Quote: nathan_rugby "Farrell would be a huge gamble and would cost a lot in salary.
I could only see him playing scrum half or stand off, 100% not loose forward as there is no way he could defend in the middle and take the ball up.
Lots of assumptions about the commercial value he would bring but how much and from what avenues?'"
Why are we discussing Farrell, he’s spent his career in RU, I appreciate my knowledge of RU is limited, but watching the World Cup now and desperately hoping some rugby will break out, there’s lots of standing around and then someone kicks, we have 10 minutes for a scrum.
Farrell would be blowing out of his 10 mins into todays game at Leeds, or the Leigh saints game last night. It would take a year to get him fit, and I don’t see how he puts bums on seats, not sure if any player does that now. But that’s my view I like Farrell as a player, but he’s way too much of a risk and that wage could be f dad lent better elsewhere
