Never been to campletown.

Me either !

Tigerspirit is correct, in 5 years time Farah will still be held in high esteem by supporters, not just from WTs but from other clubs.

Opposition supporters can't stand him. He's one of the most disliked players in the game.

Thats laughable. I don't know one person that follows another team that likes him.

I get out further than the Farah enclave. You live in the next bedroom to him I'd imagine.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

I believe Cherrington has demonstrated already that he is an integral component in our future together with Brooks, Moses and Tedesco. He certainly was when Balmain won the SG Ball title.

And…....????
His the nsw hooker,???
Like or not, does anybody including fans or players like Ennis, but most would want him in the team.
Farah has one of the best balance of attack and defence for a hooker and has a gift to read a play, his only issue is he sometimes over plays his role, usually when his forwards or backline are not doing there job.
His our current captain, and you are victimising him?
What character does it take to earn to be captain for a club and stay captain???
Could a few critics answer that without sound childish?

I'm not victimising him. And i don't believe he is held in high esteem by opposition fans.

It's not the first time that Brooks and Moses have played with Cherrington on the field, nothing dramatic has been seen on most of those times.
Are you sure your rusted on hatred of anything Farah does, isn't clouding your judgement.
Cherrington will eventually be our first grade hooker, but if you think he can handle it full time , you are kidding yourself.
Apart from that fact, The team cannot cover Another weak defender while Both the halves are together. We need to buy some forwards who can tackle and hurt, before bringing in another target, he needs another year and a lot of defence work.
Unfortunately we have no one here apparently, who has any success with coaching defence, so it's time we got someone in.

Someone critiques Farah's game and that means you have hatred for him. Sorry, I don't hate the guy and my judgement is fine.

To put it another way, before last weekend I thought Brooks was an average halfback. A glorified distributor of the ball that kicked on the last. I then saw a glimpse of his abilities when Cherrington came onto the field. Handling 4/6 times in each set, running to the line, flat bullet passes placing players in holes.

Farah then comes on the field and Brooks is back to handling the ball 2/6 times per set with 1 of those occasions to put the bomb up. It was pretty stark to me.

Yes, we need players in the middle of the ruck for defence. I am sure we will recruit someone, it's not insurmountable nor a reason why we must keep Farah.

Typical simplistic view of a nobody!
Just pick attack to base your argument. What a pile of crap.
He is a speed bump, worst defender in the team behind Moses. His body type will take years to develop. The club already know he is to small, they have been trying to get his size up, NOT WORKING!!
It will take time, stop picking one piece of the argument to try to win. It's a weak statagy!
Ohh yer, just buy agood defender inside him, that s been easy for us so far.

Sorry, didn't realise you were important and that your thoughts on an internet forum actually matter. I will be more careful next time.

Read the Knights forum, most on there are salivating at the the thought that they are chasing him. A few are negative, but most want him

Now, I will be accused of having a **Typical simplistic view of a nobody!** along with you!

Farah has been a very good player for the Tigers, but like us all, INCLUDING ME, we get a little slower with age. Often, Robbie's dummy half delivery involves a double shuffle before he passes, so the opposition defence takes two steps before the pass is made. This shuts down the first receiver and cramps any attacking attempts. Cherrington's passes appear to be quicker, which gives the first receiver more time.

What a load of agenda driven rubbish.

You can not be serious blaming Farah for Brooks having an average year.

This thread should be wound up….

 

[Guest]

This thread is very close to being wound up given the rubbish being sprouted now.

If you are suggesting that Farah is a reserve grade standard player you have lost all ability to be objective. Its not about being able to drop anyone based on performance - it was being told you will be playing reserve grade if you stay at the club regardless of how you play. In terms of culture if in fact that is true - people have called FARAH a sook over the years - that makes the coach look like the biggest sook of all.

When looking at our current roster, yes he should be playing reserve grade.

Why? The answer is not that Cherrington is a better hooker, it is that we now have two better playmakers in the squad - Brooks and Moses. With their style of play, we don't need a third play maker in the ruck, we just need good, quick service. The net result is that when they are able to take control and receive quick ball, what they provide exceeds that of what Farah provides. Farah's style of play belongs at another club where the half or 5/8 is a running type of player, not a play maker per se.

Farah's service is too slow and takes wrong options. I never realised how much Fara stifles Brooks until the match on the weekend. Brooks and Moses were another class when Farah was off the field.

Mate, you really have no idea!
I like cherrington great hands and reading of the game is great.
But, he is the size of Moses and look how his size is being hammered in the backs!
U are dreaming he is way to small for NRL, he is a liability in defence. The other teams are already targeting him. Watch the game that u said he was great in, and he was cartwheeled backwoods.
He needs about 12-18 months to build up in size and he will never be big, more like Luke, than farah! With our already increadably small, tiny size team we can't afford another tiny guy in defence.
We need farah for at least another season, or we will be pumped by teams right down the middle!
Don't let your hatred of Farah cloud 'what's really best for the team'.

He will be ready to go from game one ..6 months in the gym /good diet and the realisation his dreams are going to be answered, the greatest attributes a modern day hooker requires you have highlighted great hands /great passing game and reads the game well .

he will undoubtedly get a bit bigger in the gym , but gyms don't perform wonders
( well they do, but certain additives are required, and we don't want him going down that track) he needs more time than just an off season. For his body to be up to full time First grade.
Its been said before that we can't afford Three liabilities in the team full time, and he is going to have to at least reasonably good in defence to stay there.
Our middle is soft enough already, and we can't keep increasing the number of players who need minders in defence. We need Some people who can tackle. He's probably going to get there eventually. But I don't know why we are so hellbent on filling our team with speed bumps .
