Wests Tigers sign Robbie Farah for 2018 Official

[hugh1954]

Love him back for balance of season/ 2019 mentor for Liddle

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Could play his 250th against the Bunnies. There's a bit of irony there.

 

[joe]

If the current 9 position is causing us some real concern and there is a possible remedy for it, and it fits in with ICs plan to be more competitive, why not

 

[GNR4LIFE]

And if his form holds up, you could probably give him another year. All he's gotta do is tackle and make sure his passes out of DH stick.

 

[larrycorowa]

No, no, no and no. He near wrecked the joint, bad mouthed everyone and bc he wants one last chance at glory he comes grovelling back….it’s all about robbie

 

[The_Patriot]

It would be a desperate signing by a desperate club. Much like Parra signing Hayne.
It sounds ok to the fans but our jobs arnt on the line. My opinion of Cleary would just about evaporate if he made such a nervous move halfway through a season.

Why? We have no 80 min dummy half options. Farah is available and happens to be quality, why not try and make the most of this year and nab him to make a push for the semis?

Spot on Clifferd.

Nothing like the Hayne situation at all. We have an actual role that needs to be filled if we dream if making the 8

Rather than try to defend their hatred of the guy with logic idcrather they just come out and say they hate him. End of story, simple.

 

[joe]

If we are interested because he fits in with ICs plan to be more competitive, why not go for it.

 

[upthetigers]

Farah back in Tigers colours where he belongs.

Let's give this LEGEND a proper farewall.

 

[The-moP]

So that means our team could run out looking like this against the Titans:

1\. Mbye
2\. Thompson
3\. Marsters
4\. Fonua
5\. Nofoaluma
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Matulino
9\. Farah
10\. Packer
11\. Taylor
12\. Lawrence
13\. Eisenhuth

14\. Twal
15\. Aloiai
16\. Rochow
17\. Chee-Kam

If we were just getting the good bits of Farah then it would be great. But we'd be getting all of him. And his bad bits outweigh his ability IMO.

 

[matchball]

Slow service and hogs the ball. No thanks.
He won't solve our hooker problems.
Play the spastics we have now and buy in the off season.

 

[MissMe911]

So you are happy for us to throw away this season?
And you think honestly that farrah is no better than taylor at hooker?

Lol.

 

[Yossarian]

The service so far this season has hardly been crisp.

 

[WT2K]

Farah back in Tigers colours where he belongs.

Here here :sign:

Agree Gal - let's hope Cleary knows better.

 

[happy_tiger]

the nit pickers can nit pick, once we start winning more (which is a certainty) they will forget. Mbye, Farrah and …? who will be number 3

What…we'll win due to Farah? We couldn't do that for a decade with him at his peak.

Exactly right , people quote we only made the semis 3 times in 10 under Sheens , well we only made the semis 3/13 with Robbie

Certainly no Messiah that's for sure

Plus you bring both Marshall and Farah back together at your own risk , they still wield a lot of power

Rabbitohs fans on LU want to keep Farah. They praise his influence on Cook as the reason Cookie is the player he is now.

Would you rather have…Taylor/Godinet as our hooker rotation for the rest of the year or play Farah 80 mins week in week out with 4 forwards on the bench.

Don’t kid yourself, Farah would solve all of our problems barring he doesn’t bring the club down which I’m confident he won’t with IC steering the ship

I'd prefer to go with Killa short term and fail than bring back Farah , CULTURE isn't something you use when it suits , much like the decision to stand down Fonua

Just my opinion

 

[newtiger]

I’d prefer e went in a different direction but there are positives.

1)Farah has been an excellent mentor for Cook and he is loved by the coaching staff and management at Souths. I know some personally.

2)He is currently better than our current batch of hookers. Most important point.

3) It rights a wrong done by JT to one of our club legends and heals some wounds for some supporters.

4) Provides a storyline should we lose our next two games effectively ending our season.

Cleary is no mug the positives far outweigh the nagatives. As long as it’s short term I’m fine with it.

He was treated like dirt by a grub and reacted poorly I admit but he’s an emotional _little guy_ and his loyalty and love of the Tigers can’t be questioned. His actions were poor but sometimes that happens when people are out to get you.

Apparently.

I think that balance of power has been tipped to IC. Marshall and Farah will be at the mercy of IC who is no Tim SHeens, Mick Potter or Jason Taylor. Some people just need to let go of the past.

Not really Chris , just proves to me that this "culture" we all have talked about is crap

Well he's not s rookie coach or a coach under pressure from the board so I cant imagine him resorting to Farah.
We'll see I guess.
