I'm a big fan of clubs doing the right thing by players but in this instance we should not let Robbie Farah go.
If cookie were to have a season ending injury we would be stuffed.
I'm not sure Billy Britain is ready to play 80 mins of first grade per week.
Some have suggested Cam Murray..... that might work if they share the roll but I just think we are gambling with our season by releasing him.

He has the chance to be part of a premiership winning squad here this year.

As for the Tigers I think they might just fad out of the 8 with or without Robbie.

Only other alternative for Hooker I can see for Cookie who could replicate what he does is .......... and this is from left field( left left way left) .....Gagai!

Quick off the mark and illusive, strong but would he be
Defensively up to it? It's a different type of defence in the middle.

The main reason I’m not a fan of letting players go is they will also bring with them all our game plans, our secret little plays we haven’t unleashed yet, info on injuries players are nursing etc. But they could always pass that info on out of spite anyway I suppose.

No chance in hell would Gagai be able to handle the defensive workload at hooker.

He's averaging about 16 tackles per game, compared to Cook's 43.

Brittain averages 40 in NSW Cup and is a very similar style of player in attack to Cookie.

If there were any issues about him (or Doueihi) keeping up at this level at hooker, Clarky or Cam Murray could always play the first 20 minutes

George Burgess has an injury and is out of the Denver test.

Not sure what injury yet.

England have withdrawn him.

Selling off Farah is a risky proposition,Britain isn't NRL standard yet,The loss of Cookie with no suitable replacement is folly!

Correctamundo but apparently we are looking at a guy who used to be in our systems and a La Perouse junior and he'd love the chance to play for us. Yep Craig Garvey is being considered.

Sure he is :joy:

Which forum did you read that in Fletch?

Let me guess, you can't say because you don't want people looking into it themselves because that would expose the fact that you made it up?

I hope for your sake, given the child like spelling and the poor attempts at insults that you aren't an adult.

I literally just stated why his comment is bullshit.

Quit sulking because I won't take people's imaginary friends as reliable sources of information.

That you're still THIS upset at being called out on a lie months after the fact is making you look incredibly thin skinned and precious mate. It's not the behaviour of an adult male.

I have seen Garvey's name thrown up, not sure if it's a possibilty though.

Canberra have used halves as a bench hooker ahead of Garvey.
Not a terrible player but i would prefer to give Brittain the opportunity if it came to that and use the extra roster spot for either a prospect or someone who might strengthen us.
Clark played hooker as a junior i believe and Murray is capable of filling in if needed, as well as Reynolds having spent some time there in 2015.
Bring in a hooker shouldn't be a priority imo

Resorting to childish name calling and trying to attack my credibility because I called him out on his fairy tale and he can't form a logical argument against what I said.

Classic Fletch :joy:

Again, the lack of respect you show your supposed "friends" on here is disgusting.

Treating them like they're stupid enough to fall for a textbook ad hominem attack when you're trying to make them believe you.

What kind of person treats their friends like they're that stupid?

All this is a no brainer IMO,I'm far from being a Farah fan but if I'm Seibold he's going nowhere.
He has covered for Cook nicely both games and is on our books until the end of the season so why look elsewhere.
We are a big show of winning it this year so why on earth would we weaken our options going into the second half of the season?

Agree, it seems obvious doesn't it?

I've thought about it a fair bit actually and I tend to agree with you now Itsa. At first I thought we shouldn't stand in his way but gee, if we let him go and Cook was to get injured, it could be be an absoulute disaster.

Hold onto him now Souths.
