Robbie Farah signs new four-year deal with Wests Tigers
- Thread starter tigersrule4life
- Start date
Top news! I never really thought he would leave but there is always that doubt, especially given the past 12 months that perhaps he might have been tempted to grab a fresh start somewhere. Thankfully that was not the case. Kudos to Humphreys for working hard over the past week or so on getting it done ASAP.

Great news :slight_smile:
What About ''Farrah Parra'' ??
and also i thought Farah was itching play for his good mate Ricky Stuart , who said Farah Was 3rd choice for NSW , would have overlooked him for Origin last year if Ennis or Buderus werent injured .
maybe blocka got involved and helped seal the deal for Wts

Great news, I was starting to get very pessimistic at the thoughts of our prospects in the years to come if Farah had decided to pull the plug
From the official press release, I loved how Farah said he has so much CONFIDENCE in the future, so to me that shows he has plenty of faith in Mick Potter, plenty of Faith in the clubs playing rosters, plenty faith in the clubs ability to recruit and most importantly plenty of Faith in the WestsTigers as a joint venture!!

Parramatta are like an 80 yr old millionaire trying to attract a 21 yr old starlet wife but is only finding middle aged bogan single mums named Sharon

The interview was teary….....said how much he loved the tigers.Been here for so long,loves being the captian,wants to mentor the young kids coming through.
Great work all round,dare i say it from the much maligned Humphreys whom Robbi thanked several times for his tireless work on his signing.

I agree supercoach - that was my take on the announcement as well.
I think many of us feared that Robbie had become disillusioned with the team and its prospects and that he may seek a fresh start. This announcement demonstrates that not only is Robbie a loyal Tiger, but that he has confidence in the future of our team.
A fact that fills me with confidence about our future too.

Iosefa asked for a release to take up a contract at the Warriors as they are lacking a 9 at the moment,WestsTigers refused,they said that he is the only cover for Farah.
Don't we have any other 9's?

I'd give Joel Luani a run as backup hooker if Iosefa wants out. Luani is a better defender but not as sharp in attack.
