I especially like how there were stacks of people that voted after the signing was assured.

Landslide!!!!

They would be pragmatic and wait until his first game like before their first voting preference

Let me tell you fellas, my mate who barracks for Norths who once sold Craig Coleman half a loaf of bread and an oil filter for his HQ Kingswood reckons Farah will be the orange juice to our methylated spirits. Between his bouts of amateur bareknuckle boxing and trying to court one of Les Boyd's old ex girlfriends he said that while he was no holy Moses Farah would certainly be the closest thing to Jesus since Tommy shuffled along the hallowed turf of Lidcombe. I almost didn't hear him over the sound of me shooting at vagrants camped on top of the MLC Centre, but I did nearly fall off my horse which has a face a long as Justin "Lenny" Pascoe.

**This brings to mind some useless and obtuse foreign political reference which has no bearing on this pointless anecdote, but I'll share it anyway.**

It was obvious that Cleary and the Board read those great foreign political analogies and became greatly inspired by them to move the mountain to save the Tigers- that I had been warned on this board had less than a nanosecond chance of success. Next I will have Russell in the Israeli embassy thrashing out a M/E breakthrough. A place where I have been to by the way and completely stripped and had objects shoved up my anus.

Yes, I heard some things about you on that tour, still, each to his own, eh?

seeing that you asked, I led a Friends of the Earth delegation to the Israeli Embassy in about 1976 or 1977 complaining about their nuke bombs. They gave me full security treatment in a safe (vault) room near their front door. They were checking that I was not a terrorist. Just a keyboard terrorist at this stage.

Ah you are a cynic. Souths didn't have to release the bloke, many people were saying they shouldn't release him, but they did. Do you reckon Roosters or Broncos would have released Farah?

This move only goes to help the Tigers' season, not Souths', so it is a magnanimous move. We released Drinkwater for similar reasons, but at least that was to ESL and not a rival NRL club.

Just imagine, unlikely as might be, that Farah orchestrates some classic Tigers wins over Souths in the 2 games we still have to play with them, and it costs Souths a Top 4\. Or if we jag a Top 8 spot and come up against Souths in the finals.

So I guess everyone here swooning and gushing over Farahs return should be grateful and thankful to souths?
I therefore don't expect to hear a negative thing about them from here on in.
We are in their debt

I'm not swooning or gushing; certainly we are not in their debt either - they made a commitment to the footballer, not Wests Tigers.

But I do tip my hat. Like I said, Roosters or Broncos would not do something like this. A lot of Tigers fans don't like Souths but personally I see a lot of similarities between our clubs, also with us and Newcastle; same kinds of supporters, same lack of general success compared to past heydays.

They made a commitment to CULTURE.

It was about respect and being up front with people. Honoring their word.

It works wonders for culture!

its no surprise they are one of the favorites for the comp.

So it’s the culture? Some would say if culture determines results the Storm would have gotten the wooden spoon every year since 2003.

Don’t get me started on the Roosters.

I think most people have weighed up the risk and rewards and realised that he is only here for a short time, there wouldn’t be much chance of things going bad that quickly. The potential upside is huge though, especially for Robbie. He has a chance to completely change the way he is remembered by many fans.

Well I hope it ends up being a feel good story for all of us
If he stays fit and plays by Ivan's rules he will help no doubt
Still not sure about 80 minutes though
I think you will see liddle on the bench and get 25 minutes a game

I'll only put the boot in if and when Robbie jumps off the bus or he plays like a plodder I think you and Hobbo call them

Correct….
Forwards = Plodders
Backs = Nuffies

Would you like me to draw up a Rob Farah plodder scale ?
