Farah on the way to Parra?
Wests Tigers skipper Robbie Farah is weighing up an offer to link with his NSW coach Ricky Stuart at the Parramatta Eels s the dramas escalate at the joint-venture club.
The news came as The Sun-Herald was told the Tigers could soon be forced to name coach Tim Sheens as their director of coaching instead of sacking him because they can’t afford the $1.2 million required to terminate his contract.
The suggestion Farah would join Stuart at Parramatta was mentioned when Stuart signed on to rebuild the Eels in July. It has gathered momentum during the week after the club cut three of its most popular players – Chris Heighington, Beau Ryan and Blake Ayshford
Observers at the recent Brad Fittler Medal presentation, which acknowledged Farah as the NSW team’s best player this year, noted Stuart spent a large proportion of the evening engaged in deep conversation with the star No.9.
Parramatta’s interest in signing Farah is common knowledge among Wests Tigers players, one of whom said Stuart wanted Farah because he was the type of player needed to add steel to this season’s wooden-spooners. The player, who asked not to be named, added it would be ”shambolic” if the Tigers lost their inspirational skipper.
”The Eels are going really hard to sign Robbie but I can’t say what he’s thinking because I don’t know,” said the player.
do The wests tigers do know they can’t run out with 4 players on the fied
F*** up with these rumours for gods sake this telecrap goes around on supporters forums and gets all their rumours from there, bloody bullshit.
Dude apparently that was printed in the Sydney morning herald 23/9/12.
Its a fairly strong rumor.
how do you manage to bring the panthers into this? get over yourself
I hope you fall over break your hand and never see a keyboard in you life anyone feel free to amen.
@Panthers Girl. This is another artical that has got nothing to do with Penrith. It is about Robbie Farrah, Wests Tigers and Parramatta. No one even mentioned Penrith either, so why are you even talking about Penrith here? What is wrong with you? and you think that Gould and Cleary are fixing your club, you certainally do have learning difficulties. Penrith will not make the 8 next year, which will mean another year of failure. lol
What is wrong with you? You say that this article has nothing to do with Penrith and that no one had mentioned and that Panthers be talking about Penrith which are all fair points. But then you just rip in to Penrith for no reason. You are an ignorant hypocrite.

i think that morgan and blair will be swapped around. Also im positive that paulo is gonna be in the starting side. Stuart for sure will be trialling hayne at 5/8, ben roberts got some really good footwork but he has too many errors in his game that needs to dissapear.
yeah i agree mate
this has been thrown around since mid to end of the season, looks like it might come to be…… does that mean that the tigers will sign falou, thurston, or jennings. i cant think of anymore huge money players. there has to be a reason that you would let your best players go. if farah goes the tigers are in a hell of alot of trouble.
Just because you dont want him to go does not mean he won’t it was mentioned today that panthers will pay him out half if tigers take him.
So Stuart doesnt want Farah in Origin but will take him at club level? Please excuse me while I lmao
Good luck to him if he wants to leave. He will be missed, but will pave way for the next future star at West, on about 1/4 of the money.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, and whilst Stuart may be his best mate today, history has shown that Stuart usually ruins this around mid season!
what the tigers need to do is try and persuade more younger players to go to the tigers, a few off the top of me head are
Josh Renyolds
David mead
akuila Uate
Aiden Tolman
Daniel Mortimer
Just to name a few. anyone agree?
David Mead will be staying at the titans hopefully forever
Its basically a done deal, Eels have the best offer on the table and he wants out of the farce that is the tigers.
Farrah will be an Eel in 2013.
you keep saying that but the panthers will struggle with crowds , seeing as though two codes have launched in the area . Fact is you recruited a second NSW cup team and will struggle to pose an threat against teams with 1st grade players, things will only get worse from there.
sheenzy will come coach the warriors, benji will follow and tigars will be wooden spooners next season end of story….lol
R u a dumb c*** joe. Dogs have not won the premiership yet. Better tell the coach to keep sucking the refs ****, U might actually win it.Farah was playing heaps good, all the way up until he got injured in that game the dogs cheated in. Way better than Ennis. Ennis wnt even be considered for next yrs origin champ. Keep ur thoughts in bankstwn ! Yallah .. Dumb ****
Joe You are a wanker Robbie’s Mother has nothing to do with this..
I agree that Robbie is hot and cold. But the Eels need someone with his leadership abilities. He will fit in nice there.
And for once I agree with Panthers Girl, his mothers death has nothing to do with this. It does not even need to be mentioned. Show some respect.
PS: Phil Gould is a muppett ;p
It just gets even better for tigers.
It just gets even better for the tigers
Gus Gould is a fool
Trouble
You Took the bait again
Fool Gould is destroying the panthers.
Stop sidetrackiing conversation you stupid muppet.
*Sidetracking*
well if they go Farah that means that Jenko aint going there now
Farah would be a better choice anyway. The last thing the eels need is michael Jennings
If farrah leaves the tigers the will not be tigers any more
Does Robbie Farah own the rights to the West Tigers name and logo?
Hey Joe & Panthers Girl this is a story about Robbie Farah not a days of lives soapie staring you two. Get over it the both of you and grow up please. Banter is fun but you can go to far ok. Save your fingers for when you want to hang crap on the still trophyless Gummy fans.
Don’t worry panthers girl history it’s just there culture they don’t respect women so they resort straight to violence or abuse
Joe i bet u eat dick
Back to bankstwn joe yallah kuz. U can beat ur gf/cousin wen u get home . Fully sick .
Lmao typical lebs haha
You two need to carm down.
@ knights i agree mate i think the term your looking for is chutney ferrit
Hahahaha your a Leb for sure
He must go for the bulldogs all lebs do
Careful Sharks 2013.
I’m a Leb and am a HUGE Sharkies fan.
Let’s keep on topic (ie footy)!
If Farah was smart he would go regardless. The club is in crisis and can only see it getting worse till they sort out there coach for next year.
@Panthers Girls. It truly is amazing how an article about Farah and Eels has anything to do with Panthers. You parade around that Panthers are a team of Gods. Your club was in crisis and is lucky to just be outta it. Why don’t you just wait till the next article about a Panthers player comes up so you can rave on about how good your club is cause all you Panthers supporters need to seriously pull your head in. Your team will be lucky to make the 8 next year.
But as for Eels, is they get Farah this will be the start of Stuarts SOO team at the Eels which is why the board members went after him. Good luck to Farah in making his decision
Starting to improve on what, you finished second last. Lost key players and recruited half of Knights NSW Cup team. Your team in average and will be for years to come. You will lose Jennings soon and once he has gone what will you and your pathetic supporters do.
Future reference. If the article has nothing to do with your shit team, then don’t talk about them cause no one cares and we are just waiting to rub it into you and the rest of these Panthers supporters on here when your team doesn’t make the 8 next year.
Don’t worry i’ll be watching
Knoghts should throw the chequebook at him. Yes they have Bennett but Tinkler just thinks because of his record its a guaranteed title. Wrong Broncosvand Dragons had a star studded lineup. Knights marquee player Uate is shit in defence. They have an average side getting Farah will tKe them one step closer.
Farah going to the Eels will be a backwards step but hes one of the few players who wont get wasted at the Eels im just saying he whould go to a club that can win a title. Stuart can only get them out of wooden spoon territory(bottom 3) he should go to Knights etc.
If Stuart wants to make Eels(worst team in the comp) a competitive team he needs to improve their roster starting with the hooker. That means he should target Farah but it would be dumb for him to go to that shithole
Get a life loser.
I have never heard so much verbal diarrhoea in my life.
You sir are one inbred hill billy hick who should do everyone a favour and just F$%K OFF!
And while you are at it learn to type properly MORON!
Get it into your head. You Eels fans are in so much denial. You think you have good youth coming through when your NYC team is in the bottom 4 of the ladder and NSW Cup team is on the verge of collapse.
EELS SUCK and everyone knows it. You think Stuart is going to fix you hahahaha just like Sandow and Tonga would get you into the top 8????
Its your squad if you really want to improve you need to do a major cleanout.
Farrah would be a great start to rebuilding, then sign a top halfback if possible and see how Hayne goes at 5/8 and get a top fullback or sign a top 5/8 if possible. If I was a coach the first thing I would want is to have a top pair of halves and hooker to build a team around. Everything comes from the halves and hooker. Farrah and Smith are the best hookers in the game.
Hi Zero Tackle.Is there a way you could ban joe or anyone else who completely side tracks the whole conversation in a bad way.Anyway back on subject Tigers can’t sign any big names, They are not clearing for any, They have barely any room to work with in the cap because of players like blair, etc.And yeah tigers fans stick strong!I remember how the DT were constantly riding us like we were a mindless mechanical bull.But eventually that died down.Stay loyal tigers fans.It will only get darker before it gets brighter.
He said ban you cause you went off topic
Read the end of my comment.
Joe i’m shaking in my boots buddy. Panthers Girl read my post again i understand what you’re saying but please this is about footy not the Days of our lives. Learn a simple lesson in keyboard banter if you don’t like what’s being said forget about it and move onto the next comment that interests you. Yep Joe sounds like the complete tool so really is he worth the space you give him in your posts. I’m starting to sound like a therapist that’ll be $150 thanks
Hey Panthers Territory well said mate. Every team will go through it at some stage but the way the Tigers handled the Moltzen saga and now the developments in the last 2 weeks has been some what pathetic. Maybe the Tigers want to start bringing through more juniors if that’s so then i can understand (a little) what they are doing
When haven’t i showed respect to you???? Remember i told you that a week or two a go about JT. Maybe Jennings to the Dragons also
F me there are some real tossers in this country and whoever pretends to be someone else then you’re one of them. Get a life you idiot
The tigers are falling apart by the minute, would be a good signing for parra which they defiently need.
same lol.
How am i joining this arguement, i’m just writing my opinion about the topic jeez.
You shut up, why dont you just ignore people opinions for christ sake you make us panthers fans feel bad.
I can’t believe all the shit some people go on with on this
site! It’s about footy isn’t it? As for Jo go back to we’re
you come from you GRUB.
@ Panthers Girl
That was not me he is using my name now
He needs to get a life!
He did and I agree with you.
Don’t know how he can use other people’s
Names?
Time to give this site a miss cos of freaks
Like Jo.
You really need to go out more, you have some serious issues.
Yeah I do get out mate and the only one here with issues is you mate
Dude i wasn’t writing that at you, it was at joes missus which his post end up getting deleted, i have nothing against you.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THATS IT IVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE TIGERS EVER SINCE GIBBS AND FIFITA WENT ITS BEEN GOING DOWN HILL I BLAME ADAM BLAIR, SHEENS, THE BOARD THEY HAVE CAUSED SO MUCH SHIT ITS NOT FUNNY AND IF FARAH GOES THEN PARRA U MIGHT AS WELL GIVE US THE SPOON AND IF SHEENS WENT BENJI WOULD GO TO IF HE WANTED TO. I MIGHT AS WELL FOLLOW THE WESTS TIGERS U/20 TEAM THEN THNX FOR MAKING THE SHIT MORE SHIT
pffffft is all i have to say to this!!!!! Although the Tigers are ship sinking very, very quickly.
panthers girl i want to marry you i love footy loving gals
LMFAO, will the tigers have a team..?
LMFAO, will the tigers be able field a team..?
Oh Bugger! After the rumours about Heighno and Ryno ending up being true, it makes me nervous to hear this.
After all that’s happened recently, who’s to say Robbie doesn’t like the clubs direction. But being a local junior, one-club-man and club captain, i’d fancy he’d have to have a bloody good reason to leave.
I just hope he doesn’t find it.
Bloody admin! I seem to recall someone commenting on this site a few days ago regarding Tigs salary cap issues, and how the cleanout was perhaps in anticipation of an audit. I bet the admin are on a tidy sum… And to do what? Wreck the bloody joint!
Whoever’s idea it was to fork out a half million a year for Blair needs their bloody head read…those types of figures are reserved for marquee players.
He might be the nicest bloke you could meet, but he didn’t add to anything that Gibbs or Fifita had to offer and he sure as hell isn’t a marquee player.
Wests Tigers admin needs to be shuffled and dealt with.
I think that Farah might join Parra but just like with the Jennings and Folau topic, I don’t know how Parra will be able to handle their salary cap. Also, if Farah does leave, Tigers are stuffed and will not make the Top 8. Unlikely, but if all of this does happen along with Ryan, Heighington etc. and with a few injuries along the way, Tigers will come close to a Spoon.
sickening to watch my team ripped apart,
clearly sheens has to go,lost count how many players we lost,won’t be able to recognize my team next year.farah goes,i
will seriously consider a new team for2013
@tiger uppercut come support the tiger sharks bro we have half of your team anyway. It will get better bro I remember when Chris Anderson dismantled the sharks doing stuff like putting Preston Campbell on the bench just after he won the dalley m take a deep breath and hang on
….
wow reading this thread now is quite hard.
Both Joes and Panthers girls entry’s have been deleted so it looks like you guys are randomly attacking each other.
Good time
PS: Phil Gould is a muppett
I think after watching 26 rounds of the tigers poor performances we can all say the team didn’t work.. I’m just excited to be a fan and see a massive shake up.. Farrah should take the deal.. IMO he is a good player but there is plenty of other younger players looking to fill the boots of the idols of there generation.. Who was Adam Reynolds before this year and look what he has added to the game.. No more big $$$ players that don’t perform that’s all that is important.. Bring on 2013
come follow souths tiger uppercut and bring brandon with you we will never merge, never say die.
redfern rabbit
when i watched canterbury bankstown they were called the berries in the 1950′s whats with the name change the bulldogs? makes no sense at all? please explain?for me its a lost traditional name change like stmerge and weststigers.
he does that there ova the cap 4sure
eels have 17 players off contract i think they might be able to afford robbie
wow! if we lose robbie. were definately gone. every time he didnt play we lost. key player
i hate how everyone has been talking shit about chris sandow and how he was a dud buy. all the dumb arses who think they know everything but actually know little to nothing about the actual game don’t realise if your forwards aren’t getting the metres and quick play the balls, the backs have no time. if the eels sign some good metre eating forwards who can get them downfield, sandow will blossom like he did at souths last year. tho other thing they need is a decent five-eight which could be hayne if stuart pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
Whos this Joe LoL
Farah should maybe consider another club
DON’T DO IT FARAH, TIGERS FOR LIFE MATE!!!
