I might be singular here in saying this,
But Farah in the halves isn't that bad.
Case for it is - he practically played halfback AND 5/8th during origin 3 anyway, as both Pearce and Carney went missing and almost steered the ship home.
I could stomach Farah at halfback with Marshall at 5/8th as they both know each other extremely well.
His kicking game is very good. His cut out pass is gold, he takes on the line and is strong enough to bust through at times, he understands our flow and structure - really guys, whats not to like?
Miller has a great kicking game in the under 20's - but as much as I think this kid has potential, everytime he seems to kick a ball in FG he shanks it and ends up dribbling it in behind the line… maybe the FG ball has a different shape to the NYC Ball... :mrgreen:
This would be a much different pairing to the disaster which was Farah in the halves circa 2006-2008 due to the years of play they have hadd together, and lets face it, their combinations together with Moltzen are at times breathtaking.
Iosefa is more than adequate at dummy half - he's strong, and isn't just a passenger - if he spies an opening or a blindside play, he'll go for it.
The other thing is at worst case, Farah could inject himself in at dummy half practically any time he likes to keep Souffs on their toes as well - It's not as if Iosefa would totally DOMINATE the dummy-half role.
Flame away if you like guys, but I think it could work - I just wouldn't do it forever though - he's a world class hooker through and through.
