Should Newcastle make a play for Farah?

Not sure, they have some good young hookers.

With the Tigers playing most of his salary, Farah seems like good value.

But many clubs have good young hookers, they might be reluctant to drop them for Farah who may only have 1-2 years left.

So it is hard to see where he will end up, be may end up being signed mid-season when a club has an injury.

On this day he still has plenty to offer.

In lots of ways he is a good fit for the Tigers as a lot of their team is young, but again they want to give a young guy a run at hooker.

i wouldn't mind the bulldogs getting cornish for next season

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Cornish and tanginoa to the eels

Never should have let him go in the first place

Cornish is probably better than Luke Kelly so I'm fine with that

At club level I think he's shown he can be one of the most valuable players in the game, he's never been able to transfer that same kind of attacking dominance to rep level but there's been times where he's hands down been the best player in the game at club level. We saw a little of that last week.

I think a fresh start somewhere has the potential to do him the world of good and I think he's worth every penny of the 900k he's currently on if he can return to his peak especially with the games push for faster and faster rucks.

Would be a great pickup for the Knights IMO.

These will likely be the last 2 years of Slater's career.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Wobblie destabilises his own club where he's been all his career, won a premiership and is supposedly is a dyed-in-the-wool Tigers man. What would he do at a club he doesn't care about? Newcastle would be an awful fit. A run of bad results and Wobblie would be either begging to get out or just lie down and give up.

You also have to consider that the Tigers may end up picking up a large chunk of that so we may only cost his new club around 200K.

I'm a Dogs fan we already have 2 good hookers, but I would almost consider signing him as a 1/2 back or back rower.

The main complaint about him is he gets a bit moody and negative when the team loses, that can be a drag but it shows a competitive attitude.

Given a fresh start with a strong coach, he will probably be gratefully for the opportunity.

Yes, he may have been a problem at the Tigers, Willy Mason was also a problem at the Dogs, but that did not stop him making a contribution when he played elsewhere.

Having said that, Willy probably wasn't and idea role model for some of the young guys at the Roosters.

 

[POPEYE]

Willy has brought disaster to every club he played for . . . directly or indirectly

What were his dramas at the Cowboy's, Knights and Manly?

Serious question.

Serious question.

There were good reasons why the Knights moved him on, despite him wanting to stay. Probably wasn't at the Cowboys long enough, but I'll bet you they moved him on for similar reasons. The bloke hasn't changed, still loves to party. Can loosen the mood in a playing group, can also distract them.

I'll grant you that he's learned how to keep out of the limelight over the years.

I'm just glad he's not living with Jarrod Mullen anymore... although the damage is already done... Mullen is in very tight with the Masons now.

Sniff Sniff.

I wonder how many youngsters he's corrupted at Manly.

'Good signing' :lol:

No. Bad influence, as I said almost a year ago now.

If you ever watch training you will notice that its always the group around mason that starts stuffing around. Its good to have a character around Tue club but at the same time at training he needs to be leading by example.

Like you have the first clue what Mason is or isn't doing you dropkick.

If you think "sniff sniff" is the definition of being a bad influence then quite a few of your mob have been and are bad influences.

Hypocrite.

Wow, where'd you hear this?

Aren't Souths happy with him?

Do you reckon it's most likely BS?


Who would we sign to replace him?

Are we freeing money for Sam to come back?

Sorry mate for all the questions but I'd appreciate a reply. Cheers.
