The latest dribble from the DT in relation to this debacle:
Wests Tigers arrange peace talks between coach Tim Sheens and captain Robbie Farah in a bid to heal Four Nations rift

WESTS Tigers coach Tim Sheens and Robbie Farah will meet face to face in the next few days - the first time the pair have seen each other since falling out during the Kangaroos' Four Nations campaign.
Wests Tigers boss Stephen Humphreys will contact the pair today to organise a meeting between them in the hope of piecing their relationship back together.
It is understood Farah is irritated about being overlooked by Sheens for the Four Nations Tests in England, in particular Australia's game at Wembley Stadium when Farah was omitted from the Kangaroos bench at the last minute.
The Tigers hooker left the Kangaroos campaign just days after the game at Wembley Stadium to be by the side of his mother, who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The feuding pair had originally agreed to meet next week after Farah goes under the knife for minor groin surgery.
But club officials want the pair to meet sometime in the next few days in light of The Daily Telegraph's revelations the pair's relationship is strained to the point Farah could be forced to leave the club.
Farah has been tentatively linked with Parramatta but Eels chairman Roy Spagnolo this morning denied his club has had any contact with Farah or his manager Sam Ayoub.
"There's been no contact,'' Spagnolo said.
"I've got no knowledge of it.''
Wests Tigers officials are privately confident of reconciling the pair and keeping them at the club next season. Farah is contracted until the end of 2013 and Sheens is tied to the club until the end of 2014.

So why doesn't the DT ever use the 'brilliant Farah' term around Origin time? wait, thats because they're to busy on Ennis' campaign trail. Thats a classic case of politics and agenda right there
From what i remember Farah came home only after a couple of weeks on tour, so how could he be upset that he wasn't getting game time. Impossible to find any credibility in any article that doesn't provide direct quotes, instead just provides hearsay with such good old terms such as a 'reliable source'

So the DT covers their arse on this crap story both ways. If there is even the glimmer of a disagreemment between the two they were right and even if there isn't and everything is business as usual next year (as I fully expect) it's because of the "reconciliation". Bullcrap.

If nothing comes of this then that seems like a good idea. Oh but wait, how do we know that it wasn't because of the reconciliation meeting that took place,which the DT reported exclusively :unamused:

Your grasp of comprehension is crap. I have accused Farah of nothing and I did not make any comment on Farah's Mother's illness. Just reporting what I was told.
Fact is that Farah was told that he would be playing and then he was not picked. What happened after that is purely conjucture. No one knows, not even you.
Read my post again (aloud if necessary and with a guide to the English Language handy).

Anyone else think this article was to spice up AFL vs NRL in the west of Sydney? On the DT back page you have the GWS team with new signings and under it the NRL team they are up against (WT)in the battle for fans looking like they are in some in fighting. Looks like the DT set it up.

Nice each way bet by the Terrorgraph there.

Some of the comments of the terrograph website are funny. Talk about some people being delusional. They think that Ennis is better than Farah.
There has been 92 comments about this story. Proves people have no lives and believe anything they read.

I earn my living as a writer chief - you're miles off the mark having a go at my English. As an aside, you don't mean my "grasp of comprehension" - that's a tautology. Look it up.
More importantly, a question: when you said 'when Farah left England to be with his mother, who was "ill"' why did you put quote marks round the word 'ill'?

T-D-C the Terrograph are a pathetic excuse for a newspaper. They are bias towards certain teams & players. They have a dislike for the Tigers because they will not put up with their garbage and as you said Benji writing for the competition.

Story did it's job, generated plenty of hits and prolly sold a few newspapers.
I can't imagine anyone being that upset to be included on a tour and not play - being included on the tour would be awesome to pretty much everyone (i'm guessing the ARL paid for the flights and accommodation?), and Farah got to see a few EPL games and some tourist sights.
He's got an ego but i can't see it being that ridiculous

If you have a clause in your contract which stipulates 'x' Representative games to trigger an upgrade, you might be upset if its your club coach who has chosen to overlook you?!
