Robbie Farah..Discussion Thread.....

[Tiger_Watto]

On Robbie and the playing NSW Cup. Now Cherrington is now the number 2 hooker for the worlds best team NZ while Robbie is prob the number 2 or 3 hooker for the 2nd best team in the world then you could say that if they are in the same club it is fair to pick Robbie in NSW cup

Interesting scenario… Form is particuly an opinion based on your bias.

Maybe the club was helping Robbie, with the bias Cherrington will surpass him by next season and were simply giving him a heads up if he wants to play NRL he should change clubs.

One thing is for certain, no judge will determine whether Robbie should be playing NRL ahead of Cherrington!

However, we don't have a smart operator but a dud.

Exactly.

 

[Tigermama]

Have I missed something? The Tigers have said they will pay Farah his contract, so whats to go to court over?

Because apparently Robbie has it written into his contract that he MUST play first grade. But if that isn't a good enough excuse, apparently some he said, she said comment that was made at a private meeting saying Farah will play NSW next yr wil be. Apparently courts rule on hearsay now.

ok so that's what I've missed, thanks.

Is that definite? Who gets that written into a contract? Crazy.

I doubt that's written in the contract. But having the Captaincy until he retires might be.

Do you seriously think that Cherrington is going to play in the team. It's more like the players that are taken up in Origin to get an idea of what it's all about. Can't see them taking a liability in defence into a real game.

Liability in defense? That is about as strong an argument as heresay!

Bargain bin coaches are all we can afford… And are the only ones that's willing to come here

If things are as bad as they say, relocate and at least get something from the NRL to make it worthwhile,
start from scratch in Qld or Perth, and get rid of the loser tag that we currently have.
For what it's worth to get a team away from Sydney, the NRL would probably jump at the chance to have it happen, and come up with a decent package to make it work. Get the club into a one team town, rather than in the overcrowded Sydney.
Those who oppose voluntary relocation should open their eyes, as it may soon get to the stage that we are made to relocate, or to simply drop out of the competition completely. Better to have a reasonable team to watch live every second week or two, than to have no team at all.
If we can't afford to buy a decent Coach( and I agree that we probably can't), there's no use waiting for the fairy godmother, or Godfather , to sign an open cheque for us, it's all talk,
Nothing more
A good coach is now a must in this competition, and if we can't afford that, then we may as well, go somewhere where we will be able to Afford some quality players and a coach that knows that going down the ladder isn't the direction that you need to go to win premierships.

Stuff that.

We have done our bit for the game by merging.

If it's the only way out, would you rather not have a club at all?
Our previous " bit" is not going to change things , we are still a basket case and with Balmains problems not looking good, anything could happen.
The extra money coming to the clubs will not change much as ALL clubs are getting that amount, so players costs will go up accordingly and we'll be back to roughly the same gaps between teams
If we can't afford to buy an experienced and good coach, when that money doesn't come out of our cap, what hope have we to become competitive with the top sides.
None.
I know what it's like when you can't get to see your team play live each week,
But believe me( from experience ( moving to the GC) you get used to it. And these days you can see all the games on tv anyway.
I don't know if relocation will happen at all, but I'd rather do it on WTs terms than wait and be told how it will happen
And it would be no surprise it it does.

 

[Tigermama]

So now we need to relocate

Some need a bex and a lie down… Seriously, some of the dramatics In this thread are way OTT

Lol. Caffeine and alcohol is the modern day bex nowdays. :laughing:

Absolutely correct GCT. It would be a miracle if he plays.

I get what u are saying, but the NRL should never allow that considering the sacrifice we have already made. I know that means stuff all to the NRL and they will screw us if needed.

A coach who is a smart operator would play both in the NRL next year and would have negotiated with Farah to have one more NRL year and then move to ESL. However, we don't have a smart operator but a dud.

Sounds exactly what was said in the first article that I saw about this debacle, and exactly what is "supposed" to have been agreed with the club in the meeting with Farah
And his manager.
That was before Taylor rang Souths and tried to do a deal with them to swap Farah with McQueen now.
Would have been a piece of sanity in this. So it was highly likely to fail.
Would have been a good way out for everyone.

Maybe? Maybe NSW picked Farah knowing they wouldn't be able to beat Queensland also… Pretty much makes his NSW Selection irrelevant also?..

Did this actually happen or is it hearsay,,,I can not find anything official or otherwise to say it did….Can you link the source please...

 

[innsaneink]

Just more of GCTs fantasies…so much dribble to sort thru
Try sticking to facts GCT

Thanks…hearsay then...

BTW..the News Ltd link leads to page not found..

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Thanks…hearsay then...

Please provide the official (or otherwise) denial by Taylor or the Club of what has been widely reported in the press and social media.

As if Taylor is gona deny Farah is a weasel

[Geo]

The Club doesn't need to play it out in the media or deny anything….not sure what that proves...the report of the swap is hearsay or media speculation nothing more

They have provided there reasons...

 

[Pawsandclaws]

And remember, our esteemed coach is a bit sensitive about criticism of his coaching. Remember the infamous call into MMM about Sterling and Johns criticised the performance of the team.

So Geo, we're waiting for the official or otherwise denial to press reports.
