Actually he's not eligible. He's collecting his handsome salary to sit on his bum.

Actually he is eligible however he is 'injured.' He can play nsw cup semis as long as the first grade team is still alive.

I'd rather Liddle getting experience in a better class anyway. I don't care what we're paying farah to do. The team is clearly better without him. Kinda like how penrith are paying grant and Taylor to play for us.

Plus my post was clearly sarcasm, I'm we aware Canberra have us covered in most departments.

If Moses marked up on Williams i'd be worried, but he is not, so i am not (worried).

Raiders by about 20

Well that works out good, hopefully the Raiders will be nice and pumped up to claim second spot and deliver us Titans our rightful place as also-rans in the finals.

How badly timed is this Robbie Farah stuff. A massive game at Leichhardt and say what you like about Robbie he is beloved by the fans. Just a real kick in the balls. Couldnt they have waited until next week or at any point that wasnt literally 12 hours before the game.

Who cares about Farah. He's a wank stain. I'm already shuddering at the thought of him sullying Adam Reynolds' golden aura at Souths next year.

haha Farah was pretty good against us in Round 8 to be honest. I mean we won by a million so he cant have been that good but he asked some good questions of us.

The same thing happened with Campo and Sticky a few years back. I mean obviously Campo was a broken down wreck and its more of a personality clash between Taylor and Farah.

Vic said something interesting in the cowboys/titans thread that Skeepe should hope that the Titans win because the Tigers are better playing for nothing than something.

I sorta feel like that about the Raiders lol.

The only real concern I have is the light week that Stuart gave the players. Not having Austin is nothing compared to the Tigers not having Tedesco.

Hahaa who knows both teams can be unpredictable. Now with both having much to play for I expect the raiders to win however the actual event will be amazing. Essentially this is a final, for us anyway. Can't wait for it! The scene couldn't be better set.

Seeing that side literally makes me shit bricks hahaha

You could argue we only have 4 players superior to theirs

Moses > Williams
Woods > Vaughan
Elijah Taylor > Soliola
Sue > any player on their bench

And Tedesco if fit > wighton

Tapine is better than Sue IMHO.

As a Tigers fan, do you feel any loyalty to Farah at all, or are you 100% business minded about the situation?

I know when Stuart & Clyde were forced out of the Raiders I was gutted, even though say McLinden & Ben Kennedy were better players at that point. But when Campo was farmed out I was relieved. I was a big fan of him as a player, but it was obvious that physically he wasn't up to it anymore.

Farah is a current Origin player, so it's a bigger shafting than the players I mentioned. It looks to me like Jason Taylor's recognized that Farah was politically powerful and probably got the last 2 coaches sacked (something Taylor was synonymous with back in his hey day), and decided to get in first and get rid of him. Game recognize game.

Huge. f**king. Game

We'll compete for about 60 mins then end up losing 30-16 or something

Canberra being the better team and battling for an important 2nd spot, can't see them taking it easy

Tigers knew all week if they win they make the finals, Titans were never going to beat the Cowboys.

Will be interesting to see if the tigers have any heart, playing for the finals should bring out their best performance yet.
