**Farah has taken over at Souths and upset his new teammates, and a ball hasn't even been kicked yet.**
Got nothing against Robbie but it seems he brings a curse wherever he goes.
The more we don't want to talk about Robbie the more we say that we don't want to talk about Robbie, which means we're talking about being sick of talking about Robbie which means we're talking about Robbie.
Seeing as the rest of what Burgess said in that article was conveniently omitted in the OP here is what he followed up with….
**“Robbie has been great at this club and I’m sure he will continue to be great over the season.”**
Farah, who is vying with Damien Cook for the hooking role, facing the Tigers in round one is a dream match for the NRL given his fallout with former coach Jason Taylor.
**But Burgess was quick to point out Farah isn’t the same person as he is sometimes portrayed.**
**“If you have never met Robbie, and never heard a thing about him, and you saw the way he goes about himself down in our changing rooms with our team, you’d find it hard to believe what’s been said and written about him,” Burgess said**
“I think all that (Tigers drama) is behind Robbie. There is always politics at clubs — he had been there for so many years. You know how the game works sometimes.
**“I judge people on how they are in our system, our structure, our culture and Robbie has been fantastic.** Obviously with what went on last year, it was quite an emotionally draining year for him. But, like I said, that is behind him now and he is ready to roll again.
**“Robbie is one of the most professional blokes I have come across.** He will deal with it just fine. He is very competitive and I think all his old teammates will know that.”
