Haha okay whatever. Ennis can be the NSW number 9. Born for Origin!? Puhleease. He makes 10 less tackles every game than Farah and misses more. Farah makes more dominant tackles too. Farah is a better player by a country mile. Ennis is 1/1 because he played in the third game behind a team that won. Farah is 0/2 because he played behind a team that lost and the halves he was trying to serve sucked. If you can't see that, you're blind.

As far as that being the reason he is considered, my question was why he was considered in the first place. His stats are poorer than almost every other dummy half in the entire competition. He's just not very good. On his day he plays alright, like tonight, but he needs his team to play well to look good. Farah looks good when the Tigers lose, every single time.

But you can have your one dimensional, sh*t stirring, media suckup as a hooker. The myth will be uncovered this year when QLD win Origin with their fifth best halves combination.

You are a legend. No need to convince dumb f**ks.

As a neutral supporter, in respect of the Tigers and Bulldogs, I would select Robbie Farah in front of Michael Ennis anyday.

I would prefer Farah in my own side but on the big game day he does seem to succumb to injury or on the back of a big game loss end's up injured.

Maybe I am mistaken but tonights game was billed as a shootout between Farah and Ennis and it irks me to think Ennis has come out in front, because in my eyes he is half the player Farah is.

How many games does Ennis need to outplay Farah in in order to gain the respect of Tigers supporters who can't look outside of their own club.

Good luck to the Dogs. Great win. I don't follow the Tigers and I can honestly say I would prefer Farah if I had a choice, nothing against Ennis who is a gutsy wholehearted player, just my opinion.

:roll:

Farah-6 runs (53m), 1 tackle break, 30 tackles, 1 offload, 1 error, 4 missed tackles

Ennis- 16 tackles, 2 missed, 1m gained,

Plus Ennis only looks decent when his team is good, Farah shines every week.

Saying Ennis outplayed Farah tonight is like saying that Ben Hannant outplayed Beau Ryan. The dummy halves don't come into contact as often as say Blake Ayshford and Josh Morris did.

Here's a thought though, if Robbie Farah was playing for the Bulldogs tonight and Ennis for the Tigers, what do you think the score would have been.

I would fathom a guess at somewhere in the vicinity of 50-0.

This may sound silly, but I reckon that I could have almost done what Ennis did tonight. Passed the ball for 80 minutes, dived on two kicks and booted the ball downfield when there was nobody there. Oh that is difficult stuff. Did anybody see that pinpoint 40/20 Robbie kicked? What's harder, that or booting the ball randomly into the backfield in the last two minutes when the game is over and there is no pressure on?

Ennis for Origin!

f**k off Pennis and your sh*tty lawn mower dance celebrations!

f**kING LOL!
Thank god!
Someone else knew what it was!
I said "f**k yeah!, hes doing the lawn mower!" and got a few blank looks.

It is truly an all time sh*t f**ked dance move that has earnt its place along all the other sh*t f**ked dance moves, such as the sprinkler and that thing that was done by Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

I am also not supporting the man or the club, but the lawn mower needs to be made cool again.
Maybe if kids see the backstreet boys doing it on stage or some sh*t, whatever the f**k it is the kids listen to these days when they are not being geniuss.

Funny how you left out kicks in play, try assists and tries.

In response to the post above this, i can't see how players have to actually come into contact with each other to be compared. And no Ennis is a far more disciplined player than Farah and unlike Farah actually inspires his team mates.

Put simply, in the games that matter, Ennis always overcomes Farah.

Wow, who couldn't dive on a ball or catch and dive :roll:.
He made a try-assist after a bucketload of possesion, and the whole tigers team tired.
Kicks in play don't matter in stats. Farah had less, but you don't judge hookers on kicks in play.

 

[MacDougall]

Did you watch City vs. Country last year? Or Bulldogs vs. Tigers in Round 26 last year?

You're a meat muppet buddy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So does this mean the Tigers are another CLUB IN CRISIS!!!!!!!? :crazy:

It's the flavour of the month in the media.

And while I think Robbie Farah is a better player than Ennis, I don't think he's suited to Origin football. I'd pick Ennis for the Blues. Origin is all about loudmouth wankers who can stir the other team up. They should pick Willie Mason too.

I didn't really notice any of Ennis's kicks except for the boot into the backfield middle of nowhere. Who was it that made that pressure pinpoint 40/20 again?

Look, your team won. Congratulations, but Ennis isn't as good as Farah. If you disagree, you are wrong and need your head read.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Actually the best possible Blues number 9 is Luke Priddis. He was the best hooker in the world just 5 years ago.

 

[MacDougall]

You know what. I dead set agree. Luke Priddis should be playing Origin this year. He is genuinely tough, not faux talked up tough like Ennis and is a far better hooker. If everyone thinks Farah is too much of a pussy or whatever all your problems with him is, then yes Priddis is the man for the job.

Farah on the bench.

Sounds good. I'll even have De Gois over Ennis, even Jeff Robson. They all do what Ennis does, and Robson can tackle.

The bolded bit is not correct! Farah is 0 from 2 in Origin because in the second game he missed a straight forward tackle on Israel Folau when he scored AND passed the ball to Lockyer for another QLD try!

Wests Tigers supporters are a bunch of sooks! Stop blaming the Ref, blame your team for not being able to hold onto the ball!

What was that? 2 tries from Ennis tonight?:lol: NSW won the origin game Ennis played in last year? From what i recall Ennis didn't throw a ball to Darren Lockyer for a try and miss a straight forward tackle on Israel, that was Farah:lol: ALSO i recall the Bulldogs making the top 8 last year with Ennis as hooker... Farah is a good Tiger's player but nothing more or less. Ennis is built for Origin, Farah still thinks you can be creative in Origin the reality is, it's a different game then NRL... Hookers cannot be fancy, they just need to deliver good ball and be strong in Defence! Look at Smith for QLD, no thrills!
