Robbie Farah to Souths

2 year deal

Robbie Farah joins South Sydney Rabbitohs after long-running feud with Wests Tigers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Quality wise, that is a great pick up BUT Inglis, Surgess and Farah are a recipe for infighting. Thrown in Crowe on top of that and their coach, it could be very fun to watch off field.

As I said elsewhere, he signed a two year deal to ruin another club.

McInnes off to the Dragons. Pretty much like for like with Rein. Probably cheaper though.

Farah has signed a two year deal to ruin another club.

Robbie Farah joins South Sydney Rabbitohs. Cameron McInnes released to Dragons



McInnes released to join the dragons.

Yuk. On both counts.

Particularly for Dragons. McInnes looks clueless most of the time. Can't see him giving any shape to the Dragon's attack.

Is he related to Brent Tate?

Surprised there were no rumours about Farah coming to the Broncos this time.

Too toxic even for Bennett.

Allegedly the Tigers will still be paying him $750k next year not to play for them.
Incredible.

**** me
they must have badly wanted to get rid of him
Newcastle should have thrown a bid in at that price

I reckon he'll be a great pickup. Still a quality player and has a good 2 years in him. Certainly am upgrade on McInnes.

This will undoubtedly mark the return of LOL@50uff$ :laugh:

Carter off to the Chooks in mildly related news.

Farrah at that price is a bargain IMO. He won't be the darling of the club so won't wield the same power he did at the Tigs.

The Roosters with yet another "sign a deadshit on the cheap" deal.

Just a stop gap for Souffs though. They'll be back to square one in two years time.

Rabbits would have been better off with cook
farah will only stop Reynolds and Walker getting the ball

This just confirms the quality of the Rabbitohs recruitment drive. They've cleared out a lot of the dead-wood and replaced them with better parts that should ensure their return to the Top 8.

Even if he continues to be selfish, Farah is an instant upgrade on McInnes. While he's slipped in recent years, Farah is still one of the better hookers in the game and he'll add more creativity and spark that the Rabbitohs were really missing.

But then you've got the backline with Burns, Fuimaono and Robert Jennings. They're a lot better than the depth options Souths had to struggle with and will actually add some much needed potency.

I think the important thing is, they got rid of Carter, Auva'a and McInnes. Those players were just holding the club back and I think their efforts resulted in a poor season. Now if only they could throw Brown into the mix.

They should make the eight, just a matter of whether a relatively kind Origin period will allow them to make the Top 4.

I dont think Rabbitohs was the best fit for Robbie. I think The dragons shouldve dumped Benji and picked up Robbie. Theyre attack needs a real kick in the ass. I just dont see Rob suiting the bunnies style. If it works out than its great news for NSW having Farah and Reynolds build a bit of a combination before origin.
