Roosters shock suitors for Farah

[Burnt Rooster]

For starters you can forget SBW returning to the Roosters in a playing capacity, that wont happen, and Farah is indeed a bizarre twist, Robbo better think this right out, it may end up costing him his coaching gig, the move if it happens has the ability to derail the side, even at the risk of maybe picking him up cheaply.Farah should of looked to move to a stronger club before he signed his last contract, but the mega bucks won out, and now he is paying for that decision, at 31, he isn't a great pick up, he now misses a lot of games injured, and is not the nippy dummy half the game requires these days, if he is fair dinkum, a couple of years in the UK super league, would suit him down to the ground, good pension years, as they say, but definitely not a good fit for our side.

I can't believe there's 4 pages on this. What a ridiculous idea and a complete waste of money. We have a future origin player and co-captain at hooker and have signed arguably one of the most talented 20's players but are still rumoured to be signing Farrah, crazy

[Johnny Tobin]

Oh well.

TIT I suppose.

[Spirit of 66]

Potentially, our best signing since... Dale Shearer?

A mate of mine who knows Robbie says he has a lot of personal issues and often carries these issue to work. The players don't get on with him and he is very outspoken on all things football, hence his biff with Sheens, Potter and Taylor. If I were Robbo I would steer clear of Robbie and his baggage.

Please no.
This bloke can't be good for team culture with his horrible reputation.

[TheLoneRooster]

I'll add my voice to the NO chorus and loudly. Please let this be just a stupid rumour as I know I won't like the potential effects of including RF into a team that is covered in his position.

Unless of course the Roosters brains trust think they can turn RF into a fullback.

You are the biggest troll on this site wanker.

Doesnt sound like Horrie senior is too happy about the thought of his son playing fullback...and I have to agree with him.

We need Hastings in the halves. Ludicrous to even contemplate playing him at fullback.

I wouldn't say that mate, dunno why SBW, Nasser, Robbo, the Gynge and Uncle Nick would all sit down for dinner on Thursday night - more than a year before he would potentially play for us again - if there wasn't the chance he would line up in 2017.

[Andrew Walker]

I am just about always one who supports the club signing high quality Rugby League players such as Robbie Farah However on this occasion I see it creating more problems than solutions This reminds me of us signing John Simon when we already had Adrian Lam

[Burnt Rooster]

Oh, he will be with us , just not in a playing capacity.

[rwbfl]

Interesting. Surely we will have room for a marquee signing in 2017 then?

[OMR]

NO NO NO NO
Robbo will be looking for a new job before the season is out. Makes no sense. Disturbs the balance of the team. I'd rather we rush Mitchell to FB and give him two years to learn the trade before we sign Farah .
