I 100% agree with tigersrule4life…**IF Robbie Farah leaves the Tigers it wont be to the lowly placed Eels...no matter how much $$$ the throw at him. The Eels have failed in their bids to recruit 4 tops line players since Stuart became coach...so why would Farah join them...he's way to smart to just follow the coin**....providing the Tigers stump up some decent coin Farah will most likely sign with us again.
You don't know that, your talking with your heart not your head. The fact they have missed out on 4 big names just makes them even more desperate now and that means they'll most likely throw even more cash at the next guy cos they'll want to land someone. Its very romantic to have this belief that he could never want to leave and he'll be here for life cos we are supporters, we are emotionally invested, we don't get offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars a yr to follow another team. For players its their lively hood and if the offer is big enough it will always have a say. **Don't be foolish enough to think he won't go anywhere cos like i've said a lot times, im sure there was a time when Penrith fans would have thought the idea of their captain walking was outrageous**.
I would say it's a pretty safe bet that players take into account the chances of the sides that they are playing in of winning a premiership, especially if they are getting towards the end of their career. In that case it is no surprise that Lewis chose Cronulla over Penrith really. You would think that Penrith were capable of offering Lewis as much money as Cronulla so I think his decision wasn't entirely based on money alone.
Plus it sounds like he really had the dirts with getting punted from the captaincy at the Panthers.
