Robbie can't show everyone this week,but the rest of the team can show some balls this week,John's interview was fine,Farah handled himself well,lets hope this is a turning point.I genuinely beleive John's likes our side,he is as disgusted as us at our last 3 weeks.

Thanks! Exactly what I was after. Fox Sports videos don't load for me…

Handled well by Robbie, I wish he was playing this week. Seems very fired up. Hopefully the rest of the boys feel this way and come out strong.
 
THAT is why Robbie Farah is captain. He bleeds Tigers spirit. Didn't mind Johns asking some tough questions. Loved Farah's replys. Love the way he ripped the jersey off Johns. He was ticked off massively.
 
sorry guys truth hurts johns is 110 % right we are soft asa girls nightie club has lost its soul no its not like other years farah is all talk no action like the team and coach 48 missed tackles. about time someone asked hard questions not dorothy dix questions.
 
"What about this rumour about you and Benji having a fallout and are no longer talking?"

"Where'd you hear that?"

Now let me just precursor this by saying I really think all this speculation is nonsense, we've had these same issues for the past 2 seasons and finished top 4, AND just like Robbie laughed, "It's March!"

But The way he answered that question, so defensively. From a body language and a rhetoric point of view, Robbie is pretty much admitting there is a rift and is just poorly deflecting by challenging Johns.

EDIT: Watching the video again, he's wiping his hands alot on his jeans when the Benji issue comes up (sweaty palms are an indication of lying/deception). Conversely, he doesn't give any tells when he answers the question about Sheens and the playing group, so it's clearly he is telling the truth with that issue.
 
I'm sure I heard him say 'we put all that to bed last year'. What got put away? There was bad blood? I didn't/don't believe that there is but that comment intrigued me

Exactly how I saw it.

Farah getting pumped got me psyched.

I've always loved the bloke but now I'm gonna propose.

Onya Robbie!
 
Matty Johns didn't appear as bad as some made him out to be there, but generally the new Matty Johns is becoming a bit like the witches who poisoned him (ABC reporter and Grimshaw), less jovial and more bitter, sad to see.
 
Being installed as premiership favorites at the start of the season and than turning in 4 sub standard games and in fact sinking lower each week you would expect Johns or anyone else to apply the blow touch. Robbie seems to get this gig all the time, when the chips are down they send in the no9 and not the coach. Anyway he handled himself well but the words have got to transform into results and I just cant see that happening over the next month and than the horse has bolted
 
It will be worth tuning in to the Game Plan tonight to see what round two looks like or whether a completely different tact will be taken by the interviewer and interviewee.
 
Matty is only saying what alot of you are in other threads…. and there are probably alot worse being said there than "soft".

For a team that is 1-3 and lucky to be, missing 48 tackles last week, front row being man handled by opposition and the club looked/looking at "toughening" up the pack by talking to Mason and Cashmere, soft is probably suitable at the moment.

Robbie may be entitled to feel ambushed but what did he expect to talk about on the couch? Credit to Robbie for the way he dealt with it.... Showed good emotion which should come out on the field more sooner rather than later.

My tip: we lose to Rabbits this week but beat Broncos on Good Friday.

Not sure I like the Johns' persona on this show. But I didn't mind him asking the tough questions. And I thought Robbie handled them quite well, it's a shame he won't be playing this weekend but he'll probably still be fired up for the Broncs!

For those who didn't see it, apparently when they went to a break Robbie said to Johns "So, you never played a bad game?" It was clear Robbie was taken back by the questions but like many have said, what did he expect??
 
Got no problem with the questions Matty asked. It's good to see Robbie fire up and not give the usual footballers answer yeah na. I do however think it was pretty weak of Matty to hide behind the old "rugby league circles" when Robbie asked where he heard the rumour. Matty should know better then to run with an unfounded rumour.

Matt Johns wouldn't know what a good game was

He was carried by his brother throughout his career and that became even more apparent when he switched to the Sharks
 
True HT if my memory serves me correctly he was exposed many times at the Sharks as a playmaker who regularly had trouble creating and who often didn't handle the one-on-one tackle.

Edit - I actually liked him as a player so remember being disappointed at this

I enjoyed the interview, based on Farah's responses. I was happy that Johns asking the questions, but didn't think it reflected on him well. He kept raising issues which had no solid evidence - rumour is this, people are saying that. Based on that, Johns couldn't do anything except move on when Farah answered, rather than digging deeper into each issue raised.

In regards to the body language, I took it as Farah feeling a bit uncomfortable with the questions. If someone attacks you, you react defensively. He quickly turned that around to give some pretty good answers.
