Dugan/Widdop/Marshall/Farrah Spine??

[Vasilevsky]

Any idea when the club expects to see success from these programs? One thing that can't be denied is that we are not bringing though any juniors to be excited about, and the ones we do get excited about get signed by other clubs.

Hopefully along with the salary cap mess created by Bennett and supercoach Price (I know mostly by Price), the problem with the lack of good juniors coming through to play with the Dragons is also being addressed.

 

[Vasilevsky]

Sharks will be even stronger next year with the new halves combination, may well push for a top 4 finish barring injuries

Shonkies will resume usual service and be crap next year. They were average this year but got lucky in playing one man teams without that one man a few times.

where there is smoke, there is often fire.

reading between the lines, Farah is on big coin for the last 2 years of his contract and has an attitude problem to both training and accepting Taylor's authority as coach.

This scenario often arises when a young coach is appointed to a club. Taylor has to contend with Farah's influence at all levels of the club.

Farah is an excellent player, however one bad apple can ruin a basket full of apples.

Saints don't need internal drama. Farah = trouble for team harmony even at a heavily discounted price.

Prefer we stick by Rein/Havili and Garvey if they retain him.

Mary has done a great job in building team harmony, would be a shame to torpedo that harmony for a hooker that could not lift Wests/tigers from the bottom of the comp with several highly gifted team mates.

 

[thestevo888]

I agree. No one questions Farah's talent, but one of the problems with him at West Tigers seemed to be his desire to be chief playmaker. When he acted on this, he could be great - witness the game after the news about his future game out - and when he isn't - witness most of the rest of the year - he wasn't anything to write home about.

We already have two guys who want the mantle of chief playmaker in the team, and most would acknowledge it's one of our biggest issues in attack. Why the heck would we want another??

 

[watatank]

I think a bigger issue is that we are too predictable. Farah at 9 would actually make some difference to that

 

[BennyV]

Would also give us decent dummy half passes, an 80 minute hooker and direction from dummy half. Would take.

 

[Saints Forever]

Judging by the article OV posted, Wests Tigers intend to ride Farah until he leaves or accepts Taylors directives as coach.

Farah has been identified as a bad apple, rightly or wrongly.

He is clearly available as long as the clubs can agree on the numbers.

Better dummy half passer and better vision than Rein.

Not sure Mary is experienced enough to handle Farah.

 

[coast_dragons]

It would be oh so funny if they did sign him and he pulls the same bullshit antics and all the pro Farah people have a cry.

The best thing the Tigers could do is piss off the big headed wanker.

 

[nrlnrl]

If he leaves the West Tigers, he won't be coming to the Dragons. ( but some people in the media will still mention the Dragons as being 'favourites' to sign him etc )

 

[hardbaby]

I have no sympathy for Farah. Great talent but a c**k head of the highest order.

Do you know him personally?

You hope. I hope he comes. And brings Konrad Hurrell with him.

 

[Saints Forever]

Have to say I would like to see Hurrell at Saints, has the power running to make a break

 

[coast_dragons]

If all the crap that's happened at the Tigers isn't enough to warn anyone about Farah nothing will.

Hurrell should bugger off to Rugby its been said that many times now he is lazy.

How many times does a player have to be dropped to give you a sense of his attitude.

Oh Vaseline hard is entitled to his opinion if you don't like it stiff shit.

 

[Saints Forever]

Hurrell is not the sharpest tool in the box, given his dramas this year, but then again Duges was no rocket scientist either.

Given the fact the club has managed to help him get his career back on track, Hurrell could only benefit from a stint at Saints.

As for Vas, and Farah he is entitled to his opinion Coast.

Yes, I see Farah as a potential danger to team harmony.

However we should all respect one another's opinion. Doesn't mean we have to agree. That's what makes the forum enjoyable,diversity of opinion.

If Farah should turn up in the red V with a burning desire to prove to the world that he is still a top class hooker and he pulls his head in, he would be a massive asset.

 

[GC Dragon]

Listening to Dean Young saying we have 20 new players next year...Meaning in the first grade squad . I know we have 7 new players and the 5 juniors that has moved up . So there is going to be a few signings in the next few weeks and i am sure there will be some 3/4's in that. There might be some genuine competition for some centre / wing spots .

No question Farah wields too much power at the Tigers. Image being in his position and having some f**king homie like Jason Taylor come in and start barking orders at you? Right or wrong it would infuriate me.

At a new club with a coach who commands at least much more respect than Jason Taylor, I don't see it being a problem. I just hope the club acts soon. Sign him before Jason Taylor is sacked!

Souths signed Damien Cook and Tigers looking like getting Matt Ballin. Farrah to Souths looks like it ain't happening and Rein / Farrah swap also looks doubtful if they are getting Matt Ballin.

Only move I can see for Farrah is to Newcastle but I think he will dig his heels in.
