Robbie Farah

[tigermaniac]

Dead set champion. With all the youth coming through this bloke is going to go to another level next year. We just need a couple top notch forwards and he'll control the play like no other. Playing in a side with Benji was never easy for him, he would have felt overshadowed, there were many times i believe he contained himself pretty well. The endless rumors that they didn't see eye to eye and so on, i think stemmed from Benji overruling his captain and not playing to the game plan. Now that Benji is going, Robbie will have full control, and his influence will be enormous.

Disagree with a lot of the above.

No point saying it here though.

Really, thats what this forums is about! Freedom of speech. So long as it is thought out and intelligent and isn't just downright abusive…. Go for it.

Hmmm not sure about that , with Benji gone our 6th tackle options will improve dramatically with Brooks and Anasta calling the shots Robby as good as he is unfortunately he and Benji have had so many brain explosions on the last tackle option.

Robby just needs to control the ruck and let the halves spearhead the attack.

i thought farah played crap last night. he was ok going to short side. but really offered nothing in attack. Issac luke had it all over him and always does. luke set up two tries to farah 0\. think farah overrated at the moment.plus Joel Luani is to good of a player to sit in reserves most the year. farah has too much say as a player and is no cam smith.

Considering Souths were one of the clubs chasing after Farah when he was coming off contract, some people must think he's better than Isaac Luke.

Bad game from Farah in many ways.

He & Benji both deviated from the game plan that was working.

But new season coming and a full off season for them to get it right. Unless he gets picked on the Kangaroos tour

i take it back farah 55 tackles apparently. we have to stop him being tackle machine and back into attack

would be good to have them both playing.

You can't just magically stop tackling, opposition runs at him to take away from his attack. He plays in the middle of the field, what do you expect?

Some bench time would be one idea. Most teams have two hookers.

Yeah I agree, the team tired and ran out of ideas once Souths got 13 back and reset their defensive structure. Too much turning the ball back inside, with slow runners. That will only kill us, we aren't noted as fast PTB specialists.

Then Farah tried to up his game, once we were behind - did some good things like the intercept, but was trying a little too hard. 56 tackles is to be commended, but Isaac Luke really picked his moments and came out clearly on top in the hooker battle.

Doesn't hurt for Luke though to probe in around some shoddy Blair/Siro ruck defence and find the entire Souths team backing up in support.
