Quote ="MadDogg"Anyone suggesting Farrell should be 'dropped' due to poor performance have lost the plot.
He needs a couple of the weeks rest after the semi final as he looks fatigued. But I'd love to know how many times he took the ball up against Saints along with his tackle count. He's almost working too hard as it's negating his attacking threat.
In terms of props, I'd go with Mossop and Crosby starting with Taylor and Lauaki off the bench. Gelling should continue, I think if we stick with him he could prove himself to be a big threat at centre IF he can cut out the brain explosions.'"
I agree! It's madness! Farrell made 114 metres against Saints, one of only three players to make over 100m (Gelling and Taylor the others) and made 30 tackles.
He's not at the same level as he was earlier in the season when Blake Green was at his best but he's still playing better than most back row forwards in Super League and more importantly he's making a big contribution to the team. We have no player to bring in who will make up for what Farrell brings.
