Robbie Farah makes all the difference

[Bald Tiger]

What a difference it makes having Robbie Farah - a real dummy half and hooker - in the side. He was great against the Cowboys. Quick distribution, a good kicker when we needed to take the pressure off the Prince and a great bust up the middle to set up a try.

Yes he certainly is a breath of fresh air, that was a scintilating run that he made and the kid certainly has a great future and shows great composure as well.Then again we have a few of em in Halatau,Harrison,Heighington,Collis,Gibbs only to name a few.Hope we keep these guys for years to come.

I thought he was a but quiet.But he still showed glimpses of how good he can be.He looks like he has beefed up a bit.

And that break was a beauty.

At the play-the-ball he held up the pass until the players were just in-line with him on their run.....in the meantime attracting defenders away from the ball receiver.....that performance was a sign of good things to come - great work Robbie!

Robbie still wouldnt be at peak fitness.I thought he did great on Saturday night.Another couple of games and he'll be sweet.

Yeah i must give credit where its due......He's one player who once regains full fitness will start at hooker until dazza returns......he looked great at times.......im expecting him to cause a few probs this weekend against the dragons big men.

Mate if Farah gains his full fitness back within the next 2 weeks I think Dazza could be coming back from either the bench or through Balmain, Farah really is as good as people are saying he is going to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could be right, my guess though is the captain must be in the starting side somewhere though??? Where does he go???? Perhaps Farah can used as the super sub for this season?

Considering that Sattler has taken over the reigns and that by the time Senter is avaliable we should have at least Payten, Mears, Laffranchi and Benji back in the side.

I mean that with those 4 players back from injury that leaves alot of players fighting not just for a starting spot but for a bench spot as well and to be honest I could only really see Senter coming back via PL

I would love to see Dazza start and be interchanged with Farah because that would be a very good combination we would have and also it would add a whole new demension when the 2 are interchanged as they are 2 very different players.

 

[Tigerpete]

True........ Personally i would choose Farah ahead of Senter at hooker but at the same time there are great areguements as to why both should be starting hooker. I guess we'll just have to accept it either way it goes.

 

[holla4amarshall]

what about after round one everyone was saying senter is the king "senter for PM" now what he gets injured and cant make a starting side?
4 weeks so far has been a long time for injuries so i guess the players comming back will replace players getting injured if the strike rate keeps up
hopefully we have a good run we need it

:lol: I was thinking that too, holla. I reckon Dazza will no thave too much problem finding a place in the starting 17, if not at #9 ;-)

Id like this pack..................

8.Skando
9.Farah
10.Laffranchi
11.O'Neill
12.Senter
13.Sattler

14.Graham
15.Gibbs
16.Payten
17.Fitzy

....maybe one day

 

[851]

My ideal pack would be
8 Payten 14-Graham
9-Senter/Farah 15-Senter/Farah
10-Skando 16-Gibbs
11-Boof 17-Haletau/Fitzy
12-Buckets
13-Sattler [c]

That pack and bench has size and skill,plus the work horses.Maybe by round 12 :?:

My ideal pack would be
8 Payten
9Farah
10Skandy
11-Boof
12-Buckets
13-Sattler [c]

I cant wait to see this pack.This is a top 8 pack IMHO.Until we get these blokes on I think we are going to struggle in the dominate/go forward stakes.Boof,Skandy and Payten for metres,and Buckets and Satts to do the tackling work.Very tasty.
