Poor Robbie

@alexaki said:
There is NO doubt Farah is streets ahead of Ennis as a hooker…he knows that and I'm sure that's eating away at Robbie big time...the sad facts are that Farah's form(and that of the Tigers) over the last 5 weeks has been very ordinary...so it was hard to pick him....but as I said we ALL know Farah is miles ahead of Ennis at hooker but the grub still got in!!!.

It's not just a matter of form from Robbie, but the fact he playing selfishly and not using members of his side. He CANNOT play like that on a rep level and the selectors know this.

I'm filthy that grub got in, I would have several other Hookers in the side based on performance / style / attitude atm
 
Ennis is a grub of the first order, but he is a competitive little player that winning is everything and you do anything to achieve it. He is a light year in front of Farah at present, granted he has a no7 and a frontrow to support him

That imo is where it ends.

Farah needs to get his game tgether first. If he does he has the ability to turn the tables.
 
Don't worry, after the Kimmorley/Ennis combination fails after the first two games, Farah will be called up…
 
Ennis is such a winner his side sits below even us.
Such a winner Bennett played with Berrigan at hooker and Perry at half in the 2006 GF whilst Ennis was 18th man.
Ennis is a hack, but like our esteemed leader has fooled and hoodwinked the masses, aided and abeted by friends in the media into believing he is some sort of coming of a messiah.
 
id rather him be playing with the tigers in through the origin series anyways?!
its a good chance to get a shot at the understrength teams and hopefully a few more wins on the trot
 
Tiger would be much off if we had Issac degois instead of Farrah and Teo instead of heighington, Farah hasn't played well all year, and heighington is soo overrated, all he offers is defence! he is the poor mans luke Ricktson

Farah is'nt in the same league as Ennis when it comes to Origin & he know's it! Tough and uncompromising are the word's that come to mind when you think of Ennis..Robbie would battle to put fear into pre-school kids even if he had a machette in his hands. :unamused:

On the postiive we have one of our superstars through origin series, and hopefully now he can focus on his game instead of pushing for selection.

Exactly which superstar are you referring too??? Did'nt know we had any!

What a load of shite. You've been listening to the fools in the media for far too long.

When I think of Ennis, I think of someone who got belted by little Chris Sandow.

Farah does not deserve selection based on his current form, but to accuse him of not being tough is pathetic and ridiculous.

ennis seems more mentally tougher as he can get in peoples heads.
 
I think we have Sheens to blame…He moved him to halfback then back to hooker then first reciever then dummy half then lock for special plays for scrums then back to hooker again....

Poor Robbie how's he expected to play at Origin level with all that going on....

Ennis on the other hand just passes the ball after it's played...and niggles with the best of them...Origin Player....

I was going to say that in reference to HT's post.

All he does is pass from DH and miss one out of three tackles. And the tackles he does complete he's usually not the first one in.

I agree, perform well for your team, then see what happens.

to be honest would not care if no wests-tigers get picked to play origin at all this season.

I look at it this way, and he gets picked and gets another injury, one which will put him out for say 6-8 weeks.
that's really gonna beneficial for the team,isn't it, and help wests-tigers to the finals. NOT.

Would ennis put fear into you if you were an opposing player? you cant be serious, how small are you?

Lote/Farah (at full potential id still call them both superstars)
 
I'm surprised that so many of you have just swallowed this media/Laurie Daley nonsense about Ennis being 'made for Origin'. What on earth does that mean? SOO is still a game of Rugby League where all the usual skills are evident. There have been many great Origin players who weren't Ennis-style 'mongrels' - Craig Wing and Andrew Ettinghausen spring to mind.

Robbie should have been in SOO since 2006, except he was held out by ('made for Origin') Danny Buderus. Buderus came into Origin as the club dummy-half of Andrew Johns, same deal as Ennis with Kimmorley.

It's not surprising that the whole thing has been a huge disruption for Robbie. Hopefully he can put it behind himself now. But don't tell me Ennis deserves to be in Origin, his form has been poor all season, whereas Robbie played brilliantly for 5-6 rounds at least.

Robbie has been pretty ordinary (with occasional exceptions) since the middle of last year. If there is someone else playing hooker for NSW then I think that is down to Robbie not anyone else.
