Robbie Farah

[I Bleed Maroon]

About 2 years overdue. Should have hung up the boots when his career had fallen so far he was left sitting on the scoreboard with a tinnie

 

[leaguelegend21]

Legend of the game and one of the best hookers of all time. Been a pleasure to watch, thanks for the memories Robbie!

 

[Tiger5150]

Seems to be a complex bloke and has had a somewhat complicated career as a result. Clearly puts some people offside. I can see an argument that he can overplay his hand often but there is no way anyone could ever question his effort and intensity.

Was instrumental in the 05 premiership and has been a great player for the Tigers. Im glad he has been able to end it with us.

 

[Travitoh]

If he was a Queenslander his career would be celebrated amongst the modern day greats.
State of Origin and Australian rep. Premiership winner. Club captain.
Could've easily chucked it in when Taylor sent him to reserve grade. Was an absolute professional at Souths after falling out of favour behind Damien Cook.
Got his dream move back to Wests and has played better footy at 9 than a majority in the comp, including top 8 sides.
Could've finished his career as just another 200 gamer but will retire with more than 300 to his name.
Robbie Farah should be celebrated.

Retires with over 300 premiership games, a premiership ring, NSW and Australian jerseys, captain of his club and state whilst being arguably the best joint venture tiger

Congrats on a career full of achievement.

 

[Captain Apollo]

His image was tarnished a bit by the goings on at the Tigers after 2005 and the end of 2016. It very much came across that he and Benji Marshall were running the club with coaches and players chopped ad nauseum because of them. Add in that at times Farah, for all his skill, could do some very selfish things on the field (e.g. running himself and dieing with the ball when his halfback or five eight were calling for it).

Talented player who, whilst respected, could have been a real great.

 

[gordsy]

Top player that could have been great had he not thought the club was about him. The way he knifed Mick Potter showed what a scumbag he could be, that and using his position in the club to keep that cat Moltzen in our team.

 

[Someguy]

I will always remember him for his origin game where he made 60 odd tackles and imo was motm despite Greg bird getting the nod. One of the great origin performances. In some ways a more dynamic player than cam smith with a work rate comparable to any other highly rate hooker in the game. Some question marks about his attitude as a team player but really most of it is speculation. Should be celebrated as one of the greatest players of modern times

 

[AlwaysGreen]

A tough mongrel who put his body and nose on the line without hesitation in the physically damaging atmosphere of the NRL every week.

Can't ask much more than that.

On the field he could do it all and an all time great Tiger for sure.

Off the field he was an example of the shambles of the Wests Tigers and seemed to have a chip on his shoulder the entire time.

Hopefully he finds peace and something good in retirement.

He's probably wrapped up his career well. Played some decent footy since being back at the Tigers. Probably brings some closure to his acrimonious departure.

Moltzen was Benji's mate.

Are there any more Leichhardt games this year? Anyone else keen for some scoreboard beers?

Last game of the reg season.
Robbie will be seen up there after he throws an intercept in the 79th min to lose Tigers a finals spot

Moltzen was Benji's mate.

You reckon Robbie said no to him being in the team over others ?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

An extremely unlikable person, but a decent player.

I'll never forget his arrogance, and the audacious one handed scoops out of dummy half like he was playing touch. Every time he did that I'd think "what a wanker".

He also once said he would take Cameron Smith's Kangaroo jersey. He never did.

Who could ever forget his performance on the Matty Johns show after we toweled up the Tigers in 2012 by running right through the centre of their defense. Matty asked him why the Tigers have been so soft lately and he had a massive whinge saying we didn't make ourselves premiership favourites, you guys did. Then like a true millennial wanker went straight on twitter to cry and ask the public for sympathy.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Good player though. Skillful.
