This was a MUST for the Tigers to be any good in the forseeable future. If Robbie went I think Benji would have too.

Good to see they dangled the captaincy carrot at him to because he is a leader no doubt.

Good signing in the end!

They definitely needed that. Weak squad, but quite a few talented youngsters so Robbie staying should also help plenty of the young guns feel the desire to stay and build a decent team there.

Still think he's going to have to really fight to succeed Buderus in the NSW #9. Ennis' form has been hard to ignore of late.

 

[dukey]

He wouldn't have left anyway. I remember an interview with him where he talked about moving out of home, but changed his mind because the idea of it upset his mother so much. I doubt he'd have moved interstate.

 

[Bucking Beads]

A 5 year contract for injury prone hack!! I hope the Tigers enjoy him he will prove to be a massive failure..

 

[Emma]

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's a hack, but he's nowhere near as good as you seem to think he is either Shaun! He's a decent footballer but he also has a lot of flaws in his game.

 

[Emma]

That's just it Shaun, you think he's a LOT more than a decent footballer. The way you go on about him you'd think he was the next coming of Jesus Christ or something!

I still say he's a decent footballer, a good footballer, whatever you want to call it. He's nowhere near being a great footballer, and I'm far from convinced he'll ever be that.

This singlehandedly saved them the spoon for 2010 I recon, you look at games they play without farrar and its rediculous how quickly they fall apart.

The titans are now much poorer looking with this lost oportunety with preston and rogers soon to retire and friend semingly going elsewhere the titans are going to go downhill if they can't counterballance with some good talent injection for 2010. I'm concerned for them to be honest.

 

[Black Philip]

Provided the injuries stay away, Farah will be indispensible for the tigers. Second best hooker in the comp IMO.

 

[Coxy]

Yep, after Andrew McCullough.

 

[mick]

MASSIVE signing for the Tigers. Without Farah, the Tigers could have expected the spoon in coming years. Farah just being their can and will attract quality players to the Tigers in the future.

Dude, if Thurston couldn't save the Cowboys from the spoon, Farah can't do the same for the Tigers. Anything better than 14th this year would still IMO be a decent result for them.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I can't see Farah surviving the season out TBH as for Origin IMO Ennis is a must particularly ahead of the over-rated Farah.

 

[Coxy]

There's no fish out today Coxy.

Not fishing. By end of 2011 McCullough will be rated the world's best hooker and will have unseated Cam Smith as QLD and Australian hooker. I'm certain of it.

 

[Kimlo]

Farah is an awesome player, top signing for the tigers and extremely important.
Second best hooker in the comp and probably the NSW hooker next year.

 

[Hamm.0]

and probably the NSW hooker next year.

Well, he doesn't really have much competition.

 

[Coxy]

I'm dead serious. Mark it down and let's check my prediction in 3 years.

 

[The Brizz]

Farah is a dynamic player and if he stays fit one of the competitions best let alone the games 2nd best rake. I am glad he stayed and even more glad Friend has the shits with the Titans for backdooring him twice with bids for Smith and Farah despite the fact along with Leffranchi and Princehe was one of his teams standout players last year.

 

[Kimlo]

and probably the NSW hooker next year.

Well, he doesn't really have much competition.

Neither does cameron smith.

 

[Je$ter]

Meh, Farah isn't that great. Ennis is better than him. He is probably 4th or 5th ranked hooker in the comp I reckon.
