I am sick of farah crying about anything.When we play around with the mergepies he always whinges to the ref about our tackling,he throws his arms in the air and looks directly at the refI.I say man up farah and concentrate on your own game.and don`t get me started on him being compared to
CAMMY.Not even in line to polish CAMMY`S boots,maybe carrying CAMMY`S bag from the bus to the club rooms

Stormy mate, he can't even knock Ennis out of a blues Jersey which is why he played for Lebanon recently which excludes him from playing for the blues one would think

Perhaps your memory of him is clouded by the year at the Eagles or the vast majority of his career with the Sharks but I can clearly recall when he celebrated his final season and match number 300 and most extensive part of his highlight footage was of the 3 seasons he spent in the navy and purple.

To put in in perspective he played nearly twice as many games for the Sharks yet only scored 34 times compared with 27 at the Storm. IMO he peaked somewhere around 2003 so his best years were around the inception of the Storm and certainly helped getting the clubs winning culture underway. I wouldn't hold it against these guys for rating him highly based on that.

Me too, Dogs look better with Romelo at dummy half ;)
Case in point Lawrence's try for the Titans on Sunday.


And playing from Lebanon wouldn't rule Farah out of Origin but his form and his club's form will.

while we're ranking players, what about a hall of fame? say 10 players (1 a legend). there have been 140 players for the storm so far so 10 is still elite. i would suggest the following 10 in alphabetical order as ranking them is just too hard:

1.marcus bai
2.cooper cronk
3.scott hill
4.stephen kearney
5.robbie kearns - legend (would be cam but i feel this honour should go to someone who is retired)
6.brett kimmorley
7.glenn lazarus
8.tawera nikau
9.billy slater
10.cameron smith
