Legend of this Club! What a great career, his character and personality is what made him so successful, killer instinct. We need more like him. Time was right for him to retire. All the best post league Robbie!

Getting soft in your old age lol
Well done Farah, thanks for the good times and good luck for the future.
I feel guilty but I left 5 minuted before the end like many.
Probalby the last time I go to Leichardt to be honest.
The toilet and beer que were not reasonable.
The crowd was so quite the Sharkies fans were the loudest around me. No disrespect but I think most of the hill knew we were up against it and then the news on Thomo announced.

Thanks Robbie. It's been tough, you blocked me on Twitter mate years ago, evident that there's been ups and downs. Players come and go, but one thing mate, your passion in our team could never be put under question. Even as a Souths player you were still a Tiger. You always will be. Glad you got to run out at the Old Girl one last time.
Maybe you should be out water boy next year. Alfie Langer does it, it's a big job, it's organising the defense subtly and revving up the players. Go for it mate.
Anyway, enjoy not running up sand dunes. Thanks mate.

Yeah, apart from a little bit of booing when Sharon got the ball, it was evident on tele that the crowd were pretty lethargic.
@rustycage The penny just never drops ! Leichhardt oval was Balmains traditionally ground not the Weststigers . Yesterday showed again what Leichhardt oval is , a throw back to the 70,s a small suburban ground with pathetic ammenities. So with2 must win games over the last 2 years with a sell out crowd that was anything but supportive the team plays like crap ... it was was like the players did not want to be there was the cry from the Leichhardt fan club about BankWest stadium , hence a horrible place . I say the players yesterday seemed they did not want to be playing at Leichhardt !the support that come from the sell out crowd was basically non exsitant!
Leichhardt oval is a myth , our club has to give its supporter base its own home ground not live on the coat tails of times gone by as yesterday puts to bed once and for all the fallacy that Leichhardt oval is !
There will be three new stadiums to choose from in the not to distant future for god sake choose one to finally be our home ground the WESTSTIGERS home ground !

@Snake Very well said mate, I like Leichhardt but you are right.

That is absolutely not true. The support from the crowd was fantastic until the game got away from us in the ten minutes after half time. There was little to cheer about until the Garner try and when he scored the response was deafening. The crowd anticipation before the match was brilliant but we couldn't match with the Sharks and the disappointment was evident.
Know your feelings on Bankwest Snake but yesterday's game and result did nothing to support your argument.
@Snake your record is scratched, keeps playing the same old thing.
Was a great day at LO yesterday except the result. We play like that anywhere and we get beaten.
The amenities are bad, sure there not the best but I got to use the toilet when ever I needed, I got food when I wanted. Sure I had to line up and wait a few minutes, had a chat with the bloke in the queue next to me, was a good block was it you?
Had to walk to and from Victoria rd caught a bus in, got to speak to a few people on the way, ran into Kerry Hemsley shock his hand and thanked him for the memories.
Result was poor but the day was great. That’s what I love about going to the footy. Result is always 1 up or 1 down.

And our losses at Bankwest was because of the team aswell. Not the venue.

Because its not a factor, despite the romantic narrative.
Its Not our fault or the venues fault we lost on Sunday.
Out played
We do however need 1 Home ground that we train and play at ( Like Brooky, Shark Park etc)
and
We need to continue the roster renovations

Can I please voice my complaints to the dopes that decided to present Paul Gallen a frame and dilute Robbie's send-off?
You have almost 20K people there and the match was lost with 15 to go. You get Robbie doing his lap of honour immediately after FT and just shuffle the Sharks players off the field. Nobody at a Tigers home game cares about the Sharks at FT. I don't want to hear from Paul Gallen, I don't want to hear Farah being forced to wish them well for next week. Gallen has already had his arrogant lair moment taking an unnecessary and disrespectful field goal; everything in Paul Gallen's mind is about Paul Gallen first and foremost, and we pandered to it.
Stuff Paul Gallen, get him off the field, he had his farewell last week and still has another match to play.
Half the crowd was gone by the time Robbie actually went around. He spent 10 mins talking to Fox and another 15 mins being forced to be pal-sy with Gallen. They have no idea how to do a send-off.

It's not a factor when we don't have players good enough to compete...our roster the last few years has been mediocre.
The fact that people love to go there for the atmosphere, regardless of this, is the romantic narrative.
You're obviously among those that don't feel the attraction... fair enough.
