I hope the fact it is being announced means Farrar is here. Has certainly got some experience in the NRL and SL so must be a decent enough player one hopes

If I am correct Wallace, Everett, Burnett, Agboke & Macani are not classed as "1st Teamers"

| Quote: "27 years old, Farrar played his junior football for the Western Suburbs Rosellas before being signed by the Newcastle Knights. He played for the Knights' S.G. Ball team in 2004, winning the 2004 S.G. Ball Cup Grand Final.
In 2005, Farrar joined the Parramatta Eels,[1] winning the Premier League Grand Final in 2006.[2]
In 2007, Farrar joined the North Queensland Cowboys. He played for the North Queensland Young Guns in the Queensland Cup.[3]
In Round 7 of the 2007 NRL season, Farrar made his NRL debut for the Cowboys against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. He scored a try on debut.
In 2009, after playing 38 games for the club, Farrar made a mid-season move to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in a player swap for Michael Bani.
In 2010, Farrar was thrust into the fullback position for the Sea Eagles after playing most of his career as a centre or wing following a season ending knee injury to team mate Brett Stewart. Despite not having played at the back since his junior days, Farrar generally impressed with his displays at fullback for the Sea Eagles.
On 14 September 2010, Farrar signed a 1-year contract with the Catalans Dragons in the Super League starting in 2011, alongside childhood teammate, Scott Dureau.
In 2011, Farrar signed a 2-year contract to return to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in 2012. After two injury plagued seasons though, Farrar did not play a first-grade game.
At the end of the 2013 NRL season, Farrar returned to Newcastle, New South Wales to join the Western Suburbs Rosellas again.[
'"
Hope injuries are behind him................. O'C was good in his first season, after that............................. |

THE ONLY WAY TO GET SMARTER IS BY PLAYING A SMARTER OPPONENT
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_34025.png |

Ben Farrar is a quality signing for a club in our position and his position is not as a half-back, he is a centre or a fullback.
If we play him as a 6, then it will be as a running 6 and you only do that if you have a real schemer in the 7 jersey or you are in dire straits.
Jamie O'Callaghan wouldn't have been let go if he was really wanted, but we need bodies and he can cover a number of positions in a loosely adequate way.
Never heard of the lad Forster, but hopefully he's game.
All in all three welcome additions as they are warm bodies, but what we really want is ready to run at opposition props to arrive at Underhill.

Didn't we release O'C in the Quins days as well?
Never really rated him , thought he found his level at Skolars.

Quote: North London Gooner "3 more new (ish) recruits.
Aussie Half/Full back Ben Farrar being one.
His try average to appearances is very good. Fingers crossed for him with us. Hope he's fully fit after his injuries.

You're not the only one. I hope he can pick up again now - he is the prime example of a promising local player being destroyed being overplayed out of position. He had a big heart and I hope he gets a wing spot again |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]
