Tumbi..I don't think Farrah and Benji and the same team will ever happen again. Think the myrtle / green might be the go for him.

Swap with some extra cash Rein for Farrah
Never thought I'd be saying this, but id preffer Rein anyday over Farah. There's a reason why Farah is being let go. We will ever know the truth, maybe not. To me, his ego is problem.
In general, scumbag of the highest order.
I think it has less or nothing to do with his character and everything to do with the 1mil the Tigers owe him for the next 2 years. He is a very good player (though I have heard like everyone else stories about his poor character), in my opinion the best hooker in the game for some years, but not worth anywhere near that % of the salary cap.
Firstly allow me to dispel a few myths. I don't rate Bird especially. That is true. Would have been good to have in the squad as a utility but not a great loss in my very humble opinion. Hutchinson based on a mere game and 1/3 isn't going to be the player Dragons supporters hope he will be. I hope I'm wrong. Aitken is a good player but not in the league of a Gasnier or Cooper as we hoped he would be and as the current team needs.
As for Dufty one part of it is wishful thinking but also based on the law of averages. It's inconceivable that the Dragons haven't produced a superstar 3/4 in so long. Secondly he is certainly a very fast and elusive ball runner and not a bad ball player. Crook comes across as a sneaky, scheming halfback. Not slow, not small (for his position) and very skillful.
Issac Thompson is a guy I think the coaching staff also have high hopes in. What's not to like? If he were the make first grade next week even though he would be the youngest, he'd be far from the smallest (actually one of the biggest). Gas and Cooper were two centres thrown into first grade on the wing at a very young age. How did it work out for them? Why should it be different for Thompson? At least I hope that is the case.
It seems to me, for some inconceivable reason, a lot of Dragons supporters are still following the playbook of supercoach Price.
Farah wields too much power at Tigers, hence why he's being moved on. Can't expect a coach to come in and rebuild when he's constantly being road-blocked by his captain.
Dufty is a fullback, so not sure what the comments about the 3/4 are about. He has a very slight frame so there's going to be question marks all over him on that alone. If he gets over that he has the talent to make it as a fullback (not winger).
How is his NYC form? I haven't watched many games this year but he just looks like another player out there. Aitken was playing much better last year and apparently he's only ok.
If you think Farah has been anywhere near the best hooker in the game for some years you are on some extremely potent drugs.
Yes I do and no I'm not. It's always hard for individuals to stand out in a struggling team. IMO Hayne was also the best FB in the competition for a number of years.
He had a great relationship with Benji so I am sure he will jump at the chance to join the Dragons. NOT
He is going to Souths. Heard it this morning on Triple M. Swap for Issac Luke. He has a relo who works oat Souths. This info came from the reporter of the SMH Masoud or whatever his name is.
Luke has signed with Warriors
Cameron Smith, Isaac Luke, Michael Ennis, Jake Friend - all have been better than Farah over last few years and there's a few others in way better form than him this year.
Farah definitely not at his best this season, Segayaro, Hodgson, Granville, McCullough may also be considered to have had a better season
