When is Farah or ballin back?

Saw both of them at the game and there was no sign of a limp with either of them and both looked pretty fit. We are going to have a strong pack when we can play both of them. Cherrington and Halatau have done a great job but come mid season having two great defenders and good dummy halves will be a big bonus
 
Farah is not what he used to be.

However with a quicker ruck this year he should be better then last year.

He is a better option then Halatau.

I think there is a bit of life in the old dog yet and with these youngsters playing out of their skin he will want to be on his game.

I just fear he'll stifle our play. His service has been terrible for quite a while now and it looks like all we need is good service. I can't see him all of a sudden not over playing his hand as he's always done .
 
Good service can depend a little on a clean ruck.

Were getting that at the minute.

Im not disagreeing with you. However lets wait and see how he goes if we keep getting over the advantage line.

Well he's gonna deservedly come straight back into the team so let's hope he can fit in. Him playing at his best will add another dimension.
 
Farah is ahead of schedule wont be this week but team list Tuesday v Parra will be interesting…have a feeling they will run with Farah/Halatau...Cherry back to State Cup..
 
Farah is better than halatau. The past two games we hav dominated the ruck which will make his job easier. Just needs to play direct like he does in soo and get the forwards over the advantage line and he'll be an asset….albeit a very expensive one.
 
The media are circling about this one…

A specialist DH over Halatau will be better, as long as the play direct and not sideways.

Once Ballin & Farah are ready, where does that leave Halatau?
 
Farah started running this week and is hopeful of playing against the Eels on Easter Monday.

It depends what Robbie comes back doesn't it. The brilliant scheming hooker who can win us games or the guy who hogs it when the game is on the line and stuffs us up.
 
I think Farah and Balin after sitting in the stands for the past two weeks will not what to do, and that is to get quick early ball to the 6 and 7\. It should also be obvious to them that you have to lay the platform by playing quick and direct to pull the defenders in to create the space out wide.

It has been a long time since Farah has to fit into the team not the other way round ..your latter comment is easy for the coach he will be playing reserve grade if that is the case.
