Robbie has to play

[Eddie]

I just want a hooker playing hooker. We need some creativity there with Brooks out.

Cherrington, Liddle or Farah would all be good for the bench.

Being Leichhardt Oval it would lift the crowd and maybe the team if they bought Farah back for this one.

Playing Rob off the bench would benefit the team and unite the fans at LO for a huge day against a team that is clearly better than us. It won't happen as it would further add fuel to the fire if we won the game.

That said we need a hooker replacing Dene and Cherro won't hit the salary cap otherwise I would play Liddle. I think Lovett and Rankin should be in NSW cup and we need to bring in JAC and Cherro.
The other 2 that are impressive are Rod Griffin and JJ Felise.

It might unite some fans but I'm not sure it will unite the team….gee I wonder why benny Elias hasn't weighed in on this issue

Because it is his nephew who has flourished with Wobbies sacking.Otherwise he could well be all over his like a bad rash.

Brooks under an injury cloud.
Halatau offering nothing.
Rankin needed back on the wing.

Seriously, Robbie needs to be there! It's a no brainer.

Well said, Kul, thanks for stating the obvious. We were awful for a period tonight and needed some direction. Bring back Farah!

I think he was missed this week. To lead 28-6 and then lose showed that we lacked some composure and direction. We would have won had he played.

Cheeky, but nonetheless correct.

Robbie is done. If publicly bashing the club last week and referring to them as ''they'' wasn't bad enough, re-tweeting a story insinuating that JT was responsible for a players thoughts of suicide will be. We won't see Reggie in first grade again.

 

[Defiant]

I posted initially last night that Farah should be in if Brookes is out.

I've reconsidered that since taking into account Farahs twitter usage during the week.

I'd rather lose then play Farah sadly on principle. Apologies to the people who still support him.

I don't think Robbie even likes to watch Wests Tigers play anymore…

Farah and Marshall, both experienced players, played in the game when Parra scored a number of tries at the end of the game, and they even had a chence to win. Not to mention that heart breaking loss in finals against Warriors. Go figure.

Great point. It's pretty mature calling him Wobbie as well.

Robbie has to be in the top team. He is a player that can lead us to the finals and win us games then.

come on steve, I dont see you calling out the people who call Taylor names, such as pasty, scarecrow, weasel, pretender amongst other things. Though I do agree that its immature, but so far the majority of immaturity has come from the Farah supporters funnily enough

 

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

Thought Halatau went alright. Did what was required, nothing flash, gave the ball to our halves. That's exactly what we need.
.

Agreed. What do we do for the other 35 minutes that Halatau spends on the bench?

 

[innsaneink]

Don't know if true because I can't verify, but Fox reported after the Cowboys/Storm match tonight that Farah was present at the game today but walked out before it started.. Could have been a legit reason of course, but not the best look given recent history if true.. He probably won't be playing next week if that was another dummy spit!

There was footage of him in the sheds with the team just before kick off….no other footage of him I saw after that

Fair point excluding the Farah supporters being the worst. The comments towards Robbie in my opinion are on another level.

Really? Burn the scarecrow has got a few runs. Have similar things been said about Farah?

Rankin to halves, Robbie to ESL.

I'd agree with both comments. Well written.

 

[NT_Tiger]

I'm interested to see a number of posts here saying that Farah should be brought back to give the team direction. I seem to recall ongoing discussions over the last two years about the severe lack of on-field leadership, nobody 'taking the reins', and Robbie was there the whole time. Suddenly he's a leader.

Nope, I'll take Moses.

Rankin to halves, Robbie to ESL.

They can both go to ESL, and take Rankins number 1 fan with them. 😛ray:

 

[newtiger]

Without Brooks there as the second kicker we need Robbie in the team, maybe playing off the bench again.
Sometime people just have to swallow their pride and do what's best for the team (in that I mean both Robbie and JT).
I also think that Rankin needs a week in the Reggies after that performance.
JAC to the wing.

Remember the days when Robbie wore the 7 on his back….. :sunglasses:
