Soward > Marshall
You stick with Soward,and we will stick with Marshall,lets see who wins this one.
Sowie is so good Saints are willing to let him go a year early so they can't have the same high opinion of him as you do.

I call it cheating. Robbie Farah going down with a cramp in the dying moments after his long touch-finder and jog to the scrum so his teammates could suck 'em in and hopefuly put in a good set in defence. Of course it's smart to get away with whatever the rules allow, my beef is with the rulemakers. If it's to the disadvantage of the team in possession, the player has to go off until the ball next goes dead, i.e. the end of the set.

Seeing = look away or change the channel.
Reading = don't read it
Hearing = press the mute button or change the channel.

I'm not keen on Farah or the Tigers, but you could see Farah was struggling in the heat. He had a few knocks also which needed attention from the trainer.

Meh, it's cramp hardly the crime of the century even if he were faking it. Half the players out there had cramp at about 60th minute or whenever it was.

Cramp is hardly life threatening, as said play on and if they want to lay there they can do so for as long as they like, it only disadvantages their own team.

Stick to VFL.

I agree with most of the sentiments in this thread, and I'm a tigers fan.

If marshall does one noteworthy thing in a game, he'll be in the headline the next day. But it's really just a sign of how shallow, cheap and shithouse our sports media coverage is. Surely no one in the world actually reads his SMH column??

On the other hand, you can't really complain about having a clean-cut (relatively), well spoken (relatively) and entertaining face for the game. As someone said, its good for sponsors, good for kids and generally good for the broader game... it's just bad for all of us real supporters who actually read the paper and watch the news and have to hear his name every 12 seconds.

I'm not anti-Farah or the Tigers (even though he's been a dud at Origiin level and had an armchair ride into the national team thanks to his club coach), I'm indifferent to him and I like the way Wests throw it around.

My point is about the rules.

If you can't see what he was up to, it's you that needs help.

I see you have neglected the fact there would have been at least 10 players suffer from cramp in the 10-15 minutes previous to Farrah's "cramp".

He had cramp you farkwit.

I do not have a medical degree or years of experience as a doctor, & I am sure a GP or even sports science specialist could not say he did or didn't have cramp.

Let it go sweetie & take a deep breath. I understand you're pissed off at your sides Rnd 1 effort, but really, that upset you need to whinge about a player who had a cramp?

:lol::lol::lol:

I can't stand farrah, he's a hypocritical whinger. But to claim he was faking is stooooopid in the extreme.

:? Half the players had cramp by the end of the game, really who gives a shit if he did or didn't. Teams stand around in the scrum or kick it dead for the same reason, to get a breather.

Don't Union play on when a player is down, and it just gets ugly sometimes?

Jeez Tigers fans are tetchy today though.

Benji all over the press.

This is why I love reading Rebecca Wilson articles. This is also why I liked Carney more at Canberra, why I was a big SBW and Mason fan, and plan to produce a 6 part mini series on the life of John Elias.

With the proceeds, I want to launch a big $ bid to get Ben Cousins to Parra.

League will be much better off............

Marshall kicked a field goal and they call it a masterful performance? So f**king what? Soward kicked a field goal to win us the game where is that headline article pasted everywhere? Where is his parade and media jerk fest. He is seriously the most over-used merkin in the face of the NRL and how that grub can be the face of rugby league over many other note-worthy players is beyond me.

How is Marshall a grub?
