Farah to play half against Rabbits

[cunno]

Cuzzo has posted that Robbie Farah will play half tomorrow alongside Benji with Masada playing hooker.

bad move….clearly this spells the end for Jacob Miller...Tim Sheens quote: " I will not weaken one position to fill another..."

IMO that is Sheens being stubborn and lazy ..young Miller should demand an immediate realse to continue his career elsewhere..

Geez I hope not.

Im a huge Farah fan but to me he's so ineffective as a halfback. Last me he had a blinder for the first 30 minutes and then to me was relatively poor (at least offensively) from then on…didnt create anything.

Sigh.

Confirmed on WT Twitter

We beat the Panthers to blot and were up 31 to blot with Humble & Marshall in the halves. Why has it suddenly become a crime to go back to what works?

Oh well, still hoping for a win.

I do however feel for anyone being bought into the side as a replacement for injured players, they will get crucified by fans if they have an off game but our structure is already shot to hell.

Sigh

But our spirit is not yet dead.

I really hope it's not to long before Sheens has an appointment with the Weststigers board to discuss his future!

What another extension?

The reason we are in a hole is not because we have had a horror injury toll its how our coach reacts to these injuries. Nothing new is it!!! Just for once why dosnt he bite the bullet and actually play a no7 at 7\. Come seasons end when all the reviews are done i hope the people who count dont hide behind all the usual excuses

 

[tigersrule4life]

I think it will go well dont forget we will play with 17 players not 15 haha.

 

[Frank_the_tank]

Mmmmmm interesting, miller and humble must be really bad not to get a game with all the injuries. Either that or sheens has lost it. I'm not really in a position to say.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Not a fan of moving one of the best hookers in the world… I wouldve preferred to leave Farah at Dummy-Half and play Chris Heighington at 6 before moving Farah?!

Geez its hard to contain your thoughts some days!!!

 

[Blake93]

Was confident of a win and now suddenly I'm not. Hopefully a half/5-8 comes onto the bench so they can swap farah to hooker if needed

I guess that also means Moltzen is out also ??

 

[Tigerpete]

I think it's a poor call by Sheens. Not forgetting he said saturday night he was reluctant to move Farah from 9\. That aside though, Sheens has shown zero faith in any back up option. How on earth Humble does not get a run at half back is beyond me?? His last start there was against the Panthers and look what happened. His form for Balmain has been encouraging the past few weeks too. It doesn't say much for his future here really. The same goes for Miller and Chisholm too. Are they wasting time here? Looks it.

We are more likely to have him play 10 minutes and then pull up lame, thats how we roll

 

[simonthetiger]

Lets get Bellamy….oh hang on,he moved Smith to half when their FB was out.

5/8 actually

Would have been a far more effective choice to put Humble at 6 given he has been playing well for BRET, and did work well with Benji earlier in the season in this role.

I wasn't expecting a win against Souths tomorrow. Even less so now.

All of this said if Farah moves to half and actually controls and runs the game allowing Benji to pick and choose it may actually work. Farah is the dominant voice onfield so maybe, just maybe he can take some pressure of Benji. If it is played so Masada and Robbie switch during sets as well it could work.

I would still say to bring Meaney in as well as his DH running over the last month has been exceptional and he straightens the attack and gets quick PTB
