NSW Eligibility - Farah?

I think Farah deserves a hell of a lot more respect from us supporters. He has practically held this team together for many years, giving his very best when many of his teammates couldn't be bothered and now when he's been called to take a back seat so the young guys can take control of the team and begin to shine, he gets roundly criticised by fickle fans. Not to mention all the unsubstantiated crap that was said about him last year in the Potter fiasco. Seriously the guy cannot win!

He could've left this team years ago and got bigger coin somewhere else, but he has stuck with WT because he loves this club and all he gets for his loyalty is sh!t from the fans. The bloody NSW selectors and coaches have more respect for Farah than his own club supporters and that's really sad.
 
I'm hoping this thread is a gee up but you can never be to sure… 😕

Unfortunately I don't think it is, Geo. Can't believe the endless amount of crap he cops from his own team's supporters.

That's because he takes up a large chunk of the salary cap and doesn't play like a player who would be on top ten coin in the NRL. When the pressure is on, expect Robbie Farah to come up with the crucial clanger to win the game for the opposition.

Of course, there are certain examples of the opposite, in unimportant matches … But when the real pressure is on, he wants the ball which is great, but generally he fails to deliver what a guy getting nearly 7 figures a season should.

So, he gets held to a higher standard than others ...

Also he doesn't need you defending him mate, he's a millionaire celebrity. I'm sure he couldn't care less what we think of him.

Imagine how the Farah belters would have given it to him, had he taken the bigger money and walked. He's carried this club without a lot of support from some Nuffie players for years and has earned every dollar that club has paid him. Just think , without him, we would had Luani as our hooker over the last three or four years.
Wouldn't that have made the whingers all warm and fuzzy.

Haha good troll.

Cherrington should retain a bench spot and take 20-30 minutes from Farah every game now though.

Cherringtons time will come , but why waste an interchange when One of Farahs strengths is that he can play80 mins

When JT drops Farah to State Cup, is Farah still eligible to play SOO?

I think he is still ok to play.

Even Taylor isn't that dumb, although some of our supporters could give him lessons on how to be.
Also have you forgotten Taylor's golden rule . No one gets dropped !!!
Or is that only if your name is Moses

Disagree in a sence… Farah can play 80, but he is nowhere near effective out of DH for that 80.

Having a genuine DH out there for 20min to give Robbie a break would make us a better team, but fitting this into the bench rotation is more trickier.

I was surprised when Taylor started rotating Farah, but was told it was just so the team was accustomed to his absence come origin time. Once the origin period is over, it will be interesting to see what happens.
 
Yes we should question Robbie's eligibility to play SOO

He did play one game for Lebanon , does that make him ineligible ??

Lebanon , yep that's in NSW
