Farah should have been the blues hooker from 2006 after he won the premiership with the Tigers and went within a point of winning the Dally M.
Farahs form in 2007 and 2008 was as good as any player I have seen. He should have been selected then and he would be well established in the side now (maybe even captain).
Burderus was a great player but NSW could have used Farah off the bench since the utility player usually plays mostly at hooker. That is what Queensland would have done in the same situation.
When Farah got his change he played ok in game 1. That ball to set up Hayne's run down the side-line (still don't think he went into touch) is a fantastic piece of skill and vision. Dare I say it Ennis could never make that play, he doesn't have the skills.
His game in game 2 was the worst I have ever seen him play. He should never have played busted and deserved to be dropped.
Ennis that replaced him had crap games 1 and 2 this year and should have been dropped for game 3. In game 3 Ennis did one kick for a try (only good thing he has done in origin) and gave away a penalty at a crucial time. NSW looked better the whole series when Ennis was on the sidelines. Unless Daley gets the coaching gig I am sure Ennis will be stamped never to play origin again.
Farah is still young enough to be there for the next 5 years. He is tough enough and in the moments that count he takes the right options. Our last 2 games against the Broncos and Titans, Farah has won us the game by making the play when it matters.
I am sure that the next coach and selection panel will not be crazy enough to overlook Farah again.
