Farah to SOUTH SYDNEY in 2017..OFFICIAL..
- Thread starter MightyTiger
- Start date
Has anything offical been stated that Robbie has signed with another club yet?
Just had a quick look on the Souths site. Nothing there. Then went to a Souths forum and all they were talking about was "the deal". There was mention this will be Madge's last season. I guy I play touch footy with is a close mate of Madge's ..at the beginning of the season he said he'd been there a year too long.

I think you are right Magpiecol.
This forum's IQ will go up when they join the Burrow.
I give them a couple of months and they'll rejoin this forum under different monikers.

Heignington announced it on NRL: Tonight….
When asked would he like to see Farah at the Sharks he said "Yeah but I spoke to him a couple of days ago and he told me he is going to Souff's"....at least his Media training after '05 has paid off... :laughing:

Has anybody replied to pHyR3’s post (above)?
The numbers included in the SMH article don’t make sense without further explanation.
It says that Robbie’s contract for next year is $950k. It also says that the WT will pay $750k of that.
It then goes on to say that Robbie will get around $1.2m next year when Souths top up his contract, and that he will rival Jaryd Hayne as the highest paid player in the NRL.
So, that means that, while Robbie is contracted to receive only $950k next year, the Tigers and the Rabbits are actually going to pay him a combined $1.2m. Why?
I could understand it if the Tigers were paying $750k and Souths $200k, but that the NRL are requiring Souths to carry Robbie under the Salary Cap at $450k (even though they are only paying $200k of that).
But that doesn’t mean that because the Tigers are paying $750k next year and Souths are carrying him under the cap at $450k that Robbie is actually being paid $1.2m (ie $750k + $450k). He is still only being paid $950k.
It also means that if Souths are carrying him under their cap at $450k, then he is costing the Tigers $500k of cap space, a saving under the cap of $450k.
A lot more clarification is required.

I was wondering why Robbie had a smile as wide as Sydney Harbour when prancing around the LO on Sunday. As GCT stated he was always a goer and never a bludger so I don't hold it against him. I still wait in frustration for his perfect grubber kicks into goal. And with the change of rules we will neve see an Antony Watts belting again. He did not come back for seconds that guy.

I'm wondering why everybody is taking any of the figures as fact when it's now nearly a week since RF was "released" & reportedly going to sign elsewhere within the following 48 hours but yet no official announcement re that signing from the next club .

Robbie Farah reveals he’s in talks with ‘a couple’ of NRL clubs — Media Watch

FARAH TALKS CONTINUE
Outgoing Wests Tigers rake Robbie Farah says he’s still in contract talks with “a couple” of Sydney-based NRL clubs for 2017.
Farah announced he was leaving the Tigers recently after a tumultuous 18 months at the club that included his demotion to reserve grade.
The Rabbitohs have been tipped to be the frontrunners for his signature, while Cronulla have also been mentioned.
When asked about a potential deal with the Rabbitohs on EON Sports Radio’s The Home Turn, Farah said: “A few things still need to get sorted there from both ends.
“There’s a couple of clubs I’m negotiating with, but I need to tie things up with the Tigers.”
Farah said the clubs are all Sydney-based.
“To stay in Sydney’s a massive bonus for me,” he said.
“I’ve got to sit down with the family and come up with a call, but I can’t do anything until everything’s tied up with the Tigers.
“I discuss everything with the family — everything I do, I run by them. Their opinion means a lot to me.”

The 750k number would have to be completely made up. There is no way tigers will pay 750k if Souths are paying 200k, as the tigers would be well aware that Farah would be willing to take at a bare MINIMUM a 50k paycut to play first grade at another club. Tigers really do hold the power in this negotiation, as it's a question of how big of a paycut will Farah take for the chance to play first grade again.
