Weakness for Next Year

Farrar is no superstar but he adds good utility value. Not everyone in your squad can be a rep class player. Farrar would be a great addition to cover injuries and suspension, as we have seen this year we have had a number of players missing for various parts of the season. Need the depth with Hoppa going.

Why does going overseas mean you aren't a good player ?

Astro Boy was safe.
He got us out of a lot of trouble as a fill-in, esp while Brett was indisposed. For a l'il bloke he played with a big heart!

He was pretty awful under the high ball when he started out but he showed massive improvement by the end of 09, thats gotta count for something. If a guy can learn & improve himself like that then it's always a good thing.
Personally I'd like to see Oldfield get a run at fullback sometime, if only for my own curiosity.

The other options are Blake Davey and Ben Shorter from the NSW Cup, not sure yet on Ben, but Blake is looking better and better each time I see him and looked good in fullback last week, so cover there too.

The idea of Farrar playing hooker is whats delusional - its a specialist position, would not handle the defensive load & is hot & cold with handing skills. If you suggested bringing Le Strange back for similar money off the bench i would support your claim. As stated Farrar WAS an average fill in who would be lucky to get a gig at most NRL sides.

Who for - Robertson, Matai, Lyon, Robbo, Snake ,Hoppa , DCE, Foz or is he a front rower now. Glad the Manly selectors have moved foward. Not gunna bag Farrar - always tried hard but we do have better, thats why we let him go & other nrl clubs wern't lining up for his services.codewana said:
One problem with many of the arguments against Farrar.Hoppa wont be there!!!.At the moment he is the key because he covers 3 positions and we probably have a false sense of security re depth.
Say Jamie goes down in R1 next year.Who plays centre? Whare is about the only option atm.Could not have oldfield or williams in a key defensive position IMO.Robbo and Wolf are a must on wing.Another outside back goes and we are in real strife.
I dont know about Davey,Shorter etc as havent seen them but on those I have seen then Farrar would be an asset at the right price.
