Farah to SOUTH SYDNEY in 2017..OFFICIAL..

[Harvey]

Well Madge is on the outer and Robbie specialises in refreshing the coaching staff at a club

 

[TYGA]

Interesting that Souths have dropped McInnes this week .

Same player JT wanted in a player swap last year very interesting.

For what its worth a former Dragons player I spoke to today believes Hayne & Farah are heading to STGI. They may look to release Dugan to the Bulldogs.

Apparently the NRL have leverage over Hayne because of the Dodgy Third Party Deals at Parra and they want him on the GC.

Glad for Robbie. Didn't take long for clubs to show interest once Farah was proactive about moving on.
According to Paul Kent four clubs have expressed interest and it looks like very soon we will be paying most of his salary to play for one of them.

Four clubs? That's good, that means there will be a bit of competition to drive down what we will need to pay.

WT have lost leverage Farah gets to choose where he plays and the NRL will dictate the minimum he is under the salary cap I would suspect $300k. He is payed $950k wherever, he plays next year and no one will pay top dollar in 2018 - 2019.

Either way we should have $300k to spend on ET and a backup hooker.

We still have to release him. The terms need to satisfy the club. It depends what they want.

You are correct however, if Farah says he won't play for a certain team we would cave in.
Either way its good news for the team and Farah its been a messy divorce.

 

[ricksen]

The talk of a two year deal is good for us - I'm guessing we can then spread our obligation to him over both those two years?

 

[Telltails]

Anymore injured unwanted hookers available for us to buy? Seriously …send them our way.
Did Mortimer play under Taylor at Parramatta?

No ..Wests Tigers would subsidies 2017 only….2018 would be at his new Clubs expense...

If Farah wants to continue beyond 2017 it would be in his best interests to take up the offer elsewhere ... Even if Taylor is no longer Coach ..Wests Tigers would be very unlikely to re-sign Farah beyond 2017 if he stays...

Apparently this is a very good outcome and even better when your next in line signs with the competition leaders because he too has fallen foul of JT. The news gets better again with SMH reporting Daniel Mortimer in our sights, but only if we can force one of our greats from the club otherwise we don't have the cash.

Haha that would be hilarious and would help a lot of his supporters overcome his departure lol

I hope it comes to fruition as I want to see Alien's reaction.

 

[supercoach]

We can play hard ball to and let him play reserve grade for 12 months and pay him his contract money. The media attention Farah is getting now would disappear after a few weeks in reserve grade next season and he would become just another reserve grader. I am not having a shot at Farah, but who ever picks him up should be paying around 400g at least,lets face it he is the current NSW no9.

I suppose Pascoe is at the point he will do what ever is necessary to restore some harmony in the club and put Farahgate to bed once and for all

Surprising news for you gallgher? It would have to be considering that you have been boasting no one has wanted him for the past year. Maybe now youll wake up and look at both sides of the situation?

If we do that supercoach (make him play reserves) it will be another year of everyone slamming the club and rightly so. This situation is THE CLUBS doing. They deferred payment on his previous contract and then signed him to a lengthy deal for his current. They need to bite the bullet and take what other clubs are offering. They are not in a position of negotiating power here. Rob is worth 450k at least. Id be surprised if rival clubs will offer that. The smart move on their behalf is to offer unders and make the Tigers relent due to their want to get him off the books.

True. We'll just be happy to get rid of him. Parra not getting Hayne might shorten their odds of signing farah.

 

[Tigerdon]

now the Parra have let go Peats, Foran not playing and missing out on Hayne, i'd say they will be in the mix.
Both Saints and Souths have issues at DH and would like someone like Farah's skills.
the Sharks have done well with an experienced DH like Ennis, now he's retiring Farah would suit for a year while Cherrington is blooded but i can't really see them having Farah for 2017.
Newcastle have shown interest but their deal hasn't really benefit the Tigers or Robbie but still could be worked out. There will be pressure on Newcastle to get themselves away from another wooden spoon.

Farah in 2017\. My top four clubs would be Souths, Parra, Saints, Newcastle.

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

Qualify by realising that only some people will be happy to get rid of him. I have always considered him one of the best WT players and if some slack players deserved a spray and he gave it to then all the better for us.

I was happy to finally see Moses do a good little grubba into goal area the other day, that used to be Robbie's forte.
