Robbie future

[happy_tiger]

Wonder if Thursday will be his last game ??

No way Madge will not select Farah, unless injured, with 6 games to go...Liddles time starts on November

And there is the shame - let's start next year behind the 8 ball as well with Liddle still needing to get up to speed with 80 min. NRL games.

[innsaneink]

Do other clubs have ambassadors & what's their role?

Should work well then

Farah feared his career
NRL: Wests Tigers superstar Robbie Farah fronted the media ahead of his 300th game this weekend and reflected back on hi...
Wests Tigers legend Robbie Farah will announce his retirement from rugby league on Tuesday.

The Daily Telegraph can however reveal star veteran Benji Marshall is almost certain to play on again in 2020.

Wests Tigers will hold a special media conference to announce Farah’s retirement at his beloved Leichhardt Oval at 11am.


Farah will play the remainder of this year before ending what has been one of the finest playing careers for a hooker in the modern era.


If Wests Tigers fail to qualify for the finals, Farah’s last game of rugby league will be against Cronulla in round 25, ironically at Leichhardt Oval on a Sunday afternoon.

At age 35, Farah has told friends his body would struggle to cope with another gruelling season of NRL football.

It was only last week against Newcastle that Farah played his 300th NRL game. He will play his 301st against North Queensland at Leichhardt Oval.

Marshall, 34, has told club officials he wants to play again in 2020 and a new deal is just about to be done

Farah has long been regarded as Wests Tigers legend, despite being controversially pushed from the club to play with Souths in 2017 and most of last season before a fairytale return to Concord.

Clever and tough, Farah played 16 State of Origin games for NSW and eight Tests for Australia.

His greatest achievement though may well be guiding and inspiring Wests Tigers to their historic and famous grand final win over North Queensland back in 2005.

Farah celebrated what he thought would be his final game for Wests Tigers at the end of 2016, again at Leichhardt, when told he was unwanted at the joint venture club.

Robbie Farah played eight Tests for Australia.

He sat on the scoreboard and knocked out a couple of beers as he looked out over Leichhardt - his field of dreams.

It is understood Wests Tigers have extended the player set to replace Farah at hooker – 22-year-old Jacob Liddle.

“He (Liddle) is going really well, I’m really pleased with Jacob,” Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire told the media last week.

“Jacob Liddle is going to be a big part of the future and where we’re going.”

Maguire and club chief executive Justin Pascoe will also attend today’s announcement.

Earlier this year, Farah told the media: “For myself, Benji and the older guys, we’re not just building what we want to this year but trying to leave a lasting legacy so this club can have long-term success.”

While his milestone match was last week, Wests Tigers will celebrate Farah’s 300 against the Cowboys tomorrow evening.

Who takes over he still hasn’t been replaced since Taylor.

Hopefully it’s not Robbie Farah replacing Farah again

Farah still gives us the best chance to win atm.
We criticise the Tigers for not putting winning first and at the same time want to look forward to next year. Liddle has himself to blame he surely could have taken the hooker role by now.

Did that say tomorrow evening at the end of that article ? Against North Queensland tomorrow evening lmao ..piss poor journalism

How would he do that Tyga????

Like a lot of things you say on here but that is just crap.

He cannot overcome management and the coach no matter how good he plays - he is proving that now.

He could have done it when Pita Goodinet or ET was out hooker.

Pretty sure he was injured at the time.

Fair point I like Liddle he will be a gun just hasn’t taken his opportunity like Brailey for Cronulla.He should have taken the position a year ago injuries aside. Hope he goes well.

 

[Telltails]

If Liddle was unhappy or dissatisfied with the way he has been played, and or was heavily pursued by another club, he wouldn't have recently re-signed.
If anything the club has nursed him through the injuries and allowed him time to build strength instead of expecting him to deliver on potential before he was physically capable.

Then it is not his fault like @TYGA says that he should've claimed the NRL spot off Robbie, excluding the fact that he was injured a lot of the time as well.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It's patently obvious that if Farah retires this year which is looking very likely, then Liddle only need bide his time until round 1 next year.

I still hope we have a plan to secure another hooker. Liddle has had a rough trot with injury in the past, and it's good to have competition for the spot.

Don't see how it has to be any ones fault. It's about managing what you have got effectively for the best result/outcome. We have two hookers with different strengths and weaknesses.
Fans make assumptions without all the information - hence our constant frustration.

I agree with this. Liddle looks good when he has fresh legs against a fatigued team, but I have serious doubts around his impact and durability as a starting hooker.

Going into 2020 with him as our sole hooking option would be incredibly risky.

Have Fox Sports made any announcements when his retirement is expected
