Tigers/Farah

[Guest]

The Tigers are looking for a hooker for beyond 2013 at least. They tried snaring our SG Ball and Australian Schoolboys hooker. They told him they have an option besides Farrah for next year if needed and would look at him for 2014 and beyond. Farrah wants to go to Parra and be captain and be coached by Sticky. They also have money spare to afford him. Benji to Warriors with Sheens is on the cards.

Impressive first post. This is on the money from what I have heard

Every one has forgotten about another youngster who I think has been out injured most of the season who I and plenty of others rate...Brandon Tago ...a very good player

Yes he would. Great attacking weapon. Worse case we stick him on the wing. A back three of RTS, Oldfield/Mini and Gardner would be close to the best in the comp.

why the fark would we want Gardner on the wing when we have BJ, Tupou,Henry,Rokalati,Forrester,Oldfield,Tairipo,et c.why the fark do we want Mini in the side?

BJ isn't a winger. He can't jump and is too slow. Mini will get selected somewhere next year regardless of what we want. Tupou and Henry have proven nothing. Rokolati, Forrester, Taripo - who cares. Gardner is a proven first grade player who can tear open a teams defence.

Oldfield, Targive, tupou, RTS, Mini, BJ, Moga (in no particular order with some able to play multiple positions where you may see them a better fit obviously.) We've gone from having no real wingers to having some competition. NOT BAD CHAPS!!!

It's really not that far away. Give it 12-18 months and I think our back three can be competing with the best of them.

As with anything.. ur outside backs are only as good as the inside men feeding them the ball. It's useless comparing outside backs IMO. I think Melbourne have shown that if your "spine" is well and functioning, an ordinary backline can still achieve given they can catch and run

Exactly Ism,so why the fark would we want to waste money on a injury prone fullback when we already have one who wont retire.

Definately agree Brain, but Brandon is a year younger than Evans & Nappa and will still be elligible for NYC next year. That on top of a long absence this year means he is probably well behind the other 2 in terms of development towards a crack at 1sts.

Very good prospect though. He's going to be a very big boy when he grows up.

I think you rate a lot of our players far too highly. Like Friend.

Hello ladies and gents, I haven't posted on here for about 5 years or so, but have been reading for most of this season...

Anyhow, a bit of info came my way this weekend which is probably worth sharing (even though it's not really Rooster related).

Apparently, there's massive trouble at the Tigers, with Robbie Farah having fallen out big time with Tim Sheens. Doesn't ever want to play under him again apparently....

Benji is the other way, and doesn't want to play under anyone apart from Sheens, which has prompted Farah to come out with the old 'it's him or me' ultimatum. Not sure if he meant Marshall or Sheens, but either way, it's going to come to a head if Sheens is still there for the pre season.

What if the SB Williams deal fell through (here's hoping) and we suddenly had $800K to spend, Farah would be a very nice addition to the squad in my opinion. He'd certainly be a massive improvement on the tortoise we currently have playing in that position.

Source is from someone on the Tiger's staff, by the way. Apologies if it was covered in yesterdays paper - I don;t read it.

Pi$$ off, what a load of tripe

Farah is an accident prone has bean who cant fight his way out of twitter

Friend still has the benefit of next season for mine

Friend knockers can get stuffed!!

Thanks for those insightful comments mate, you obviously put a lot of thought into that.

Farah might have his faults but being a has been isn't one of them. Neither is the fact he can't fight, as I remember him making a bit of a bit of a mess of Anthony Watts a while ago.

In today's game, how important is it that a bloke can fight anyway? Billy Slater, Ben Barba, Benji Marshall, Cooper Cronk, Johnathan Thurston.....none of these blokes strike me as being a real handful in the fighting department, but it doesn't seem to handicap them too much........

I would like to know peoples thoughts on if in the hypothetical situation Friend is unavailable with injury for a month or two next season, who will share the hooking duties with Seluini?

The Brain. He's always looking for an excuse to bear his hairy greek arse.

Chook.

What if he's unavailable due to terminal crapness? That's a real possibility.

Nice! Will the Brain be missing Bwaiff's hairy greek ar$e? Now for opinions of the other hooking variety.
