Robbie Farah selected for NSW

We all knew it would happen. But now it's official. And all this talk about the selectors picking both he and Ennis - load of sh*t.

With the slow old props he has beside him and the back row that practically consists of three locks, two of which aren't in the greatest form (not bad form either though) it looks as though Robbie will get a great chance to dominate the blues playmaking, moreso if Campese has an off-night, which he happens to have every now and then.

I reckon he'll make a pretty good combination with Gidley, who will run off Robbie's dummy half runs

Congrats to Robbie, well deserved

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Absolutely, no one deserves it more.

This will be what Qld will need to watch most of all. Gids loves to get in the middle when the forwards have a roll on and Farah is probably the quickest hooker in the comp.

So stoked for Farah. As most Tigers' fans and a reasonable amount of neutrals will attest, he's been worthy for a couple of years now. It would have been very, very tough if a few weeks of (arguably) superior football by Ennis dislodged Farah in the pecking order.

He's got a chance to secure the jersey for the next 5 or so years with a big series. Not only that, but if Bellamy is to be believed, the captaincy looms at some point in the future. I've got no doubt he'll seize the opportunity. One only has to look to his his first touch in first grade and his performance in the 05 grand final to see that nothing particularly fazes him.

Can't wait to see what he can do!

Well done Farah, well deserved.

He will be best on Park.
