    Totally agree mate. Verbal's a good fella & he was making a joke if you read it in context. But there is the danger of someone just coming on here randomly & reading it in isolation so they then believe it.

    3) Spouse, Member of public, playing group, coach
    4) Code of Conduct breach, Experimental drugs, personal issues, bizarre contract clause


    Unprecedented ARREST of CAPTAIN involving COACH due to EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS & INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING

    I'd say this is D. Boyd & Bennett because Boyd has always followed Bennett from club to club & no one even knows how Boyd is playing first grade

    Boyd is really one of those players everyone seems to love to hate. Sure he's had some troubles in the past and he's not the best fullback in the comp but surely there are a number of teams who would take him as their #1 in a heartbeat.

    Titans, Tigers (before Mbye), Cowboys (over Coote), Bulldogs... and Sharks probably need another fullback on their books to complete the set.

    Yeah I think Boyd gets a bit of unfair criticism. I think it stems back to when he use to give those 1 word answers when he was being interviewed because he came across as arrogant, rude & stuck up so people didn't like him.

    I felt so sorry for him after reading about how he struggled through childhood with both parents effectively abandonning him.
    And then people are up in arms that he's told Kev he doesn't want to spend time in origin camp and would rather holiday in NZ with his wife and little girl.

    We know he's got his issues, he's done some stupid shit and there's no excuse for the way he's acted at times but he seems to be making a genuine effort to be a better person even though he has some things in his head to deal with.

    And we can't deny he's been an elite footballer for years. He's played two dozen games for QLD and Australia, won a Grand Final with two clubs and a CC Medal with one of them.
    Very, very few players will end a career with that.

    So just bringing the talk back around to Farah.

    I am trading him in next week if Martin isn't named. Even if Martin gets named in Rd 17 they would play the same amount of games.

    My only concern is Farah not getting the 80 minutes with Brooks, Benji, Reynolds all in the mix.

    Does he have the match fitness to go the 80 ? He's been running around with the bears but it's still a step up.

    For most players, you'd be grateful that they have an extra week to be back 100% for Rd 16.

    For Dugan however, it's just an extra week to re-injure himself doing some dumb shit like falling off a ladder drunk.

    Kenny Edwards scored two tries in the last 20 mins for the Catalan Dragons this morning in their win over Leeds.

    Just a lil bit of info

    Got a few pages to catch up with but I'd only consider Farah if you have plenty of trades.
    Tigers need to get someone like Liddle up to first grade standard. That's part of the reason Robbie has gone home, to help this. Liddle won't be bought up to first grade standard by not robbing Robbies game time.
    I don't have the trades to even think about bringing him in. I have Fonua to deal with and have a strategy to bring Cook in for Isaako. Good luck to all those that pick up Robbie.
