ben farrar out for season?

[caspersparks]

i heard on the radio that he could be out for the rest of 2010.. anyone else hear this???

if true, will hopps HAS to come in... right?

 

[Nice Beaver]

I sure hope so. (Regarding Hoppa coming in, not Farrar getting injured). Would be great to have an actual fullback playing in the fullback position !!
Farrar has done an awesome job filling in though and would be bad luck for him if true.
Now that we've brushed that dead weight Bailey, surely Farrar becomes a priority signing as the bench utility player for next season and beyond?

Hoppa hasn't played for 3 weeks and then he didn't play the game or 2 before that sole game.

I was thinking, that wouldnt be so bad if it gave hoppa a chance, but not too keen if it means robertson will be moved to fullback.

Whare to the wing, Robbo to fullback. I thought we actually looked better with Robbo as fullback last night, but with no reserve back and Matai on the wing, our left edge was terrible. Matai/Whare will be a lethal combination IMO.

Didn't look good for him, should hear tomorrow I guess after scans today.

What sort of injury does Hopoate have?

 

[caspersparks]

heard on 2gb, farrar out: robbo to fullback, will hoppo to wing..

 

[Dutchy]

Whare got hurt in 20s, and Hoppa has barely played in 2 months. Register Dennis Sandow.

Des will probably play Bailey on the wing !

He seems to see something in that bloke that no-one else does....:crazy:

 

[nz eagle]

yeah he does, 250k a year - needs his money worth. Cant have him playing Queensland Cup on that kind of money.

I thouhgt he signed on for around $550k for 3 years??

Either way he's being paid MASSIVE overs. He's a $100k a year player at best.

Named in the side, but obviously the side was named prior to any scan results.

I'd still prefer Robbo at fullback. We need a solid and trusted performer going in to the 'business end' of the season. Whilst it may be seem paradoxical labelling Robbo as "trusted" regarding his ability as a fullback, it would be foolish to rely on a teenager with one first grade games experience.

1-2 weeks for Farrar according to Dazzler.

I mightn't bother watching. Robbo at fullback gave me nightmares last year.

This could get ugly.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

Des has some strange ideas. Not sure why Hoppa would play wing and our winger would play fullback. Hoppa should be shown faith and put in at fullback. Robbo needs to be the wingman for Matai. If Hoppa's not fit, then put Whare at Wing and Robbo to fullback.

I'm praying that the teams minds were on the next 3 games and forgot about the Knights. If we play like that in the next few weeks it could get very, very ugly.

 

[eagles4eva]

Great showing by Hoppa, solid and read the play well...

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

Yep. Great game by Hoppa Jnr.

Hopoate out? or T-rex dropped?
