Usually during a minute of silence during a sporting game there are a few disrespectful morons who yell out. Not today. There was total silence at Leichhardt for the full 60 seconds - a tribute to Sonia. It also shows the respect we Tigers fans have for Robbie. I felt honoured to be a part of that today. All tigers fans will have Robbie and his family in our prayers.

My family & I were @ Leichhardt today. To see so many people & players alike sad for Robbie, made me even prouder to be a Tiger supporter. Whilst we love our footy, we all should love life more. RIP Sonia. Our deepest condolences to Robbie & family.

It was obvious to one and all how important Robbie's mum was to him. He must be devastated at the moment. Any words I might say would be vastly insufficient. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with all the Farah family.
 
One of our admins at Brisbane Wests Tigers Fans posted this blog this morning:

Yesterday’s loss was so much more than a game of footy – it was one of the Wests Tigers proudest moments. This wasn’t about the score, this was about spirit. It was an afternoon when Anthony Minichiello pulled off the most incredible one-on-one strip ever seen on a runaway Ben Murdoch-Masila and Martin Kennedy, Frank-Paul Nu’uausala and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves played their annual blinders.

It was an afternoon when Benji Marshall broke down during a minute’s silence dedicated to Sonia Farah and Adam Blair played the worst game of his career. All this, and the Roosters still needed 12 points on the stroke of half time and six at full time to put the Tigers away. While their bodies were willing, the players’ minds were firmly fixed on an inspirational club captain who had made State of Origin history just days earlier.

Look no further than Beau Ryan’s runaway try in the second half that sent the crowd into a frenzy. One of the form wingers in the NRL, Ryan raced more than 50 metres to score, but there was no celebration. The trademark head pat and logo slap were replaced by a cold stare – almost a look of guilt. Tim Moltzen gave a similar reaction when he scored minutes later.

The Tigers didn’t want to play a game of footy yesterday, and who could blame them.
 
I concur with everyone's comments and well wishes to Farah and his family and friends.

I lost my mother to cancer in 2009 and my brother is burying his mother in law today in Orange who also lost her battle with cancer. It is a very nasty disease and one I hope they find a cure for in our life time.

I was so proud of the Wests Tigers yesterday and proud to say I am a fan.
 
Condolences to the Farah family. Keep your chin up Robbie.

I don't mean this to sound flippant but I found it almost poetic that Robbie's mother was 63 - the same number of tackles Robbie made in the origin game that was such a pinnacle for him. It just struck me that it was almost an accidental tribute to someone who was obviously such a big influence to Robbie as a person and a player.

My thoughts go out to the Farahs - I know from personal experience how hard these things are.
