Wests Tigers sign Robbie Farah for 2018 Official

[GNR4LIFE]

Of course We don’t want a player who has any talent , more likely.

After all , we have Elijah Taylor ,who is beyond a doubt, , one of the Rugby League worlds most sought after hookers , playing for us,
And a much mooted junior that the jury is well and truly still out on,
We are set , for years to come,
Why worry.?

Completely missed the point

No I didn’t.
I edited my post above , but it didn’t come up on this post,
It’s in the previous post,

If you are talking about guys like Packer, its a totally different kettle of fish.

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

Has he tipped him into how to organise a rally?

Just give me the nod, I am an expert at such with proven record. Would you sit down arrests with that? Chained around trees? Taking the cops on like Artie Beetson? Burning truck tyres as per Palestinians? And decked in what teams guernseys?

I don't see a need to bring him back to compliment Benji in the future, as I don't want Benji to remain in a playing role in the future. Robbie is poison, his ego would derail WT's team-first mentality faster than Mitchell Moses and his uncle Isaac did.

A mentor for Liddle would be good, yes, but not Robbie, or he will wreck Liddle altogether.

Couldn’t agree more with TigerTigers post ,the bloke was the reason (IMO)why Benji was shown the door all them years ago. The then administration of the club should’ve listened to Potter when he was coach ,only ever wanted to sign Farah for 2 but the mayor of Leichhardt ( Farah) got his way and that is when the rot set in and the cast was set for the so called big four to try and have their chance to hold the club at ransom and demand ludicrous deals that would of killed the club!! So back to Farah IMO does not deserve a final year to finish where it all began.. That ship 🚢 has sailed ….. NEEXXTTT!! :supporter:

Hasn’t hurt Cook at all , that’s come straight from the Coach and from Cook himself, unlike most of the drivel that’s has been printed about RF
It seems that half this forum sat in on every conversation that Farah ever had here
They all know every word :laughing:

Of course it’s different, mainly because his name isn’t Farrah.

So you’d obviously rather have people here who have been, without a doubt , pretty anti social ( to put it VERY kindly) And average players as well
Rather than someone who is outplaying any hooker, ithat we have in this club,
We’ve got plenty of plodders, what we want is some people who can push themselves hard enough to be a winner

Push themselves hard & push coaches out the door. He should never be welcomed back to this club after he childish outbursts when leaving. How many players in league are moved on, how many carry on like the precious one?

It’s different because Packer never tried to sabotage a club. What he did was reprehensible, but he served his time, now has a family and is a University graduate. When a player goes out of his way to do everything he can to throw a club under the bus he is not going to be welcome back to the club. Simples.

 

[Snake]

The media like writing good Robbie Farah stories now. Interesting.

Of course when the jurnos are getting free food and drinks from the manager!

 

[NT_Tiger]

Whose Farrah?

Fawcett

She was a hottie from the 70's GNR

Didn't think she played league or a hooker at any stage

She played hooker in 'The Substitute Wife'. But that was some time ago. I think we've missed our opportunity.

 

[Balmainian]

No to Farah!
Yes to a good hooker.

Ha - so that's all it takes. Ill keep that in mind when I read positive stories about other players too.

There was a fair bit of throwing under the bus by both the Club and the so called Coach, and neither of us know all the truth on that, I don’t mind if he tried to continue his contract, it wasn’t his fault that the club was stupid enough to sign him for that amount of time,

I’ve still never seen any legitimate proof that he sabotaged anything and il bet you haven’t either,
He had the right to fight to stay if he wanted to.
I love your selective forgiveness , it’s hilarious that it’s ok for one, but not for another who hasn’t hurt anyone.
Wasn’t there a cloud over Fanua as well,
Don’t worry about it though,

I’d love to see him back
A class hooker is something we can only wish for at the moment .
Maybe he can come back if he gets a university degree, that seems to cancel out some pretty big mistakes

 

[Russell]

The point is he got a lot of people's nose out of joint and apparently is not welcome back.

Why do we keep bringing him up. He has NO chance.

Putting aside all of the above reasons mentioned

When he was our hooker for the last let’s say 5 years.
We where so bad it’s not funny, this year there’s flicker off light to make finals and I’d hate to see it vanish because Farah came back and wanted to do it his way again.

No To Farah
Yes to a good hooker.

 

[Bags71]

It seems these threads and posts never end.

No, No, No, from me again.

Wouldn't let him within five miles of Liddle.

I’m with you on this one Russell, the simple answer to the question posed is NO!! There you go goldcoasttiger no more drivel as you call it!! IMO :dead

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Well thought out Balmainian
Of course you are right.
Allthe crap decisions that the club made ,
all the crap players that we have had to put up with , all the good players that we couldn’t hold on to, all the garbage coaches that we brought into the club …. is Robbie Farah’s fault.
He’s the reason that we were rubbish,,
One of the few players that could be relied on to put 100% effort in every time he ran onto the field
Yeah right, laughable

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

I am sure Farah would not want to finish his career in controversy. It would be a fairytale ending for Club and Farah to return and hookerise Tigers into the finals - frankly speaking nobody else is going to do it.

The 4 year contract was to smooth out heavy back-ending that was in the Club's interest as perceived at the time.

We learnt two years ago that the Club doesn't really care if they don't make the finals what else is new. If Russell can keep a grudge against Souths, another working class club, for events about 90 years ago he is not the person I would listen to.

I think Liddle already has the smarts he just needs the strong chassis not the crumbling one - the team already has plenty of weak spots or under performers so what we can fix up we should.

If Ariel Sharon could reconcile and give land back to the Palestinians then doing a Two-Step with Farah and the roster to save a season is a very simple operation.

Not asking you to listen to me BBF.

There would be no changing your dogmatic view on RF.

Don't get me started on the Palestinians.

It could be argued that the comparisons you use are the worst on the Forum

I'm just not sure who would argue , that's all :brick: :brick:

 

[Abraham]

If it was done on a short term basis, then taking the emotion out of it, you would simply need to ask whether his inclusion would make us a better team this year?

I honestly don't know if he would… he has slowed down a bit at 34, doesn't provide quick service from dummy half, and has a questionable combination with Brooks. On the flip side he has pride in the jersey, and can defend all day. But they are attributes that Elijah Taylor also has.

So his only benefit would come from his smarts around the ruck. Is that enough reason to sign him?

As big a fan of Robbie as i have been over the years, i don't know if he going to be the answer we are looking for in 2018.
