Get it done Gary.

We NEED a world-class hooker.

4-5 year deal.

Marquee player.

Make him captain.

All NRL clubs rosters are pretty full for next year, not much $$ kicking about spare.

Five years for a player who will be 32 when next season starts?

No thanks. Shouldn't be getting any more than 3, probably even only 2.

Re: Robbie Farah : Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:29 pm  

We'd be daft not to try and sign him IMO. Whether we will, I don't know. However, Wests are offering a big cash incentive to the club that signs him.

Well, i kind of agree as the kind of money Farah would command now he would not be worthy of at 34/35 (Although he may still be playing to a good level).2 years with an option of another year should be the deal if we were to go inReally can't see it happening but he would certainly fit the Marquee billing and our pack would look fearsome with his addition.

3-yr deal I think is a no brainer here, 1 year older than when Buderus signed but he didn't go too bad did he?

Could you expand on this?

Farah would be be a brilliant signing for us I think he would be more than a good enough replacement for Aiton

Come on Rhinos sign him up!!

Re: Robbie Farah : Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:58 pm  

Doubt we could afford him without using marquee . Might not go down well with the likes of Watkins, Hardaker etc.

Re: Robbie Farah : Wed Aug 26, 2015 5:20 pm  

I even be prepared to go for just 1 year. Then gives us time to think/organise long-term replacements and Farah, who might have limited offers in the NRL with it being so late in the year can still find himself getting a big money deal back in the NRL for 2017.

Also doesn't tie us up to a big money contract for too long with our batch of younger players expecting more money over the next few years.

IIRC Wests are offering £230k effectively as a contribution towards his salary for someone to take him off their hands.
