I wasn't at Leichhardt. Was he passing from the ground? Because the highlights made him look like a halfback.

Robbie should be in the team. He is easily the best option we have. I think yesterday showed that we miss him.
The craziness of this from a team perspective is amazing. We had Rankin sharing the dummy half duties with Halatau and Lovett playing in the centres. Lovett butchered a sure try and was brushed easily defending in the centres. He simply isn't a centre and as a forward he is much better in the middle of the park.
Halatau and Rankin are also nowhere near as good as Robbie out of dummy half.

Farah from the bench was working well.
I did see Brooks more involved yesterday though. Once noticeable thing was that in the past, Brooks is very quick to disappear when things don't go right for him. It was a different case yesterday. He kept coming back even though he started off slowly. He took the line on more as well.

No way he'l be there.
The whole reasoning for the timing is that we would have to lay down to lose to The Dragons and Parra. The team looked good,although , for the early part and most of the second half we didn't) and Taylor says "see , we don't need Farah"!
It was no coincidence that these twowere the games that he chose to pull this.
Parra finally looked like they gave up this weekend and are unlikely to give much of a squeakeither

And then just happens to come out the very next game and puts on the best performance of his career so far.

If he played the style JT is looking for, i might have thought there was a chance. Him shooting his mouth after the game though has killed off any chance of that.

defensively, farah doesn't add as much as halatau.
in attack, farah is miles ahead of halatau- simply coz he's done this a billion more times than dene. he'll get to dummy half quicker and give nice flat passes in front of the halves. that's what the coach wants and that's what robbie can do. it's up to the halves to call the ball, if no one calls for the ball, the hooker is going to make a decision and choose the best play.

It'll be the same team as yesterday, albeit a few changes due to injuries. No way Robbie is in the 17.
I hope Cherrington gets a run this week. So unfortunate Ballin got injured. We could so use him right now.

After what he said last weekend and JT saying it will be dealt with in house at the presser, I'd say it's a fair chance he'll wear the #9 next week - in State Cup.
After opening his mouth on Saturday and effectively dumping on the Coach and his players, it should be terminal in the NRL side for our Legend Hooker, Robbie Farah!..
Thanks for everything you have done on the field for the WT Robbie, it’s a shame your off field actions have been toxic to the club and now 3 Coaches….
Cherrington should now come into the NRL top 17 and share the hooking spot with Halatau.

Not a chance in hell that Robbie will play this week, and highly unlikely to ever play NRL for us again IMO. His petulant comments have put to rest any chance he had.
He wasn't best on ground in NSW Cup in any case. 3 try assists yes, which involved a 3-4m pass for a teammate to walk through and dive over the line untouched. Hardly breathtaking. Jordan Grant was our best.

He's no chance now after his comments. And he thinks he's too smart for 'them'.

If JT is right and Robbie is impeding the younger guys, then no he shouldn't come back.
However we at least need someone who can fill in for Halatau (besides Jordan Rankin) at hooker throughout the match. Edwards didn't add much to the side from what I noticed on the TV.
For the record, I thought Farah off the bench was a winning formula.

So you honestly believe after dropping him this week (with the team winning in the last 2 games he played) that Farah would have been welcomed back to first grade then your delusional. Whether he unleashed to the media or not (which was 100% wrong to do, but everything he said was right), he was not coming back. This has nothing to do with form or team cohesion. this is either 1 of 2 things:
1\. Taylor realises he wont be here next year and its so personal with Farah that he wants to take him down with him.
2\. Taylor is just a puppet for higher powers who are making a power play to force robbies hand.
Most people are smart enough to realise this and the club should not play us as fools by feeding us spin or gsrbage. Its such a bad reflection on the club and JT for playing it out this way.
