I felt bad when I called you an imbo. I still feel bad, just this time for not coming up with something harsher.
We've had inept halves all year, including Moltzen who does nothing except run off other ball players (including Chris Heighington at one stage, which goes to show how little we have on our right side). Why would Farah doing nothing all game be different to Lui, Lazurus, Moltzen, Fitzhenry, Fulton et al doing nothing all game? He couldn't be any worse than those blokes who didn't do anything so... what else went wrong?
That was the only game all year where we haven't had direction and haven't looked likely in attack. Even the games we've lost through lack of a forward pack or poor game plan or whatever, we've still looked likely in good field position. None of that was instigated by the blokes I mentioned before, apart from the odd kick, so what changed?
If you still haven't got the picture, I'll go into a bit more detail. Our halfback doesn't have a standard role in our side, other than dishing the ball to Benji on the left. We've completely lacked a right side, and I challenge you to come up with any of our half backs this year who have done anything more than just pass left and throw in a kick. Moltzen played a bit of a fullback style role too, but was only effective once we were already doing well.
Farah passed left and kicked at a higher standard than any of the others... yet we still sucked much much harder than at any time this year.
He is CRUCIAL to our side, because of what he does out of dummy half. He is the absolute lynch pin, something that can not be said of the other two contenders. Obviously they are both key players, but if either side lost those blokes you wouldn't really change their odds of winning that week. With WT, we're virtually a write-off. He does more than the standard pass, kick, tackle and run when markers are caught that the other two do.
