Former Wests Tigers star Robbie Farah will appear on Channel Ten's latest season of Australian Survivor, taking place in Malaysia.
There is a twist in the latest season, with Farah being matched against a rival player in a separate tribe to see whose athletic ability can come out on top.
Farah will face off against former Wallaby Adam Ashley-Cooper, who represented his country at Test level an astonishing 121 times during his career from 2005 until 2021.
They will go head-to-head in a rivalry to see which code has the greater skills and physical attributes for survival endurance.
It is the first time the franchise has used the rival format, with 24 contestants split into two opposing tribes fighting it out for a grand prize of $500,000.
Farah has played over 300 NRL games during his illustrious Tigers career, with a short 12-month stint at South Sydney before returning to the joint venture and calling retirement in 2019.
The crafty dummy half has also represented the NSW Blues on 16 occasions in State of Origin, while donning the green and gold for Australia eight times.
Farah also played seven games for Lebanon and captained the Middle Eastern country in the 2017 World Cup, and will return in this year's international tournament as assistant coach for the Cedars in their campaign.
Former AFL players Heath Shaw and Adam Cooney will mirror Farah and Ashley-Cooper's rivalry, reinvigorating the hatred between Collingwood and Essendon for the big screen.
Known for his excellent service and deception out of dummy half, Farah will have to tap into his old skill set to be in the fight for the prize money on offer.
The 42-year-old shared an iconic pairing with Benji Marshall for the bulk of their careers, taking the field together across 13 seasons and claiming the NRL premiership in 2005 with the Tigers.
Other athletes in the program include Olympians Kerri Pottharst (Summer Olympics) and Danielle Scott (Winter Olympics), while also including netball star Sharni Layton and Aussie footballer Sarah Yatim.
The popular TV program will air on Ten in early 2027.
