Ben Farrar

[The Who]

Ben will be a much needed addition to our squad. I'm delighted he's returning (if true) because he can cover so many backline positions.

 

[Phantar]

It's true.

 

[WAMF]

It's true.

Photos or it never happened

I'll try my best!

But seriously, I've seen a report out of teh UK saying he is returning to Manly and word somewhere at this end as well.

 

[Masked Eagle]

Well he was better than Bani, but wing is the only position available next year and I don't really see him as a winger. I'm surprised he's come back knowing that he's no cert to be playing first grade in his favoured positions.

 

[Phantar]

He'll get his opportunities.

I can't find anything official from the club but I have found the following links that say that he is coming back next year:

Good to hear and would be at the right price too.

Expect Ben to improve further under Des and Crusher

 

[Ceagle]

He is definitely here next year. Just read his twitter page.

Following site if correct advises who is on or off contract and who has been signed.

Sorry Jethro, you beat me to posting the link.

i thought Farrer did a good job filling the very big boots of snake. I am happy to see him back in the team. im sure he has grown as a player in england.

 

[patorick2010]

Perfect utility back for the bench.

Can play fullback, wing, centre and at a pinch five-eight.

Very good player.

 

[conanu]

I rate him really highly i think he is a like for like replacement for Robbo. Not a Hoppa or Stewart style game breaker but a great solid player. He is continuing the tradition of solid safe as houses outside backs.

Craig Handcock, Michael Robertson now Ben Farrar (AGAIN)

 

[stoodamire]

Ben Farrar couldn't catch a cold let alone a bomb!

 

[WAMF]

Assuming we are at full strength in the backs and Wolfman is right to go, I would guess that Des would initially go with Astro Boy, just over Oldfield.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I don't mind Farrar, I think he has something to offer. He was one of our more consistent backs in 2010 I thought. Did have a couple of issues with bombs, but I think he was just ahead of his time, seems the flavour of the month these days to let them bounce.

Our recruitment team haven't let us down too often of late, so if they think he is worthwhile signing then I'm happy to go with that.

 

[Volley]

Yeah, I'm a Farrar fan. That tackle on Slater down there was a beauty. Great depth in the backline.

 

[The Eagle]

I hope Olds gets the first crack foyer his speed alone

 

[DSM5]

If Oldfield gets his defense under control, then he should get a gig for sure. And I think people have forgotten Wolfie. We look strong across the park.....again.
