52 tackles. So he conceded 520 metres. MOM

Im sorry?
Did I not start the thread bagging Farah about talking about Taylor?
Did I not start the thread a couple of months ago saying is Robbie gone as an attacking force?
Was I an apologist then?
I dont stick doggedly to something just for my own ego,
you cant even say he had a fair game despite 52 tackles, and 2 forced drop out and a try assist that was taken off the board.
I reckon I am more capable of saying things objectively about Farah. I am not near as one side of the fence as you. You cant give him credit for anything. I can bag him. Thats the difference.

So the Queenslanders ran at the weakest less link 52 times. How impressive.
He's a spent force.
Not even a first grader

You sound like your hero.
" i respect the people who agree with me"
I wonder how Farah will feel about Daley in a week or so.

Looks like you hit a nerve Gall lol

Credit to Walters… Very diplomatic in agreeing QLD got the rub of the green all night
He tried hard. Didn't let anyone down - but was no danger to the Qld defence at all. Only a shadow of the player he was. I'd be reasonably satisfied if he played at that level for the Tigers for the rest of the year, but it's not good enough for SOO. However, the cupboard is pretty bare.

That shows to me that you are biased. His service was great. Kicking game was great. No dumb hog plays. Defence was great.
He was one of NSW best players. He was every bit as good as Cam Smith. He is at that level. At club level he can hog it sometimes but to state he is ordinary is basically laughable.

Irrespective if you admire Robbie or not,he had a reasonable game last night,but you can see that age and the speed of the game is catching up with him…in my opinion he should look at a 2 year contract in ESL from next year on...he has been a great player for the WTs and NSW...he should leave it at that and go out with his head held high...
I thought he did well. He provided reliable service to the halves which he has been heavily criticised fit in this forum, kicked very well, ran when he had the opportunity, provided the pass that should've probably won the Blues the game and tackled himself to a standstill. He was also probably the equal to his opposite number as well.
Not much more he could have done. If anything, when it was clear that Reynolds was struggling, he probably should have considered taking more control - but he probably knew what this forum would say.
Like others in this thread. I am no "apologist" but please…some credit is only fair.

Farah showed his best and worst last night. His kicking game was great & he could well have won the game with the short pass to Morris. The grubber save was fantastic.
On the other side, some wonky passes from dummy-half and although he tried hard in defence, he was obviously targetted for his lack of venom.
As A NSW supporter, I hope he gets dropped for Peats. As a Tigers supporter, I hope he gets dropped for anyone, so he seriously considers season-end retirement. That's not a pot-shot. He's still our best hooker, but obviously on the decline and a salary cap gobbler.

100% spot on. Has anyone read my comments towards Robbie in some other threads. I'm far from a fan.
The difference between me and the haters is that I can tell when he has a good game. The haters just make stuff up because stating anything positive about one of our best players would hurt their ego's.

The only criticism that can be made at Robbie is a tough one. Should he have hogged it and tried to win NSW the game. He was probably our best option to create something as we have so few creative players.
It's a very similar situation to where the Tigers have been all too often.
