbie created a bunch out there. He made the only kick into the in-goal. He kicked on the 3rd but it was a great kick and we were all over Parra until we gave away 2 penalties in a row.

Never recommended dropping Farah he is a great defender and strong runner of the footy.
His service out of dummy half was pedestrian however, I a prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt for the first game back. If it continues and our attack struggles Cherrington will have to get more game time.
It will be very interesting what JT does when Ballin is fit. I suspect Buckets/JT will want to move him on to another club and free up some salary cap space. And the best way to do this is having him fit and playing good footy in our NRL side. Obviously he's done nothing wrong to deserve being moved on but remember he was only signed because JT intended to be without Farah this year and next. So instead of easing up salary cap space by getting rid of Farah , JT made it worse by signing Ballin. The club needs to keep developing Cherrington so I think as long as he's fit he'll be in the 17 all year.

Correct, round 10, and he's going to need some time in State Cup for match fitness.

He's been excellent at gifting qld penalties when they needed them. They'd love to see him resurrected.

Ballin will need to play a couple of games in NSW Cup, but once fit will come straight in.
JT sounded him out last year to fit in to the style of DH he wants. He plays direct, passes & makes his tackles. JT wants his DH to take the forwards down the park and also allow our halves to be coming forward when they get the ball. He has also adjusted Mania's game to do this more.
JT might not of got his wish in moving Farah on, but he will definitely get the DH he wants to prove his point. Sadly, Mania will drop back to Reggie's until next year.

Farah against Parramatta looked really under done and coming off knee surgery that is understandable and should be a lot better next start. In saying that his passing out of DH has been sluggish for a few years now and Brooks and specially Moses need very early ball to weave their stuff. The question still remains to be answered will Ballin be any better, my gut feeling he will be much the same as Farah without the kicking game so i am not sure what we are going to gain. Time will tell
